From the land of plantations I am back on the plantation…
My day job actually isn’t a plantation, and even if it was I still get to wear kicks on most days.
Atlanta was extra dope. I connected with some folks that I only see in the comments section. There’s a lot of real people in the ‘A’ and a lot of sneaker fiends to get united.
The DunkxChange was cool. I copped these Air Max 1 NL (no lining) joints that I have been checking for. The dealers gave me a discount off their initial price. That was peace for me. I hope that my support will keep these events coming to Atlanta.
A few cats recognized the kid from the YouTubes so that was cool. We built for a few, but then I bounced with my crew. Fats and Brooklyn Mike were holding me down this afternoon as we fell through Atlanta’s landmark streetwear spot Walter’s and then did a swoop through the Underground.
I went in on some of the Ross Stores locations on the advice of the big homie Dirty Jerz. Ross Stores definitely had the come ups. My score was the Air Max Diamond Turf. These are the kicks that Neon Deion sported when he was down with Dallas.
$30 was the official price that I couldn’t front on. I almost wanted to copp two pairs but instead I picked up a pair of cleats for the boy 40 Diesel since he still plays flag football in the grass for the Long Island kegger league. Would you believe that these joints were on clearance at Ross for $3.49?!?
Atlanta you are ridiculous fresh.
Another cat that I was able to get up with was the boy Spekt a/k/a ReadyRoc. He’s getting heavy into the blogs so you need to check his page. Double R is another ‘Lo rocking – sneakerfiending – comic collecting kid from the ghetto like myself. As a matter of fact, I’m from Corona, but R.R. is from Camden so he is definitely more ghetto. ReadyRoc put me on to some spots in the Little 5 Points neighborhood that I hadn’t peeped out yet.
Fam also got me hyped to copp some SB’s. Naturally I went in on the Boba Fett’s since I am a hardbody Star Wars nerdboy. I like the Atlanta spots when it comes to SB’s because they charge MSRP. Fuck around and you might even catch a sale with these spots. The store I fucks with in Kennesaw called Ambush gives you a free pair of kicks after you have bought six pairs.
I like how Atlanta reps the sneaker fiends culture overall. There are definitely some stores for you to catch your come ups and there are some spots that hold down the exclusys. I can get in where I fit in and not feel any kind of way about it. Now that is what’s really good.
