“Kool Bob Love” a.k.a. Bobbito Garcia has been with it with sneakers and street culture since day one. Among his list of lengthy accomplishments include voice overs for NBA Street, editors of various street culture/music magazines, as well as the writer of the 2003 sneaker literature, “Where’d You Get Those? NYC’s Sneaker Culture 1960-1987â€Â. Having said that, Bobbito is no stranger to many things that influence and surround us. So it is very fitting for Nike to collaborate with the man himself in a series of AF1’s. This current one being the introduction for a few more to come.
Looking at this sneaker, you will see a combination of Kool Bob Love’s great loves, DJing and basketball. These two themes can be seen on each heel through the form of two logo’s, one representing a basketball and another representing a vinyl. On the heel tab’s each sneaker has LOVE written on it, however each O is replaced by the aformentioned basketball and vinyl.
