NIKE is a fucking beast. Just when you think that you have a moment to breathe they put their foot back on your throat with some sick new shit. NIKE has created a package of shoes to match up with one of Marvel comics greatest superhero teams – The FANTASTIC FOUR.
The Fantastic Four were a group of astronaut scientists that went for a joy ride through some cosmic radiation. Their DNA became altered and when they returned to Earth they found that each of them had acquired some type of super power. The leader, Mister Fantastic had gained the ability to stretch his body into almost any shape. Ben Grimm, turned into a rock like creature called the Thing. Guess what powers the Invisible Girl ande the Human Torch had. The arch enemy of the Fantastic Four was Viktor Von Doom, better known as Doctor Doom. The Fantastic Four is Marvel Comics longest running series and I think they deserved a series of sneakers from my favorite brand.
THE HUMAN TORCH – AIR MAX ’95
How sick are these?!? NIKE premium leather in a fiery colorway. The Human Torch was a favorite of the ladies and I don’t see why any lady wouldn’t want to rock these joints.
THE INVISIBLE GIRL – AIR FORCE 1
Clear upper?!? Get your mind right and recognize that NIKE can’t be touched. How you gonna fuck with them when you can’t even see them?
THE THING – DUNK HI
Premium leather all around, these are also the most available shoes in the series, going out as a general release to almost all NIKE accounts. I am a Dunk fan from forever so I am on the fence right now about copping these joints or digging a little deeper to come up on these…
MISTER FANTASTIC – AIR MAX ’90
I love the Air Max products because they are the most comfortable and stylish shoes from the Swoosh brand. I will be honest and say that I wanted a little more blue accent to be placed on this product for BLU CHEEZ’ tastes (you know he loves that shit). I will have to see what these joints look like with cheesy laces.
Move Along… Nothing To See Here…

NYC has finally come from under the storm clouds so I am getting my azz dressed and out the door. If you are home reading this shit I admonish you to come up from the basement of your parents’ house and go outside. There has to be some blogging supply that you need to refill. How about a trip to Chipotle?
Looks like G DUBBZ is slowly getting his approval rating back up. Killing some Black arab badguys was always good for a few points. People made such a big deal about the president’s approval rating being the lowest for any sitting president, but that was a case of people not using the proper perspective in the first place. Only fifty percent of the country approved of G DUBBZ in the first place so to dip down to thirty four percent wasn’t like going to a place that he couldn’t naturally get to. Killing terrorists, hating on immigrants, banning gay marriage and railing against abortion is the grand slam for today’s mainstream politics. With that being said all you pitchers for pro-choice are on the mound next. I hope youv’e been taking your steroids.
BARRY BONDS, I feel bad for you for the simple fact that O.J. SIMPSON at least got to kill a couple of white before he could be ‘America’s Most Hated On Negro’. All you did was go into partnership with MLB and BUD SELIG and try to restore the country’s faux love affair with baseball. The way the MLB via the assistance of sportwriters have turned on you like spoiled, well-fed pitbulls should go down as one of the all-time classic double crosses. No where near the level of PETER MINUIT and the Dutch jacking Manhattan island, but that was a time way before the internets.
So I am off to play in the sun on my shiny new skateboard. I hope you kids have fun today too. Keep in mind that a margerita at Chipotle for only $3.75 is like finding a Happy Hour on a Saturday afternoon.
MEXICANS GONE WILD!!!
Friday, June 9th, 2006
I suggest you people hold on to your SideKicks if you are visiting New York City this weekend. For two days every year in June the city is turned over to roving mobs of Puerto Rican Mexicans as they parade and celebrate their home island’s existance as the last remaining American colony.
This means that come rain or shine there will be modified Honda Civics with flags draped on their hoods and less clothing material per square inch of ass area than the Bahamas. Since I love crowds and since I have a predilection for groping anonymous strangers I should have some decent photos to upload by the end of the weekend.
Santiago’s Kids Are Sicker Than Your Average…
Friday, June 9th, 2006
Have any of you peeped the situation in Chile regarding the student protests for school reforms? This is the best sign to me that the world is not going to end under the weight of lazy, stupid people that support an Administration that does nothing for them. I couldn’t even begin to imagine a half-million students in America demanding that their voice be heard for something more substantial than “I want my MTV!”
These kids in Chile are beefing because the education system there is not accessible to all classes of citizens. The kids in the city are standing up for the poor kids in the mountains, and the working class kids on the farms. It’s not just on the grade school level that these kids are pushing for reforms. but for the right to have access to affordable higher education also. Chile kids are so 180 degrees more realer than anything that wears a du-rag and baggy jeans on this side on the hemisphere. This is so powerful that I need to rethink including Chile as part of the Mexican diaspora. I can’t remember Mexicans ever protesting because they wanted to be more educated. Even my boy TONY feels like he’s already learned enough English for a lifetime.
This week the Chilean president took a break from her country’s issues to visit the White House and shoot the shit with G DUBBZ. Did you see how homey doesn’t even get out of his seat to shake her hand. That’s like saying, “Whatever bitch, you can’t even control your child population because you don’t have electricity for televisions.”
