I have been OD’ing on the native American prints lately, and these Air Jordan retro 3s have the springtime flair you need on your feet.

Maybe I’ll find some lifestyle to complement these kicks better, but for the meantime and in between time I’m gonna have to go Navajo when I retro.

YELE >>> Y.O.L.O.

This might be my favorite Combat Jack Show of all time. Okay, the Redman ep is still my favorite since I smoked kush with the god, but this work here with Wyclef rivals that since a few nights later I sat in the studio with ‘Clef and listened to parts of his next project.

Wyclef inspires me because he has never abandoned his roots no matter where his journey has taken him. He remained a conduit for people from the ghetto to have their voices heard, and not in a pandering, victimized POV, but a resilient, triumphant yell. Don’t say shit to me about Yele unless you know what it takes to quell the violence in Haiti long enough to let people come inside of that country to administer relief.

Wyclef will eventually get his due from the people he wants it from the most. Us. I’m already saluting this general, as should you. YELE >>> Y.O.L.O.

Peace Out To Harriet Tubman…

Just let me get this to you clear and off the top…

Harriet Tubman would have rocked a performance shoe.

She would def have chosen the ‘Lock Down’ aspect of the Melo M9 because she would have wanted her feet to be secure whilst she was making those moves to freedom. If Melo gets an MVP award for this season it will be because just like Harriet Tubman he led some wayward negros to the promised land.

You gotta change the names of your sneakers to shit YOU fux with and not necessarily fuxing with the marketing that the manufacturer promotes. At the end of the day you are still consuming but you aren’t being consumed. There is a difference.

This is why I call these Nike sportswear shoes my Advanced Reconnaissance Commando Foamposites after the clone troopers who served the Old Republic on the Hoth system.
