Hanni El Khatib is both an accomplished designer (he’s the brand director of HUF) and a tenured musician (he’s the co-owner of indie label Innovative Leisure, with five studio albums under his belt). Khatib’s world is amorphous, ever-evolving and changing, but one thing that’s always been a constant is his love for sneakers.
Sneakers have been a driving force in Khatib’s life since he was a kid, skateboarding across the Bay Area in Air Jordan 1s. As he grew older and learned more about skateboarding, hip-hop and basketball he gravitated towards
Nike‘s Air Zoom Flight 95, a bug-eyed basketball shoe commonly associated with Jason Kidd and centered around the carbon fiber ovals on its midsole. Even later in life as the creative director of HUF, Khatib had the privilege of working with the late, great Keith Hufnagel on several legendary collaborations with Nike, adidas, Vans and more.

Lionel Boy has shared his new single Flower Girl .
Now based in Long Beach, Lionel Boy s immersive approach to his musicality remains tethered to his island upbringing.
There s a sense of quiet isolation in his work, one in which indie pop, soul, and electronics are all allowed to intermingle.
With his debut Who Is Dovey EP earning warm reviews last year, Lionel Boy returns with something new for fans, just as Spring begins to bloom.
Out now via Innovative Leisure, it s a woozy guitar pop jammer, one that recalls Mac DeMarco in its hallucinogenic warmth while retaining a lingering soulful edge.
