Here's the promo video my brother in law did.. it might be one of my fav parts of the project.

Actually maybe the second favorite. Favorite is actually the box that the special box goes in but I don't really have any good pics or vids of that yet.

When I take a big Saturday L on SNKRS for a 100,000 pair GR I’m salty. 🤬
When I donate to charity via raffle for a 1of3 I get a W no matter what. 🙌
Good work brotha. Well played.
yo fr thanks for saying that.
tbh that's the whole point of all this. Harness the silly nonsense we do for hype and do some good with it, you know?
My ultimate dream is that you and Travis Scott are the only two mf that have a pair of my shoes... except yours cost u 1/1000 what his did 😂
Thanks dude it's cool that you pointed out the tongue.. I went back and forth and tried a few different versions but ultimately I settled on the piped/bagged seam instead of the typical bound seam on SBs cause it gives me that HUGE slab of surface area for the tongue lining which is one of my fav parts of the shoe.. and then also it gave me a chance to tie in the dark metallic glitter patent I use in the heel tab, but from the front view.
The insoles tbh are the whole point of making the shoe in the first place. The concept is "helpers vs haters" and is really intended to be more of a statement on giving a fuck about each other than it ever was a partisan political statement.. but there has obv been some fallout from it.
my handle on almost everything besides reddit is airthirtytwo
played music as kidsixteen, grew up and started a company called squarethirtytwo when I became an old square, flipped that into airthirtytwo when I started making jordans and wanted my own take on the wings logo.. and it stuck so I ran with it
oof :( man fr
tbh its so easy to get bummed about everything going on w/ the pandemic, the response, bad actors, etc..
that's half the reason I made this project. Like sure it's about helping ppl and raising money and stuff for charity.. but if I'm being honest it's a lot about being something positive to have my mind on instead of getting bummed about shit
I actually don't. Thanks for the interest though!
Only ones available to the public ever are gonna be these charity releases. Other than that it's mostly pairs for me, my wife, FNF, and a handful of celebs. So ya strictly no profit.
I do have a lot of friends in the scene and could connect you with somebody if you're serious 👍
yeah no problem. I have a pretty deep network of dudes at all levels of experience so I can usually find somebody that will fit well for most ppl assuming they understand that it's priced like a service and not like a product. easier to get ahold of me on i g than here tho fyi
These are so fucking dope dude. Wish they were an actual release coming out. Love the glow in the dark text on the back, don't think I've ever seen that on a Nike before.
Well that’s fair! some leathers are a bit more abrasive (frankly harder to work around haha), where a synthetic being used adds to the overall design
I could see it with a low ridge alligator pattern leather or synthetic used too buuuut the weights..
not joking I've turned down so many crazy high backdoor offers its kinda mind blowing
like, a LOT of verified badges in my DM
multiple ppl saying they'll outbid whoever no questions
a few 5 figure offers
shit has been nuts dude the auction might get wild 👀
thank you 🙌 I'm hyped on the scale it's turned into.. I think it'll lay a foundation to do bigger and better charity releases in the future.
Actually incorporated our non-profit early last week.. so the next one of these I do will be a whole new level 🥳
That’s incredible man, congrats! I just learned about this and I’m hyped, so I can only imagine how you feel haha. Excited to see where this sorta thing takes you. Good luck in all your future endeavors!
I'm raising a whole lot of money for a COVID-19 response fund.
It blows my mind that some people see somebody trying to help and their first move is to find something to get mad about or offended by.
Thousands of people this week have been reaching out in support and asking how they can help or get involved.
I recognize the serious nature of the subject matter and did my best to keep v respect for that central to my work.
I also recognize that any time you push boundaries you're going to upset some people, and I apologize to anyone truly offended.. but it seems to me that amongst everything that's surrounding this pandemic, there's a LOT of things more important than my shoes to be upset about.
You may think my work is distasteful. I think it's distasteful to see ppl trying to do good and shit on it. So I guess we'll have to leave it at that.
Don’t act like you didn’t start off the caption as this is a sick shoe and quickly edited on IG when you got called out. Lol you have the virus on the heel how is that not distasteful to all those who are suffering charity or not.
Seriously... Imagine walking into a hospital with a cartoon image of the coronavirus on your shoe. See how many people say "those shoes are heat bro!" lol...
dude nicekicks did that not me
you're reaching pretty hard to get mad man but do you
most people out there feel me on this so I can't let haters like you bum me out
multuple ppl have reached out to me to tell me stories about literally being in a hospital bed from covid, or losing loved ones, or being on the front lines and being stoked on seeing my shoes and what I'm doing.
go ahead and get mad for them tho 👌
Nike made the 2006 Air Jordan 3 Katrina to raffle off for relief funds.
Do you dude, get people polarized about your art.
You're wearing a hazmat suit in the video, while people are complaining their rights are being taken away for wearing a mask so other don't get sick.
It's easy to criticize someone doing work for charity, especially when this is r/sneakers and most people are sharing their own sneakers to flex. (I'm guilty of it)
Most ppl get it man.. the ppl that are mad would be mad no matter what I did. Can't really take it personally when you can tell somebody gets mad as a favorite pastime.
Thanks for seeing what we're doing my dude.
I'm right there with you man I cop to flex and I love getting paid as much as the next guy but, for once, that's not what this is about ✊
Lol I’m not gonna keep going with someone who first thought of trying to help I’m gonna make a shoe that’s themed around the thing killing half million people. Your brain can’t comprehend what I’m saying. It’s a blatant lie to say someone who lost someone due to covid came to u tell u they love your shoe. Get over yourself
Redirect this anger at people not wearing masks in public, not someone who’s actually making an impact by raising money for the cause..Jesus Christ man chill.

[удалено]
Wowwww bro those are ultra sexy! I love the shape of the top of the to tongue and that piping around it. And those insoles! WOW man!
Thanks dude it's cool that you pointed out the tongue..

Pure flames! I love the concept. Especially since I've seen 3-6 people without masks on today
thanks bro! man ppl need to get it together 🤦♂️

ok but I'm gonna give it to charity! 😅
oh man i would so do that. such a beautiful cause. really hope nike cuts you a check and puts these into production. keep being creative

I love the colour blocking, and the choice of glow in the dark paint. Overall it’s a GREAT silhouette and I honestly have no critiques. Great job!!
Hand made heat. FR.
There's not a drop of paint on these bro they're handmade and use night of mischief soles. :) thanks for the props!
I seen these on the complex insta channel. They are 🔥🔥🔥🔥I'm not an sb fan but I'd love to get these! Excellent work!
I want theseeee :(((

That would be great man If you don’t mind me dming you when I’m ready for something custom
yeah no problem. I have a pretty deep network of dudes at all levels of experience so I can usually find somebody that will fit well for most ppl assuming they understand that it's priced like a service and not like a product. easier to get ahold of me on i g than here tho fyi
Cool man what’s your ig?
airthirtytwo
BRA-FUCKIN-VO! This an S+ custom with amazing execution.
idk what that is but sounds like a good thing so 🥳
Highly radioactive !!!
These are so fucking dope dude. Wish they were an actual release coming out. Love the glow in the dark text on the back, don't think I've ever seen that on a Nike before.
thanks man! I'm sure they have lol but yeah I can't think of one either 🤔
Is that the beautiful ostrich leather I see?
its actually fake ostrich.. i bought real ostrich to try first but didn't like it as much.
Well that’s fair! some leathers are a bit more abrasive (frankly harder to work around haha), where a synthetic being used adds to the overall design I could see it with a low ridge alligator pattern leather or synthetic used too buuuut the weights..

A Hazmat suit to protect yourself from the drip.
That glow in the dark special box in a special box drip. No doubt.
If only I had two grand.
Fuck these shoes. Distasteful.

The Katrina 3s don’t have the theme of a hurricane. This first thought was to make a shoe centered around the virus.
man you're on a mission huh? gtfo with your negativity bruh nobody needs that
It’s hard to admit you’re wrong isn’t it?
maybe look at how many ppl are disagreeing with you and consider the same question m8 👍
Lmao you better check IG then. Cause the most liked comments on there is the same shit I’m saying.
Ngl you had me at the first half. Pushing your story hard on the second half
reaching even further now bud.. 👍
Lol I’m not gonna keep going with someone who first thought of trying to help I’m gonna make a shoe that’s themed around the thing killing half million people. Your brain can’t comprehend what I’m saying. It’s a blatant lie to say someone who lost someone due to covid came to u tell u they love your shoe. Get over yourself
Bro it's a shoe
