Designed by ?uestlove of the Roots, DJ, and producer, the “Air ?uesto” features a mix of Burgundy leather/Red canvas/Green Elephant print and a Gold Swoosh. For an even more personal touch, ?uest added a lasered silhouette of his face at the heel. Each box will be sealed because 25 very lucky purchasers will open their box and find the gold variant.
The shoes will release at:
8/1: Alife in NYC
8/5: Ubiq in Philly
8/6: Nike Sportswear at The Montalban in LA
…and select Nike retailers on August 16th.

“These Air Questo’s right here are an extension of my personality. Kind of all-over-the-place” said ?uest Love. “I just wanted to start off with a very loud statement, a sneaker that sort of has 12 exclamation points behind it. Something that just screams “Rahhhhrr” so you know, this is an extension of my personality. The inside (of the shoe) is of me drumming. Yeah, inside art is very important to me. Even though you’re the only person that sees it from a consumer standpoint but, I sorta know you put a lot of work into it as a designer based on how your shoe is designed on the sole.”
To help promote its release ?uestlove will be DJing at the following spots:
8/1 – ALIFE in NYC
8/5 – UBIQ in Philly
8/7 – Undefeated in LA
