Where Are You Yeezy?!?

As I walked my favorite retail sneaker corridor – West 34th Street, I chopped it up with some of the sneaker fiends thatr had been camped out for several days in anticipation of the latest release of NIKE’s Air Yeezy sneakers.

To say the least the conversations and interactions were fun. These dudes and dudettes(who knew?) are the reason why I keep collecting my shoes. At the end of the day it is all for the love of rubber and leather. These folks got sole.

I woke up today in an Ohio Players type mood.

Yeah I feel a little freaky [ll], but mostly I feel like getting after my dreams.

We’ve squeezed off one-third of 2009 already, so if I’m gonna take over this year I had better get my ass in gear.

R.I.P. ERNIE BARNES

BARNES was a former NFL lineman whose passion was for painting. I love this piece above for all the emotion and movement he described in the bodies.

BARNES was also the consummate humanist. BARNES said that he never painted any subjects with their eyes open because, “We don’t ever see each other, we are blind to each other’s humanity.”

SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

Tomorrow is the first Saturday of the month. This typically means I hold it down in the Brooklyn Museum of Art for their Target 1st Saturdays program. The music has been so shitty lately that I haven’t bothered going to the museum. They are playing the movie ‘Pee Wee’s Big Adventure’ though so I may walk across the street just to watch that.

Speaking of a big adventure, who walks in Brooklyn?

Buckshot Shorty, he sounds like an automatic…

The new Brooklyn dad. He looks like Combat Jack.

I was thinking about have a Sneaker Fiends Unite! NYC tour, but not unless we have more than five (5) people.

Sheeeeeit, I can always go sneaker shopping by my lonesome.

Dunk premiums are on sale right now. The pricepoints range from $40 to $60, but if we put our paper together we can negotiate some serious deals.

I just caught these Tampa Skate Park SB’s for $60 after I put on my super haggle steez of show an go. Show your money and then act like you are going to walk out of the store. Cash rules everything around us and that is how deals are made.

By a show of hands let me know if you are trying to make the rounds tomorrow.
