SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

All this baseball talk has me excited for my trip to Atlanta in August to see BARRY BONDS at Turner Field. It will be my first visit to that ballpark too so I decided to make sure that I styled on them Georgian fools. And for $36 dollars on eBay?!? Y’all already know…

These Dunks are part of the Untold Truth series dedicated to memorializing some of the great baseball players from the Negro Leagues. They were fashioned in honor of JOSHUA GIBSON, the man whom some baseball experts claim is the greatest home run hitter of all time. I remember discussing with y’all the Latin legacy within the Negro Leagues. This circuit of teams enabled Black professional ball players to compete against their white American counterparts during the off season (read: kick they azz). From Cuba to Mexico, Black ballplayers received the same respect accorded with any other man wearing a ballcap and pinstripes.

Peep the premium leather on these jawnts. Shits is cocoa butter soft like a Fonzerelli jacket. That shit has me from the gate. The stitching details are effing crazy too. Do you see the baseball stitches all around? And then NIKE freaks it by giving me a printed insole!?! These shits are mighty fly. Shouts to 40 and the Mighty Healthy gang. See you biatches in the ATL 8/15 – 8/20.

    SECOND!!!

    eBay has caused many a financial conundrum for the kid and still a veritable cornucopia for the coming up of kicks…

    Thanks for the shout D, I’m pulling a few more tees for you homie!

  3. I dont understand how you can ride with Barry Bonds on this homerun quest.

    You shat on A Rod for his Guiliani donations (correctly so) yet you ignore the smug and rude shit Bonds has been repeatedly reported as doing.

    Throwing garbage on the floor in front of a janitor amongst other shit that would get you slapped in the face by your mother.

    I wish Ken Griffey was the man in the light right now.
