Xbox Fiends Unite!

The latest development in this season’s DP.com Not For Long football pool is the addition of a special Xbox DJ Hero promo package as the new grand prize for the winner. You can still opt to receive a pair of sneakers or you can get the hottest video game evar.

If you were under a rock the last few years you would have missed the Guitar Hero craze that went global. Activision is now trying to corner the rest of the market with the Hip-Hop version of their most popular game.

The DJ Hero promo pack will go to the points leader at the conclusion of the regular season. If you weren’t taking the football pool seriously yet it’s time for you to step up your picks…

premium laces

When I’m in NYC I don’t make the mistake any longer of fuxing with any other sneaker store besides Premium Laces on Spring Street. First off, Premium Laces has all the heat that you want for your feet. If you don’t see the shoe on the wall don’t be too shy to ask Premium Pete for it. He has access to anything in the game.

Premium Laces is one of those spots that you might just run into anyone copping some shit to add to their repertoire. I ran into the homey Jay Electronica the other night. I’m gonna try and link up with the homey in the near future and see what we can pop off with his music. Jay Elec is one of those real dudes too. I def fux with Jay Elec [ll].

I’ve had a few joints on my wishlist of late and Premium Laces has all of them in stock. Premium Laces is the premier NYC Nike SB location. They keep a large stock of SB Dunks so don’t pay more than you have to. Premium Laces sells their SB’s at boxprice. None of that sucker shit where stores remove the MSRP sticker.

SB’s are all about premium leathers and materials. It’s no wonder you can find them at Premium Laces. I need both of these joints for the archives. I fux with colors like that.

The Jordan Brand is one of Premium Pete’s favorite lines so if there is anything banging coming from the Jordan line Premium Laces will definitely have them in stock. The winterized Jordan boot is in the bulding. Also peep the Air Jordan 60+ in the Atlanta Hawks colorway. I copped these from Pete so I could put them on and rep for the newest Jordan Brand athlete, Dwayne Wade.

Premium Pete is def a good dude. He asked me if he could throw a lil’ something out to the Sneaker Fiends that are united here at DP dot com. Pete knows how much I fux with socks. The Nike SB socks in Dunk Lo prints are so official. Pete gifted me a couple of pairs for y’all.

All you have to do to get your free pair of Nike SB Dunk Lo socks is answer this question… What are the street names for the Nike SB Dunks pictured at the top of this page (the high and the lows). The first correct answer is the winner here at DP dot com.

Where The Wild Things Are…

What are you getting into this weekend in NYC? I’m having a CMJ pre-game weekend myself. There is too much shit to do and only 24hrs to get it all done. Definitely go to the Reed Space Annex on Sunday for the lambskin leather V-goose launch. Let’s see what kind of pricepoints they are offering for that joint.

On Saturday it’s time to celebrate if you are Boriqua, or if you are like me and you have an affinity for pernil. El Museo del Barrio will cut the ribbon on their new gallery space, cafe and exterior courtyard. This was another project that I had to shit a brick for in order to get to the finish line on time. Well here we are and rain or shine we are going to celebrate the culture and heritage of latino Americans.

After I boogie at El Museo I have to make you boogie at Lit Lounge in the lower east side. I’ll be putting in work as a guest deejay so if you are in the vicinity def pop in and say what up. @Heems (.5 of future rap superstars Das Racist) invited me to spin so I thought I could bring my Blacbook filled with all kinds of punk funk rap rock rebel goodies. I open the party @ 10pm so don’t roll thru at 3am looking for me. I fux with naps and shit.

I gotta see that Spike Jonze flick this weekend too. And then next week will be the College Music Journal madness. I’m gonna need a clone, or a surrogate.

THE NEW CLASSICS…

As you could see from the earlier video I passed through the lifestyle section in Bloomingdale’s. Even with no money in my pockets I HAVE to see what Polo Ralph Lauren is cooking up for the fall season. There were a few rustic I.T.’s that appeal to my woodsman [ll] aesthetic but the classic shit for me will always be a ‘Lo rugby.

I placed these two on my wishlist…

O-Prime from Timeless Truth was rocking this joint for his video shoot last weekend. I made the mental note to copp. I just need the price to dip a little more and this joint is so mine. With a pair of Levi’s and the new Jordan Spiz’ike boots I will be smashing shit. What shit? That shit.

This rugby has subtle ‘Lo flavors all over it like arm patches and shoulder yoke stitching. My favorite details are the leather reinforcements on the collar and the NY Knicks/Mets colorway.
