Zwarte Vrijdag Means Black Friday…

Saturday, November 26th, 2011

I hit the streets for the first ever midnight run on Black Friday. In my lifetime alone we’ve gone from 10am to 8am to 6am to 4am ‘Door Buster Specials’ and now that capitalism is on its last legs they’ve decided to send in the hounds starting at 12am.

Black Friday also coincides with the time of the year when Nike really wants to turn those pants pockets into rabbit ears. If Jordan was a fourth quarter assassin then the Nike brand is the 4th quarter blitzreig. The first salvo were the Black Cements and the Tim Duncan Foamposites. The final bomb before Christmas will be the Air Jordan ‘Concords‘.

Just wait until you see that video…

All Black Everything…

Thursday, November 24th, 2011

Black Friday is upon us again Internets [ll].

Black people should reflect upon the fact that the day in which this country does the most commerce is the ONLY time something Black in AmeriKKKa is great.

I should’a been in Atlanta with Momdukes for the holiday, or at least for when SneakerCON pops off their first event in Atlanta.

But I’m up top tho’.

GRINDING. ha.

Grinding to a halt is what.

I’m gonna hit the lineups for the midnite release of the Air Jordan ‘Black Cement’ retro 3s and the Nike Air Total Max Foamposite.



Why do we call these 3s the ‘Black Cements’ when that print pattern is more elephant than anything? We should be smarter than to just follow the herd.

I am fuxing with the all black ‘Duncan’s’ tho’. The $200 pricetag feels a bit prohibitive right now after losing my phone this week but I’m also a hypebeast at heart.

Let’s see if I get caught up in the hype and copp either of these classic joints tomorrow. Or should I just stay my ass home and give up the hunt and the hype?

I’m dropping my Timberland archive like crazy all winter.

If you live the rugged footwear lifestyle then DP.com should be in your web bookmarks.

Hardbody.

MERRY #KICKSMAS FROM FOOTLOCKER…

Tuesday, November 22nd, 2011

Complex Magazine invited Premium Pete and myself to an exclusive preview of FootLocker’s holiday sneaker programme. The event was like a class reunion of sneakerhead blogs from TheShoeGame’s G-Roc to SneakerNews YuMing and even NiceKicks was represented up in that piece.

Don’t get it twisted FootLocker is the beast in the sneaker game and they don’t play fair. Along with all the hyped up Jordan releases slated for the rest of the year FootLocker reps are talking about emptying their warehouses of all their deadstock heat.

Shit will definitely be going down starting this weekend and I’ll be at the Black Friday lineup at the FootLocker flagship on 34th Street. I’m still undecided on whether I will copp the Air Jordan retro ‘Black Cement’ 3s or the Nike retro ‘Tim Duncan’ Forceposites. Decisions…
