SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

foamposities

Sean P and I mostly agree on shit when it comes to kicks (other than New Balance). We both have hell’a Dunks and Air Max and not so much Jordan brand shit. So I was surprised the other day when P sent me an e-mail describing the latest shoes on his wish list along with the joints that were receiving his vaunted “Emphatically 14 15” designation.

For those of you keeping score at home, when Ruck says “14 15” he is speaking on the 14th and 15th letters in the alphabet. The N and O. Non Cipher for all of you cats who are still 5-percenters. Nyet for my dude Dmitry Vortman and any other Russian heads up here on DP dot com. An emphatic 14 15 means that he wouldn’t get pictured in that item. Think Ricky Rothchild rugbys and the what not.

The shoes that P is fuxing with are the Air Force 1 Foamposites.

I don’t typically fux with Forces at all. I can count all my pairs of Forces on one hand. The idea of a foam Force was executed better with the ‘Forceposite’ design. These Air Force 1 Foamposites look like Frankenstein boots.

The shoes getting the ‘Emphatic 14 15’ are the Air Jordan Alpha 1 Outdoors FTLOTG (For The Love Of The Game – for those of you keeping score at home). I’m mad now because I fux with these joints. The Air Jordan Alpha 1 is being slept on by the masses.

What do y’all Sneaker Fiends think? Are you fuxing with the Air Force 1 Foams? Are you shitting on the Air Jordan Alpha 1s? Is that powder blue colorway not the bomb. I’ma let y’all decide.

The day grizzle has me up in some fancy spots again where I can’t walk around in sweatpants and a hoody.

To spruce up my summer steez and transform myself from a schlep to the quiet as kept prep school fool I caught these simple sole moccasins at the South Street Seaport for $40 cent.

Chocolate Snowflake’s co-sign was assured when she spotted the nautical theme inside of the moc’s insole lining. Not that she’s all shallow like that, but for the fact she knows that I am.

I’ve been having direct correspondence with Timberland over the past few weeks as I have tried to convince them to issue me a pair of moccasins in lieu of a return authorization that I have held with them for several years. A pair of sandals I bought failed me so I sent them back. Since the RA# that was created was for those sandals they won’t let me swap that out for the mocs.

Not even if I add some chips of my own.

At Timberland, a customer’s brand loyalty is only going to get you as far as a free pair of laces. Heaven forbid I might should take advantage of them. I’m happy with my mocs tho’ even if they aren’t the classic three-eye joints with the lug sole. The next order of business now is to satisfy this existing RA# before they cancel it. All this weblogging and TWitting I do about their products isn’t the kind of PR they really want.

I should be more like DirtyJerz and photograph my collection in front of a gorgeous waterfall backdrop.

I reviewed the sandal offerings available right now on the Timberland website and I ended up feeling the Front Country Adventure Sandal. This sandal speaks to my aspirations of returning back to my friend’s upstate cabin where I run thru the forest mostly naked except for a Polo Sport knit hat and a pair of Timberland on my feet, natch.

So tell me internets, which color do I choose?

Peep this beautiful NYC shit…

I’m standing at the busstop this morning bright and early on my way to work. This dude walks up to me directly and tells me that he has 20 crates of albums for sale. I scan dude’s steez and he looks like he just came up from a basement, prA’li his moms. He’s wearing a dirty white tee, dusty ass jeans and a super scuffed pair of adidas.

My reply to holmes was, “good for you.”

He just looked at me and nodded on some bruh man from the fifth floor shit.

“I just wanted you to post that on your blog.”**

ROFL!!!! No doubt homey. See you tomorrow.

BIG RECORD SALE
Hip-Hop, Rap, Reggae, R&B, a touch of jazz, Disco, etc.

Getting Too Old For This Shit…

On Tuesday night Chocolate Snowflake and I had made plans to have dinner with a couple of her friends. After a few bottles of wine and some delicious pasta I decided to take the night off from my usual routine of staying awake until 5am and posting drops on the page. This allowed me to get some really good rest and look like a human at the day job instead of a homeless person (a quote from a co-worker).

Wednesday evening afterwork found me with the IC crew and our big homey, Jesse Thorn from The Sound of Young America. Jesse fux with us hardbody. We went out to the $.20cent wingspot and ordered 80 wings and two(2) pitchers of Yuengling. After that we fell thru Rich Medina’s party and chilled for a few. Rich had the deep soul grooves spinning and the IC’s were doing what we like to do most… Winning. The night originally called for all of us to convene at CitiField for the Mets v. Padres matchup but the rain changed that maneuver.

Thursday night wasn’t as rainy so I took C.S. to CitiField with the unused tickets from the previous night. The Mets young pitcher John Niese nearly pitched his own version of a perfect game but all the news stories about the event have been focused on Lady Gaga’s appearance at the game and the shit she was getting into. Which goes to show you that if you go to a beisbol game and do some ghey shit you are far better off than a group of guys trying to make a documentary.

So now it’s Friday night and I should be getting ready to go somewhere and spend the money I should be applying to my cellphone bill, or my light bill, or heaven forbid my gotdamn rent. Instead I’m here in the basement checking on all the shit that has been happening in the world since the last drop I posted a month ago. Oh what? It wasn’t a month ago you say? It was only two(2) days ago, but it feels like its been such a long time. Thanks to Diesel, $yk, Grand$, get, LionXL, Jerz, LM, Foster, ‘Spekt and everyone who kept the light on over here.

It’s summertime in NYC.

Ghetto Big Mac III Coming Soon…

If you think the Internets Celebrities are resting on their laurels after the critical success of ‘Stadium Status’ you are sorely mistaken. The final episode of the Ghetto Big Mac trilogy is the next target for a shooting schedule. But first, what will be GBM-3?

Ghetto Big Mac is legendary (Oh snizzap! Peep the tag ‘nigger’)

And the Futuristic Brunch is a slept on classic.

So the question remains… What is the final Ghetto Big Mac movie?
