This was the S.F.U. crew in full effect on Fordham Road.

GRRL ZOEY took the shot so you don’t see her though.

sfu voltron

Forming Voltron.

Why does Nattiez have the wrong foot in the cipher? Good thing he is repping the Untold Truth.

The date for the December S.F.U. run is still the 20th unless enough heads push it back like the Detox album.

December 27th?

or

January 3rd?

I can’t call it else I might spoil it.

Peep these recent acquisitions…

croatia

Dunk Hi Premium – Croatia a/k/a DRAZEN P’s
They should have never told me these joints were made to rep the Croatian national team. Them dudes is like the Golden State Warriors of the Caucasus Mountains.

$50 @ A.Jays – 8th Avenue & 36th Street

ponyboy

Dunk Lo Premium – Ponyboy Outsiders
The true story is that this classic coming of age tale by S.E. HINTON has two main characters that bear my government name and the name my family uses for me. No wonder I ended up in a gang, er, youth collective.

$40 @ Dr.JAY’s – Fulton Street, Brooklyn

premi blue

premi orange

Dunk Hi Premium
These joints are the high top versions of the Ponyboys. The upper has suede, premium leather, patined leather and a faux ponyskin material on the heel area. The insoles feature a Zoom Air unit.

They are being reduced at various stores and I want to copp at least one pair for about $40. That should be the going rate if not cheaper for the next S.F.U. NYC Tour. In the meantime I will continue to scout some new locations for us to fall through as well as some different styles that I see going up on clearance.

Sneaker Fiends Unite!

The sneaker game is getting overrun by dopplegangers and swagger jackers. I thought it was time for DP Dot Com to take a stand for all those heads that are true to the game. What game? I don’t know what game, but negroes love to say that shit.

I watched this video by Lil’ Boweasle where he described retro released kicks as “O.G.’s”. If this dude is opening a sneaker store and he doesn’t even know the classification terminology for sneaker heads he should kill himself.

Seeing all the hits that Bow Wow generated for his video made J.D. swagger jack his steez and up a video of his own…

So what I decided to do was to go in and straighten these two carpetbaggers out. I’m glad that they get all kinds of hot shit from NIKE for free, but if they can’t take a minute to find out what they are wearing they are bastardizing the game. What game? I have no fucking idea what game.

DALLAS PENN has spent his entire life coveting the minutae and the details for stupid shit like sneakers and Ralph Lauren clothing. There is no way that he is going to allow someone with celebrity status and no convictions the lane to come into the game and make it any more fucked the fuck up.

What game?!?

Who the fuck cares what game?

SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

doom foams

A while back we discussed the Fantastic 4 pack that NIKE released as an homage to the longest running title under the Marvel Comics imprint. The pack was pretty nice and each shoe held its own individually within their own particular style. I ended up copping the Air Max offerings. The Mr. Fantastic Air Max ’90 and the Human Torch A.M. ’95s.

The one shoe that I felt didn’t hold up its end of the storyline was the ‘Doomposite’.

How do you disrespect one of the baddest villains of all time by screwing up his colorways?

Maybe their designers had seen only the black and white renderings of the “new” Dr. Doom?

doom foams

I was resigned to the fact that NIKE didn’t get their shit right until someone became a MySpace friend of my sneaker collecting alter-ego HUF MAN KOOLS. This is when I saw the shoe that was supposed to be the “Doomposite”.

I need these Foamposites in my life.

doom foams

These joints are so sick that even Dr. Doom had to salute them with his Latverian pimp cup.

And that’s what’s up.

SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

The official inaugural Sneaker Fiends Unite! NYC Tour went down this weekend. A big shout out goes to Encylopedia Black, Nattiez, Zoey and Grand Master for coming through and repping S.F.U.

We traveled from midtown Manhattan to 149th Street and 3rd Ave in the Bronx, up further to Fordham Road, down to Frederick Douglass Blvd in Harlem, then to Delancey Street and finally to Spring Street.

The lesson I took from this weekend is that collecting and consuming are two different animals, and that the cheetah and the giraffe might just be the same (that was a totally inside [ll] joke).

The next SFU NYC Tour is set for December 20th where we hope to come up on some retailers desperate to liquidate their assets prior to the end of the year. In the meantime and in between time enjoy some of the footage from this past weekend…

THE NEW CLASSICS…

My mind has been so pre-occupied with sneaker acquisition I haven’t been hitting y’all off with that good-ggod info on POLO Ralph Lauren sales.

The POLO.COM website is where you can come up on the additional 15% (on top of the 40% off sale) when you use the code nov1319.

I’m not sure if the code ends today or on the 19th. In any case, here are a few of the I.T.’s that are on my wish list…

big pony polo

The ‘Big Pony’ polo knit will be a banger in the summertime. They also have this in a varsity red with navy colorblocking that is equally fly.

crest knit

I fucks with maritime themes all day because they remind me of my grandparents house in Newport, Rhode Island.

crest rugby

A crisp white rugby is soooooo mean. Plus peep all the embroidered details and the color blocked collar and cuffs.

I will be ecstatic when I get this I.T. from the mailman. Shit like this just makes me happy. I already know which sneakers I am going to rock with this joint.
