Jordan III - True Blues

It wasn’t long ago, about two years now, that the last release of this Air Jordan III in True Blue was released. This year, on Independence Day, the latest incarnation of the True Blue retro drops, to the delight of fans of the Jordan series. While the recent drops of the Black History Month and Cement Air Jordan IIIs have eaten away at bank accounts, the forthcoming Stealth colorway that we just showed you promises to do the same.  But more than all of the above, the True Blue has the potential to be more in demand with its iconic elephant print on the heel and toe and simple colorblocking of the blue hits above the midsole, on the collar, and on the lacelocks. Keep it here for more detailed images as they emerge.

Nike SB x Geoff McFetridge Paper Dunk High For MOCA

Even if you’re not a skateboarder, this is really cool: on Thursday, April 17th, the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), is opening an exhibit focused on the history of graffiti and street art, which includes a skateable art installation; the installation was designed by skate legend Lance Mountain and artist Geoff McFetridge, and will see weekly skate session by the Nike SB team throughout the duration of the exhibition. Nike has also produced a collection of limited edition shirts for the exhibit, featuring art by Lance Mountain, Neckface, Futura and CR Stecyk III, plus the Nike SB x Geoff McFetridge Paper Dunk High – limited to 24 unique pairs, each made from an original piece of McFetride’s artwork. The sneakers, available in sizes 9, 10 and 11, will be auctioned on May 26, 2011 with a starting price of $100, and all proceeds benefit the MOCA Foundation. The skateable installation, which ties into the exciting re-emergence of performance art in pop culture, is beautifully fun, and the Geoff McFetridge Paper Dunk is an amazing shoe. Check out images of the installation, the artist T-shirts, and the Dunk after the jump.
