After days of looking through the local malls for a pair of Jordan 18’s, size 8 in the white and varsity red colorway, I found what I was looking for. Of course I had to rock them to school-but I made sure that on the days that I had gym, I left them at home. Of course though, after a long weekend, I forgot that I had gym that day and I wore them to school.

Horseman of Death Nike VandalsBy SneakerFreak on January 17th, 2009 | No Comments
TTK began collaborating with Identity Footwear and Apparel in fall 2007 to create a four pack of custom Nikes based on the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. The designer used the AIDS epidemic as a modern representation of the first horseman, Death. His Horseman of Death Nike Vandals were found at the Nike Talk post linked

The silhouette of five men represents the first reported cases of AIDS in the United States in 1981. TTK drew 1982 to represent the creation of the acronym AIDS by the CDC to explain the disease. At the top of the right sneaker, TTK drew Ronald Reagan along with 1985 to represent the former president’s first mention of AIDS in public.
