DJ CLARK KENT

For all you hardcore sneaker or Jay-Z fans you will well and truly know who Clark Kent is. CK is one of the industry's hottest music producers and DJ superstars. Having worked with the likes of The Notorious B.I.G., Rakim, Slick Rick and The Fugees, he is credited for breaking Jay-Z into the music industry – now that is a Spader!

Clark Kent is also a shoe designer and collector - the man has a reputation for owning one of the biggest and best Air Force one collections in the sneaker industry. With such a legendary reputation it was only right that the Spader team sat down and talked music + fashion before Clark Kent jumped into a shoe box and turned into the Sneaker Superman.
