SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!
Thursday, May 31st, 2007SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!
Sunday, May 27th, 2007
Who’s going to see the new Fantastic Four movie called ‘The Rise Of The Silver Surfer’? I’m going just to see if they give Galactus his just due. The Silver Surfer was a bad ass, but how thorough was Galactus? That dude ate planets like they were chocolate covered creme puffs. The previews show the Human Torch trying to get at the Surfer and then getting his ass handed to him. Y’all dumb heroes need to know that the Silver Surfer ain’t no joke.
The shoe that represented their character best from last years’ Fantastic Four pack by NIKE were the Human Torch Air Max 95’s. These shits are fire, literally and figuratively. NIKE went all out with the gradient colorway on the uppers. You already know about the legendary comfort of the Air Max 95 shoe. The forefoot and heel air capsules are pressurized to take a serious pounding. Johnny Storm was always the cocky playboy hotshot in the comic books. Ain’t a damn thing change either because you will have his swagger when you put these on.
I included a Human Torch toy in the deadstock box with the sneakers so that whoever I sell or trade these shoes to will get a lil’ something extra to seal the deal.
THE FLAWLESS HUSTLE RE-LAUNCH PARTY x GABEROCKKA HOUSEWARMING PICNIC…
Friday, May 25th, 2007
Trust me, I’m having fun…
Being an Internets Celebrity has it’s advantages. Some are pretty obvious like being recognized in a bodega and getting a free .50cent bottle of Tropical Fantasy iced tea. The not so obvious perks are the invites to other Internets Celebrities house parties. I’m not one to turn down free booze so when I got the invite to fucks with the crew from Flawless Hustle I knew I would have to put my wobbly boots on. These kids party harder than BRITNEY SPEARS on a weekend bender.
The Flawless Hustle crew starts off with my homey GABEROCKKA.
GABE is a lot like me except he’s ten years younger than I am. He’s a supreme Hip-Hop head, sneakerfiend, style addict, womanizer, alcoholic, bonafide New York City kid. GABE’s a good dude who is constantly trying to not be a good dude because good dudes get shitted on. GABE also stays ahead of the curve. I predicted this summer that southeast Asian chicks would be the takeover. That’s GABE’s steez every summer.
GABE is a as happy as a pig in shit when he macks the ladies.
KEITH is another dude under the Flawless Hustle umbrella. Me and dude could build for hours on comic books and fanboy shit. KEITH came to my New Year’s Eve houseparty with a magnum of expensive champagne. These niggas from FH are young, but they come into the game correct.
Dude on the left is Mooves and homey in the black hoody is MIKE the founder of Flawless Hustle. I asked MIKE when they were gonna roll out the revamped site and he told me that they were still getting the bugs out. The new Flawless Hustle will be a lifestyle source site. They’re going to publish all the things they can find that reflect Hip-Hop culture for the twenty something Brooklynite. Actually, the twenty something urbanite. From choice spots to dine and shop to articles that represent the mindset of the fresh kids on the comeup. I’m hell’a honored that these dudes find DP Dot Com to be that crack for them.
The secondary part of the evening was to welcome GABE back to NYC. He’d been living in purgatory a/k/a Boston, MA. Home of the humorless fucktard homeland security snafu. Red Solo cups were aplenty and everyone was happy. GABE wouldn’t let me leave without taking the sweater and shirt off his back. GABE is a good dude and I hope Flawless Hustle gets back on their grizzly something mean this year.

Imagine being able to go all the way back to 1987 and copp that Polo rugby that you always wanted but you were only seven years old so it wouldn’t have looked right on you. Or that Sergio Tachini sweatsuit, or that MCM leather cap. If retro B-boy flavor is your passion then I have the party for you…

SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!
Monday, May 21st, 2007
I thought I would be remiss in creating a series of sneakers representing D.C. Comics characters and not holding it down for some of the villains that make the heroes do damn interesting. The first villain that came to my mind is Batman’s arch-nemesis. Let’s face it, who in the world is more ill than the Joker? No, I mean that literally. This dude is straight up effin’ bananas.
He’s so effin’ crazy that he will run up on Superman just to get at Batman. In the end I think that’s what everyone digs about the Joker is his singular obsession with the Bat. Nullus, as always, to any and all homoeroticism as it might relate to comic book characters and my sneaker collection.
