DJ AM’s Nike Shoe Line Postponed
Prior to his untimely death earlier this month, DJ AM and Nike were talking about their plans to release DJ AM x Nike kicks, as he tweeted back in June:
“This is one of the most amazing moments. I just HELD the sample of MY OWN NIKE DUNK! I never dreamed this would happen. Wow, THANK YOU GOD!”
DJ AM was a sneaker collector, owning over 700 pairs of kicks, and he was very excited about the Nike deal. Today TMZ reported that the DJ AM x Nike sneakers will not be hitting the markets any time soon, although the late dj has already signed an endorsement deal with the sports brand. The contract is reported to be put on hold after his death. Reps of Nike confirmed that DJ AM had been working with them for months to release a limited edition line of Nike Dunks emblazoned with his own logo.
The shoe designed was already approved by DJ AM, however Nike is postponing them due to the fact that the contract-related matters is still being determined by the company and DJ AM’s family.
