Got some DJ AM memorabilia? Maybe some kicks from the eBay charity auction or a vintage tee or other swag from the "As I AM" Indiegogo campaign? Post up your goods here.
I'll kick it off with a couple items from my personal collection:
AM's 94 Jordan 1's - worn once for his Grammy Red Carpet interviews
DJ AM's De La Soul "3 Feet High & Rising" Platinum Record Plaque
AM's Goyard gig bag. The strap was broken but I was able to get a new one for it in Paris.
AM & Hayley Wood. AM with the Goyard bag & vintage Juice movie tee. More to follow...
Hey!
I just snapped some pics and put together all the shoes I have from AM's collection.
1. This is the first pair of AM's kicks I owned. I purchased it from the eBay auction. It was one of the cheapest pairs I could find that I really liked. I was 14 at the time, so I really couldn't afford much else haha. I haven't been able to find much about the shoe on google, so I don't know if AM cut the swoosh off, or if that's how it was made. Either way, I love this shoe.
2. Bapesta. This was the 2nd pair of AM's shoes I purchased. A couple years after the initial auction, and I started making a little bit of money from DJing, I found these on eBay and I NEEDED them. I love the Bapsta and I haven't seen another pair of AM's Bapesta's listed since.
3. '97 OG Syracuse Dunk. I found this on eBay around the time I found the Bape's. The Dunk/AJ1 is my favorite silhouette, so any time I see one of AM's Dunks or 1's, I try to pick it up. I believe this is the same sneaker featured in the photoshoot where he's covered in shoes.
4. Hurrache - I love the Hurrache silhouette, so I needed to get a pair. I haven't found any pictures of these in his collection.
5. Tan/Pink AF1 - Remember back when hip hop was wearing pink? Haha, these must have been fire at the time.
6. For the Love of the Game AJ1 2 Pack. This is the most recent pair of Adam's shoes I've picked up. I found it on eBay for a great price about a year ago.
7. I wore these all the time in high school. They were my go-to shoe. These and the Yeezy 1/2's are my favorite pair of kicks of ALL TIME. I'm trying to find a DS pair in my size for the right price, so I can display them.
8. Air Max 95 "Kashima Antlers" Pack - This is probably one of the most peculiar pairs of AM's shoes I own. I got these from Lara around 2010/2011 and didn't hear much about them. Weirdly, they're a size 10.5. For the longest, I believed these were in the bottom left of the following pic, but I'm not sure if the timelines line up. From what I can find, these dropped between 2004 and 2006.
9. Haze Dunk - I got these from Lara, so like the 95's I don't have a CoA or any supporting docs for them. From what I can track down, these were the pair AM wore when he threw out the first pitch of the Mets game on August 25, 2009. It's incredibly hard to tell forsure. I also believe I have the pants he wore on that day, which I also got from Lara. I can't find any branding from the pics, but the fit is awfully similar. They're Dior jeans.
Hey all!
Just found out about this awesome website from K-Scott on Facebook and I wanted to throw a set of pics up quick! I discovered AM when I was a teenager and I became a huuuuuuuge fan. He inspired me to DJ, as I'm sure a lot of other people were by him. About 6 years ago I "retired" from DJing because I joined the military, but over the last year I have been itching to get involved again.
A little backstory on my collection... Some of the items I purchased from the sneaker auction, some I purchased through other retailers, but most of my collection comes directly from Lara Long, Adam's sister. She ran a vintage website and eBay store called Plaid Pony Vintage, which I followed. Some time in 2010/2011, Lara was diagnosed with cancer. I remember seeing some clothes pop up on her eBay that looked an awful lot like AM's, so I asked her. From what I remember and can gather from emails between me and her, she was auctioning off a bunch of his clothes to help her pay for treatment. She didn't promote the clothes as belonging to "DJ AM," and the only reason I learned they were his is because I asked.
I'm a little busy packing my things up for college, so I'll be making multiple posts over the next week with what I can find, as I have the time.
1. DJ AM Mixer Tee by The Fast Life. Really not sure on the backstory about this because I bought it so long ago. If someone knows, feel free to chime in. I believe it was a promotional/charity shirt around the time his record collection was sold.
2. DJ AM Airbrush Tee. I remember finding this tee on google. Some guy had a store where he sold airbrushed tee's featuring a bunch of different musicians. I thought it looked dope, so I bought it.
