Turn on the radio, check your iPod, or stop by the club, and you?re bound to hear a jam or two by Tha Bizness<\/strong>. The multi-platinum, Grammy award-winning team has produced tracks for the likes of Chris Brown (“Strip”, “No BS”), Young Jeezy (?My President?), Drake (“The Winner”), Young Money (?Every Girl?) and many more. We caught up with Dow Jones<\/strong>, one half of the production pair, to hear what he?s rocking on the regular. Check out Dow?s My 5<\/a><\/em> to see what kicks he keeps in his rotation.<\/p>\n

Levis x Air Jordan 1<\/h2>\n

Dow Jones:<\/strong> “These are like the urban survival kit. As a kid, Jordans were always a big influence and of course Levis were dope because they were the first pair of jeans that were durable and lasted. I wore them throughout the Club Paradise Tour<\/em>. When we were at Florida State we had access to the gym, but not our gym clothes, so I hooped in them. A$AP Nast brought his pair too, but he left them at Rupp Arena and lost them. Like me, those are one of his favorite joints. They?re such an ill colorway, with the red and blue denim pattern. I still have the jeans and the shirt from the pack, but I?ve never worn them.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike Air Force Max Black\/Grey<\/h2>\n

Dow Jones:<\/strong> “I got these when they came out, messed them up, and found a dude with an old pair. So far, they?ve been durable, but I try to be gentle with them. This was a favorite of mine growing up because of the Fab Five. They were the first cats to change up the whole swag of college uniforms. From 1992 to 2000, it was a great era for shoes because you had everybody coming up and starting their own movements. I feel for the kids growing up now because the jersey culture was so big then, and it went with the shoes.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Air Jordan 11 “Space Jam”<\/h2>\n

Dow Jones:<\/strong> “These were the first shoes that felt like you were rocking something lavish. When we were younger, we?d wear them to school dances. They?re just a classic. Even the movie was so big and such a moment for Mike in his career. The shoes were put together nicer than any of the other Jordans, and they handled the wear and tear over the years. I had the first retros back in 2000 and also rocked a zebra-mismatch with the ?Concords? during the tour. These have been the best Jordans since I was a kid and just a constant that has stayed in the mix.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike Air Trainer SC II Black\/Grey<\/h2>\n

Dow Jones:<\/strong> “Old school Raiders! I picked up the re-release because Bo Jackson was such an icon growing up. He was a beast in all sports and he did it big. Being a West Coast kid, the Raider Nation was a big thing. I don?t really rock them with the Raiders gear now. I tend to color-up my outfits so they?re not monotone and just embrace the color of life.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike Dunk High Premium “St. Pauli”<\/h2>\n

Dow Jones:<\/strong> “Over the past three years from being on the road, we?ve really got into soccer. It?s like the only video game where you can?t cheat because you really have to know how to play the game to score a goal. Through that, we?ve been getting more familiar with the teams. St. Pauli’s stats aren?t very good [Laughs<\/em>], but how many teams that aren?t very good get their own shoe? A lot of people on the American side complain about soccer because they think it?s soft, but these guys got their own shoes because they?re brawlers. Depending on how you hold them, the skull and cross bones either look black and grey or white and grey. I don?t really wear Dunks any more, but these stood out to me.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Bonus Pair: Tod’s Sport Cassetta Suede High Tops<\/h2>\n

Dow Jones:<\/strong> “To me, every sneakerhead that evolves in their game needs to own a pair of dope Italian sneakers. It?s a whole different feel, like a custom fit baseball glove for your foot, and the grey suede looks crazy. It was funny, because a month after I copped them, Rick Ross put out that skit<\/a> about Tod?s loafers! A lot of the Tod?s shoes look like old man shoes, but every once in a while you?ll come across something you didn?t expect to see.”<\/p>\n
