Мишка Presents Keep Watch Vol. XXV: Flinch

Мишка is proud to present Keep Watch Vol. XXV, created by Flinch. Adam “Flinch” Glassco is all about throbbing bass sickness backed by intricate, twisted melodies, as heard in his remix of Hussle Club’s “Loose Tights,” and his Keep Watch mixtape is no exception. His infectious, beat-oriented tracks have made him a favorite of heavy-hitters like Skrillex, Designer Drugs, Drop the Lime, Busy P, Skream, and many more names in the dubstep and dance communities, and this 42-minute mix of grinding outer-space electro will definitely show you why.
Flinch has created a twisted blend of favorites like Kastle and RUN DMT (who, besides being talented dance artists, have the best name in existence) and his own uniquely distorted tracks, like the banger “Let Me Go,” a collaboration with Villains. His original work and carefully-selected favorite tracks come together to make an overarching hybrid mix of dubstep filthiness and gritty melodica. The result is a hard-hitting electronic release guaranteed to become a favorite of fans and DJs alike.

Swizz Beatz: Reestyle Collective

Earlier this year Swizz Beatz spearheaded the launch of Reebok’s all-new platform known as the Reestyle Collective. Bringing together Swizz Beatz’s passion for creativity, the Grammy Award-winning artist was given a new medium in hopes of pushing the agenda of creative content. While sneakers were at the forefront of the launch, Swizz Beatz’s influence will result in a manifestation over dance, music art and style thanks to his careful curation. From a product standpoint there stands to be more than just footwear on the horizon, incorporating the sensibilities of Beatz’s own style.

We caught up with Swizz Beatz as he spoke about leading the charge with the Reestyle Collective and what he hopes to achieve with this new undertaking.

Prior to the likes of Jay-Z, 50 Cent and Kanye West, signature shoes were left mostly to athletes. What sort of influence do rappers/music artists offer that athletes don’t? Or what different angles to they have?
Athletes obviously make a lot of sense because they use the shoes for their lives – shoes are like their MPC. Rappers and recording artists are trendsetters and are connected to the people who make trends happen – the people that are fly in the streets, you look at them and say, “I want to be like them, I want to dress like them.” Music artists speak to style, and athletes speak to performance.
Can you talk a little bit about the model you ended up creating? What was its inspiration? Why a high top?
When I first saw the Kamikaze I thought WOW, I need those. The design and the colors were crazy! The Kamikaze is not my signature shoe – I’m working with Reebok to give my creative eye and approach to more than just product. This is a deep partnership.
Do you look into the Reebok archives for inspiration? What was the design process for you like?
I’m inspired by art and music. Growing up in the Bronx, I saw a lot of street art, and I didn’t appreciate it at the time, but I knew we didn’t tag over a Keith Haring. Then I was introduced to Basquiat and Peter Max, I take a lot of my artistic inspiration from them. A couple of years ago I decided not to just invest in art but to invest in myself, and started taking art classes. So art is a huge part of my inspiration. Not to mention the fact that I’ve been wearing Reeboks since I was a kid, so I know how dope Reebok can be.
Among the colorways, you have some more understated ones as well as a really crazy version. What did you have in mind for the colors?
A lot of that comes from Reebok – the collection isn’t about standing back in the corner, they’re for people who want to stand out. I’ve been lucky to design and get some pretty amazing kicks – did you see those metallic snake-skin Kamikaze joints? Now those are sick. But in the fashion and car world we’d call those concept shoes. You know it’s showtime when someone has those on.
Part of your role is to head up the Reestyle Collective, can you tell us a bit more about this project?
The Reestyle Collective is a whole ‘nother project. I’m working with Reebok to enlist a group of mentors to help up-and-coming artists across the globe find their audience. The mentors will be people like me, leaders from the worlds of art, music, fashion, film and design, and they’ll help young people make their own footprints.

Theophilus London x Ronnie Fieg x Sebago Triple Black Penny Loafer

Ronnie Fieg offers a look into a special one-off shoe he created with Theophilus London. Ronnie explains the design process: “A few weeks ago I was in the Dominican Republic working on my Spring 2012 line and Theophilus was in town for a concert. He came through to the Sebago factory in Santa Domingo and we went to work. We wanted the shoe to represent his current state of mind so he played the new single for me and that shit really blew my mind. Theo has a very unique style and it was only right that he would want to work on a classic penny. I was thrilled he did because that style really represents the other side of Sebago, the side that most people don’t know about. This 1 of 1 triple black Classic Penny Loafer is made with Jet-Black 2H rich suede with black Patent leather and the traditional leather sole. So very clean. After we made these joints we rolled to the radio station where homie tore down the building, smh… I wish I caught that on tape. And later that night he performed at some heavenly spot on a rooftop with 350 people in these loafers. The entire trip was epic.”

Christian Louboutin Rollerball Spikes “All Black”
