Deadstock Dallas is the SHOEVMENT!

Chocolate Snowflake has convinced me to finally sell off all the shit in my crib collecting dust. A nigga still got only two feet so why does he need to own several hundred shoes? So I’m selling off unused unworn kicks, vintage Polo gear and toys.

I’ll be outdoors for the next few weeks (end of October) and then indoors for the weekends leading up to the holidays.

Definitely stop by and see if anything I got gets you hype.

air max 180

The Air Max 180 is one of my all-time favorite designs within the Air Max pantheon. The exposed air unit at the heel is nothing short of evolutionary. I’m pysched that Nike has returned the original shoe design to their iD programme.

Except they have reintroduced the shoe with a sick slew of alternate materials and colorway options like never before. I took a dry run thru the design module and crafted a pair of kicks for my Kryptonian alter-ego.

On Krypton my name is Dal-El so that is what I called these joints.

dal-el 180s

Synthetic perforated leather as the base material with synthetic suede on the upper. No animals were used in the manufacturing of this shoe.

These Air Max 180s are vegan approved.

Speckled foam midsole with the ‘pop’ coming from the color in the heel airbag unit.

Lord only knows that Chocolate Snowflake is gonna lose her shit when she sees another pair of sneakers come thru her doorway but for only $120 they are some of the most affordable shoes within the Nike iD programme.

Pray for me Internets.

Outfit Architecture…

I’ve been patiently accumulating I.T.s from the Ocean Challenge series. This was one of those runs where I was in love with the pieces on first sight. Polo’s nautical programme of late has been ridiculous.

This might be the third straight year with a sailing jacket that was a ‘Must Copp’ on my wish list. This would be the first of those three years that I actually copped the jacket.

I ended up going ham for this series by securing the 5-panel cap and pullover sweater to match. I’m amped to roll this look out at the next Brooklyn Museum of Art 1st Saturday party. Holla at me if you see me in the streets.

Swag doesn’t stop up top tho’. You have to go from head to toe. maybe you think I’m OD’g by rocking the Ocean Challenge cap too. You’re right but its better to go all in than to leave some chips on the table.

I’m not married to these Jordan 2011s with this fit since I do have the Independence Day 5’s on ice back in the lab. I might have to keep digging to find the right shoe to set this ‘fit off properly.

I’ll give folks a heads up now and tell y’all that Marshall’s is starting to unpack their holiday season items. This means a lot of the Polo RL you might have missed at Bloomies and Macy*s will be up for grabs at prices better than most department stores can afford to sell them for.

I’ll keep my eyes peeled for the Polo holiday deals and you know I’ma keep building these ‘fits.

How Dr.JAYs gonna try an act brand new with me?

I remember you Dr.JAYs when you were just a ramshackle an Army-Navy store. You tried to comeup in the sporting goods game but Modell’s runs that lane hardbody.

Modell’s is gonna let me host an Air Jordan party in one of their stores this holiday season. I’m gonna nail Dr.JAYs ass to the wall with that event.

Since I don’t own the purple Foamposites yet I’ve been trying to match up some colorways with one of my recent favorite acquisitions.

I think I nailed it with this ‘fit.
