Nike Barkley Posite Max – Court Purple/Team Orange “Phoenix Suns” | 5/18

2013 has already seen a range of releases from the Nike Barkley Posite Max camp. The latest installment arrives via the form of the Court Purple/Team Orange edition that is aptly touted as the “Phoenix Suns” version. Paying obvious homage to Sir Charles’ tenure playing for the Phoenix Suns, this particular execution was designed under the direction of celebrated Nike Design Director, Marc Dolce. Situated atop an ice blue outsole, the predominantely Court Purple upper sees a juxtaposition of minimal nubuck paneling alongside a croc-like print that is reminiscent of Barkley’s “Godzilla” Commercial. Rounded out with a speckled midsole, Team Orange accents and multi-colored laces, the upcoming Barkley Posite Max will release through Wish on May 18. Retail is set at $235 USD.

Phone orders are accepted by calling 404.880.0402 ext #2.

Email orders are accepted by contacting us at orders@wishatl.com with your size request.

OriginalFake KAWS Companion “Passing Through” Black & Grey Figures

Despite the announcement that they would be shutting down their operations after seven years of successful business, celebrated street artist KAWS and his OriginalFake imprint have been steadily rolling out new Medicom figures throughout 2013. The latest debut arrives in the form of the recognizable “Passing Through” Companion figure. Offered up in two colorways – all-black and tonal grey – each somber character is seen perched with its head in its hands. The “Passing Through” Companion is something that KAWS has frequently returned to, having seen exposure most notably in the ongoing larger Companion statue traveling exhibition as seen in Atlanta’s former, “Down Time” installation.

Both of the characters in black and grey are now available directly from Wish. Orders can be placed by phone order by calling 404.880.0402 ext #2 or via email by sending a request to orders@wishatl.com. Retail is $425 USD.

Spinback Thursdays Recap ft. DJ Dibiase

This Thursday, we had Atlanta’s own DJ Dibiase come through and provide the sounds for our first Spinback Thursdays! Between spinning, we got the chance to catch up with him and ask a few questions. So check out the interview and photos below and get familiar with The Million Dollar DJ:

So how’d you get your start?

I got my start by kinda sneaking into clubs when I was 17 years old and putting myself in the right position with promoters and other DJs and they got me the opportunity to DJ at their events and parties. But even before that I would make mixtapes in highschool and pass them out on the bus or wherever.

Where’s your favorite place to spin in Atlanta?

My favorite spot to spin is where I’ve been for the last 3 years. Whiskey Park in the W Hotel. I do every Friday night there. You got everybody from your local celebrities, your artsy fartsy people, to your Owen Wilsons and Spike Lees all come through, so it’s a fun place to be. You never know what to excpect with it being a hotel.

Who have been the top 3 people you’ve been able to work with so far?

My top 3 in no particular order has to be Trinidad [James] who used to come to my parties when he was younger and we just kinda hooked up from there. I did a screwed and chopped version of his mixtape so that’s how that got popped off. Other than that I’d say DJ Chemist who’s an OG DJ in Atlanta, probably my favorite DJ in Atlanta if not out of all DJs across th world. He’s always showed support. Number three are my partners from this party I do called All Vinyl Everything that we started a year ago.

For a more in depth look at DJ Dibiase, check out his site http://www.themilliondollardj.com/ and pick up the 2nd installment of his #LeisureSuite mixtape here at the store!

History of the Jordan VIII

In honor of the Air Jordan VIII release tomorrow, we wanted to give you some history on this highly anticipated release. Tinker Hatfield wanted the Air Jordan 8 to not feature a Nike sign. He thought the Jordan Brand was strong enough at this point to hold its own. Tinker brought up to Nike that the Jordan line was strong enough to start eliminating the Nike sign at the AJ VI. After Tinker was done telling his story, Nike pretty much laughed in his face.

It took a lot of time, and a lot of convincing to make this happen, but it finally went through. If you look at the Original Air Jordan VIII model you will notice there is no Nike sign.

The Air Jordan VIII started a lot of talk through sneaker heads, basketball players, or people that enjoyed a pair of Nike’s. The design was crazy, the AJ 8 also had a polycarbonate torsion plate, and to top it all off, the color ways blew people away.

Michael Jordan, Bugs Bunny and Marvin the Martian have developed a relationship with many commercials promoting the Air Jordan Original 8 (VIII) in 1993. One pair which was apart of the commercials is the Air Jordan Original 8 (VIII) White / Black – True Red aka Bugs Bunny. The Air Jordan Original VIII (8) Bugs Bunny White / Black – True Red received its nickname not only from the commercials, but the straps. Many have said the straps resemble Bunny ears.


The Air Jordan 8 (VIII) OG Bugs Bunny White / Black – True Red release February 1993 and will be available at Wish this Saturday in store and by phone order only.
