BEHIND THE GLASS w/ BOBBITO @ NIKE ID LAB

I've often walked by the huge frosted doors of the NIKE I-D Lab on Elizabeth St. wide-eyed and curious as to what layeth behind that sandblasted glass reading: "by appointment only." On Friday night those pearly gates were opened by none other than the Sneaker King himself, Bobbito Garica. After the release of his personally- designed gorgeous new Air Force One's in April (you heard it first from me in the feature on Baobab Connections), Nike popped a celebration at the Lab in honor of Bob. I was one of the priveldged 20 guests invited to custom design a pair of personalized Air Force Ones!!! Ch ch check it out!...
