True story is that when 40 Diesel hit me on the com-link this Saturday I was a few steps from my favorite sneaker spot of the moment.
Dr. Jay’s on Fordham Road is killing the game right now with their ridiculon sales of general release and urban account NIKE kicks. I’m talking about $20 and $30 for fly shit. And when you spend the amount of guap that I do on footwear its cool to come up on shoes for 70% off the manufacturer’s suggested retail price, or MSRP as we say in the acronymonic game.
This week’s drop features the shoes issued as an homage to the groundbreaking action figure franchise that became a cartoon, then a comic book and now a soon to be released feature film. There were three(3) different styles that were created for the G.I. Joe pack. Dr. Jay’s was selling the Air Assault retro for $30. I had to get in where I fit in.
The camo print is on some futuristic nuclear forest type shit. I won’t even try to match these kicks with anything else. Why bother? Extra sets of laces is the minimum right now. I love the inside materials as much as the outside like the padded collar and the printing on the insoles. With all the outdoor music festivals scheduled for this summer I won’t feel a kind of way if by August these shoes are muddied up beaters. I wish I could score all my Air Max shoes for $30.
Can we get this popping Dr. Jay’s?
The last picture is the best. I love watching the falling price demarcations on my sneaker boxes. Its almost as good as whats in the box.
Pay Day Friday. I will be in the bargain bins looking for BBQ butters.
this is a shoe only DP could wear.
good catch. our beaters >>> their fly joints.
Dude…I’m amped about the GI JOE movie almost solely b/c they casted Ray Park (Darth Maul) as Snakeyes. The PERFECT selection.
Never been a huge one for the Air Assaults, prefer the highs when it comes down to it. Still, for the situation you envisage at a festival and for that cash? Instant cop!
Cheers,
Dan
I’m gonna go in on the new G.I. Joe movie and a bunch of other shit on Thursday’s Dartflix Lite #4. The theme is “Dear Hollywood, stop (anally) raping our childhood memories”. I might alter the title before then…I got time.
One.
Yo why I have that issue of G.I. Joe at my folks crib back home?
they are so cheap because nobody wants those ugly ass shoes…but 30 dollars is too good to pass up…i mean id find something to do with em
copped those for my son last month for 50 beans at Premium Goods.
YO on the real DP i went to the Nike Outlet copped some Air Max 90’s(brown and black with the insole being colored #’s) and Air Max 1’s each for 29.95 (all grey with pink soles) …..and My little daughter I copped air max 90’s 4 different color ways for 14.95 and one pair they had at the bargain bin cost me 9.95 …… thats lower than some Pro-Wings and shit
That was the ill JOE issue. I still got that in the longbox. [||]
Nice shoes.
Dallas, what’s up with all of my favorite hip-hop blogs having pretty much a blackout of Suge Knight getting knocked the fuck out? Seems like I would have seen it everywhere??? What’s the deal? And if the story is too hot, than don’t touch it . . . I’ll understand either way.
TKC,
I vaguely heard that story over the weekend on the radio. Let me do some investigative journalism (read: Miss Info dot com) and get the people this story.
I don’t mess with the swoosh, but I think I need those. D train here I come.
