Sneaker News Volume Three: DJ Khaled

MAJOR KEY ALERT! DJ Khaled is on the cover of Sneaker News Volume Three and it’s epic! A few months ago I had the privilege of helping Yu-Ming style Khaled for the cover of Volume 3. The shoot took place in a studio in Los Angeles. My big sis Minya aka Miss Info did the cover story, it’s a family affair! It was really fun since Khaled is hilarious (exactly like his Snapchat) and his team was really nice to work with. I also did a sneaker style feature on my friend Karen Civil, if you don’t know her, now you do! She’s fabo! I’ll be sharing some behind-the-scenes shots later this week, stay tuned.

“When we thought about who we wanted to grace the next volume of Sneaker News, we all unanimously said DJ Khaled, said Sneaker News Principle Yu-Ming Wu. “There is no other person or enterprise driving youth culture with the force that Khaled is today.”

Sneaker News Volume 3 will be launching globally Wednesday, March 30 for $12 US. This coveted issue will be carried by everyone on the forefront of culture, from the most respected art-book stores like McNally Jackson to major retailers like Barnes & Noble, high-end boutiques like KITH NYC, Kinokuniya NY, Extra Butter, Concept and Bait, as well as on sneakernews.com. CONGRATS AGAIN, SNEAKER NEWS TEAM!

“Every day, I work hard and definitely one of my dreams is, and my goal is, to have a Khaled Jordan one day,” says Khaled. He continues, “I already got the design in my head, it’s gonna be the biggest Jordan….”
