?uestlove to hock Nikes
First it was clothes, then coffee and mugs, now ?uestlove, the groove machine for The Roots, has released his own line of Nike sneakers.
I know I’m not the target demo for these shoes, but I think they are simply hideous. People even camped out in Philly to get their hands on them. *sigh*

I think an important thing to realize about these and Questlove is that he really doesnt cater to drummers at all. Drummers like him of course but hes a Hip Hop head first and foremost and thats the culture hes deep deep deep into. And to that culture its kind of been a trend of the past 5 years or so that the fashion is “purposely” getting very falmboyant and border line tacky. Hes not marketing these as “The First Drummers to have his own Air Force Ones!” Its marketed to Hip Hop heads and Sneaker Heads alike. So i would absoltely not catagorze this in the same arena as Charlie Benante coffee. Questlove is his own beast.
