These super soft buttery 2003 Air Max 95’s have got me feelin pretty FILA. Every time I slip these on I can’t help but think of @raekwon ’s F.I.L.A. (Fly International Luxurious Art) moniker.
Fly - because they’re Air Max 95’s
International - because they were made in Italy
Luxurious - because they were made with super soft Italian leather (unlike ANY other pair of shoes I have)
Art - because they really feel like a work of art
I watched that 4 part Wu Tang documentary a few weeks ago (Of Mics & Men) and gotta say Raekwon is the dude who I fux with the most on the *style* tip. In all of the old videos he’s got on something I either bartered to own or would have LOVED to own and most Lo Heads know (I’m not really a #lohead) he’s the most popular dude to immortalize the Snow Beach pullover…
IMO - He’s also had the best sneaker collaborations thus far - with Diadora - and I’ve copped more than a few pairs of shoes based on his recommendations (Mizhuno x @24kilatesbkk anyone?)
All that plus the ONLY place I EVER saw these for sale - Training Camp at Bryant Park - famously had a pair of Wu-Tang dunks in a display case (that they refused to sell). Funny how certain things you just associate with someone...
