Earlier this month the Nike Air Max 90 "Tongue N' Cheek" released at Nike Sportswear 1948 in London. The kicks are collaborative creation between Hip Hop MC Dizzee Rascal and artist Ben Drury to coincide with the release of the "Tongue N' Cheek" album.
Earlier today at 21 Mercer (Nike Sportswear NYC), the sneakers released in limited numbers. The kicks sold out in a matter of hours, however its unknown whether the the kicks will be re-stocked or receive a wider release.
As we posted last week, British Hip Hop MC and sneaker head Dizzee Rascal along with designer Ben Drury have created the Nike Air Max 90 "Tongue N' Cheek". The sneakers have been created in part to mark the release of the fourth album from the MC, "Tongue N' Cheek", which is expected to release on the 21st of September.
Here we have a look at a video that combines the kicks and music, with artwork from Ben Drury.
Look for the Nike Air Max 90 "Tongue N' Cheek" to release on the 18th of September exclusively at Nike Sportswear 1948 in London.
British MC Dizzee Rascal and British artist Ben Drury have collaborated on a pair of Nike Air Max 90's. The kicks mark the upcoming release of the "Tongue N' Cheek", which Ben Drury laid his hand on the cover art.
In terms of construction, Dizzee and Ben sought to create a "wearable" simple yet stylish sneaker. The upper is creamy in a mix of perforated, smooth and suede leather with grey on the heel and pink on the tongue.
You know that the sneakers come from Dizzee Rascal with the tongue in pink featuring "Tongue" on the right sneaker and "N' Cheek" on the left.
Other branded elements include a silhouette Dizzee on the heel and "Dirtee Stank Recordings" logo on the translucent outsole, insole and on the inside of the tongue.
You can pick up the limited sneakers at Nike Sportswear 1948 in London on the 18th of September.
