Fashion. Nas sports the crackle wears
Fashion. Nas sports the crackle wears: Who would have known that so many memories could be tied to one design? Ever since the 7th grade, we've been in awe of the the crackle aesthetic, which was found on signature Jordans. The cracked-concrete pattern has to be one of the greatest prints of all time. It's amazing to think about how influential the art from the late 80s to mid 90s has become. Seeing Nas rocking the crackle reminds us of so many things - fresh kicks, summer vacations, ciphers, high-top fades and mix-tapes we never wanted to end.
Nas isn't letting that go, and neither is MIKE - a brand by Scott Nelson that is taking the world by storm. Scott's work, which features the crackle print on canvas kicks, bikes, hats, hoodies and even a crackle berry, is one of the most promising upcoming fashion labels hitting the street wear market today. We really dig Scott's approach - simple, kind and humble. None of this manufactured exclusiveness. His designs are fresh, plain and simple.
