There’s no Freegums sequel in the works as best we can tell, but LeBron James’ MIA retail spot will indeed play host to a sneaker collaboration’s debut again this December. This time, it’s the heel-zipped, kiltie-tassled chukka from Ibn Jasper and Diamond Supply Co., dipped in white as part of the FW12 ‘Miami’ capsule for UNKNWN in conjunction with this year’s Art Basel gathering. Just 75 pairs were made with 50 to launch online Saturday at Noon with the other 25 at UNKNWN Miami at 2pm, and you can see more shots after the jump below.

Best known as the member of Kanye West’s entourage responsible for keeping the G.O.O.D. Music magnate’s hair looking fresh, Ibn Jasper has managed something Mr. West could never seem to do with his Nike Sportswear collabos: keeping a low profile. Jasper’s teamup with LA’s Diamond Supply Co. first surfaced back in spring, and after nary a preview in between, we’re met today with release info for this weekend’s drop. The Diamond Jasper is an ankle-laced, heel-zipped, kiltie-tasseled chukka sneaker in grey, turquoise, black and red snake-embossed suedes, the first two of which will arrive this Saturday, October 20th exclusively at DMND’s Fairfax flagship with the black and reds to follow the next day exclusively at RSVP Gallery in Chicago. All four will also be available online on the 20th, and can be seen in greater detail in more images below.

Looking for a way to measure how popular Kanye West is right now? This is by no means a scientific measure, but when your personal stylist and barber is in turn sufficiently noteworthy so as to position himself for a collaboration with a burgeoning sneaker brand, suffice to say the rich getting richer has indeed trickled down. Ibn Jasper of Kanye entourage fame has to this point been responsible for a crazy Nike SB Trainer II, but with that pair never making retail, it’s likely that he’ll go down in history for this new collab with Diamond Supply Co. on an ankle-laced chukka that bears his own name along with a texture familiar to those who’ve been following the Air Yeezy 2 buildup.
