Franky's Mix.
We posted Franky's previous mix early last month and mentioned he's been busy in the studio cave recently. Well it seems he has very been busy, with more original tracks in the pipeline as well as this most recent mix on the download at the bottom of the post containing a number of Franky Re edits to keep things rolling. Serious props going out to him for this mix, opening up in a typically smooth Franky Redente style and splicing continuously between silky house numbers and tasty Chicago jacked kicks.
Franky's Sneaks.
Turns out Franky is a true Nike Dunk lover (about time we had some serious foot ware on here) and has been a dunk lover since first seeing Michael Jordan in the original Air Jordan 1s (designed by Peter Moore for Nike in 1985) as wee lad back in Italy in 1989.
"As a kid I thought that waring a pair would actually make me fly like Jordan"
The dunk as we still know it today was a "Design improvement" on the original Jordan's and was also introduced in 1985 in a number of US college basketball team colours. Available in both hi top and low the dunk was specifically designed for the basketball court with a lower and lighter outer sole.
Franky mentions that in Napoli, close to where he grew up it was really difficult to get hold of them at the time and all imports were in to big a size so his persistent nagging for a pair almost drove his Dad insane and his obsession with the dunk has stuck with him.
"The best thing about the shoe is that they are straight up basic, pure 1980s designs. Simple is genius they say and they carry so much history with them".
Franky's pair in the pic above are his own Nike ID Dunk Low design keeping things nice and simple on the colour scheme and as he states "signed with his nickname just in case he forgets it".
Make sure you check out and download Franky Redente's March mix on the below Soundcloud player. Also, check out this link ( http://www.nike.com/jumpman23/historyofflight/ ) sent through by Franky with his mix. One of the coolest looking web pages I've seen in a while that takes you through the whole Air Jordan history in a simple and effective way.
