I’ve been really feeling a kind of way about the Star Wars x adidas pack of sneakers at the adidas Originals store. I’m still on my fux yo’ adidas shit even tho’ I might have found a pair or two added to my archives since the boycott.

I haven’t gone to the adidas Originals store tho’ to view the Star Wars pack in person. But I’m going to the adidas Originals store as soon as I get some scrilla. Especially after I saw how the shoes were being packaged. I love packaging [ll].

I’m feeling the Yoda mocassins. The upper is a moc reminiscent of the classic Tims and the platform is a ZX sole. The faux Dagobah lizard is official tissue. Don’t h8 me internets but I may have to copp these Yoda joints after peeping the pics from the Leaders website.

The Chicago connection continues. The big homie Dirty Jerz mailed me a mean fitted from the Leaders store before he and wifey reloc’d out of Chi-Town. Jerz just sent me an e-mail featuring the Star Wars x New Era fitted cap series. You already know I’m copping the Boba Fett joint. I think I may have to get the Jango Fett lid too. Fanboyz Unite!

Bacon FTW!

These Air Max 90 Current Huarache hybrids are on sale at Transit stores for $40.

The infamous Dave’s Quality Meats ‘Bacon’ colorway won’t give you high cholesterol either.

“I’m gaw’n in.”

My homey Premium Pete hit me up on the TWitters and told me to check the PremiumLacesNY site for a look at the newly released Quickstrike Nike SB Dunk Hi. These joints have been nicknamed the ‘Boom’. Normally, Nike has me locked from the word Dunk. SB Quickstrikes? I’m gonna have to get familiar with these joints.

The ‘Boom’ are on some superhero shit just like the adidas Star Wars pack was on some faux sci-fi fanboy shit. C’mon Nike SB?!? This can’t be the best y’all can do? No self respecting superhero is going out like this. No suede? No patined leather?

Sorry Nike SB, and you know I ride out for the Dunk shoe hardbody, but as the representative for sneaker collecting superhero fanboys all across the internets I’m gonna have to pass on these joints.

The ‘Boom’ reminds me more of Kaboom (read: clown shoes)

“Kaboom! Guess who stepped in the room?”

THE NEW CLASSICS…

In a few weeks the US Olympics team will be in Vancouver going for the gold in the Winter Olympiad. Polo Ralph Lauren will be outfitting the US athletes in some dope lifestyle I.T.’s while Polo drops some pieces that commemorate the past Olympiads and winter sports.

I might have to pull out one of my vintage slalom ski sweaters with the full length arm pads or I could just come up on this crisp hoody. I think it has a USA spell out on the backside too.

WHOA! This Lake Placid hoody is murderous material. Every season Polo releases a piece that is heirloom collector quality. This is one of those I.T.’s.

Seeing that hoody on your computer doesn’t do it the proper justice. You need to peep that joint in person.

This is the one winter piece I am most excited for because I have the matching sweater in my archives.

‘LO-End Theory ‘LO-mercial: Ricky Rothchild…

Editor’s Note: This drop is a rewind from the O.G. ‘LO-End Theory (2010)

What is worse than wearing CHAPS? Wearing some knockoff ‘Lo shit like Beverly Hills Polo Association. The knockoffs just undermine everything we have tried establish about the lifestyle. Don’t let the patches, embroidery or colorblocking fool you. Bahndoolou is bahndoolou. Ricky Rothchild is the latest brand to attempt to swagger jack the lifestyle wholesale.
