“Back in March, Nash Money showed off a pair of Nike Air Force 1s that he had turned into desktop speakers — pretty rad, but hardly flashy enough for a supervillain / rapper. The professional sneaker customizer has significantly stepped up his game after being commissioned by Sneaker Freaker Magazine, creating two pairs of speakers from some giant suede Pumas. Nash consulted MF Doom for the project, and the masked emcee offered up suggestions like “sci-fi and laser guns,” “modern architecture and geometry,” and “mad exclamation marks.” The finished Sneaker Speaker Doomsday Edition (how timely is that?) Models have mic inputs and red, green, and blue lights with eight effects, like speed control and a dim function. They’ve got plenty of power and can can only be fired up by someone with the key — in this case Doom and the magazine, both of whom walked away with a pair.”
