I thought I had an Oakley corporate connect until he hit me with the wamp-wamp.
I’m not gonna cry with this one tho’ since it’s not like I do Oakley promo hardbody over here at dP. I wish I would have played my hand better when I was at that Oakley event a few seasons back instead of drinking all the liquor and grabbing as much free swag as I could carry.
I need to elevate my sunglass swag from Frogskin to future funk 4000…
I was all hyped to hit up my favorite little Nike SB shop when I was in Atlanta. It just so happened that the highly coveted ‘Space Jam’ Dunk was being released the weekend I was in town.
Ambush in Kennesaw had been kryptonite to the hypebeasts up to this point. Everytime I fell thru that spot they always had my size on the shoes that were long since sold out everywhere else.
Not this time tho’. The hypebeasts descended upon Ambush and raided their stash before I could even get a chance to see one of these Dunks in person.
Oh well, I have these pics at least…
Guess who snuck up onto the Complex Magazine list of the 25 Must-Follow Sneaker Influencers on Twitter?
Chea!
New Hampshire Bootmaker Timberland to be Sold for $2B
I’ve obviously been making the wrong decision for the past twenty five years by buying Timberland boots and socks instead of investing in Timberland bonds and stocks.
VF Corporation owns Nautica, The North Face, Jansport, Eastpak, Wrangler, 7 For All Mankind and a shitload of other second-tier brands. I hope that Timberland doesn’t lose the innovative spark with this acquisition. Their legacy line of footwear will forever be synonymous with cutting edge quality, but I worry about their newer hybrid lines.
The Mountain Athletics division from Timberland is totally slept on. This is where they develop all those lightweight quick response day hikers like the Cadion boots. I pulled a pair out of my archives and not a minute too soon. The rubber was starting to turn yellow from the improper storage. These are the 30152 deck shoes. They are like a hybrid aqua sock meets boat shoe.
You will rarely find me suggesting that you wear a shoe without socks, even a deck shoe, but these Mountain Athletics division Timberlands are so comfortable on the insole it would be a crime to not go barefoot in these. The outsole has flex grooves so that the shoe bends with your foot naturally and a non-skid outsole to help you keep your grip even on a wet surface.
Timberland isn’t just for the wintertime anymore.
Timberland is for every season and every reason.
I’m such an insufferable addict for kicks. Who else do you know buys kids sneakers, but has NO children? Yeah, I got ish.
The Black Peter Pan flies again…
