Dagens Sko-Lektion : Eminem’s Nike Collaborations

Jag tänkte att vi skulle ta en paus ifrån den hädande Kanye West och dom löjligt hypade skorna han designat.
Och istället ta fram en annan rappare som också gjort skor med Nike.. Som också blivit extremt hypade..
Men på rätt sätt… Han och Nike har jobbat i det tysta.. Och skorna är bara eftertraktade bland riktiga sneakersamlare.

Dom flesta har bara varit till Friends & Family eller auktionerats ut..

 

Eminem is back!

Och jag hoppas på ett par nya Nike – Eminem skor..
Vilket jag tror att det kommer att komma.

Här är iallafall vad som har fått skåda ljuset hittills.

För snart 11 år sedan… 2003, Så började det.

Nike Air Max Burst ”Air Slim Shady”

A Complete History of Eminem's Nike Collaborations
Ett par gråa Burst.. Inget speciellt alls.

Varför det blev på den modellen var för att det var Eminems favoritsko back in the days.

Det var inte mycket som tydde på att det var en ”Eminem-sko”

Eminem x Nike Air Burst Outsole uploaded by hideo21Eminem x Nike Air Burst Outsole uploaded by hideo21

Dessa blev inte uppmärksammade alls eftersom dom ingick i Nike´s ”Artist Series”.
Där vi blanda annat hade skor skapade tillsammans med Pharrell/Neptunes..

Sdc14322

Dom blev det bara 1050 par utav. Alla numrerade..

Likså dessa, Som var dom mest hypade i den kollektionen.

41

Eminem-skorna var ännu mer limiterade.. 1000 par bara.. Men..  Och dom är inte dyra idag i heller.. Har sett såna för 250 dollar.

 

2004 – Nike Air Force 1 Low ”Shady Records”

A Complete History of Eminem's Nike Collaborations

 

Dessa är ännu mer speciella..
Detta var Em´s första ”Friends & Family” skor.

Dom släpptes för att fira hans Encore album, Och till bara vänner och familj..

För ett par år sedan innan ”alla” började samla på skor och betala överpriser, Så låg dessa på 600 dollar ca.. Nu minst 1400 dollar. . Om du hittar dom.
Inte ens FlichtClub har dom..

2004 – Nike Air Force 1 Low ”ENCORE”

A Complete History of Eminem's Nike Collaborations

Detta är dom ANDRA ENCORE skorna.
Dom släpptes också bara till Friends & Family.

Dom är i samma färger som dom andra skorna.. Men på dessa står det ENCORE

Och på modellen ovan så står det Shady Records och ett bakvänt E där framme på sidan.

2004 – Nike Air Force 1 Low White ”Shady Records”

Hittar du ett par såna till salu så är det tyvärr rätt så säkert kopior.

2005 – Air Jordan 4 Retro ”ENCORE”

Här har vi SKORNA!

A Complete History of Eminem's Nike Collaborations
Detta är några av dom mest eftertraktade skorna som finns.. Ja alltså nu tänker jag inte bara på Eminem.. Eller Jordans.. Utan allmänt!
Det är utan tvekan dom mest eftertraktade Jordans som MJ själv aldrig spelade i!

#sneakerholic DJ AM and his Air Jordan 4 Eminems

50 par blev det av dessa.. Vissa säger 40..
Dessa var däremot inga Friends & Family, Utan släpptes ut till allmänheten via en tävling.

Blå mocka…

http://paintorthread.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/air-jordan-eminem-iv-sole-collector.jpg

Dessa är omöjliga att få tag på… Eminem själva har tydligen inte ens ett par.. Han slet ut sina på planen..

Pris?… Glöm det.. Bara glöm det..

MEN!.. ShoeZeum kommer att sälja ett par i min storlek.. Nån gång..

Men räkna med minst 100 000kr alltså.

Inte minst med tanke på vem som har ägt dom…

Nästa par skor var en början på Nike´s ”Charity Series”

2005 – Nike Air Max 1 ”Charity Series” – BIG PROOF

A Complete History of Eminem's Nike Collaborations
Eminems gamle vän och D12 bandmedlemmen Proof blev mördad 2006.

Och för att pay tribute till detta så gjorde Nike dessa limiterade skorna och auktionerade ut dom, Vinsten gick till Marshall Mathers Foundation.

Det bara blev 8 par av denna modellen.

Har sett dom med ett utgångspris på 1000 dollar för två år sedan.

 

2006 – Nike Air Max 90 ”Charity Series” – EMINEM

A Complete History of Eminem's Nike Collaborations

Ännu ett par Charity.. Också 8 par bara..

eminem airmax90 1 Nike EMINEM x Nike Air Max Charity

 

EMINEM and Nike come together to help raise funds for disadvantaged youths around the world

– Unique product collaboration is born to help raise funds for the Marshall Mathers Foundation and ninemillion.org –

Multi-platinum rapper EMINEM and Nike, the world�s leading sports and fitness company, have joined forces to create a limited edition run of the iconic Air Max series to benefit charity. An ardent fan of the Air Max and avid collector of sneakers, Slim Shady jumped at the chance to imprint his own personal touch on the world of sneaker collectors and raise funds for disadvantaged youths, both in his home state of Mitchigan, USA, and around the world in refugee camps.

EMINEM (aka Marshall Mathers) has turned his talents to designing limited-edition uppers of eight different shoes in the Air Max series; from the Air Max �87 (originally designed by Tinker Hatfield, one of the world�s foremost footwear designers), all the way up to the most recent Air Max 360, the new full-length Air technology from Nike. His reinterpretation of the upper has been laid onto the original blueprints for each of the Air Max shoes to create a unique set of shoe designs. �If you told me ten years ago that I�d be designing this whole series of Air Max�s, I never would have believed it,� commented EMINEM. �It�s one of the hottest lines that Nike ever produced, so I�m honored to make my own contribution. My only problem was figuring out how to make the shoes different from stuff they�ve already done: Nike always has the dopest color combos.�

Only 8 full sets of the footwear (64 pairs of shoes in total), will be produced before they are auctioned off over a period of 4 weeks, starting August 31st, to help raise money for the Marshall Mathers Foundation and ninemillion.org. All 64 pairs will be numbered and autographed by EMINEM making them true collectors items in every sense.

EMINEM remarks: �We�re always looking for new ways to try raise money and awareness for the foundation, so when Nike approached us we jumped at the chance. When we got the info on ninemillion.org, it made even more sense. Who wouldn�t want to design their own line of Nikes? And to do it for charity makes it that much better.�

Throughout its history the Air Max series has set a benchmark in sports performance, continually elevating product design and technology to new levels.

 

 

Så fler såna skor..
Dessa fick D12 designa.

2008 – Air Jordan Retro II ”The Way I Am”

A Complete History of Eminem's Nike Collaborations

Jordan II orna är allmänt känt som Eminems favorit Jordan.. Så det är konstigt att det inte blev ett par Jordan II tidigare.

Dessa skorna släpptes för att promota hans autobiography, ”The Way I Am.”,
Runt hela skon så kan man se Em texter nerkladdade.

Och för att hylla Em´s hemstad, Detroit så blev det bara 313 par av denna modellen (Area code)

Taget från Complex

 

Nike Air Max Burst ”Air Slim Shady”

Year of Release: 2003

The first sneaker that kicked off all the collaborations with Nike was a pair of grey Air Max Bursts. People may not remember these because they were a part of the ”Artist Series” that also featured popular shoes like the Pharrell x Nike Dunk Hi and the ESPO x Nike Air Force II, but they’re a coveted grail amongst Em fans and runner fiends. The Air Burst was Shady’s favorite sneaker to rock back in his early beginnings.

Nike Air Force 1 Low ”Shady Records”

Year of Release: 2004

This was the first of Eminem’s friends-and-family Air Force 1s, and was made to commemorate the release of Em’s Encore album. This sneaker featured a black/grey/white color scheme, Shady Records’ logo on the heel, and Em’s reverse ”E” on the front.

Nike Air Force 1 Low ”ENCORE”

Year of Release: 2004

The second ”ENCORE” Air Force 1 released for Em’s friends and family alongside the ”Shady Records” Air Forces. Although both of these sneakers came in identical color schemes, this pair sports ”Encore” on the heel rather than the Shady Records type.

11. Nike Air Force 1 Low White ”Shady Records”

Year of Release: 2004

This was the last Air Force 1 drop for friends and family. The sneaker features an all-white upper with an icy outsole. The sneaker’s insole reps 50 Cent, D12, Green Lantern, and the rest of Shady Records—which is why it’s perfect for Eminem’s crew. (Er, isn’t it time for another one?)

Air Jordan 4 Retro ”ENCORE”

Year of Release: 2005

Michael Jordan never played in Eminem’s Air Jordan IVs, but they’re still one of the most sought-after Jordans. There were only about 50 pairs of these sneakers released to the public via a contest. Their blue nubuck upper is too dope. Rare isn’t even a word to describe these sneakers. If you see someone with a pair on, your head may explode.

Nike Air Max 1 ”Charity Series” – BIG PROOF

Year of Release: 2006

Nike kicked off its ”Charity Series” with an Air Max 1 which paid tribute to Eminem’s best friend and D12 affiliate, Proof, who was tragically killed in 2006. The sneakers (including seven other Air Max silhouettes) were made in limited quantities and auctioned off with all proceeds going to the Marshall Mathers Foundation.

Nike Air Max 90 ”Charity Series” – EMINEM

Year Of Release: 2006

This pair of Air Max 90s continued Nike and Eminem’s ”Charity Series.” These 90s feature mesh, patent leather, and suede on the upper and sports Eminem’s branding on the heel. Don’t expect to find these in your average Air Max fan’s closet.

Nike Air Max 93 ”Charity Series” – D12

Year of Release: 2006

D12 got their chance to design a shoe for the Charity Air Max Series, too, as it took on a pair of Air Max 93s. The shoe has D12’s branding on the toe box and elephant print on the midsole, and is dope because the Air Max 93, until recently, had faded into obscurity. This sneaker is proof that the model needs to be made more often.

Nike Air 180 ”Charity Series” – Shade 45

Year of Release: 2006

The Air Max 180 was another runner that was a part of the Charity Series. This shoe was made to commemorate Eminem’s satellite radio station, Shade 45. The 180 had a simple white/black/purple/orange color scheme with the radio station’s branding on the heel, but continued to show that Em knew his Air Max history.

Nike Air Max 95 ”Charity Series” – Goliath

Year of Release: 2006

Paul Rosenberg, Eminem’s manager and co-founder of Shady Records, designed his own pair of Air Max 95s as a part of the Charity Series, too. Like the others in this pack, these kicks were super limited—to eight pairs. What made these sneakers dope is their black/white/orange color scheme, but also their camo underlay beneath the lacing.

Nike Air Max 97 ”Charity Series”- Shady Records

Year of Release: 2006

Adding the Air Max 97 to the mix, Eminem put together put together a Shady Records sneaker for the Air Max ”Charity Series.” The Shady Records branding could be found on the front of the shoe. The sneaker had an ACG theme with its brown, tan, orange, and blue upper. The Air Max 97 has always been known for its bright, 3M upper, and this attribute helped this sneaker pop through its (relatively) muted make-up.

Nike Air Max 360 ”Charity Series” – Interscope Records

Year of Release: 2006

Former Marshall Mathers LP Product Manager and current OddFuture manager Christian Clancy got his crack to design a pair of sneakers for the ”Charity Series.” He didn’t reach into Nike’s Air Max archive, but Clancy kept Nike’s most current Air Max sneaker at the time, the Air Max 360, runner simple in a black, grey, and white color scheme. You can find Interscope Records’ branding on the heel.

Nike Air Max 2003 ”Charity Series” – EMINEM

Year of Release: 2006

The last sneaker out of the Charity pack was the Air Max 2003, which had Eminem’s ”E” on the front. The sneakers followed suit with the other sneakers in the collection and had a black and orange color scheme, and used the silhouette of one of the most underrated Air Max sneakers of all time.

Air Jordan Retro II ”The Way I Am”

Year of Release: 2008

Eminem’s Air Jordan II is very special to him. This was his first pair of Jordans growing up and quickly became his favorite one. This shoe was made to promote his autobiography, ”The Way I Am.” On the mud guard and ankle collar of the shoe, it has Em’s lyrics scribbled throughout. This sneaker also sent a huge shout out to his hometown, Detroit, as there were only 313 pairs made.
