Ahmir '?uestlove' Thompson, leader of the legendary Roots crew, has teamed up with everybody's favourite sweatshop conglomerate Nike to create shoes that he describes as "an extension of my personality". Looking at these, some critics might argue that he should be sectioned under the Mental Health Act next time he touches down in the UK.

There will be a limited number of these available, which is nothing unusual. What is unusual though, is that each pair will be sold in a sealed box, and ?uestlove has hinted on his blog that there is some kind of Willy Wonka Golden Ticket fuckery associated with the release. Anyway, he wanted his own shoe and he's got one. I'm pleased for him. He's a legend.
