Originally a graffiti artist hailing from Brooklyn, that spirit of early hip-hop rebellion has been channeled/co-oped by Reebok in a line of kicks and apparel, but at the height of his success, Basquiat was better known for working in Armani suits — a status symbol of the 80s if there ever was one — often emerging in public with paint splattered all over them. Here are a few pointers on how you too can achieve that gentlemanly, laid-back art school dropout look.

In the fall, Reebok will release a tribute sneaker to Jean-Michel Basquiat, the NYC street artist popularized in the 90s.  You can already get the blue ones on Colette. Keep your eyes open for these sick high-tops!
