You must prQA’li think I’m pretty didactic when it comes to talking about footwear and specifically boots. Well I am. I live for this shit. And I live for the hybrid boot – trail runner – sneakers which come from the Nike All Conditions Gear brandway.
Peep these Air Talaria boots I come up on for $34.99 thanks to my friends at Cork Clothing. Cork posts Nike outlet deals on the daily. Make sure you subscribe to their e-mail feed so that you stay plugged in.
I copped these Deion Sanders signature shoes because I saw the homey from The Shoe Game (G-Roc Smith) rocking these joints.

Big up to iLLiLL who stays on me to keep the Lifestyle posts updated… He doesn’t contribute a single $1 to the prA’li fund tho’, but I’ll allow that his comments are an effective currency and drop motivator. So this is how I stepped out with Chocolate Snowflake on Easter Sunday.
We went to brunch at a local restaurant called Cheryl’s for their prix fixe fare and mimosas. The day was outrageously gorgeous and we both felt like walking around Brooklyn. I offered that we should take a trip to the DeKalb Market which is adjacent to the former Albee Square Mall site. I also had a pair of shoes with me which I wanted to shoot in a video with Fulton Mall as the backdrop.
The DeKalb Market was actually poppington and there was a booth selling $1 mimosas so I kept my drunken brunch fleaux in full effect. I didn’t dandy myself up this weekend since I haven’t been feeling to fresh to def lately. Y’all don’t need to hear my issues tho’ because I’m sure you don’t come here to feel worse either. LOL.
iLLiLL: As far as copping anything from the Commodoire series… Nope. I saw a few pieces I liked, but I didn’t press myself to spend on that series since I have so much shit already in my archives in the red, white and blue Americana colorways as you may have seen from the recent weblog posts. I might end up with something from the Commodore series if it filters down to the secondary outlets, but I’m still getting my chips together for more Modern Explorer I.T.’s.
The Brooklyn Museum of Art may have reached critical mass for their First Saturday events. This was the first time I can remember the doors being closed even before the dance party had started. What is this place gonna look like during the summer?
I met up with one of the producers from the Put This On web series and he was impressed with the number of people at the event and how many folks had come thru in their fanciest wares. I wasn’t going to overdo it on this evening because I fully expected to dance my ass off to deejay Junior Vasquez house mix, but the high heels were definitely up in the building.
The flash never lies as you can see I spilled something on my shirt. The trick to enjoying yourself at the museum is to bring yourself a flask or some sort of stowaway beverage because the line at the bar stay on bananas.
Call me a bird ass museum-goer since I didn’t even walk thru the Haring show. LOL. I’m actually having a small dinner party in May and I’ll be walking the exhibit then. I’ll prA’li have on another pair of Reeboks too. These kicks are so comfortable they are the perfect antidote for museum marble tile floors.
I think this is a first for me on video where I not only have several different styles of shoes featured but also from several different manufacturers.
I’m showing adidas Rod Lavers, the Reebok Insta-Pump Fury x Mita collaboration, Nike volleyball Air Trainers and my OG grail Air Tech Challenge 3/4s. I’m all over the place, but at the end of the day its all about copping what you like and being true to your style.
