SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

Tuesday, April 17th, 2012

You must prQA’li think I’m pretty didactic when it comes to talking about footwear and specifically boots. Well I am. I live for this shit. And I live for the hybrid boot – trail runner – sneakers which come from the Nike All Conditions Gear brandway.

Peep these Air Talaria boots I come up on for $34.99 thanks to my friends at Cork Clothing. Cork posts Nike outlet deals on the daily. Make sure you subscribe to their e-mail feed so that you stay plugged in.

SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

I copped these Deion Sanders signature shoes because I saw the homey from The Shoe Game (G-Roc Smith) rocking these joints.

SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

I think this is a first for me on video where I not only have several different styles of shoes featured but also from several different manufacturers.

I’m showing adidas Rod Lavers, the Reebok Insta-Pump Fury x Mita collaboration, Nike volleyball Air Trainers and my OG grail Air Tech Challenge 3/4s. I’m all over the place, but at the end of the day its all about copping what you like and being true to your style.

Delancey Street Homecoming…

Monday, April 2nd, 2012

I can’t even stress enough how much I appreciate Reebok for giving me the opportunity to host an event at their space off Delancey Street. This night was like a homecoming for me. I was back on Delancey Street where my sneaker fiending first began more than 25 years ago.

Classic.

Salutes to Combat Jack and the whole crew from the Combat Jack Show who fell thru the event to support the kid. All my dudes held me down hardbody tho’. Premium, Solace, Aqua, ‘Naud, Dave, Jayson, Hobbs, J.Nicholson, Billy Anthony, Chad Wells…

Everybody!

Thanks to Cole for being my intern. DallasPenn.com never had an intern before. We still don’t know what to do with our intern, but we gonna put her to work. It ain’t gonna be free kicks every time Cole. LOL.

Big up to Sean Malcolm aka DJ Profile from King Magazine who came thru and held down the sound system hardbody.

Esso and his band Beatsro rocked the gallery with a mini set. Basquiat’s spirit was definitely in the air.

The whole night was classic. Thanks Reebok.

New Balance: Made In America…

Monday, April 2nd, 2012

I crashed this in-store party at the New Balance spot on Fifth Avenue. Instead of eating food and drinking wine I fuxed with the sneakers. I’m at the Jedi level of open bar (obama) events that I can’t even get down with the swill unless its one of my top drinks. I’m just really into sneakers too.

New Balance is one of those brands that will make the best products around and because they won’t play the hype machine game that other manufacturers play you won’t know what you are missing. I can sit here and drop a litany of New Balance styles that just shit on other brands with their construction and durability.

Even with their high profile collaborations, New Balance still remains the anti-hypebeast sneakerhead shoe because they aren’t pouring money into promoting their shoes. If you know the deal then you already know. Otherwise, you better ask somebody what’s fuxin’ with the ‘N’. Nobody.
