The Heat Is On… Hollywood

Thursday, June 2nd, 2011

The Heat’s ‘Big Three’ is some more showtime shit engineered by Pat Riley.

But do they play the physical defense like the Riley era Knicks?

Do they inspire a city by their work ethic or their tennis shoes?

Nope, the Miami Heat are Hollywood.

Just Ask Dontrevius Wenters.

L.R.G. R.I.P.

Thursday, June 2nd, 2011

The co-founder and the creative vision for the L.R.G. clothing line passed away yesterday.

I actually met dude at a party in the Jeff Staple store Reed Space. Any of you still have the LRG etched Courvosier cognac glasses that I mailed out please give up a prayer for Jonas Bevacqua.

Jonas was cool and humble and talked about the inspiration that Polo Ralph Lauren gave him as a kid coming up. When he got the chance to create his own line of gear he flipped a design out of respect to the lifestyle.

I caught that piece pictured above at AJ Wright for mere pennies and eBayed it for a princely sum. You have to really respect the P.R.L. line he was shouting out. 1992 was one of the greatest years in the lifestyle.

Jonas Bevacqua, Rest In Polo

Wednesday, June 1st, 2011

From comic books to kicks Sean P has the game on smash.

Ruck’s sneaker designs have been inspired by some of the great African American matinee stars. Peep the LeVar Burton and Billy Dee Williams packs.

For the final pack from Sean Price’s cinematic heroes sneaker pack we look to none other than the great baritone voice of actor James Earl Jones.

Darth Vader Shox BB Pro
Luke will definitely be getting sonned when Darth Vader steps in the paint wearing these Shox.

King Jaffe Joffer Air Max 90
These Air Max 90s put the zoom in Zamunda.

Thulsa Doom Trainer 1
These shoes were made for plundering and pillaging and that is why Nike calls them the Trainer 1 ‘Unleashed’.

Dazzler’s Got A Pretty Mouf…

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011

Bill Sienkewicz is the GOAT comic cover artist

Don’t ask me how I got into a TWitter conversation with Sean Price about Dazzler?!? Ruck is on his comicbook steez even harder than his sneaker fiending.

If I was writing a Dazzler movie I would cast Blake Lively as Dazzler.

She has a pretty mouf.

In this Dazzler movie her superpower is to blow a nigga’s mind.

Literally.

SNEAKER FRIENDS UNITE!

DJ Greg Street is hosting his annual sneaker head gathering in Atlanta. This is something NOT to be missed if you like in the A.

As a matter of fact, this is something you don’t want to miss wherever you are from. The Shoe Game will be in the building hardbody, as of course Greg Street’s ATF brethren – Clark Kent, Mayor, ALL DAY, and Dave Jeff. SneakerTUBE.tv’s Premium Pete is even making the trip to the A.

Rightfully so as well because Greg Street is one of the game’s number one collector curators. Just take a look at some of his kicks…
