SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

Saturday, March 31st, 2012

I’ve got hell’a ‘Pick Ups’ videos to post but in the meantime and in between time I thought I’d give you a look at the latest LeBron signature shoe. The Lebron 9 ‘Summit Lake Hornets’ is a tribute to LeBron’s pop warner basketball team.

I like how the shoes remark the colorway from the OG Charlotte Hornets. I can see Kendall Gill rocking this swag with his flattop (before he got those frosted tip dreads – uggh)

Kendall Gill might have played for every team in the league, but he was never better than when he was in Charlotte.

The teal and royal purple are like they were meant for each other.

I really like the LeBron 9 for the instep of the shoe. The arch support is supreme. The ‘SL Hornets’ also have the slickest of details.

I bet you these shoes could have helped the Hornets get past the Bulls back in the 1990s? Okay, maybe not.

The Boot Camp Clique Chronicles…

Just when I think I’m done with adding to my Timberland archive they drop a new style which gets me all hyped up. I fux with day hikers and trailrunners hardbody. They are the perfect urban boot complement to my Polo RL lifestyle.

These new Pathrock Mid GTX are rough, rugged and raw.

Reebok Back…

Reebok just laced me with some kicks from my personal legacy archive. The Ex-O-Fit was THAT Brooklyn sneaker from 1985-1987. This was before Nike had the visible air bubble. These shoes were my Latin Quarters dance boots.

Stay logged on to the end with this video and you might come up on some FREE kicks thanks to Reebok and the prA’li movement.

Atlanta Gets TURNED UP!

Monday, March 19th, 2012

Atlanta might not host the ‘Freaknik’ celebration any longer, but don’t get it twisted thinking the party has stopped in this town. From the Blue Flame skripper club to the Cascade skating rink, Atlantans know how to get ‘TURNED UP’. That phrase was taught to me by the homey G-Roc from The Shoe Game.

That’s why Premium Pete made sure to hit me on the hip and let me know that God’s favorite deejay. Clark Kent was in Atlanta and spinning at a party. Listen to me… I have been dancing to Clark Kent sets since 1989 and I have NEVER had a bad time in these parties. Most of them have been the greatest joints ever.

The party theme is called ‘I <3 NY’ and it drops only once a month. The promoters bring in deejays from NYC to keep the flavor authentic.

I’ll definitely plan my scheduled return to the ‘A’ around this event. The shit was just that TURNED UP. Don’t take my word for it either. Peep the photo gallery.

Peace to the homey Keinon and #SneakerFiendsUnite rep Mark the King for showing me official southern hospitality while I was in the building.

After several rounds of Long Island Ice Teas and a few shot courtesy of the King I was extra right and ready to get my ass to the Waffle House.
