Nike brings back one of their greatest basketball shoes ever made. Designed by Tinker, the Air Flight 89 bears plenty of resemblance to the Jordan IV, including the sole and the script on the tongue. MJ even wore the Flight 89s now and again. They recently dropped as quikstrikes in what could easily pass as OGs in a black/zen grey-cool grey colourway, and have began arriving at retailers in Europe including Shelta. mash rating: 7.5/10

Alex Gross opened his latest exhibit at Jonathan Levine gallery over the weekend. In Product Placement, the Los Angeles-based artist expands upon themes that have appeared in his prior work. Branding, Consumption, Celebrity, Globalism, Love, and Mortality are just a few of the points being addressed in this group of 19 new oil paintings on canvas, panel and paper. Dramatic cloudscapes and erupting volcanoes coexist with pixelated faces, floating bubbles and smartphones, in a postmodern hybrid of advertising, propaganda and surrealism. The show runs until March 24th.
