DJ Sneaks #6 Heir Max - On+On Launch party mix

Time for the latest DJ Sneaks and who better to bring the Easter weekend in in style than our good friend and sneaker fiend DJ Heir Max. Heir Max aka Johnny Clash has been on the cards for his first DJ Sneaks mix for quite some time now. A true purveyor of kicks and man of impeccable taste in my opinion, Heir Max has most definitely paid his dues on the London club scene with Robin and Myself first hooking up with him many years back during the late days of London's Trash parties and the beginning of the Durrr years (I also blame him for our addiction to the End clubs endless supply of Coffee tequila).



Also, a mix on the opening of the epic weekend ahead times in perfectly with the launch of Heir Max's new regular party On+On this Friday. On+On is the brain child of Heir Max and his delightful other half Daisy Clash. Their first party venture together and Heir Max's first project away from his regular Playdoh/Sweatshop crew and his DJ duo "Big Shadow Step". We are honoured to be joining the line up this Friday for On+On at Catch on Kingsland road and as well as Heir Max gracing the plates for the evening Johnny and Daisy have also invited a very special secret guest down for the headline slot......no hints, but it will definitely be worth the trip down to Kingsland road.

Heir Max's Kicks. As mentioned earlier, Johnny is a true purveyor if fine sports based footwear so choosing to days subject was always going to be hard (This boy has a serious amount of fresh kicks). But after much deliberation and because i am desperate to own a pair myself we have gone with his re release pair of the legendary trainer, The Jordan IIIs.
Possibly my favorite pair of kicks ever, the Jordan IIIs are known for their comfort and definitely score high on the style points. Designed by Tinker Hatfield and first released in 1988 the Jordan IIIs were the first Jordan to feature the "Jumpman" logo and when first released was not one of Nikes biggest sellers. Later re releases combining the shoes marketing with the Spike Lee film "She's Gotta Have it" with the IIIs famously being donned by Spike's character in the film Mars Blackmon as well as endorsement from rap stars including Big Daddy Kane shot the shoe in to the history books.

And of course Michael wore them too, notably in one of the most famous images of Michael Jordan ever, mid air during the 1988 all stars dunk contest which he of course won. The IIIs are said to be
MJs favorite release ever in the Jordan series.




Heir Max's mix. Some true disco kicking off this perfectly mixed selection building things up to an energetic house tip later on and in true Heir Max style dusting things off with some rowdy techno. Some big ones in there from over the past few years and its riotous end really brings back some messy End club memories. Crack this one on the generic Mp3 player as soon as you can and get things shaking in preparation for the 4 day onslaught ahead.
