A$AP ROCKY GIVES NEW MUSIC UPDATES IN A RECENT ‘DESUS & MERO’ INTERVIEW
Opening up he also reflects on his 2019 Stockholm arrest.
A$AP Rocky has given fans a small glimpse of what to expect for his new music in his latest interview with Desus & Mero.
The artist jumps right in to discuss his forthcoming album, All Smiles. Rocky reveals that he has been working hard at the album sharing, “I kinda been in the zone. Just, like, trying to isolate from everything, to try and stay focused and try not to be too influenced by everything but still keep my eye on what’s going on and stuff. I have just been low-key.” The artist also dives into how finds a unique sound with each of his albums later stating, “We really trying to just find what’s new, what’s fresh and stay on the forefront.”
Later on in the interview, A$AP reflects on his highly publicised Stockholm arrest in 2019 and was even able to make a couple of jokes about the experience. He said, “Not for nothing, that shit was just, it was a little scary because I wasn’t familiar with that country. Then, their rules is different. No bail system, none of that stuff. That shit was trash. For what it’s worth, though, the IKEA furniture was nice in there.”
“Move to Zero” is Nike’s new trainer range consisting of their most sustainable shoes to date. Produced by eco-friendly materials, such as recycled cork from the wine industry or bark that’s produced in a way that isn’t harmful to the tree, each pair are 20% recycled materials.
The soles of the trainers are an outcome of the Plant Cork Pack, a process that infused the cork into the rubber sole. This product release marks Nike’s air to become ‘zero carbon and zero waste’.
The collection includes both new and updated trainer designs; you can purchase the beloved Air Force 1 or Blazer Mild and Air Max alongside a new silhouette, Nike Crate Impact. Their Air VaporMax 2021 is one of their ‘most sustainable shoes to date’ as it’s produced by over 50% recycled resources.
The capsule is inspired by ‘the natural world’ but it isn’t just the sole’s that are eco-friendly, ‘Each shoe is dedicated to a plant we love and brought to life through embroidered botanical designs, scientific infographics and dye sourced from the plant itself.’ Dohnn Ball, on the Plant Cork Pack team, revealed further the inspiration behind the trainer designs, saying, ‘On each shoe we are highlighting a plant, and whatever colour that plant is processed into is the accent colour on that shoe”.
