A.P.C. x Nike All-Court Revisted.


"Expectations are high for high profile collaborations, especially when it’s two big players like A.P.C. and Nike. Inspired by throwback 70’s tennis shoes, A.P.C. creator Jean Touitou has put his spin on the All-Court model, circa 1975. We think these look a little too much like your standard Nike’s from Foot Locker, aside from the quality canvas and minimalist A.P.C. logo on the tongue. Perfect, if you’re looking to impress sneaker aficionado’s but if you want to floss, you’ll have to put on your A.P.C. skinny’s to show off the tongue."

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: First and foremost, if Y.O.U. truly want to "floss", as suggested by the well intentioned, yet severely misguided writer over @ Limitedhype.Com, do NOT break out your anorexic trendoid skinny jeans when wearing these kicks. No, instead, simply throw a good cuff on your best pair of selvage jeans and allow these apparently-Jean-Touitou-didn't-feel-like-really-design-anything-innovative-that-day A.P.C. x Nike All-Court model creative collabos to naturally show off their hardbody A.P.C. logo in unpretentious style.

Rule Of Tongue: Trying too hard to show ANY logo label on ANY item of clothing is ALWAYS a bad and sad move. Remember when desperate people used to tuck their wife beaters and/or t-shirts into the tops of their draws just so they could advertise to the world, by way of the name etched into the elastic band, that they were indeed wearing Calvin Klein underwear? Yeah, that was never cool. The same rules apply today my nig. Those who comprehend it will emphatically commend it and, everybody else, fuck 'em ... lol.
