Zwarte Vrijdag Means Black Friday…

Saturday, November 26th, 2011

I hit the streets for the first ever midnight run on Black Friday. In my lifetime alone we’ve gone from 10am to 8am to 6am to 4am ‘Door Buster Specials’ and now that capitalism is on its last legs they’ve decided to send in the hounds starting at 12am.

Black Friday also coincides with the time of the year when Nike really wants to turn those pants pockets into rabbit ears. If Jordan was a fourth quarter assassin then the Nike brand is the 4th quarter blitzreig. The first salvo were the Black Cements and the Tim Duncan Foamposites. The final bomb before Christmas will be the Air Jordan ‘Concords‘.

Just wait until you see that video…

SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

Friday, November 25th, 2011

If you are one of the lucky people to have picked up a pair of ‘Black Cement’ 3s this weekend you might would consider topping that shoe off with an official DP.com chapaeu.

I got the all over black cement joint with the red accent and the black and grey cement piping with SFU embroidered in the back panel. Either joint is $30 shipped to you in the continental U.S. and $42 anywhere else.

Both hats are New Era fitted 7 3/4.

If you want to copp just hit up Pra’Li and leave a note for the hat(s) you want.

The Boot Camp Clique Chronicles…

Wednesday, November 23rd, 2011

I’m dropping my Timberland archive like crazy all winter.

If you live the rugged footwear lifestyle then DP.com should be in your web bookmarks.

Hardbody.

MERRY #KICKSMAS FROM FOOTLOCKER…

Tuesday, November 22nd, 2011

Complex Magazine invited Premium Pete and myself to an exclusive preview of FootLocker’s holiday sneaker programme. The event was like a class reunion of sneakerhead blogs from TheShoeGame’s G-Roc to SneakerNews YuMing and even NiceKicks was represented up in that piece.

Don’t get it twisted FootLocker is the beast in the sneaker game and they don’t play fair. Along with all the hyped up Jordan releases slated for the rest of the year FootLocker reps are talking about emptying their warehouses of all their deadstock heat.

Shit will definitely be going down starting this weekend and I’ll be at the Black Friday lineup at the FootLocker flagship on 34th Street. I’m still undecided on whether I will copp the Air Jordan retro ‘Black Cement’ 3s or the Nike retro ‘Tim Duncan’ Forceposites. Decisions…

All Day I Dream About Sneakers…

Tuesday, November 22nd, 2011

I got a box from adidas this weekend with their latest casual hightop basketball shoe – The LQC. This stands for Lightweight Quality Comfort. The shoe reminds me of a Supra Skytop in that casual sneaker vein. I don’t think the LQC is really for playing basketball in, but more for chilling out and going top the movies.

I’m down with adidas sending me shoes so I can kick it with y’all (you see what I just did?), but I’m just waiting for the all leather Rod Laver to return so I can BEAST out and copp 10 pairs.
