Stash “SPRAYED IN FULL” Exhibition @ The Seventh Letter





 
Taking to subways trains, gallery walls and sneakers for his renditions, Stash continues to extend his sought-after sentiment in the realms of art, fashion and lifestyle. A longstanding stalwart of graffiti culture, the New York native exhibited his canvases alongside art pioneers Keith Haring and Jean-Michael Basquiat when he was 17. Now he presents a selection of new works at Los Angles’s The Seventh Letter store and gallery for “SPRAYED IN FULL.” A nod to the process of graffiti painting and the wide array of colors needed in its genre, Stash utilizes his unique control of the spraycan in presenting a body of work where sporadic drips and splotches take on multicolored canvases. Bright hues that are usually seen on dimly lit street corners are transcended onto the minimalist gallery walls, celebrating graffiti motifs across the art world. If you’re in the Fairfax area, be sure to check out the exhibition for yourself, showing from now till April 12.

The black leather upper and lace-up closure are accented by the light leather sole, boasting an embossed AMI logo on the heel.

    Nike Air Max Plus “Inverted OG” Pack


     
    While remaining almost inexplicably absent from U.S. release schedules, the Nike Air Max Plus has continued to turn up across Europe, Asia and Australia – this time in a brand new “Inverted OG” pack from NSW. Recalling the silhouette’s original “Orange Tiger” and “Hyper Blue” colorways, the retro runners place the signature hues on the shoes’ exoskeletons as the mesh portion of the upper appears in stark white. Both versions can now be found via Foot Locker locations in Australia.

    Nike Basketball 2014 Easter Collection



     
    As spring slowly breaks through winter’s cold grasp and Easter appears on the horizon, Nike typically delivers a pair of sneakers inspired by the springtime holiday and its hallmark pastels. This time around however, a collection of three player-exclusive basketball kicks with unique color inspirations will release from the Beaverton camp. Starting with the LeBron 11 Low, this model tips its hat to wearing your Sunday best with a clean white upper and a paisley pattern as a tribute to Miami’s tropical palm trees. The Kobe 9 EM features a multicolored Engineer Mesh construction that resembles the Easter tradition of color-dying eggs. Lastly, the KD VI and its camouflage green upper was influenced by another Easter tradition: the egg hunt. Each of the three models will be available April 18 at Nike.com and select retail locations throughout the globe.

    adidas Originals and Pharrell Announce Partnership

     
    Recently, Pharrell took to the GRAMMYs wearing his much-discussed Buffalo Hat and a custom adidas Originals track jacket, while also wearing an all-red pair of adidas sneakers during his performance of “Happy” at the Oscars. Since then, the multi-talented artist, producer and designer has rarely been seen without his adidas on, leading to much speculation that he and the German sportswear giant might have something planned together. Today, the two have announced the start of an official partnership. While little has been shared as to what the collaboration will entail, judging by Pharrell’s endless creativity, we’re sure it’ll be nothing short of spectacular. The first pieces from the Pharrell Williams x adidas Originals collection will debut this summer. Stay tuned for more.
