Nick Stern - You are not Banksy

 This series of photos by Nick Stern entitled You Are Not Banksy includes eight separate shots of costumed characters posing with carefully placed props against specific backdrops that echo the works of the infamous Banksy. 

Nick Stern states: "It was a lot of work as I wanted to make sure every photo was an accurate representation, but the final results were worth it. For weeks leading up to each of the shoots I scoured Ebay to find props such as Jesus’s ring of thorns and the police helmets and even made some of them, like the RPG, myself. I just hope Banksy likes what I have done."

Some of these prints are now for sale at his online store.

Nike Air Yeezy II - Official Images & Release Date

 

Bringing the inspiration forward from the late 1980's basketball foundation of the original Nike Air Yeezy, the II is built on the Nike Air Tech Challenge II tennis shoe outsole and celebrates iconic Nike Cross Training silhouettes with the addition of the molded forefoot strap.

Concealed but opulent details reference ancient civilizations, including a loop strap with hieroglyphics that spell out 'YZY'. 

The molded rear is sculpted with a reptilian inspired spike, while an engineered strap with scaled down spikes was developed to offer a greater sense of symmetry and lock down.
