  • Reebok’s "I Am What I Am" campaign is including Basquiat along with other celebrities, including Jay-Z, 50 Cent, Allen Iverson and Christina Ricci. Um. Christina Ricci? She's great, I'm not knocking her, but I get every name here except hers.
  • Heh, I'm waiting for the Sara Vowel basketball shoes.
  • *sigh*
  • Uh, is this in support of anything? Any charity involved? Not that I'm against the selling out of dead celebrities per se, I just want to know that beforehand, that's all. *still kicking himself for passing up on Terry Fox Adidas*
  • Next: Van Goghlf Shoes Seurat's Pointy-listic Stiletto Pumps Kandin-Ski Boots
  • I'm not knocking her Well, just get out of the way and let me at her, then. Hey, wokka wokka!
  • You go to your room.

  • I remember visiting the Warhol museum in Pittsburgh, and being really enthused, and then coming into the Basquiat gallery and being totally non-plussed. There. I said it.
  • Oh and by the way, just wait until Cool Hunting get hold of this. Sneakers! Artist! Oh, the Nathanity...
  • Basquait was overrated shite. Even having some shitty trainers named after him is more than he deserved. Now, who wants some kitfisto-branded underpants?
  • Oh, me!
  • Uh, Koko, it just means his mom sewed his name in them. Kit's trademark is just one stripe! Heh!
  • And a Golden Circle.
  • Okay boys, roll out the corpse! This thread's ready!
