R.I.P. DJ AM

After surviving a nearly fatal airplane crash just about a year ago, DJ AM was found dead in his apartment yesterday. DJ AM, a world renown DJ became a celebrity in his own right and was a devout sneaker-head and enthusiast.

“AM’s passing comes only a short time before he and Nike were finally set to release his own Nike Dunk.
Last night the legendary DJ Premier reflected on DJ AM’s passing, mentioning that he spoke with DJ AM only a day before he passed and that they were both excited to be a part of an upcoming East/West Nike Rivalry Pack. The East/West Rivalry Pack was set to feature a DJ Premier designed Air Force 1 and a DJ AM designed Nike Dunk. According to DJ Premier, the project is still going forward.”
