Nike Huarache City Pack (London, Berlin, Paris, Milan)
Europe’s been holding down the Nike Air Huarache retros well before the silhouette finally sparked some interest stateside last year. Maybe that’s why major cities like New York City and Shanghai, regulars in these City-specific affairs, are missing from the latest Huarache City Pack. The spots that are featured – Berlin, London, Paris, and Milan – all flawlessly blend a two-color combination atop Tinker Hatfield’s 1991 creation while a translucent heel support adds a nice spin on things. We don’t have an official release date pinned down just yet, but you can look for these pairs to start arriving at international retailers later this May. Check out more of Nike’s latest Huarache City Pack after the break and let us know which colorway you’re feeling by taking your thoughts to the comments section.

Outraged Petitioners Demand Kanye West’s Removal From Festival
Remember back in 2008 when British music fans (including the perpetually grouchy Noel Gallagher) got their knickers in a bunch because Jay Z was headlining Glastonbury? There was an outcry over Jay being the first rapper to headline Glastonbury, apparently because he wasn’t “rock” enough to handle the top slot on the bill.
Well, it’s 2008 all over again. Glastonbury booked Kanye West to headline the festival’s Saturday lineup, and fans are already demanding that Yeezus be dumped from the lineup.
According to a Change.org petition signed by more than 21,000 people (as of Tuesday afternoon), it’s because “Kanye West is an insult to music fans all over the world” and not “deserving.”
Why isn’t Kanye good enough for Glastonbury? The reason, of course, is rock elitism. “Cancel Kanye West’s slot and get a rock band,” the petition demands, adding, “We spend hundreds of pounds to attend glasto, and by doing so, expect a certain level of entertainment.” For the record, Foo Fighters are headlining Friday night’s Glastonbury lineup.
Kanye West Hand-Delivered Autographed Yeezy Boost To Fans
Kanye’s at it again. After surprising customers at the adidas Performance store in SoHo during the February 14th release, Kanye West showed up at the adidas Originals store in London to not only hand-deliver the Yeezy Boost shoes, but to autograph pairs for the eager buyers. Gotta hand it to ‘Ye, who has been putting in work to build excitement not only around the adidas Yeezy, but for the brand as a whole! Did you cop the new Yeezy sneakers yet?

In brief:
- If he’d done fine art, he wanted to be ‘Picasso or greater’
- He considers The Matrix ‘the Bible of the post-information age’
- ‘Time is the only luxury’
- He thinks the Nobel Peace Prize should be covered ‘like the Grammys’
- Division by class and elitism is today’s biggest problem
