Kanye’s Nike Air Yeezy II Shoe Will Launch June 9th

 

Los Angeles, CA – The Nike Air Yeezy II, the follow-up to the brand’s 2009 collaborative shoe with rapper/designer Kanye West, will be released June 9 at select retailers worldwide, Nike announced Wednesday.

According to the news release, while the original Yeezy used a late-’80s basketball shoe as its starting point, the II is built on a tennis shoe outsole (the Air Tech Challenge II, to be specific), and the overall silhouette is comparatively slimmer than that of its predecessor. Part of this is thanks to the elimination of unnecessary padding and partly due to the fact that it’s tailored to the shape of Kanye West’s (presumably narrower) foot.

Nike Air Yeezy IIThere are nearly enough animal references in the Air Yeezy II to stock a zoo, including anaconda-textured leather quarter panels and eyelets, a molded area above the heel with raised bumps that resemble the armored underside of a reptile, a bird design on the tongue, and a parade of critter hieroglyphics (spelling out ‘YZY’ we’re told) across the loop strap.

Nike Air Yeezy IIThe limited-edition shoe, with an MSRP of $245, will be released in two colorways — “platinum” (we’re going with “two slightly different shades of gray”) with the sparest of orange accents, and black with accents in pink. Based on the photos we’ve seen, both versions of the shoe have a sole in a shade of minty green.

@Krewella Announces Debut EP “Playhard”

Chicago, IL – Chicago’s West Loop was once known as one of the Midwest’s busiest manufacturing corridors. But soon, thanks to a hotly tipped EP dubbed Play Hard, it may be known for a sound manufactured by one of America’s most exciting new electronic music acts: KREWELLA.

Jahan, Yasmine and Rainman, who live in and create music in the gritty yet arty neighborhood, burst onto the national stage via their video for “Killin’ It” in early 2012, racking up Facebook likes and pinging around the globe via Twitter as EDM fans swooned over KREWELLA’s unique brand of dubstep-infused electronic music with female vocals. However, KREWELLA insists that they are just getting started.

“We get pigeonholed into it a lot, but only one of the tracks on our EP is actually dubstep,” says Kris Trindl aka ‘Rainman,’ beatmaker and one third of KREWELLA. “People like to put us in a box, but we just like good music….if it’s between 100BPM to 170 BPM we’ll figure out a way to make it work and have a good time with it,” the producer and DJ says. “We just make the music that we love.”

Jahan Yousaf, who co-writes lyrics along with her sister Yasmine Yousaf, help Rainman create KREWELLA’s sound. Tracks from their debut EP Play Hard, embody this signature sound, luring in listeners with melody and sensuality before Skrillex-worthy drops send fans into frenetic fits of EDM bliss. Kris’ masculine, pounding beats are offset by cooing vocals from both sisters, often resulting in a dizzying, heady mélange that sometimes veers into pop territory, something the band is proud of.

“Thanks to the internet, we grew up on a plethora of genres…KREWELLA is basically a product of the music that we were raised on—ranging from pop, to punk, to metal” says Jahan. Every track on the Play Hard EP embodies a different subgenre of EDM ranging from dubstep, to progressive house, to moombahton. Demand has proved so strong for KREWELLA’s signature sound that they have had to adjust touring plans from small clubs to major festival dates this year.

From Dallas’ Meltdown Festival to a string of dates at the Global Dance Festival (including a stop at Colorado’s famed Red Rocks Amphitheater), KREWELLA will be reaching tens of thousands all summer long, culminating in an appearance at the Electric Zoo festival in New York in September. Most recently, they joined Benny Bennassi at the Indy 500, pioneering the first EDM performance at the world’s largest sporting event.

Track listing for KREWELLA’s Play Hard is:

1. Play Hard
2. Killin’ It
3. Can’t Control Myself
4. Alive
5. One Minute
6. Feel Me (bonus track)
