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.
I kept my shit eye level for this latest Air Jordan retro release. I like the 7s, but not more than the 6s and if I had my choice I would score another pair of the Olympic 6s before I shell out for the Barcelona 7s. Yeah, yeah I know, “Jordan WORE the Barcelona 7s!”. Shut the fux up already!
I’m promising myself that I won’t do anymore lineup release videos because I feel like I might be a part of the problem why people are hyping over sub-par shoes. Maybe if I stopped caring then so would the kids? Ha! That will never happen since the machine put in place to make these kids nutts isn’t gonna stop hyping this shit up.
Sneakers might be the perfect storm of Madison Avenue marketing meets nostalgia. I catch the fever just like every other American. Now please watch my version of anti-hype HYPE.
Pro-Keds were the first pair of sneakers I ever had. Seeing them reminds me of stickball and summertime. Old heads like myself remember the blue/red tabs on the midsole very well.
Pro-Keds had a nifty collaboration earlier this summer with the Louisville Slugger brand.
Pro-Keds takes their respect for baseball heritage a step further with their dedication to Jackie Robinson of the Brooklyn Dodgers.
The classic Pro-Keds Royal gets the royal treatment with suede and an embroidered ID on the heel.
Don’t step on my blue suede shoes.
The greatest battle of the summer is about to be fought. Which Air Jordan 2012 ‘Lite’ will rule the superhero world? Will it be the Incredible Hulk 2012s which starred in the Avengers movie? Or will it be the Batman 2012s appearing in the The Dark Knight Rises which releases later this week?
The Air Jordan 2012 ‘Lite’ is constructed entirely of a Hyperfuse synthetic material for the upper using Nike’s Flywire tech for strength and flexibility.
The Hulk 2012 is my silent favorite. Matching gear with these colors will be impossible especially since Hulk idn’t even wear clothing. LOL
I have tried to find the information on which Air Jordan 2012 insole these shoes would come equipped with but none of the sneaker websites has original info. They all just repeat each other’s headlines. Ah well, the Batman 2012 seems to be the people’s consensus.
I’ll try and post a YouTube review of these shoes as soon as I get my hands on a pair.
My sox swag cup runneth over thanks to Marshall’s.
I had these socks especially selected to rock out with the Air Jordan XI Olympic retros. Not all of them at once silly.
Here’s the real aftermath of not copping the Olympic 6s. I had to pull out another pair I caught on the low from the peoples at Cork Clothing.
Air Jordan 11 LE and more sox swag.
The magic of the Internets was in full effect this week and I copped my coveted sneakers thanks to the homey Deftronic putting out the word for me…
