I finally came up on this pair of Air Max 24-7 from the Air Max Attack Pack.
SneakerCON NYC is popping off today so you might come up on something you missed from back in the day.

Combat Jack got me a placement in the latest The Source magazine. Forget all those articles I wrote for that Next Level magazine, this right here is what I am considering to be my first official piece.
It’s about the history of the Super Soaker which turned 20 this year. Did you know a Black dude had invented these joints? Here’s to hoping that Combat Jack can get me some more placements before its all said and done.
Pick up a copy of The Source and help support my sneaker acquisitions. Thank you.
Happy Juneteenth Internets…

Can you imagine the news of negroidian emancipation being broadcast via the internets?
There would never have been a Juneteenth celebration.
Black people TWitter would have blown its mind.

Polo Ralph Lauren clothing is all about the aspiration for being something greater than you are. For being classier, for being worldlier, for being a better athlete. That dude from the Dos Equis commercials, he wears ONLY Polo Ralph Lauren.
So when news outlets began reporting on the trend for Mexican youth to crave these items as an imitation of the high profile drug traffickers who were caught wearing these shirts they quickly missed the point.
Polo Ralph Lauren is crafted to describe wealth. The kind of wealth that even drug traffickers aspire to attain. Think about who in the world plays the sport of polo? Kings and royalty and the uber-riche. Yeah, the same rich fux who compete in yacht races.
For working class and poor people alike we dream of one day living a lifestyle so lavish and leisurely that we might not be able to wait until it finally happens. Donning a Polo Ralph Lauren shirt, or in the most extreme cases of poverty, a bootleg version, gives us that tiny little bit of status we need to get thru our miserable lives.
