The big homey from the website PardonMeDuke had asked me to show off some of the other styles that I rocks other than just always beating y’all in the head with my Dunks collection. That’s not even a problem for me since I got many styles like Wu-Tang.
A few months ago NIKE released the above pictured shoe as part of a pack called ‘One Time Only‘. These are hybrid Air Max shoes because they combine the air soles of an Air Max 360 with the upper designs of some of the previous classic Air Max styles. I’m a big fan of the Air Max ’90 so when I have the chance to copp a pair of joints that has the style of the Air Max ’90 and the comfort of the Air Max 360 I go all in.
This is my latest pair of hybrid Air Max. It has premium NIKE leather and suede and 3M scotchlite material along the front. The A.M. 360 sole is like walking around on bubble wrap. Don’t get mad ‘cuz I’m stylin’ on you, just go out and copp you a pair of NIKE Air Max ’90 360’s.
Dallas, As a man witha wife, daughter and several nieces one thing you will see in every corner, drawer, nook, cranny and slice of my house is shoes. These women buy shoes like it is a religious ritual, like the balance of the Earth’s center of gravity depended on it. The live for, talk about and vibe off shoes. The more expensive the better. For the past ten years I have given my wife and daughter expensive shoes for their birthday and Christmas (and it never costs me a dime, all I do is find a box of expensive, unopened shoes hidden under a bed or behind the couch, take off the tag, wrap them in some gaudy paper with a big bow and MERRYXMASHAPPYBIRTHDAY is in full effect.) The reason I’m going there is because in my head as a man who has 4 pair of foot wear which includes two pair of dress shoes circa 2000 and 2 pair of sneakers circa 1995 I feel that men tripping over shoes is FEMININE as FUCK (FAF). Rappers with their earrings, bracelets, shiny rings, foot wear collection and Pink Suits, ties and shirts are the essence of FAF . Maybe cause I’m old school, or just too hood or just too grimy, but seeing a generation of men getting manicures, wearing 2 big diamond (or zir-coon-ion) earrings, getting their hair cut for $40.00 a shot and tripping over their shoes makes me think of the rap Song “I See The Bitch In You” which I think was by Common before he started wearing Cashmere pink caps and matching fitted sweaters. Just my thoughts. Peace, Ernie Paniccioli author of “Who Shot Ya?”
^ Yeah big homey you are old school for life. You were old school when old school when still new school.
For a minute, suspend the reality that you exist in and transport yourself to my side. Your’e a friggin’ artist for crissakes! Can’t you see the artistry in modern day sneakers? From the industrial design standpoint you might be looking at the height of our evolution. Ernie, there’s no more rubber inside the shoe. IT’s AIR! The niggas have placed air inside a shoe and are charging you for it!
I’ve spent my life amassing collections of things that I found entertaining from baseball cards, to comic books, to sweaters with bears knitted on them, to fancy sneakers. Always looking for that next art to collect and showcase. And just like Hip-Hop, I don’t stop the body rock.
How many daughters did you say you have???
Dream of all dream jobs=nike design tank
just when i think, “i’m good”, “this last pair will hold me over for a while”, “ok THIS is the pair that i wanted”….nike goes ahead and reup’s on me…now in the link up the AF 25 B True College Pack……and Rutger’s is in fullllllll effect!

it’s a wonder i held out on th 25’s for so long, but now there’s no excuse….o and BIGGGG UPS to the Rutgers Ladies for upsetting # 1 Duke…BOOOYAAKAKAAAA!
I collect books. Books on the incredible science and math behind the Pyramids (I know they were made by Blacks or whites would force us to have tattoos of the things on our asses at birth) and The JFK Assassination (ass-ass-in our nation) which schooled me on the lies, bullshit, trickery, fuckery, evil and limitless devil worshipping madness that runs and rules this country and planet. I also have a MASSIVE collection of ALIEN figures (just because they are so dark, scary and in your face with some what what what type ass kicking battery acid dripping you just got punked type shit).
But shoes, sneakers? Nah, they are like low end diamonds, massive exploitation of people of color, the poor. The sneaker factories are scenes of rape and unspeakable child labor conditions (and dont let some over paid basketball bullshit artist tell you nathan different). Then after fucking over the homies in Bornoe or Indonesia or wherever, they brainwash the kids/teens/adults in America into thinking they are somehow less than cool unless they have the latest, coolest, freshest, newest, slickest, flyest, hippest most advertised, most hyped bullshit sneakers on their feet. Then the same chunks of rubber and spray paint that cost them 19 cents to produce they turn around and sell to a minimum wage kid for $125.00. Nah, not me, I have a couple of pair of Pro keds from when Mike Tyson was still knocking out kids for their lunch money and trying to goad me into fights in a Brooklyn schoolyard and back when I was hitting it raw. And no matter how grimy my sneakers are MF’s still have to give me props for being an original OG. Dallas Penn for President. Peace, Ernie Paniccioli raw and unchallenged
No doubt Ernie,
You keeps it realer than most and if I have a vice right now it is my sneaker collection mos def.
You like the Alien character inspired by H.R. Giger? Then I know you got some of that cat’s books too. He’s an apocalyptic futuristic nutjob like yourself, but I fucks with him too.
By the time I become President NIKE will be selling motherfuckers air all right. Oxygen. Due to the fact that our environment will be fucked the fuck up. Only GOD knows where we go next, but best believe that I am going flyyyyyyy-yyyyyyy-yyyyyyyy.
Dallas, If you did not have the coolest website on this little planet I would come ove to your mom’s basement and sic my anti-cult-deprogrammers on your behind. When they’re done with you you’d know that
1) All sports are rigged
2) Sports is the opiated of the people
3) God or his son was Black
4) Democracks and Repthuglicans are as evil and useless as the dual religions they promote (Democracy and Capitalism)
5) Sneaker collections, earrings, pink suits, manicures, diamonds, bling are feminine as fuck (FAF)
6) Hip Hop has been colonized.
7)Puffy is the worst rapper of all time.
8) Until and unless Rap comes back above the Slave Line (MAson Dixon Line) Hip Hop is Dead.
9) One Nas is worth 100 Twinky 50 Cent or Nelly.
10) The only real Hip Hop Icons should be Native American Hip Hop Photographers that have been documenting Hip Hop since most rappers were still swimming in their fathers nut sacks. Ernie P.
Oh, I almost forgot #11 The main character in The Usual Suspects Kaiser Soze was based on my life. Ernie
