Internets! I need y’all to keep your eyes out for the kid on this one (shouts to DJ Franchise). I’m going back to my favorite Delancey Street shoppe to have SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE! embroidered on two(2) dozen New Era caps.
I wish I had a few San Francisco Giants caps in the lot because the SF would be the most appropriate representation of how we get down for our kicks. There used to be a New Era joint for Bill Russell’s alma mater, the University of San Francisco, which had the SFU initials on the crown, but they have since contracted their initials to SF also…
I need y’all to keep your eyes peeled for the kid in your local A.J. Wright installations for SF hats. Right now A.J.Wright is selling these caps for $7.99-$9.99 apiece. I’d like to rebuy any SF caps you come up on as well as reimburse you for the postage and your time to look for them.
How does this work?
When you leave your e-mail address in the proper field I will e-mail you my phone number. You then call me so I can give you more details.
It was one of those wonderful ‘Oh Shit!’ moments for me when I was walking down West 34th Street across from Macy*s and peeped what was inside FootLocker’s display window. Wham! (no George Michael) It hit me like an ice cold breeze. Nike had finally gotten the message that the Air Max was life sustaining air. At least for us sneaker fiends it is…
Perched on top of multi=colored oxygen tanks were the latest Air Max offerings. Some of the classic styles mixed with the latest Air Max+ 2009 and a brand new hybrid called the Air Max 24-7 (I wasn’t enthralled with the name, but the shoe is fire flames james). It was a serendipitous moment for me since I never, if ever look into FootLocker to see what they are offering.
I walked inside and proceeded to have my mind blown. The Air Max programme is at the center of this sneaker fiends’ dreams. The concept of putting air inside of a shoe where there once was rubber and foam is a glorious step towards the future dystopia. There was once something and Nike has replaced it with nothing and charges me more for the less it gives me. I keep buying it too.
These will be the shoes that I wear when I ride on the pale white horse…
Air Max ’95
Ain’t nothing changed with the classic style. The uppers’ premium materials and the kelly green midsole are what we haven’t seen together before. Suede and patined leather? I wasn’t ready.
Air Max 24-7
The Air Max 24-7 is a hybrid of the AM95 and Air Max 97 uppers placed on top of an Air Max 2009 platform. After holding this shoe in my hands I needed this joint in my life. The perforated leather upper is soft and smooth and it helped to buffer the $160 pricepoint.
Air Max+ 2009
This was the moment that the clouds opened up and I heard these angelic voices going “Aaaaahhhhhhhhh”. These shoes are crazy. They are beautiful and ridiculous all in one fell swoop. I think they are all red because Nike is giving the proceeds from these shoes to fighting AIDS in Africa via the project (RED).
Okay, I just made that up to justify my purchase. Nike isn’t giving shit away. They’ll be using the profits from these shoes to buy up all of the oxygen on the Earth so that come tomorrow we will all be breathing Nike Air.
Australia is going in hardbody for comeups and the culture. Join the homey Pinky as he drafts a motley bunch of down under dunns and hits up the outlets.
Makes me wanna host another tour on this side but the sales have been wack as of late. Plus all the SFU-NYC crew has been O.T. JaiSlayer, Nattiez, Diesel, GrandMaster, Encyclopedia Black are all from outside of NYC.
I need to take the SFU tour to a new town. Yo G-Roc what up?!?
In the meantime and in between time take a look at Pinky go in on the Sean Price approved Nike SB ‘Big Gulps’. Sneaker Fiends Unite is worldwide bitches.
