Marshall’s: Home Of The S.F.U. Come Ups…

marshall's

As the S.F.U. midwestern chairman explained to us earlier, when you are in the presence of a comeup… You. Must. Copp. You must do it for all the SFU representatives across the globe. For your SFU brothers and sisters in Australia. For the SFU reps in the great Canadian region. even for SFU noobs in your own neighborhood. We do this for them.

During a cruise thru one of the many Marshall’s stores here in NYC I was fortunate enough to witness a subsequent markdown taking place. These markdowns usually happen during slow periods of store activity. It was a Sunday afternoon and I was cruising for a pair of Air Jordan 2009 in the white colorway since I have already smashed them with the black pairs.

My attention was pointed to a salesperson putting the vaunted ‘yellow’ ticket on sneakers. This is the designation in TJX stores (Marshall’s, TJ Maxx, A.J. Wright) that this item is receiving a final clearance price. These sneakers were getting several yellow tickets placed on them. When I saw what the final price was marked down to I had to copp.

I’m still a snob however and I wouldn’t buy the Under Armor sneakers at any price, but there were some adidas and Nike that fit my high standards. Now I just need to find a little girl to give them to.

ALL DAY I DREAM ABOUT SNEAKERS…

Editor’s note: DirtyJerz stops by DP.com quite often and today he blesses us with a pair of kicks to give away during the NCAA pool AND an epic drop about their acquisition…

Word Is Bawn. There’s absolutely NO shopping around NW Arkansas for kicks. None. Closest place to shop is Tulsa, OK, which is 2 hours away. 2 weeks ago, we took a trip out there to go to some high end mall that my girl was dyin’ to get to. Soon as we get to the mall parking lot, I looked across the street at some bum ass non-descrip strip mall and spotted a Ross. Of course I told my girl, “handle your business, but I’m headed to Rawse!”, and proceeded across the street.

You know how Ross be on some hit or miss sometimes, cleats, size 16’s, wild mexican shoes, etc., so you really gotta look when you go. I spotted these cool grey Laver mids, but it was just the one shoe, looked at the tongue[ll] and saw it was a 12, so I damn near turned that place upside down lookin’ for the mate. As I’m looking for the mate, I found it, and also came across another pair, with the plastic string holding them together. Looked at the price, $19.99!?!? FOH Copped!

They may not be the greatest pair of shoes, but this definitely goes in the books for the everyday joints!…and since I rarely fux with adidas these days, I’m willing to pass on a pair for the DP.com March Madness bracket, my closet could use the space.

Whenever I take a daytrip, I load the trunk up with kicks, cuz sneakers simply make most subjects better, IMO. Yesterday I took a 15 min. trip to Bella Vista and ran into this park, Tanyard Creek. I read the signs and took the 2 mile hike through the trail, and bumped into this waterfall. I didn’t think I would see anything this dope so I’d left the kicks in the trunk. I started having wild visions, took the hike back to the car, grabbed some kicks, and went back to that spot, and started clicking. Onlookers were lookin’ at me crazy, but fux that! I had to get it in. That back and forth hike got a kid mad exhausted today, tho!

Beats, Rhymes, Life Radio…

The Bring Your Own Blogger BBQ was exec-produced by my brother GUDTYME.

He was the cat from the ‘hood that made it into the game and he let everybody eat from his plate because he wasn’t a greedy dude. He brought me to mad exclusive functions and gave me a glimpse of what happens on the BUSINESS side of the game. Guds stressed to me that the word business was twice as long as the word show. Guds also told me that there would be a no smiling rule in effect from here on in.

I’m extremely indebted to Guds and I hope that y’all would treat him as you have treated me. When I needed to get on a day job that accepted my years of experience living in the city and allowed me to be conpensated for that knowledge despite my lack of credentials and even my criminal record, Guds helpeed me get on for that as well. Guds homepage on the web is The Gud Word. Bookmark that for me.

I fell thru a session of Beats, Rhymes and Life Radio, the weekly program that Gudtyme hosts along with DJ RPM(Rumplestilskinz) and DJ INFMATIK. I need to learn how to speak into a microphone better, but the music these dudes are spinning is all classic Hip-Hop. Let this podcast just play out while you surf the web.

SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

Brand Nubian – ‘All 4-1’

It’s been a month of Sundays since the last episode of Sneaker Fiends Unite! NYC tour has been broadcasted.

I’m going to kick off the tour again with a special episode featuring Meyhem Lauren and Super Bad MC Solace from Timeless Truth. Since we’re all Q-boro heads so I thought we could get into the down and dirty come up spots in Queens.

I’ve got designs on a pair of Air Trainer 3’s but only if I’m scoring them for the ‘Lo-low.

From ‘The Ave'(Jamaica), to Corona, Steinway and all points in between we will run the streets in search of the freshest footwear and gear for the least amount of bread. A good SFU NYC tour will have you in a pair of kicks and eating lunch for under $40. You don’t believe me? Peep the video soon come.
