Newmanati Goes Shoeminati…

Sunday, August 5th, 2012

The KixPo sneaker and streetwear convention was amazing. Firstly, I met some friends from the TWitterverse. Secondly, I stepped on the field that the Dallas Cowboys play football on. The stadium is an undeniable cathedral to sports and entertainment. Sure, the people of Arlington and getting shellacked with taxes to maintain the spaceship, but damn it was glorious.

I put on my 2012 Year Of The Dragon Air Jordans. I’ve loved them ever since I got my hand on them. I popped tags on a Polo RL Modern Explorer knit with a dragon screen print.

I put on a compression sleeve on my right arm with the knowledge that my arm would fatigue from holding the handycam all day filming Sean Price shenanigans. I also donned a layer of DRI-fit cotton between my fine Polo wares and my undershirt sweat collection system. Texas was hotter than Hades. I don’t know how heads keep their icy sole kicks from melting in that heat.

I used the medium elevation insoles in my Air Jordan system. I also rocked a nice little G-Shock I picked up this week.

It took me several hours to upload my video footage from the day. I’ll post that recap video along with some video treats from Sean P later this week. Stay logged on to DP.com and keep those kicks crispy.

Oh and yeah, sneaker fiends… Holler at me for your custom Sneaker Fiends Unite! buttons via the Houston homey Waio713. I call this required summer swag.

No Recession For Romance…

My family from Beatric Films came to NYC and spent some time with the kid. I imparted them with some of that classic dP street swag and cuffing season secrets.

Still Golden…

Stevie Wonder – ‘Golden Lady’

Florence Griffith-Joyner was a cosmic queen.

She was beautiful and powerful and sexual and visceral.

You couldn’t take your eyes off this woman if you tried and she was also an unapologetically Black blur. What I mean is that NO ONE could see her.

Flo-Jo’s swag was so official too.

Flo-Jo never slandered her regality by posing for Playboy

Flo-Jo is still undefeated in my eyes

SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

Friday, August 3rd, 2012

KixPo is going down tomorrow and I CAN NOT WAIT to walk on the field at Cowboys Stadium. This is prA’Li one of the top five things I’ve dreamed about in my life, including marrying Vanessa Williams, becoming an X-Man, having all my Polo pieces from 87-92 in a size 3XL and owning an Abrams tank as my personal car.

I’m already laying out the blueprint…

The New Era cap tops off this ‘fit perfectly.

If you are going to be in Dallas and you need my cell number leave a comment. Jerz, I see you.
