If you\u2019ve been to the city you\u2019ve seen them: wooden construction walls around a building undergoing renovations, repairs, and additions. Those walls, usually painted a deep forest green, tend to bear a spraypainted warning: \u201cPOST NO BILLS.\u201d It\u2019s an alert that often goes unheeded, leading to walls of graffiti, flyers for shows and studio openings, art, and more. It\u2019s hard not to see it as a manifestation of the city\u2019s spirit, too big to be contained and too vibrant to be stifled by a sign. Those pine-green walls are canvases and the city always paints its heart out onto them in some way, shape, or form.<\/p>\n
For LAAMS\u2019s first pair of Forces, they\u2019ve decked the silhouette out in that familiar forest green. The upper\u2019s accents come in a lovely creamy off-white with flecks of sky-blue visible around the Swoosh. The interior sockliner features a collage of gig flyers, graffiti, and more, hidden just out of sight. There\u2019s also a LAAMS logo on the inside of the tongue. Love letters to New York City are a dime a dozen; if you\u2019re looking to win the city\u2019s heart you better write straight from your own. Lucky for LAAMS, their missive is palpably sincere. The city\u2014and all the sneakerheads in it\u2014may have to keep them around.<\/p>\n
