SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

The Dunk X-Change is becoming one of the hottest sneaker events in the city. Sneaker heads use the event to get F.R.E.S.H. and style on the competition. Collectors bring out some of their sexiest pairs in order to strike a deal (trade) or make a sale with another sneaker fiend.

I am in the market for a few pairs of Dunks myself so I want to see what the scene is holding in my size…

Some sellers have tables set up with their wares while other more enterprising sellers walk through the crowd holding their pairs for sale up in the air.

As the DJ spins all the latest and greatest Hip-Hop anthems the crowd inside the venue starts to heat up. I take a break by going outside to get a better look at the uniforms of sneaker heads.

As you can see, Supreme is the business. It’s good to see all the girls that are becoming part of the lifestyle too. Girls shit always looks hot when the chick that rocks it has a pile of style.

A lot of sneaker fiends are shy folks and when you tell them that you have an internets website that features sneakersit usually opens them up.

OH WORD Dot Com Steals CAM’s Rhyme Book!

Thursday, April 12th, 2007

We all knew that CAM’RON GILES was Harlem’s next great Nobel poet laureate after LANGSTON HUGHES, COUNTEE CULLEN and PAUL LAWRENCE DUNBAR. Hell, we even featured some of his profundity here at DP Dot Com.

DIPSET DEEP THOUGHTS by CAM’RON GILES

But nothing on the internets can compare to the amazing coup that was OH WORD Dot Com getting hold of CAM’s rhyme book. It’s awesome power is like possessing the Shroud of Turin x the M’Kraan crystal. Inside the rhymebook are some of CAM’s sickest verses as well as the plans to his ultra-megatastic-iller-than-illmatic CAMborghini spaceship. OH WORD understands that the power inside this rhymebook might just save Hip-Hop if it is freely given to all of rap music’s fans. It is with their generous benevolence that I link you all to…

Extra nullus to that headline…

You have seen my proclivity for POLO and NIKE Air Max but I don’t think I have shown you how serious shit can really get. When you are a representative for the classic streetwear lifestyle you have to touch all the bases just to show the kids how it’s done properly. If the weather had been warmer this past weekend I was gonna hurt the streets with a dandy little Easter outfit.

Pictured below is a pair of Easter Egg Air Max 180 along with a cotton mesh POLO knit top and a pair of NIKE Dri-Fit knit socks. I also prah’lee would have popped the tags on a pair of Levis that I caught on clearance at Marshalls ($7.00 bitches!).

I.T.'s

The outfit is sharp and clean but I needed a chapeau to top off this setup properly. Real men should always wear a hat on the first day of the week anyhoo in deference to AUM, the bringer of life. I know I wanted a fitted cap to spice this look and I knew where I had to go to copp the right one.

richies

RICHIE’s on Delancey Street is one of the holdover sneaker and streetwear emporiums from the real days of the L.E.S. There are so many sneaker boutiques in the area now, but RICHIE’s keeps it realer than most. On a good day you can catch some Dunks up in there for forty or even thirty cent. And since they are part of that classic Delancey Street network you can politic your prices with the manager. If I am copping two I.T.’s you best believe I am getting some money knocked off top. That’s one of the main reasons I loved shopping in Paris. Middle East cats love to haggle over price and since I am Hebrew that shit is in my bloodline.

RICHIE’s has more fitted caps than the New Era store and his prices are way better. Amidst the flood of Yankee caps I find the joint that I am going to fucks with on my setup. Lucky for me RICHIE’s is having a sale and the joint is only $10 cent.

Aww shit y’all! Holler at a clean azz, dandy azz nigga when you see him on the streets.
