Nike Air Max 90 "Tongue N' Cheek" x Dizzee Rascal x Ben Drury

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.

Check out an interview with Dizze Rascal and Ben Drury on the kicks and sneakers in general at Crooked Tongues.

Nike 1World Air Force 1 x Booba
We recently showed you a teaser image of the Nike 1World Air Force One x Booba, now we show the full images that just dropped.

Booba is often compared to American rapper 50 Cent and was even featured on a 50 track on the French version of his last album. Around 5years ago Booba was featured in The Source as international lyrical talent. Booba's international fame will definitely get a boost with the release of his Nike Air Force Ones.

The kicks come in a red leather upper with a tattoo design by French tattoo artist Laura Satana. On the tongue in place of the Nike logo there is the 09 the name of his latest album. The sole of the sneaker is translucent and features the Senegalese flag a nod to Booba's heritage.

The kicks will release on the 6th of December 2008 exclusively at Booba's clothing shop Boulbi & Co, located in the Paris Suburb of Boulogne. The kicks are limited to 176 pairs in France so these will sell out quick.

No word on a release in other parts of the world but these should release in the US next year.
