Memorial DJ Kicks

The DJ AM Sneakers Make Beautiful Music

DJ AM was a world renowned DJ, someone who knew how to get the party going with a couple of club bangers, but I bet you didn’t know that he was a big sneaker fan. He had an epic sneaker collection, and there was a sneaker designed after him, but it was rumored to have been shelved. But the DJ AM sneaker lives.

Featuring a classic colorway of red and black, on the classic silhouette of the Nike Dunk High. Balancing out these bad boys is the light gray swoosh that runs across the shoes. And on the top of the tongue is DJ AM’s logo, so you know you have an authentic pair of DJ AM sneakers.
