On July 26, 2007, Nike will unveil its first limited-edition retro sneaker designed in collaboration with a female designer. Think of it as the Susan B. Anthony dollar of our generation. Graffiti artist and designer Claw Money, whose "PMS" tag in the East Village we enjoy seeing on those rare occasions we leave our house, is the trail-blazer here. (Funny because it's a Nike Blazer, not that we'd respect you for knowing that.) We entreat you not to spoil this moment by wondering what took them so long, how many dozens or hundreds of male graffiti artist/DJ/designers were awarded this distinction before Claw; it took us time to gain suffrage too. Just remember: Nike was the name of a Goddess. And one day the Universe, too, will come back into alignment.
