SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

My homey Premium Pete hit me up on the TWitters and told me to check the PremiumLacesNY site for a look at the newly released Quickstrike Nike SB Dunk Hi. These joints have been nicknamed the ‘Boom’. Normally, Nike has me locked from the word Dunk. SB Quickstrikes? I’m gonna have to get familiar with these joints.

The ‘Boom’ are on some superhero shit just like the adidas Star Wars pack was on some faux sci-fi fanboy shit. C’mon Nike SB?!? This can’t be the best y’all can do? No self respecting superhero is going out like this. No suede? No patined leather?

Sorry Nike SB, and you know I ride out for the Dunk shoe hardbody, but as the representative for sneaker collecting superhero fanboys all across the internets I’m gonna have to pass on these joints.

The ‘Boom’ reminds me more of Kaboom (read: clown shoes)

“Kaboom! Guess who stepped in the room?”

Tell Everybody That You Know…

This is still one of the best songs of the new millenium…

When this joint first dropped I wanted to make an official tissue music video. I pictured that the vid opened with KanYe running through the woods in a t-shirt and jeans. His shirt was bloody and ripped.

The scene then flashes back to beforehand where we see KanYe and a large group of people (hangers-on, critics, but def not ‘friends’) drinking champagne in a snow covered cabin. KanYe smiles but you can see its forced and dude is pained. KanYe walks to the door and locks it definitively. Then he takes an axe off the wall.

Next scene is Lil’ Wang and he is in the cabin as well. He nods to KanYe then he smashes a bottle of champagne on the floor. We see the spilled champagne morph into blood. Wang sings his verses in cabin which is now totally blood splattered. Wang spreads gasoline around the cabin like he is wildin’ out. Wang throws a match in the cabin as he exits.

We see Wang running through the woods and looking back at the disintegrating, flaming [ll] cabin.

Wang makes it to a clearing where a waiting SUV is running and in the cold dark night he changes his t-shirt and hops in the passenger seat. KanYe drives off. End scene.

Maybe my vision is too hardbody?

Living The Dream…

lm

You have seen the initials LM in the DP.comments threads from time to time. LM has been one of the site’s biggest supporters in word and deed. LM constantly encourages me to maintain my writing pace and then routinely pays the annual bandwidth fees and domain registration fees.

I was truly honored to be invited to his wedding this weekend. LM is a product of the dream that Martin Luther King Jr. had envisioned. MLK Jr. saw a world where people weren’t judged by their race but by the “content of their character”. The content of this drop is a tribute to LM’s character.

LM’s beautiful bride brought out the sun on Saturday.

I wish them the best in this life and I’m happy to have them in my cipher. They show me the promise that MLK Jr. struggled to achieve is still in effect. They are still believeing. They are living the dream.

THE NEW CLASSICS…

In a few weeks the US Olympics team will be in Vancouver going for the gold in the Winter Olympiad. Polo Ralph Lauren will be outfitting the US athletes in some dope lifestyle I.T.’s while Polo drops some pieces that commemorate the past Olympiads and winter sports.

I might have to pull out one of my vintage slalom ski sweaters with the full length arm pads or I could just come up on this crisp hoody. I think it has a USA spell out on the backside too.

WHOA! This Lake Placid hoody is murderous material. Every season Polo releases a piece that is heirloom collector quality. This is one of those I.T.’s.

Seeing that hoody on your computer doesn’t do it the proper justice. You need to peep that joint in person.

This is the one winter piece I am most excited for because I have the matching sweater in my archives.
