Nike’s newest drop is an ode to NYC in the ’90s

, Nordstrom’s VP of creative projects, the era represents her teen years in New York City. At the time, you could see different style tribes all over downtown Manhattan. A short walk would take you from the skaters in Washington Square Park to the grunge-inspired shoppers rummaging the vintage racksto the punk kids hanging out at St. Marks. This mishmash of hip-hop, rave, and DIY culture serves as the inspiration behind Kim’s new collaboration with Nike.

Which is not to say that that the other sneakers don’t feel special, too. The pink-and-zebra print Air Footscape is a nod to punk culture. The Air Max 98 gets the rainbow treatment, as inspired by dance hall culture. Kim takes the well-loved Air Force 1 and remixes it in blue corduroy and acid yellow snakeskin, while the Mowabb hiking shoe gets enlivened with splashes of red and teal. Both of these sneakers also have another special element: a matching Betty Boop hang tag.

A law from the 1600s will keep retail shops closed on Sundays at the nation's newest shopping mallA massive entertainment and retail complex, Triple Five Group's American Dream, is opening in the last county in the country where commercial shopping is still prohibited on Sundays: Bergen County, New Jersey. I like it. The only businesses that should be open on Sunday’s are essential services like gas stations or grocery stores. Some service sector employees never have a day off. When I was growing up, I think that even grocery stores were closed on Sundays. This seems like this county would be missing a lot of tax revenue to have this shopping mall closed on Sundays. 'The American Dream' isn't shopping.
