The famous pinstripes of the Yanks make up the upper of this Lebron V with a series of highlighting characteristics such as patent toebox and a series of messages along the side reading “Fresh for ‘08. Suckers” and the crowd favorite player chant “Le-bron…Ja-mes…clap clap clap clap clap” on the lining. No word yet on availability.

Something touched upon previously in an interview with A-Ron (formerly of aNYthing) by Heron Preston was a new space in Soho dedicated to a wealth of different activities. The 5,800 square foot Wreck Center will serve as a storefront, area for performances, art gallery and straight up place to chill out.
