We would like to send out our condolences to the family and friends of DJ AM (Adam Goldstein). Early this evening at around 5:30pm DJ AM was found dead in his Lafayette Street apartment in New York City. After not being heard from for a few days and not answering calls or knocks at his door a friend of DJ AM called the police who broke down the door at his apartment and found DJ AM dead. At this time nothing has been confirmed by the police or by the corners office but reports have hit the web that drug paraphernalia was found on the scene. This does not mean that DJ AM’s body was anywhere near the drug paraphernalia when the cops found him, so lets just keep that in mind and hope that we can rule out a drug overdose here.

DJ AM, the celebrity DJ who was heavy into the sneaker industry will defiantly be missed by us here at Sneaker Obsession and by fans and sneakerheads all over the world. DJ AM had a serious sneaker collection and a passion for Air Jordans and Nike Dunks. He was even in the works on designing his own signature Nike Dunks. Its a shame how things turn out sometimes, escapes what could of been a deadly plane crash to turn up like this a few months later.

To the friends of DJ AM and his family, our prayers go out to you during these hard and tragic times. Travis Barker, a dear and close friend to DJ AM, keep your head up bro. Nike, lets make those DJ AM Nike Dunks happen in honor of Adam, one of the biggest Nike Dunk fanatics to walk the surface.
