The Air Jordan XI has been an iconic silhouette with many popular and sought after iterations. The "Legend Blue" colorway that dropped at the end of 2014 has since been transformed into a functional shoe bag. Sticking to the characteristics of the XI, the shoe bag features nylon mesh and patent leather for a top-load design offering access to all your goods. The bottom of the bag is identical to the actual Jordan XI with an integrated outsole functioning as the base. Designers at Nike and Jordan Brand have certainly stepped out of the box with this design that it makes me wonder if any of the inspiration stems from Alexander Wang's sneaker bags from his Spring/Summer 2015 collection. Regardless, the Jordan XI Premium Shoe Bag is available online at Nike.com.
KYLE and Kehlani Tell Us Instagram Likes do not Mean Sh*t /
Love is an experience and understanding shared by two people going throughout life together, living in the present, making memories, and being completely engulfed in the moment. However, the Ventura, CA crooner, KYLE, and Oakland, CA songstress, Kehlani, fear that the world's next generation of kids will interpret love by the number of likes on their Instagram picture. Their new song, "Just A Picture", KYLE explains to FADER, "was inspired by the fear that there will be a 'selfie class' in middle school 20 years from now. Our kids grow up thinking that liking someone means double tapping their picture." The important message is accompanied by a funky pop beat produced by Sunny Norway and Ben Free. Enjoy below!
