Swish! Jack Daniel’s & The Shoe Surgeon Unveil EXCLUSIVE Jack-Inspired Air Jordans

Source: Jack Daniel’s Jack Daniel’s & The Shoe Surgeon Debut Jack-Inspired Sneaker Jack Daniel’s continued its winning streak with world-famous sneaker alchemist Dominic “The Shoe Surgeon” Chambrone who put his golden touch on a classic Air Jordan design to create their newest Jack-inspired sneaker. Fans voted for their favorite shoe concept inspired by the craftsmanship and key elements of Jack ( grain, the cave spring, Lynchburg distillery, the barrel, charcoal, honey and bottle design) that make the brand so iconic. And the winner is… the Shoe Surgeonized Air Jordan 4s that showcase the heart of Jack Daniel’s Distillery: the Cave Spring Hollow. We’ll call them Cave Spring 4s (for those fluent in Jordan). “Hearing the peaceful sound of the clear water flow inside the cave gave me instant inspiration”, said Chambrone (who you may remember from our fun-filled Complexcon Chicago adventure ). “We wanted to really capture those elements with the shoe by giving them a limestone slate which complements the water-like see through sole.” View this post on Instagram The @jackdaniels_us & @jackhoney_us 7: Grain, Cavespring, Distilled, Charcoal, Barrel, Honey, & Bottle. See them in-person tomorrow at #ComplexCon. #21+ A post shared by Dominic Ciambrone (@theshoesurgeon) on Jul 19, 2019 at 5:59pm PDT Interested in possibly winning a pair?

Summer Walker hit Drake with a “Thanks lol” and that makes me like the album more. pic.twitter.com/hyOGDwRccH — Virginia’s Very Own (@Dxrryl2Times) October 6, 2019 Drake DMs Summer Walker, Gets Embarrassed It’s so easy to laugh at lovable Rap dweeb Drake who took a break from making hits to slide into Summer Walker ‘s DMs and gush over her smash debut album “Over It.” Naturally, Summer shared the thirsty DM splattered with emojis, nauseating praise and Drizzy admitting that she inspired him to write two new songs. Her response? “lol thanks” in an awwwkward moment that sent social media into a frenzy. Now, to be fair, we doubt she was being shady even though her reply came off as a classic dry curve used by most women to shut down unwanted thirst on social media.
