R.I.P. DJ AM (Adam Goldstein)

R.I.P. DJ AM (Adam Goldstein)

Earlier today, Adam Goldstein, better known as DJ AM, passed away in his 7th floor New York apartment at approximately 5:20 PM. Though DJ AM was most know for his incredible music skills, he was also an avid sneaker enthusiast as was displayed by our very own Sneaker Tribute to DJ AM (Adam Goldstein) that was showcased almost a year ago. As most can remember, DJ AM and Travis Barker were nearly killed in a plane crash last year, but were both finally returning to their normal lives after making full recoveries. We, the staff at Sneaker Files, would like to convey our sincerest condolences to the Goldstein family and all others affected by the death of a great individual. Rest in peace, Adam. Please share your thoughts, prayers, and memories via the comments section below.

  1. RIP Adam. You will definitely be remembered.

  2. Kong Christian

    He seemed to be a very nice guy.This is very sad news. I know he was quite young.My thoughts and prayers go out to his family,friends,and fans.

  3. He's the reason why I bought the Air Jordan Lightning IVs. I saw a pic of him online with an "Orlando Sucks" shirt on when they played against the Lakers in the Finals. I'm from NY but I am a huge Kobe and Lakers fan and he wore that shirt with the lightning 4s. I had to go out and get them. We've lost a very part of the sneaker community and he will be remembered. RIP.

  4. RIP DJ AM, you will always be remembered my man.

    I don't really care about what happen to him, I'm more concern about what will happen to all his kicks.

    "Cocaine is a hell of a drug"

  30. doesn't matter how he died, show respect. i saw AM with Jay-Z last October in LA, it was his first show back since his plane crash and the energy was through the roof. it is unfortunate to see him gone so young. my thoughts are out to his family and friends. you will be missed.

Rip dj AM, one of the greatest, and if any of his kicks get auctioned off ill cop a pair or too…….and to anyone who wants to say he did it to himself, I want to see you have a near death experance, watch 4 people die, and think to yourself wow that could of been me, and see how you cope with the thought that someone else died when it could have been you, i wanna see any of yous not turn to liqour or a drug for comfort……Hope AM's rockin a pair of zoo york sbs and messin with that crossfader up in heaven…….REST IN PEACE
