words & interview \/\/ Ian Stonebrook:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n If you’re about beats and bars then you won’t find a duo deeper than PRhyme<\/strong>. Teaming up DJ Premier and Royce da 5’9, their formal follow up to the acclaimed Bar Exam<\/em> mixtape series has released to rave reviews. See which kicks the tandem takes to in the latest My 5<\/a><\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n Royce da 5’9:<\/strong> “I got the De La Soul Dunks that just came out. I’ve worn those one time, but I’ve been keeping those kind of under wraps. I’ve got a feeling those are going to be worth something some day, plus I’m a big De La Soul fan.”<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n DJ Premier:<\/strong>\u00a0“Shout out to Jon Wexler over at adidas. I’m not really into this type of sneaker but he told me to put them on because I have wide feet and he told me to give them a shot. As soon as I put them on I’ve been addicted to wearing these. It’s not my style of sneaker, but they feel so good. I just had a knee surgery and had a knee replacement so stairs are really funny. Even on steep stairs these Boosts are incredible. I know the Yeezys have the same cushioning.”<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Royce da 5’9:<\/strong> “I love everything that Sean is doing and I 100% support everything that he’s doing. And I’m not just wearing them because I support him, I’m wearing them because it’s a really dope shoe.”<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n DJ Premier:<\/strong> “Anything New Balance that is 4E wide I’ll rock. I don’t care what color they are, they could be ugly and I’ll still rock them.”<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Royce da 5’9:<\/strong> “Usually when I’m at home I wear the Visvim sneakers. The brown with the fringe on the side is my favorite. I’ve been on them for a while, I was on them a little earlier than everybody else I must say.”<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Royce da 5’9:<\/strong> “I had them on ice for a couple years now, about as long as I’ve been back cool with Marshall. It’s been a few years, that was one of the first things [when we got back] that he gave me. I felt like that was the right time to pull them out and let everybody know that I’ve got a couple missiles sitting around.”<\/span><\/p>\n DJ Premier:<\/strong> “I never wore mine because I wanted to keep them new and keep them as a souvenir.”<\/span><\/p>\nNike SB Dunk High Premium “De La Soul”<\/h2>\n
