DJ Irie and Creative Recreation have collaborated on an exclusive version of the Milano Hi shoe with 100% of the sales being donated to the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization. An avid basketball fan, DJ Irie took the original Milano Hi and applied his own creative design elements resulting in “The Irie Milano Hi”. The shoe pays homage to his favorite team, the Miami Heat.
The Irie Milano Hi is made from soft full grain leather with patent leather and suede accents. It is diamond perforated and color blocked in the Heat’s core colors – black, burgundy and white. DJ Irie’s block logo is embedded on the inner sole of the shoe. The Irie Milano Hi retails for $250 and will be available at Atrium, Lulu’s and Shoe Gallery starting Monday, December 8th. The Irie Milano Hi is a limited edition shoe with only 200 pairs being made available in the US.
DJ Irie will celebrate the launch of his Milano Hi with a red carpet toy drive and fundraising event. At the event DJ Irie and Creative Recreation will present Big Brothers Big Sisters with a check in the amount of $50,000. The event will take place in Miami at Aerobar on Sunday, December 7th.
A good cause with a solid sneaker coming out of it, which is usually not the case!

A very nice shoe here, working the black and red combination well, as usual. I\’m impressed by the complex mixture of textures, and the very modest gold detail.
Mixture of details is a little too complex in my humble opinion.
These are in the superstar leauge, rock em with Martin Margiela jacket.
THAT SH*T IS FRE$H! HANDS DOWN!
