Early on the Throwback Thursday or your Flashback Friday...but as we cleared the Valentines Day season, no better time to view and listen to "Heartless". Mr. West's biggest single from his emotional diary of "808's & Heartbreak" album that almost created it's own genre. The artistic cartoon effect that resembles the 80's, Stay On Me, but the current method was called Optiflavor, which used real life movement and was converted to animation. More importantly, the video was directed by Hip Hop's Video Moses, Hype Williams, in 2008. Hype actually paid tribute to Ralph Bashki, as the same animation was used for the video as was Ralph's movie from 1981. That animation used live action footage and then animators drew over top of the video. This became one of Kanye's most popular singles and paved a way for a genre that really didn't have a lane previously. Him and NO I.D were the producers.

Asics Gel Lyte III "Exploration"
The Asics Gel Lyte III runner seems to be as popular as it ever was when it was originally released in the early 90's. New color ways and collabs are showing up every weekend, especially in 2015 as they will be celebrating the GLIII's 25th Anniversary. Here's a general release from last summer in a patriotic, red, white, and light blue blend of suede and mesh. The insole has a radar, map, type of design, hence I'm guessing the "Exploration" nickname. 3M hits at the back and along the stripes on the sides. The white midsole has grey speckling as well.
More pictures after the break...
