Just got back to my hotel room from spending the day on the Universal backlot with 25 cultural purveyors (including HF, Fraser, Eddie Cruz, Eugene from Hypebeast, Edison Chen, Jeff from HighSnobiety, Patta, Crooked Tongues, Matt from Nice Kicks, etc.)
Nike really went all out for this - I commend them.
The shoes do NOT auto-lace. In Mark Parker's words "It's not 2015 yet."
As to why 2011 and not wait til 2015, I think there IS a sense of urgency here - with Michael J Fox and Parkinson's.. why wait? Let's take action NOW.
I'm working on my photos and storytelling and will probably have a fresh blog up for you guys on thehundreds.com in a couple hours.
Hope everyone's enjoying this as much as I am
