RANDOM AXE ALL THE WAY LIVE…

As I’ve told you a thousand times, Polo Ralph Lauren is built around the aspiration for wealth that Ralph Lifschitz internalized as a child growing up to working class parents in the Bronx. Polo has taken on a life and legend of it’s own and that legend continues to grow as the brand attaches itself to the benchmarks of high society.
There is no organized sport older than the regatta and the oldest trophy in the sport of sailing belongs to the America’s Cup race. Sailors and seamen [ll] from all over the world compete for the prized chalice aboard multi-million dollar yachts. If you thought taking care of a stable of polo ponies was expensive then you ain’t built for the America’s Cup.
To pay his respect to this classic gentleman’s sport Polo Ralph Lauren is releasing a series of knits that will set the summer off right.
I’m trying to choose which one(s) will find their way into my archive.
I also just peeped this red/blue colorblocked regatta knit. FIYAHVERKS!!!
Ralph Lauren jacked my patch swag but I ain’t mad.
If you ever have a good idea make sure you have another one.
The Boot Camp Clique Chronicles…
Wednesday, May 25th, 2011
Just because the weather is warming up doesn’t mean you have to take off your Timberland. A summer boot is the key to life(style). A four season boot means your swag isn’t just 360 degrees but also 365 days.
The high top (chukka) deck moccasin is just that shoe. You won’t look so crazy either when you rock your shorts with these shoes. And for good measure I dropped a pair of my favorite trekkers in this video clip to boot.
SNW FTW…

Smif N Wesun’s new project with Pete Rock is more than monumental. It is historical. SNW is so representative of their label DuckDown because they haven’t left the game. I’m sorry that I never look at SNW at one of rap’s greatest all-time duos because they haven’t left rap alone, the game needs them.
The game needs this album. Pete Rock’s percussion driven sound is a perfect match for the hard lyrics which Tek And Steele employ. This is the kind of music you listen to on your Sony Walkman with the headphones that have scotch tape holding them together. But it doesn’t sound like 1992 rap music. You just happen to still have a cassette player with scotch taped headphones.
The Monumental album is more like a house party for rappers who spit hard shit hosted by the Cocoa Bruvas. Ruck and Rock from Heltah Skeltah come over to party at different times. So does Styles P and Freeway. Memphis Bleek has a feature on this album and it might just be his hardest verse evar. This is backpack hoody rap for the grown ups and kids alike.
DuckDown Records will own the month of June with the release of the Random AXE album, Skyzoo’s mixtape ‘The Great Debaters’ and this monumental Smif N Wessun x Pete Rock collaboration.

SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!
Friday, May 20th, 2011
Dr.Jays might prA’li be my favorite sneaker retail location in the city. They have one of the best Nike accounts in town and they never charge you anything over box price no matter how hyped the sneaker might be. This includes all Jordan releases and event the Air Yeezy.
Dr.Jays still operates like a mom and pop store where the employees know your name and more importantly your shoe size. This is why I fux with the flagship store on 34th Street. As soon as I walk in my homeboy Sid tells me what they have in stock in my size.
I’m happy that Dr.Jays re-opened their flagship store on West 34th Street yesterday. It was always my favorite shop because it was a quick walk down Fifth Avenue from the Lord & Taylor men’s store and a block away from Macy*s Polo section. After shopping I just hop on the #2 train to Chocolate Snowflake’s house or catch the LIRR at Penn Station out to my rest.
If the world doesn’t come to an end this weekend I’m putting myself on a training regimen for the summer. And by training regimen I mean wearing mostly cross-trainers this summer. Bo Jackson, Penny Hardaway and Ken Griffey retros are flooding the streets and I am caught up in the nostalgia. Check these styles…
Air Trainer SC II
I wasn’t fuxing with this colorway at first but then I started to come around to the look. These might end up being be my handball high performance kicks for the summer.
Air Max Penny
There is something about these shoes that when you rock them with shorts and black socks it just looks official
Air Trainer Huarache
Please don’t sleep on these limited edition retros. Subtle hits of black and grey are all suede. These are the cross-trainers you wear with a tuxedo.
Air Griffey Max II
Jr.’s signature shoes had so much flavor to have brothers rocking that teal colorway hardbody. The only thing I ever had to match up with these shoes colorwise was a Florida Marlins fitted. I’m still copping tho’.
Peace to Franalations and ShoeWolf who also attended the grand re-opening of Dr.Jays
For those of you who can’t make it to the Big Apple you can always fux with Dr.Jays online
