Nairobi Lifestyle…

Wednesday, May 18th, 2011

Ralph Lauren is the ultimate aspirational clothing designer. Now that he has conquered America he is setting his sights on the Aberdare wildlife preserve in Nairobi, Kenya.

This rugby goes ridiculously hard. Game over with those sueded elbow patches. This is definitely the shit you would want to rock if you were hiking in this equatorial mountain range.


I’m gonna set this rugby off right with these purple foamposites aka Royal Dutch African Foams.

Remember when you would meet someone who was so darkskint you would say they was purple?

Africa ain’t never looked as good as how I rock this lifestyle swag here in America. LOL

SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

Wednesday, May 18th, 2011

Our favorite rapper is also our favorite sneaker fiend. Sean Price has created a series of kicks honoring Black cinematic heroes. The ‘LeVar Burton’ pack was official. Now he gives us the ‘Billy Dee Williams’ pack minus the Colt45.

Ruck keeps it classy for the internets.

Got Sneakerpedia?

Wednesday, May 18th, 2011

Sneaker culture always seems like its too personal to find a connect to the masses. No one understand why people line up outside of FootLocker for shoes that aren’t being sold for several days. Hypebeasts that do stunts like camp out in front of stores are a small percentage of the heads who wear kicks, but that behavior certainly got the notice of corporate America.

How can these uber-collectors be cloned, or better still infect the rest of the population into becoming hypebeasts? FootLocker took a step in that direction with the new website Sneakerpedia. Think of this site as the Wikipedia for sneakers. I fuxed with the page one afternoon and lost four hours in the nostalgia of all the sneakers I’ve owned. If you consider yourself a sneaker head you will fux with this site.

‘Nuff said.

A Letter From The Management…

Tuesday, May 17th, 2011

Why so sad Kobe? DallasPenn.com is back on the internets.

It’s been so long since I’ve done a weblog post I almost forget how the formatting here works. The site has been on suspension by the server host because we haven’t upgraded the WordPress engine in about 6 years. Yeah, basically since the site has been on the web. The site has been getting hacked to death in recent months and it started to compromise the host server’s operations so they puled the plug until I got the upgrade.

I considered whether it was even worth my time to come back here on the site since I’m making sick amounts of YouTube videos along with the Internets Celebrities and I do that podcast show with Combat Jack and I have a dayjob and I have a life filled with drinking copious amounts of sponsored alcohol. But thanks to my good friend Robbie from UnKut.com the site’s engine did in fact receive the upgrade. Hopefully it won’t take me another 6 years to maintain this page’s infrastructure.

Now for those of you that truly missed the content on this site I thank you for coming back to us. I had grand ideas of changing the look and feel of the page but in the end I told myself that the content on this page will make up for any fancy bells and whistles you might find somewhere else on these internets. DP.com is, and will always be the illest of the no-frills, the swaggiest of the raggedy, the hi-class of the lo-fi.

I’m gonna drop a few YouTube videos that I’ve produced during the few months the site was suspended just so you can get an idea of what I’ve been up to. Remember when Arnold Schwarzenegger said he’d be back? Well, he ain’t neva lie ’bout that.
