SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2012

KixPo was all of that and a pair of deadstock Foamposites. I was so hype from this trip that as soon as I touched down in NYC I had to copp the yellow Foamposites.

There was no way I was going to get my sneakergame up to the professional level that some of these folks were holding, but gosh darn it I’m def gonna try. I’m talking about ridiculous amount of heat and fireworks. These cats HAVE to still be living in their mom’s basements to afford all this shit.

Everything is bigger in Texas [ll] and that means the hospitality from the event promoters as well. As a part of the DuckDown entourage we were shuttled to and from the ginormous Cowboys Stadium (which looked like a spaceship that had landed) to the hotel. The overall experience guaranteed my return for next year’s KixPo.

Let’s also agree that Sean Price should have his own television show where he uses his slanguage to describe the world around him. Sean is a brilliant wordsmith which has led to him being a favorite emcee, but his personality is too engaging for just rap alone. Enjoy these clips Internets. #SneakerFiendsUnite

speed racer

Here’s the part of our program where you were in the right place at the right time.

I have two(2) DVD’s of the Wachowski brother’s feature film ‘Speed Racer’ to give to the first two DP.commenters on this thread. I fuxed with the film in theatres a couple of times. I liked it that much. I think you will too especially if you ever watched the classic cartoon.

Go Speed Racer, goooooooo!

Outfit Architecture…

Tuesday, August 7th, 2012

I’ve been waiting to post this ‘Fit but I had to make sure my footings were rock solid first. This outfit was being built ever since I visited mom dukes in the ‘A’ way back in the spring. I didn’t copp any of the components back then but I started up my aspirations.

The electrolime Foamposites were released that weekend and I couldn’t get my hands on them. The dude from FootLocker who always sends me e-mails to post his press releases on my site wouldn’t reply to me. Atlanta sneaker shops carrying the Foamposites are so few and far between that I couldn’t make a connect. I was stuck, but still I had my aspirations.

RLX been on some shit since 2010 but I haven’t embraced the designs since I didn’t think I could make the transition in my life to getting back into ‘athletically aspirational apparel’. LOL. The kid been strictly casual, but I was wanting to be motivated to get fit.

I decided to get this ‘Fit starting with the Foams (which incidentally were the last I.T. copped).

The shorts are blue label from the Modern Explorer series. Marshall’s had these early in the spring for $40 and I opted not to wait on these to hit the clearance markdown. They wouldn’t have made it there. The tee is from an assist from the homey Krash One who told me not to fux with UniQlo since I wouldn’t be able to squeeze into their shit anyhoo.

Good looks Krash, Hail Meg.

The jacket is similar to the Whitewater series ‘Yosemite’ windbreaker we featured on this page previously.

The jacket’s technical superiority is unmatched. Bloomingdale’s pricepoints for these RLX pieces was unfuxwittable.

My favorite I.T. within this ‘Fit was the lining layer sweatshirt. It’s made with a sick soft brushed cotton and all kinds of strings and pulleys to keep me busy.

Bloomingdale’s dropped the price down to $35 so you already know the kid was copping one to rock, and one to stock in the dP Lifestyle Archive.

Lastly, shouts to the people at Poleberg.com for gifting me this custom licensed New Era fitted. The cap is made from this tightwoven canvas which is lighter than the wool caps and even water-resistant. Perfect for a rainy autumn afternoon.

This is how I does my lifestyle hardbody. Thanks for tuning in Internets.

DP Does Dallas…

Tuesday, July 31st, 2012

Sean P got me up in his entourage for this weekend to film video of he and Guilty Simpson at the KixPo sneaker and streetwear convention. How crazy is this that I’m finally getting to visit Dallas, Texas?

I’m only breezing in and then jetting out the following morning but I will get to visit the Cowboys new stadium and walk on the turf. My hypebeast meter is on a trillion right now. The biggest problem for me is deciding which kicks to wear.

RLXercise Lifestyle…

Saturday, July 28th, 2012

I’ve officially overdosed on RLX gear from the Spring 2012 programme. It didn’t help me either that Bloomingdale’s has been offering the ridiculous pricepoints on these items. The hoodie pictured above is now $25 (from $168). Heads have been sleeping on the RLX brand.

True, the RLX sports I.T.’s with more athletic cuts and shapes, but true to my aspirations I find the shit that fits, or I MAKE it fit. It’s BEEN past time for me to take the Cannondale off the wall and put it back on the streets. I finally got the money to make it right.

By the end of the year I should be rocking these RLX I.T.’s on the regulack.

My new nickname is gonna be ‘Sprockets’.
