SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

dp"

I made the run around NYC on my solo dolo steez this weekend. There was too much ish going down in every boro. Shout out to everyone who invited me to their cookout. I ended up at my homey P-City’s crib because he has the super HD flatscreen and the roofdeck overlooking the new Brooklyn skyline. Your boy handled the grill. Lamb chops, zucchini and whole corn on the cob.

Back to the SFU NYC tour.

This month’s hunting had some pretty slim pickings. I returned to my favorite store of the season right now, Dr.Jay’s on Fordham Road, to see what they were offering on their clearance table.

I ended up copping another pair of the NIKE G.I. Joe Air Assaults to put up on eBay since they are $20 now.

I also picked up their final pair of Air Tech Challenges in black, orange and neon. I don’t expect to make any big money off these on the eBay system but for someone who needs a pair of crispy kicks for under $40 (including shipping to wherever) they will be winning.

The sale racks weren’t holding anything too crazy for too cheap, but I did encounter these shoes that were priced to move.

This shoe is the NIKE Dunk Free Trainer Low. This is part of NIKE’s growing catalog of hybrid sneakers. The design team in Oregon fuses some of the most popular design elements of classic shoes into one new sneaker. These joints combine the NIKE Dunk with the features from the Air Trainer 1 and the sole platform of the NIKE Free5.0 cross-trainer. I’m sick that these are $30 because I happily paid $60 for mine back in January. Original MSRP was $100.

The Superstar from adidas in all black was intriguing to me since I haven’t copped a pair from the three stripe brand in some time. The $40 price tag is what held me back. If these were $30 i would have gone in.

Talk about being sick to my stomach…

I copped these high top hybrids over the holidays during a visit to the ‘A’. They have a store called Wish that all the cool kids shop at. If you live in the ‘A’ or are just visiting like I was do yourself a favor and avoid buying product from this store. They are wildly over priced and their service is far from reputable. I paid $160 for these kicks. I could have bought three(3) pairs from Dr.Jay’s and still had $10 left over for a fitted cap. Wish will never see another dollar from my hand ever again.

*The date for the June SFU NYC tour hasn’t been set yet so stay tuned and we will see what is good in the lifestyle around late June.

    I been doing it on the eBay system since 2000 under the name Fancy Pants Gangster.

    Why go thru the eBay system and risk the chance of being outbid when I sell kicks to all members of SFU for my cost plus actual shipping?

    Ladies,
    I gladly look out for y’all when i know that you are in the game. I still owe Candice a pair of joints. I’m trying to find something that is sexy and also in the colorway of her soro camp.

  8. Thanks for the recap. See on you on the Sneaker Fiends Unite (June 2008 Remix).
