Das Racist In Red Hook…

The Mets have lost some of that early season swag they had found in May but getting swept in their second consecutive weekend series. If the Mets played all their games during the week they might have the best record in the bigs.
The Reds kept the Mets in check with good defense and precision pitching, but the Mets didn’t help their cause either by leaving men in scoring position stranded on base all game. This week the second place Orioles and first place Yankees come out to CitiField.
I’m not gonna say that we miss Jose Reyes, but we do miss his dreads.
Avengers Vs. X-Men…
Sunday, June 17th, 2012
For those of you still fuxing with the Marvel Comic’s series Avengers vs. X-Men I just uploaded a review of issues #4 and #5. I skipped reviewing #3 because I was lazy and the Avengers movie was getting all of my attention, but I’m back on this series now.
Verdict: The storyline has picked up but the artwork leaves much to be desired.

The real story in the NBA Finals for sneaker heads is which shoe is better, the Lebron 9 or the KD4?
— DALLAS PENN (@Dallas_Penn) June 10, 2012
The OKC Thunder have taken the first contest in the Association’s tournament finale but the real showdown is between the signature shoes of each team’s star players.
In one corner we have the KD IV, Kevin Durant’s sneaker. The best thing I have to say about the KD’s is how Kevin Durant demanded that Nike create a shoe with an accessible pricepoint. The KD’s retail for $95 and that is almost half the going rate for most sneakers in this hypebeast era.
In the other corner we have the Lebron 9. This is the first Lebron signature shoe I have purchased. What attracted me to the shoe was the instep sculpting. I love the way the arch is supported by the carbon fiber plate underneath.
The Lebron and KD shoes come in a bevy of colorways so it’s gonna be hard to pick which shoe shall reign supreme.
The KDIV ‘Nerf’ was a hypebeast favorite. The shoes came in a box with a Nerf sponge basketball and rim. Pictured directly above is the KDIV ‘Weatherman’ which most sneaker heads slept on at first.
The Lebron 9 ‘Cannon’ is my first Lebron shoe (that I paid for). Full Disclosure: FootLocker gave me the ‘Free Gums’ back during their Hottest Month Ever peomotion.
The KDIV ‘Year Of The Dragon’ edition is part of the 2012 Year Of The Dragon pack. I’m secretly looking for the Kobe 7 YOTDs
I just bought these Lebron 9 ‘China’ off eBay and I swear if they are bondooloo I’m gonna rampage. LOL
Where Are You Yeezy?!?
Monday, June 11th, 2012
This weekend was pretty tumultuous for sneaker fiends and fans of KanYe West as Nike released the second edition of his signature Air Yeezy sneaker. I wasn’t as enamored with this version as I was for the initial colorways but I couldn’t deny the hype I was feeling watching everyone go ham on TWitter and various sneaker collecting forums prior to the release.
I thought I would use the hype to help someone cash in on sneakers they weren’t actually wearing to acquire the Yeezys. I put the word out that I was looking for the Electro-Lime Foamposite or the LeBron 9 ‘China’ edition and sadly to no avail I was left without the Yeezys or the shoes I really wanted. Thru all the strum and drang people did copp the Yeezys tho’.
Shouts to all the hypebeasts like myself who keep the culture alive.
Special shouts to On The Sneak Tip for bringing out their fancy camera to film the goings ons.
Super special shouts to the dimepiece hypebeast who was attracted to the MTV mic flag like a moth to a candle
If you didn’t see the ‘Where Are You Yeezy?!?’ parts 1 and 2 here they go.
Thank me later.
