Champion Style…

Sunday, May 11th, 2014

The Champion Reverse-Weave sweatshirt is an iconic piece of apparel because it resonated across a broad spectrum of lifestyles. Collegiate kids rocked the reverse-weave emblazoned with a screen print of their university. Kids in the ‘hood rocked the conehead to represent the school of hard knocks.

I’m begging my connect at the brand to seed me with a couple of reverse-weave pieces so I can add those icons to my repertoire.

In the meantime and in between time I have this camo varsity for a cold spring evening.

The Air Jordan 2012 Deluxe is one of the criminally slept on sneakers. Not slept on by myself or you folks who follow this page.

I’m looking out for Champion to return to the podium in 2014. I’ll keep you posted if I see any pieces.

What Is Love?

Saturday, February 22nd, 2014

1991 was one of the greatest years in sneakers for me. Mainly because I had wild bread to spend on kicks and other gear. And also because it was prA’Li the twilight for tennis shoes design and technology. Basketball shoes were so dominant by now and there was no player more dominent than Michael Jordan.

Jordan twisted and tumbled to win his first of a half dozen Association championships wearing the Air Jordan VI. This was the first Jordan that I bought for myself even before he won the title. I copped it because it looked so ill. It wasn’t a sneaker. The Air Jordan VI was a sportscar built for driving thru lanes. It reminds me of a 911 Carrera with the rear spoiler and blown out wheel wells.

The Air Jordan VI will be dropping in several colorways this year, new and classic. I got my mitts on the release called the Infrared 23s. I think I’ll call them my little red Corvettes
