Russell Westbrook has the OKC Thunder rolling!
Premium Pete asked me to post a list of my Top 10 Sneakers of 2011 over at the SneakerTUBE.tv blog. I decided that a video mixtape would feel fresher than just a blog drop. This is my beautiful dark irony since I started SFU from blog drops.
Happy new year my sneaker fiend family. May your uppers remain crisp and your soles stay icy fresh in 2012.
Emotional Outfits…
Before I ever met the Outdoorsmen I had a chance to build with the Timeless Truth movement. These brothers brought that glorious fabric of classic NYC back to life. Timeless Truth embodies that Polo/Timberland/NorthFace/Nike/NewEra lifestyle we love so much at this site.
The project that Timeless Truth has been working on since the beginning is cooking up perfectly. Rock-It Science is straight up sautee status and about to be served like a heatrock. The appertif is called ‘Brugal y Presidentes’ and that’s just to let you know they NEVER gonna forget where they come from.
Lastnite’s show at the Highline Ballroom deserves to be credited to Vintage Gear Addicts and the Hip-Hop community they’ve been building for all their life. Timeless Truth is gonna be the piece to complete the puzzle for this Queens rap takeover. Make sure you bookmark their page if you fux with DallasPenndotcom.
Since I’m still on my Philly vibe I decided which kicks I need to rock to the Roots picnic next year.
I’m copping these Nike Vac-Tech Barkleys because they are HARD!
Barkley’s signature shoes always had that substantial hardbody silhouette. Barkley’s game was actually supernatural because he was shorter than his listed height of 6′-6″. Some have said that Barkley was actually 6′-2″. LOL. Dude is the GOAT Phoenix Sun but these shoes are all about that Philly swag colorway.
Nike’s Vac-Tech constructs the upper of one seamless shell. Even the foams have seams at the heels and toebox. These joints are definitely some Independence Day neck snappers. I’ma free myself from all the Jordan hype with these buttermilks.
The Air Jordan retro XI ‘Concord’ hype reached a fever pitch on 34th Street lastnite. No one was killed in NYC but unfortunately that wasn’t the case around the country.
I’m sure the Jordan Brand folks will consider this a successful release. Had there been mass killings this might have been the best release of all time. I’m sad that we’re back to killing people for sneakers because the people making these joints in China are surely dying also, from being overworked.
A lot of people on the lineup asked me if the video was going to WorldStar. They consider that to be a Hip-Hop website. WTF?!? A little part of my sole dies when I talk to the masses. They are grossly misinformed and mostly cowardly lemmings. Does anyone do real shit anymore? I don’t think so.
Ah well, this is the future Internets.
And I’m part of the dystopia.
In keeping with our sneaker fiends unite theme, the Q-Boro nightowl Shaz IllYork rips it down for all the deadstock representatives who fux with the rap shit.
