Ricky Powell X PONY Europe

Ricky Powell aka "The Rickster" is a legend in the hip-hop community, his organic and fresh photographs express the golden year's of hip-hop in a very iconic and nostalgic way. Not many photographers are able to boast the same depth in content such as Ricky does with his photography work.


Being the official tour photographer for the Beastie Boys and touring extensively with a number of o.g Def Jam artists such as Run DMC. With that said Ricky recently teamed up with PONY Europe, to work his magic on one of the signature PONY sneakers the Slamdunk Vintage. 

Check out some of his early photos from the 80's below and his shoe.

“My newest sneaker, with PONY... celebrates their 40th Anniversary. I really like the sneaker and they happen to be ‘Animal Friendly… they’re canvas, a thick canvas and that pleases me, a lot.. I’m really looking forward to the jump off with them.”

The shoe is available from September 27th in store over at Foot-patrol, but don't hold me to that.
