NIKE SBs 4 SALE…

Deadstock Dallas is going strong with some more kicks on the eBay system. Thanks for putting your hat in the ring internets. Now do me a favor and tell a friend to tell a friend.

Outfit Architecture…

Friday, February 10th, 2012

Here’s a simple ‘fit for tonight’s tilt at the hardwood mecca, MSG.

Supreme box cap, ACG (All Access) vest, vintage PRL knit ski sweater, kelly green lambswool lifestyle to protect my neck, Nike DRI-Fit pants, and Air Jordan 2012 Year Of The Dragon on my feet. Nothing matches but everything is comfortable everyday swag.

I placed the Total Air Max insole (Fly Thru) in the 2012s since I’ll be wearing them all day and I’ll want the extra cushioning.

My lifestyle doesn’t require me to match my sneakers with my sweaters with my hats etc. I CHOOSE to do that sometimes, but your style should truly represent you at ease just doing what you do. That is the ultimate in swag if you ask me.

Enter The Dragon…

The Air Jordan 2012 is killing the game with the Year Of The Dragon release. First of all, the 2012 system is official tissue. The sneakers have three(3) different cushioned insloes and two(2) separate comfort sockliners. Then there’s the colorway of the AJ 2012 ‘Year Of The Dragon’ outer shell. FIYAHVERKX!!!

Okay, so allow me to break down the Air Jordan 2012 system to you…

The packaging is incredible. It really allows you to appreciate all the design work which goes into creating these shoes. You can see the consideration which went into this shoe from day one.

The theme of this sneaker system is that you get to choose your own flight, meaning you chose the comfort and performance level you want to have while wearing the shoes.

Three(3) different insoles for three distinct types of play.

Fly Around – Quick and low to the ground. Zoom Air heel unit.
Fly Over – Above the rim play. Zoom Air heel and Max Air forefoot unit.
Fly Through – Total Max Air insole for maximum cushioning.

After you choose your insole you have to select a sockliner. Hightop or low?

I prefer the hightop sockliner for the extra added ankle support.

You could almost wear the insoles and the sockliners without added the external shell but that is the last layer of structure and support in this shoe system.

The outer shell also has the POPP! -(c) SamColt12

Jordan Brand developed a shoe which even trumps the Kobe Bryant VII Supreme system. The feel was supportive without being too tight. A footglove possibly? Too bad that Gary Payton is retired now. He would have loved these kicks.

Year Of The Swaggin’…

I’m entering the ranks of the SHOEMINATI. It’s a sneaker fiend secret society. We get invited to play basketball on the floor of Madison Square Garden, or maybe even chit chat with iconic shoe designers like Tinker Hatfield.

In this episode of S.F.U. we attend the initial flight of the Air Jordan 2012.

Dallas Penn Is The Dark Avenger…

Monday, February 6th, 2012

With these metallic red foams I complete my set of sneakers I’m calling the Dark Avenger pack.

Along with the Pewter and Royal Blue Foams I have all the colorways to complement an Iron Patriot outfit.

Now I think I need to start up my own team of superhero sneaker Avengers.
