I’m back in my parent’s basement where it all began for me back in the days. If I have ever had a Fortress of Solitude it has been in my folks’ home. I am invincible in my cubbyhole right next to the boilerroom.
I might could live down here permanantly too. Atlanta is like heaven for the SFU mentality. There are tons of sales and discount spots like Ross Stores and now AJ Wright is here in Atlanta as well.
I am going banana bread on come ups. I may not return to NYC with all these kicks but right now the addict is going IN. Here’s a list of my acquisitions so far. Let me know which joints you are feeling and which ones I might have to leave in the basement…
Nike Zoom Javelin Elite
These shoes make no fux’n sense other than they were in Marshall’s for $20 cent and they look retarded. I’m never gonna throw a javelin, but I like the reassurance that if for some reason I get called to action at the next Olympiad because everyone else on the planet has died at least I will have the proper shoe on my feet instead of wearing a pair of Dunks or Air Max.
My name is Dallas and yes, I am an addict.
Nike Dunk Hi
I go gaga (no paparazzi) for the Nike Dunk. 2010 is the 25th anniversary of the show so I expect to see some colorways and materials released the blow my fux’n mind. What also blows my mind is that Ross Stores was pumping these joints for $30. All the SFU-NYC tour veterans know that a $30 comeup is mandatory.
Ross Stores is my fave spot when I touch down in Atlanta. They always have something interesting at some highway fleamarket pricepoint.
Nike Air Max Terra 90
This is the shoe that I have to put a question mark on top of. I loved the AMT90s I copped earlier this year. Those joints were crack. These, not as much.
The white midsole annoys me because it doesn’t have any relationship to the other colors on the shoe. The accent color that looks blue in the photo is actually eggplant. I can’t figure out how I am gonna splash hard in these joints. Lastly, the pricepoint was $50 and I feel like these shoes need to be in the $30-$40 range.
Okay, these go back to Ross.
Nike SB Premium Lo
These Dunk Lo’s were nicknamed the ‘Asparagus’ and I wasn’t really attracted to them previously. It helped this time that they were on sale for $60 at a skate shop in Kennesaw. So now I’m calling them my ‘Piney Woods Holidaze’ because no one tells me what to name my fux’n shoes!
True Internets Backstory: In the parking lot this random kid asked me if I was the dude from the internet. I laughed and told him I was. We chopped it up for a minute because he couldn’t understand why I was in an Atlanta suburb. I told him the internets was worlwide and that I was also somewhere else at that very moment. That totally confused son and I used the awkward silence to give him a quick dap and scuttle off.
Nike SB Premium Hi
Another SB sale comeup were these joints nicknamed the ‘Wet Floors’. If I had it like that I would have bought two pairs at $50 per. Instead of ‘Wet Floors’ I’m calling these my ‘Wu-Flu’ since they are a killer bee colorway.
I might need an intervention while I am here in Atlanta. SFU NYC tour veteran Nattiez is in the ‘A’ right now as well. He’s trying to get me back into the strip joints. Knowing me, I’d rather get my hands on a pair of SB ‘Wu-Flus’ than put shoe money in a fluesy’s hands. Ya’ deeg?!?
