These are the shoes I want to be wearing when the pale horse appears and the end of the world pops off.
The New Balance 710 hiker might be the only shoes you can outrun an earthquake, jump over a volcano or surf a tsunami in. LOL

Cookie Monster Lifestyle…
Tuesday, July 12th, 2011
The Uni badge and the Cookie patch are my favorite all time Polo Ralph Lauren insignias. Mainly because you had to be extra thorough to own them in New York City. No clowns or suckas were rocking those I.T.s in the 1980s. Nowadays I can’t call it, but at the same time I’m glad we don’t live in those times anymore. Some might argue that we still do after the recent spate of violence surrounding the Air Foamposite sneakers.
The Uni and Cookie designs features garments in dazzling sport colorways. True blue, racer red, sport yellow colorblocked to perfection. The Polo USA embroidery on the sleeves or chest is what set these pieces off. From time to time I see them on eBay in extra schmedium sizes. Ralph Lauren needs to retro these old patches I.T.s like right now.
It’s The ROC Bitches!
Wednesday, July 6th, 2011
Jay-Z’s peeps at Roc-A-Wear invited me to their NoLita pop-up space to preview the re-launch of the brand from it’s previous streetwear focus to an upscale men’s fashion line.
The only clothing brand which emerged from Hip-Hop that was able to legitimately cross that threshold was Sean John. Phat Farm and Karl Kani both had items which transcended their Hip-Hop roots but the lines themselves never went above them. That is definitely Roc-A-Wear’s aim this time around.
The folks from Roc-A-Wear were also generous enough to gift me with several items too so if you are someone on my snail mail list you might should watch the throne, er, your mailbox I meant.

I did a walk thru of one of NYC’s most venerable sneaker fiend locations and CAME UP on some summer freshness. Modell’s has the OG $20 table which is sneaker fiends retail therapy heaven.
I might not have the most heat in the game when it comes to Jordans and Foamposite styles, but you can bet your bottom dollar I am still the King of the Come Up.
