SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

dp x dirty jerz

Shouts to my boy Dirty Jerz who is one of the true lifestyle representers on the internets. Def bookmark his page. Fam came through for me last weekend by sending me a box to get me out of my doldrums. I got an unexpected ring at my door and lo and behold it was the postman with a Priority Mail package [ll]. Inside was a dope fitted cap from this spot in the Chi called Leaders 1354.

I’ve been trying figure out how I could splash off with this pair of Dunks I came up on during a previous Sneaker Fiends Unite! NYC tour. Now I just need to see if I can find a 3x tee that rocks these colorways. I’ve got my eye out for something by Mishka. Send me a link if y’all see anything.

There have been so many sneaker releases over the past several weeks. The Nike Swingman ‘Jackie Robinson’ special edition joints are fucking crack. I need to come up on these for sure. My Josh Gibson Dunks and Satchel Paige Air Max 90s would never forgive me if I didn’t put these Jackie Robs into the archive alongside them.

I’m patiently waiting for the Nike Air Trainer Max III ‘Medicine Ball’ retro joints aka the ‘Mookies’ from ‘Do The Right Thing’. This year is the 20th anniversary of that seminal Spike Lee joint and I think Brooklyn will be an important part of the summer celebrations for that film.

I got a message from Sneaker Fiends Unite! DMV Commissioner JaiSlayer that he will be up top on 06.13.09. If anyone else is down to pound the pavement with us just holler. I think we will conclude this SFU NYC tour at AmyRuth’s again. I have a taste for some stick to your ribs grub that all our walking and talking will facilitate.

These Air Max Plus below are so fucking official that I need to see if I can cop these during our tour. The 360 air platform is continually evolving along with the shoes upper which is ‘FlyWired’ out. It looks like this might be one of the strongest, lightest shoes ever made. I’m geeked.

See you on the SFU NYC tour.

    lol DP that last spot was fakeeees right. the sneaker spot. correct.

    & that dj s class was copping fakes right!??? poor kid.

    Ill rock some free fakes instead of paying $200 for real joints that everyone else has anyway. Cant spend that much on kicks. Now shoes, thats another story. If its kicks they gotta be on sale for under $60 for me to cop.

  6. I was just thinking today how Air Max Plus might be the next big casual retro in a few years. They already seem quite effective for working out and running. But $160 ain’t exactly my price point.

    @ Che Guerrilla: what “shoes” are you referring to that are worth triple figures over sneakers? I can’t think of a dress shoe on the planet that would get that much mileage.

  7. ANON says:

    what if your new to collectin and bought some fakes not knowin any better? is it a violation to wear the fugazi joints, seein as how you aint got shit else to rock?

  8. @ ANON: I think one has license to clap them out something terrible, since they’re clearly not collector’s items. Wear them every single day with whatever kit you like, go to the store in them, work on cars, walk the beach, whatever you wish. If so many other douchebags are going hard in them, why can’t you? Just don’t ever play it off like they’re official!

    Word I got some fakie J’s that I wear to work. Funny thing is that people offered to buy them from me for like $150, holarious.

    @ Stuff Any respectable Italian shoe. If I spend $200 on some kicks I wouldnt want to wear them. Shoes are on a different level. You get a different respect rockin shoes. I’ve seen it like a zenith.

    With kicks I feel more comfy to wear them reckless, with shoes, I know Im treating them right.
