SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

Monday, June 11th, 2012

You didn’t get the Air Yeezys either? Well don’t despair because Cork Clothing is always on the look out for a comeup and they posted a sick deal right now on the Air Jordan 2011s.

The Air Jordan 2011s come with two(2) interchangeable insoles which determine your overall feel and response while wearing the shoes. I actually own both of these colorways but I’m considering picking up another pair of the white and Black just because the price is $100 off the MSRP

OUTLET UPDATE “JORDAN 2011″

Louisville Factory
1 (502) 893-8199

$69.99 wht/Blk (436771-101)

$79.99 wht/red (436771-602)

Here’s how Cork Clothing’s Nike Outlet Updates work…

Cork posts the images of the shoes with their style number and the Nike Outlet location where they can be found. All you have to do is call the outlet and ask if they have your size. The outlet will ship the shoes to you for the standard UPS shipping rate ($7-$10 depending on distance).

I typically add $13 to the posted price which includes taxes and S/H.

This is how I have been keeping my archives stocked thanks to Cork Clothing.

Now you too can have major plug [ll].

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.

More Regatta Lifestyle…

Sunday, June 10th, 2012

The big homey and senior editor from Hip-Hop Wired, Alvin Blanco, invited me to take a run with him to the Woodbury Commons Premium Outlets. I hadn’t been to Woodbury in a couple of years so I was down to see what the scene looked like.

Blanco knew a secret route to take up to the outlets also. Now he’s got me fiending to fall thru New Jersey again to hit up some of the spots we encountered on the way. The outlets weren’t too shabby. I saw a few pieces I wanted to step to but unfortunately everything was in a size schmedium.

Polo Ralph Lauren still had some pieces from the Ocean Challenge series and I wasn’t mad at the colorways for the Australian set so I copped it and a teddy bear towel. The ticket prices were meh but this weekend was 30% off for Father’s Day and the add’l 20% for Polo.com members.

I’ll have to rock this ensemble when I go to visit the king of Australia, Robbie from UnKut.

Captain America Comeups…

Wednesday, June 6th, 2012

As the great emancipation holidays approach for the nation and for the collective Black asses of African Americans I wanted to point your eyes and ears in the direction of another TJX Corp branded off-price department store – TJ Maxx.

They are holding some big pony knits in various nation states and since I value my USA dollars over all others I choose to spend them on a shirt which tells you where I’m from as opposed to where I’d like to travel.

This is the normal lane for Ralph Lauren offerings at the TJX family of stores. Something nice from a season past at a price too low NOT to copp even if the XXL ‘Custom Fit’ can sometimes look like a sports bra on my frame.

I, Too, Sing America Lifestyle…

Tuesday, June 5th, 2012

I, too, sing America.

I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.

Tomorrow,
I’ll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody’ll dare
Say to me,
“Eat in the kitchen,”
Then.

Besides,
They’ll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed–

I, too, am America.

-Langston Hughes

Sneaker Fiends Unite District chapter president JaiSlayer sends us some pics from his upcoming Independence Day aka Juneteenth outfit architecture and it reminds me why I also rock hard with the freedom lifestyle.

I, too, sing America.
