MaZe BLOG: Art Show at SOLE FOOD
Jul 13, 2009 | Comments 4
Over the weekend I hit SOLE FOOD, a sneaker store/art gallery spot in downtown NYC, to check out an art show that featured a couple of pieces done by my boy iZ. I first met iZ about 3 years ago when I used to chill at the 255 NIKEiD Studio. At that time he was a design consultant at the studio. We became closer friends about a year later when I wrote for jeffstaple and the Nike Recess Federation. I created a weekly "Sneaker of the Week" post and he won most of them. His vintage Nike Basketball heat killed it. Fast forward to now and iZ a head design consultant at Nike BeSpoke at 21 Mercer Street.
When he's not helping to chef up BeSpokes, iZ produces quality art. The show at SOLE FOOD featured a couple of his pieces including the "Dream Sequence", "Koi Fish and a Phoenix", "DJCK" (a piece inspired by our boy DJ Clark Kent), and a piece inspired by Nico at Staple Design. The show also features pieces from Amanda Dive, Jayson Atienza, and Pesu. Before I left, iZ got up on a live painting as well.
The show was nice, the atmosphere was real intimate, and I had a good time. Shout out to iZ!

Now, his collection tallies somewhere near 500 pairs and includes everything from GRs, to QSs, to TZs, to 1 of 1s, to PEs, to Friends and Familys, and anything, and everything in between. His favorite sneaker of all time is the Air Jordan VIII. Beyond loving the physical sneaker, MaZe loves the culture behind it. When MaZe is not in front of the PC working on KATC, he's probably copping kix and making moves.
