SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

Wednesday, July 25th, 2012

I kept my shit eye level for this latest Air Jordan retro release. I like the 7s, but not more than the 6s and if I had my choice I would score another pair of the Olympic 6s before I shell out for the Barcelona 7s. Yeah, yeah I know, “Jordan WORE the Barcelona 7s!”. Shut the fux up already!

I’m promising myself that I won’t do anymore lineup release videos because I feel like I might be a part of the problem why people are hyping over sub-par shoes. Maybe if I stopped caring then so would the kids? Ha! That will never happen since the machine put in place to make these kids nutts isn’t gonna stop hyping this shit up.

Sneakers might be the perfect storm of Madison Avenue marketing meets nostalgia. I catch the fever just like every other American. Now please watch my version of anti-hype HYPE.

The Dark Knight Rules…

Tuesday, July 24th, 2012

In Batman #244 we find him smitten with the daughter of Ra’as Al’Ghul. I can remember keenly getting a chubby reading this book and seeing this image at the ending. Batman was ’bout to get himself some pussy.

In the latest Batman movie, the final installment under the creative direction of Chris Nolan we get to see the return of Talia Al’Ghul to the Batman universe. She isn’t smoking hot anymore, but she is still the bomb (nuclear). Batman’s nemesis for this movie is the supervillain Bane. Well, this sounds like the way to end a groundbreaking trilogy. With a bang.

The Dark Knight Rises sisn’t suck and that is the most important thing you can do in a cinematic trilogy. Let’s be honest, nothing, nothing, NOTHING, is gonna be more hardbody than The Dark Knight. Heath Ledger’s Joker was that of legend. Nolan certainly understand the darkness that the Batman character deserved after years of campy, cheeky caricatures. My only complaints of this movie amount to style points but not to storyline.

Did you peep the references to central intelligence agency hired ‘contractors’ biting off more than they could chew in the opening scene? There were several references to the world we live in that made me laugh at the idea that Batman, like Tony Stark’s industrialist persona are both weapons dealers. These heroes are totally duplicitous problems. They put guns in the streets just to give themselves the work of trying to get guns off the streets.

Our real world totally intersected with the depravity of Gotham City and I feel like the Joker finally won. People are afraid of one another again, and worse, kids trying have fun doing cosplay will be subject to stop and frisk scrutiny. The Batman trilogy didn’t end with the Dark Knight Rises, but our American innocence did, if you were paying close attention.

SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

Friday, July 20th, 2012

Wasn’t it just two(2) weeks ago that Jordan Brand dropped the ‘Olympic’ VI’s? Well pictured above are the Barcelona 7s from USA Basketball’s 1992 Dream Team run. Only Jordan wore Air Jordan back then and Jordan wore out Croatia’s Toni Kukoc who would later become his teammate in Chicago.

Folks are lined up as usual but this time I will visit another store which I haven’t given the time of day recently – Modell’s. They will host a midnight release at their Times Square store so I’ll be right back on the Deuce after just leaving the screening of the Dark Knight Rises(meh).

While heads are hyping for the 7s I’ma try and see if I can track down one more pair of the Jordan 2012 ‘Year Of The Dragon’. The shoe was criminally slept on this year. If I can’t find another pair of 2012 YOTD’s I’ll prA’Li thirst out the Barcelonas, or maybe not. Stay tuned sneaker fiends.
