When the folks at adidas Remix Underground group approached us about doing our version of the EQT B-Ball, we were super excited about the opportunity to create something extra-ordinary, with the silhouette that we really like in EQT line.

For inspiration, we looked no further than one of Duk-ki’s favorite shoes of all time, Jordan XI Space Jams. If you love that shoe, as many of us do, you don’t need an explanation of where carbon fiber, clear ice sole, and patent leather toe vamp came from.

We didn’t forget to add MAJOR touch to the shoe! We have a metallic gold MAJOR embroidery, as well as speckled midsole, and speckled sock (another Jordan design cue). But before finishing the shoe, we had to pay homage to our home city, the place where we come from - Washington DC. For those of you familiar with the Capitol of the Free World, you will recognize the Metro Map, considered by many as one of the cleanest and most efficient mass transportation systems in the world.

The shoe comes with 3 sets of laces (black, gold, and black w/ carbon fiber print tips), and additional gold sock. The first release is for our DC family only, limited to 30 pairs, no phone orders, and no holds. The doors will open at 10 a.m. on Saturday, February 23rd, and it’s first-come, first-served. Don’t believe the hype about the price either, it’s set at $150!

Look for the announcement about an additional release in late March/early April to coincide with matching New Era 59Fifty & Pillbox fitted release, along with what other stores in the US will be carrying these exclusive MAJOR collab kicks.

Steve Francis stopped by to buy the shoe and get a glimpse of the pillbox fitted.
