So you may have already heard it... but chances are that you haven't, since Hypebeast hasn't blown it up yet. Streetwear/Graphic/Curator extraordinaire and is Staple Design team are linking up with Airwalk in a future collection of footwear to be exclusively sold at Payless shoes. Apparently the deal was for multiple years/seasons and will kick off in Fall '09. Since we are about 300 days away from the official drop, the only thing you have to work with are these few R&D pics. Personally not feeling these first samples, but they have tons of time to get it right. Jeff Staple is truly a trend-setter and putting his "rep" on the line like this solidifies that. MSRP on the Airwalk(R) joints will be around $50.
