ALEX NASH EXHIBITION AND PUMA PARTY

Every era has it's heroes. THIS is the era of sneaker culture. And Nash Money aka Alex Nash aka Mr. Second Son, is my Jet Li. I've been working with this guy on a project for SABC 2, where he designed and customised 11 sneakers, drawing inspiration from the 11 "cultures" (official languages, really) of South Africa for Heritage Day. The end result? Awe inspiring!

Nash arrived in S.A in late August from the UK to work on this project. We had very little time, as delivery was in September, but we pulled all-nighters and got it done. He had an Exhibition on the 15th of October, before he left. It was a collection of his best work, including the SABC 2 Heritage Sneakers, the Lacoste x Alex Nash designs, and a wealth of the sickest Air Max and Air Jordan customs out there. Speaking of AIR MAX, I can't help but respect those drops. Those is legends, and I have a feeling I'm going to be getting myself the Glory Red Air Attack Air Max 1. That's just an epic cut. The Exhibition was brought to us by the good guys at Miller, Vitamin Water and Greyscale. We see you ninjaz! For more pics from the evening, click here.

Later in the evening, my much better half and I headed up the road to THE ALEX THEATRE for the much awaited Puma Suede launch. This was an epic way to end what Nash Money started. Did someone say "Free Bar". I'll have the whole thing! Ahem. I also met Solly from ChannelO who had some bad news for me. And my boy Phiko from Red Bull who had worst news. All I can say is, I'm gonna be getting a lot less sleep. Might have to start complaining soon! Cameras were not allowed at this event though. So no pics. But I'm sure peoples got some snappies with their BB's. My boy Mr. Calibre, whose sneaker game is inspiring, was at both events. So was SCOOP MAKHATHINI! Have you seen this dude's sneaker collection? Nigga got a room for his sneakers yo! Now THAT'S a sneakerfreaker!

This was a great weekend that ended with me making a sick beat on a chilled Sunday. Life ought ta be loved! Peace and happines to you all.
