mita sneakers has teamed with Reebok for the Insta Pump Fury “Leopard.” The Japanese have always favored the bold pattern, so it comes as no surprise that the facade is draped in an eye-catching wrapping. Paired with a predominant, black upper and subtle hints of red on the front and tongue, this is a potent statement to make in 2012. The release date points to January 2 for these to hit the shelf.
GZA was the guest of honor last week as he voyaged to Cambridge, Massachusetts to visit two of the worlds renowned academic institutions to engage in his first ever lecture. It began with his childhood influences of Kung Fu movies, chess, and nursery rhymes and eventually transitioning to his world views from a scientific and spiritual standpoint in which he notably stated “every being and object within the universe is connected somehow, whether visibly or invisibly….from micro to macro…the deeper one sees into life, the wider life opens itself to one.” Prior to his lecture at Harvard, he was also invited to a panel of great minds at M.I.T. to discuss quantum physics, biology, and oceanography – all of which that will play an influential role in his upcoming album. GZA’s parting message of the lecture, “Live a life full of humility, gratitude, intellectual curiosity and never stop learning.” We were in attendance for the event and were fortunate enough to pick his brain on a few topics.
