While the last bit of winter keeps an icy grip on the northeast I’m already plotting my takeover steez for the 2012 freeze.
Stay hungry like the wolf Internets.

Most of y’all know that Sean Price is an official Sneaker Fiend. Sean P’s love for kicks goes back to his Kangaroos with the zipper pouch on the side.
On the heels of the Nike x Questlove collabo that was inspired by the nasty Gordon Gartrelle shirt that Malcolm Jamaal-Warner rocked on the Cosby Show, Sean Price has created his own shoe designs.
Ravishing Ruck Rude is calling this project the ‘LeVar Burton Pack’. LOL.
No, really.
Here are the shoe designs…
‘Geordi’ Air Max 2011
These Air Max 2011 are so futuristic you can’t see them. And sadly, neither can Geordi LeForge.
Reading Rainbow Blazer
Pause [ll] to this design. Read a book nigga!
Kunta Kinte Kobe V
Red for the blood that was spilled. Black for the people stolen from Africa. Green for all the money they made America. Gold for the chains that Black folks love to wear. Just don’t call these Kobe’s Toby.
Spiderman’s comicbook debut just sold for over a cool million.
With this info I would advise some of you to dig thru your mother’s basements for your lottery tickets.
There’s a reason why the Timberland #10061 Workboot is one the most iconic pieces of footwear ever, similar to the black oxford. First and foremost, these boots put in work. Whatever your profession, from architect to contractor, engineer to foreman, you should own a pair of these shoes. The Timberland #10061 is the navy blue pinstriped suit for the real world.
Those of us that have owned several of these boots will attest to their ruggedness and durability, but we can also admit that if we wear these boots for too long they can begin to feel heavy on our feet. That was before Timberland decided to put their Anti-Fatigue technology into the insoles of these boots. Hallelujah holler back and game over.
After I wore the Earthkeeper City boots for a week I decided to write to Timberland to ask them if I could buy some of the Anti-Fatigue insoles to put inside some of my shoes. The Anti-Fatigue insoles support my fallen arches and also take a lot of pressure off my knees and my janky hip. If you’ve got flat feet you could really benefit from the use of the Anti-Fatigue system inside your footwear.
Timberland keeps innovating and improving upon their already classic footwear. Can you imagine the R&D monies they must put up for the new models? Don’t sleep on the Cadion series of hikers. They are already flexible and superlightweight. Once Timberland installs the Anti-Fatigue insole system into these boots it will feel like heaven on Earth.
*Side note: I love that the folks who get to try on these shoes as established style consultants are now referring to Tim boots by their style numbers. The Boot Camp Clique Chronicles must be on their radar.
The title of this J-Love album goes exactly how J walks thru NYC. This man is an egotistical maniac. But on the real J-Love is the hardest working man in the music industry. Don’t let his online persona fool you. J-Love is in the bodegas in Washington Heights to the African salons on Fulton Street in Bed Stuy.
You can say what you want about his flow, but this dude has his mixtapes in every shithole barbershop numbers dealer pisshole crack spot in NYC. And he put his tapes there HIMSELF. You better respect this man’s grind because your favorite rapper does, and that is why J-Love can get almost any feature he wants.
J-Love feat. Sean P, LA The Darkman, Willie The Kid – ‘Fuck That Man Up’
J-Love feat. Kool G Rap, Cormega, Roc Marciano – ‘Tricks Of The Streets’
J-Love’s ‘Egotisitical Maniac’ is filled with tracks like these two above. When you are large in the streets of NYC you can’t help but have a project filled with urban anthems and ghetto superstars. Copp ‘Egotistical Maniac’ from iTunes and support that hardbody NYC rap.
