Champion Style…

champion-reverseweave

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.

God Is In The Details…

Happy orthodox Easter Internets! All praises due to Unkut dot com for bringing this website back from the dead again.

Pictured above is a vest I copped in Macy’s on a super sale Saturday for $52 after all my coupon shenanigans. Even tho’ this isn’t one of the Peak models with the detachable hood the shell on this piece is 200x better. Pictures rarely tell you the full story. You have to put a piece of clothing in your hand and on your back to truly understand how well it’s been made.

With that being said I will try to show you some acquisitions that I’m really proud of because they are well made and detailed down. I’m all about my RL pants pickups right about now. These cargos I turned inside out were from the #Str8fLOurishments of PoloG8…

The best detail on these pants is the cinch at the ankle which is inside the hem. The pants are a slim-fit (I should have bought in w44 or w46) for that tapered look which is back in flavor right now. Do you see all the buttons for braces? These are so thigh they don’t need any braces. LOL

These next pants are some joints I was scoping with a laserbeam and I still almost lost them. They are the black version of the Defender pant but with more fiyahverkx added on.

Drawstring waist, cargo side pockets and fancy zip pockets.

Jogger pants style jersey knit ribbing at the ankles.

I just got wind there is a cotton cargo pant similar to this with no Union Jack flag on the side. Let me know if you see them any wear. All my spots appear to be flush out of these and those.

Mostly, sneaker fiends just like to convene and show off their latest acquisitions and rarest heat rocks.

Deadstock Dallas Is Back On The eBay System…

Sunday, March 30th, 2014

I got a letter from my mortgage lender the other day. I opened and read it, it said they were suckers. They wanted my crib for their foreclosures or whatever. Picture me giving a damn I said “Never!”

Dallas Penn’s ‘Fresh 2 Debt’ economic program is much like the economy in the real world in that excessive spending will require a correction. That correction is in the form of me liquidating some of my favorite sneakers and Lifestyle items.

You already know the eBay iD is fancy_pants_gangster.

Repost to celebrate Air Max Day 2014

From deep in the center of the Earth I present to you, the DALLASPENN.COM ‘AIRMAX 1 HEATROX’

a.m.1 heatrox

Back in 1987 Nike began the Air max revolution with the design of these shoes. The Nike Air cushioning technology was now on front street. No longer a whispered mystery, a hole was cut through the sneaker midsole to expose the Air Sole unit for everyone to see.



A super shout goes out to the staff at the Nike Design Studio for helping me to make this series possible. If you want to become part of the movement to design your own sneakers you can visit NIKEID dot com and click the link on the far right for a registration form to the Nike I.D. studios.



What makes the Air Max series so special is the fact that Nike revolutionized sneaker culture from the inside out. By creating shoes that were technically and aesthetically superior to anything available they captured every aspect of the sneaker buying market. Athletes and fly guys had to have these kicks because it would improve their performance in whatever arena they participated in. The Air Max 1 are the beginning of the revolution while the Air Max 360 are the evolution of the revolution. It just goes on and on. ’til the break of dawn.
