Earlier you saw the fragment design x Nike Zoom Meriwether that came with a navy and light grey color scheme, but this time you can see it in an impressive black color combination.

“I always wanted to be a weatherman when I was growing up. I like natural disasters, so they made a very nice shoe around that theme.” – Kevin Durant

One day after Kevin Durant confirmed the release date of the highly anticipated “Nerf” Nike Zoom KD IV, we spot him rocking the “Weatherman” Nike Zoom KD IV for the first time in public (Twitter) eye. If you recall, Kevin Durant stated that the “Weatherman” KD IVs are “better than the “Nerfs” in our interview with him in Dallas. From what we can see, the “Weatherman” Nike Zoom KD IVs feature a mainly green upper with minimal orange hints throughout the base. A unique graphic, reminiscent of the weather schemes you would see on a Doppler radar, surrounds the Swoosh on the lateral side and also appears on the translucent outsole. What are your preliminary thoughts on this shoe?

When it comes to kicks, Scottie does know. The breakthrough single “Day ‘N’ Nite” helped Kid Cudi make it in the music biz and make it in America, bending genres and creating a sound. So-Me of Justice and Kanye fame directed the clip adding the pop art visuals he’d be known for. Cudi’s visual game was Complex like the magazine, rocking his trademark look of leather jacket and Air Jordan 3 sneakers.

Hooping in Jordans, skating in Vans, and sporting kicks that start convos with chicks, Levi Maestro has it covered on all fronts. The well traveled and well documented man that knows plenty and knows everyone keeps a sneaker rotation that’s equally cultured. We caught up with Maestro to hear what he’s rocking these days and found his five to be rather unique. See what the man with the camera has on his feet.

Maestro: The zig-zag joints with the blue leather tongues, yes! I got some at UNDFTD and I also got some at Canvas. I definitely don’t wear the tongues out like I use to [laughs] so you’d never know they were high tops unless I had shorts on. They’re kind of crazy looking and I tend to like either really plain shoes or really crazy shoes.

They say imitation is the highest form of flattery. Well, it must feel pretty good to be the Air Jordan 3. Tinker’s tale of MJ was the first from the Jordan line to feature visible Air, the first to sport a mid top cut, but most importantly, the first to rock cement-toned elephant print. As you can tell, it was not the last. Many brands and models have re-appropriated the circus cement, even to include in-house inspirations. We take a look at ten of the bolder takes on the stamped grey finish.

**NOTE** Exclusive to grey takes on elephant print.

10. Supreme x Nike SB Dunk Low Pro

Supreme x Nike SB Dunk Low Pro

Pre-SB craze, before all-elephant-everything, Supreme played it perfectly on two cement soaked colorways of the Nike SB Dunk Low Pro. The makeups paved the way for countless collabs, skate shoes being worn by non skaters, and the thought of elephant print on a non-Jordan.
