“Back before I injured my hip, I thought going to the gym was for wimps.” -Bo Jackson

I’m using the Internets Celebrities FIT club movement to get my ass back into a gym to start sweating. I’m also taking the opportunity to copp some more ‘gym’ shoes. Nike pushed the level up a notch when they first introduced the cross-trainer shoes marketed by BO JACKSON.

Cross-trainers had been popular, but ultimately faggy shoes that were fine for low impact workouts and jazz-ersizing, but not strong enough for rigorous workouts. The Air Trainer SC was the godfather of the ‘all sports’ shoes. Nike properly re-visioned their classic with the Air Trainer SC 2010.

You see the Flywire supports on the breathable mesh upper so you know the shoe will provide the stability you need. The inner collar looks to still be comfortable enough to tie these shoes up nice and tight.

I like how Nike has incorporated an air max bubble in the heel larger than the previous SC models.

I don’t know where to copp these in person, but then again, isn’t this is what SFU-NYC tours are for?

I just realized that there hasn’t been a Black quarterback who has won a Super Bowl since Doug Williams did it!?

Maybe Rush Limbaugh is right? Blacks might not be built for this position [ll].

And how good was Doug Williams?!?

Enter the Wu-Tang Slipper…

^ One of the most sonically influential albums in rap history…

The discussion we had the other day regarding sampling was official. RZA may have been the last producer to go mainstream with densely layered sample production. The music industry may need to look inward to their lawyers who stymied sound development and production as the ones who killed the music business.

As for this Wu-Tang chinese slipper…

I’ma need to copp the Game of Death tracksuit to match up hardbody. Kill me if I do.

1980s

For one sunny afternoon NYC recalled the bad ol’ days of yore and lore as nattily dressed Black and brown youths patrolled Herald Square and Times Square. #iHipHop
