One of the issues I have with sneakerheads is how most of these assclowns never relace their sneakers. You can’t hit the streets with your shoes laced how they came in the box.
The proper protocol as displayed above is the over-under technique. That is the official sneakerhead ‘G’ style. Just let Dr.Doom tell it…
More Black bullshit coming from the NY Comic Con…
Hot Peas and Butta is an artist collective formed from deejays and emanating into other artforms like dynamic visual media (moving pictures ya’ big dummy!).
Here’s an afternoon mix from HPB that will keep you on the good foot while you are at the dayjob.
The Roots next album will be an experimental Hip-Hopera titled ‘UnDun’ about the brief life of a young man caught up in the streetlife.
Allow me to let Questlove tell the story…
“At this point in our career we’d like for our work to have a unifying theme, and an experiential quality. We’ve been intentionally making our albums shorter in length so that they can be experienced as a continuous work. The music is band-oriented with an eye on the moody cinematic. As a DJ, I am the King of playlists, but I don’t want our albums to feel like a playlist or a mixtape for that matter. We want to tell stories that work within the album format and we want the stories to be nuanced and useful to people.
Undun is the story of this kid who becomes criminal, but he wasn’t born criminal. He’s not the nouveau exotic primitive bug-eyed gunrunner like Tupac’s character Bishop in Juice… he’s actually thoughtful and is neither victim nor hero. Just some kid who begins to order his world in a way that makes the most sense to him at a given moment… At the end of the day… isn’t that what we all do?”

Even from the alternate universe of the hereafter Dwayne McDuffie is of singular influence and importance to fanboys of any creed or color.
Dwayne discusses the difficulties in bringing Black characters into mainstream comicbooks. The rule of three being that if there are three Black characters then the series is ‘Black’. Let’s face it, Blacks in real life are already threatening to most white, so can you imagine the angst that Black males with superpowers gives?
I caught this clip at Kwame’s website GEEKMODEONLINE.com
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.
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.
