Mashing up a relatively true-to-form upper with the unavoidable white brick sole, the Auto Force 180 comes in a banger of a New York Knicks colorway.. or if you must, NY Mets. Look for these come Holiday 2009

Upper Playground recently announced a collaborative project with Montana Colors to create artist series Hardcore cans by four artists. The second MTN x UP Limited Edition artist can in the series features the work of graffiti legend MQ.

It’s not politically correct for me to say that…. but who cares? I love this idea of graffiti and I pay the maximum respect for MQ! It’s an honor to have a dedicated Limited Edition by this timeless Bomber.”
