SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

mets

I swear to y’all that Premium Pete is my crack dealer. Except this ain’t the crack that will have you selling your mom’s TV set to the pawnshop. Then again, you just might. I’ve been a highly functional addict for a long time so we’ll see how I do once I hit rock bottom.

Premium called me up and told me to come thru his shop to preview the most recent SB flavor that dropped. I don’t really fux with any Dunks that aren’t SBs. The Nike SB brand uses the best materials and color compositions. It’s like they time their releases also to be lined up with the current things going on around us.

As soon as I walked into the shop these joints caught my eye. And with the Mets’ pitchers and catchers[ll] reporting to spring training this week it all made sense. How could these Dunk Premiums NOT be called ‘Los Metros’? The orange suede sets them off. Pete made a great point to me that these Dunks rep for the Knicks as well as Syracuse(slightly) but mostly the royal blue and true orange describes a New York state of mind.

I love Spring Training in beisbol and preseason in just about every sport because your favorite team is still undefeated ad losses in the preseason don’t count anyhoo. The possibilities are endless. This is when I dust off the old Rusty Staub batting glove and don my Dave Kingman throwback t-shirt. I may even take a trip on opening day out to the big ball orchard in Corona.

Speaking of baseball stadiums…

The Internets Celebrities are wrapping up their shooting on Stadium Status. It’s a movie about really big buildings that mostly sit unoccupied. You’re gonna love it.

    Niggha you cain’t fux with orange (NY state)
    You cain’t fux with purple (royalty)

    But you can fux with the venoms? Black sneakers are for white dudes. Nigghas with no swag, no dancing ability and no sporty thieves to their steez

    I like these. I mess with the mets, F the yanks!

    My badd, let clarify my previous comment. Having swag and an official style has NOTHING to do with the color of your skin. It naver has.

    Swag and style are individual expressions and we all have that ability in us (peep RTHSTN’s official tissue Air Max iDs).

    If BigNat fux with the SB Venoms I fux w/ BigNat (no Bruno jic). Plus Venom was hardbody villain so points for SB recognizing the real. The sick shit about the Venoms is the swoosh is snakeskin. Study the double-entendre design? FIYAHVERX!!!!

    Rappers got to step up they bars just like us fans got to step up our style and culture. The two are interconnected.

    You still the homie Nat, but I think you may need some Crayola in your life…(II?)

    Kix are flame-olas, priceless are all the coke head Met flicks, everybody’s nostrils are swollen…(II)

    DP went in just now, like he was Dwayne Carter on Mar 2nd, & some nigga across the street from the courthouse just asked his homeboy that looked down for a second where did Weezy go.

  9. Tony Grands says:

    When you freak the colors NAT, you gotta go in with a fashion sense, akin to a lady. [ll].

    They get the kicks, maybe some accesories, & work & around that shit. It’s like pimping your sandwich bread so tough, that the meat doesn’t really matter, feel me?

    Pause that meat.

    “When you freak the colors NAT, you gotta go in with a fashion sense, akin to a lady. [ll]. “

    I see I gotta school the blind that’s try’na school the colorblind…

    Check it, ladies don’t have a fashion sense. Dudes design wonmen’s clothes. What ladies have is a sense of courage to try something different. Why you think the average women have sampled madd cocks before they get settled down?

    I just been on some fruity punch shit [ll] all my days but that don’t mean I’m any better than the cats that stay all black everything.

    Honestly, my steez is just more futuristic than your average, but y’all knew that.

  11. Soundwave says:

    What Cat from Corona wouldn’t go in heavy for these. These scream Willets Point/Shea Stadium or is it Willets Point/Citi Field? I need ’em Dallas.

  12. 40 says:

    Those are also them Nassau County/Islanders colors. Bring back the Gortons Fisherman jersey!!!!

    Currently riding home as a New Copper Foamposite Copper… Also snagged them Hypermax NFWs in red for $41 shipped off eBay. I’m getting the blue pair and then going MC Shan on you poohbutts with ’em.

  13. Super_Agent says:

    them shits will be fire ’round fall. right around the time the Mets realize how much time they wasted in their season… its all love though anyway

  14. BIGNAT says:

    @ $yk! the last 2-3 years i have toning my colors down. i would go to stores with sneakers in my bag just to make sure polos, tees and buttondowns would match. i don’t have the time to be doing shit like that no more. i use to stand out fuck it i am just trying to stay clean with it. in the closet i still have the colors but i wear mostly new stuff that i buy. which is darker shades of red all shades of blue. light grey dark grey dark to mid color greens and black. i had never had black jeans until 2 years ago i always mean to buy some but i never do now i got 6 pairs. i got stacks of black tees not regualr joints all of different brands. i am kinda stuck on obey at the moment the have some really good stuff. the xxl in there tees fit me without looking like i am wearing my little brothers tee shirt. people are use to me wearing bright colors a little change don’t hurt plus it’s easier to get ready.

    bignat, you know you are so wrong for that. These sneakers is the doppest things around yo.

  17. $yk! says:

    Nat that’s why I was ribbing you (II)…it sounded like you made a conversion and are in-between…I was all-black-ing the gear in 2002-2006. I still take the kix to match the shirts, I hate returning sh*t, and you know sometimes black don’t even match up. But the spring pastels and Crayola flavors are coming to match the sunshine. Over here I have no choice but to stand out (II), their gear game is on -1000, they think a pair of tartan ‘Lo shoes is ‘Lo down until I walk thru with the layered ensemble. Even in all black I’m killing whatever they have on. The NY stylee gets me in trouble, the biddies approach with a passion.

  18. Big says:

    Dallas, went to the Premium Pete’s site and noticed the Venom’s in size 15. Two reasons I live vicariously through your sneaker game:

    1. I am 6’8″ and they dont cater to size 15s
    2. I am DFW, Texas.

    Should I jump on those Venoms since they are in a 15 and is 90 a good deal? Wasn’t sure if Pete shipped out here.

  19. BIGNAT says:

    @ sub i never have worn all black except to a funeral. when i say stack of black tees they are black but have different designs and colors on them.

    @$yk last time i rocked all black which was not really all black. the tee i was wearing was black the lettering on it had all different colors. had on a nice looking jacket it was black on the outside on the inside. what i guess is teal/a color a little darker than teal/white/gray/darkgray/black checkerd pattern. denim was all black and the feet black and white sneaks. black gloves beanie blue and white scraf. also you are right about black not matching that shit is the worse but at night you really can’t tell. i don’t return shit i give it to friends or fam unless it’s messed up. the last thing i returned was a avirex jacket man that was a long time ago. they thought they was slick they take the jacket down throw that joint in the bag. i wanted to wear it once i got out the store fucking shoulder was ripped in the inside.

    @ plessy never said i didn’t like them said i can’t fuck with them. if i had knick season tickets i would get them

  20. BIGNAT says:

    @big if they got them in a 15 get them i am sure you going find size 15 in many places.

  21. BIGNAT says:

    i mean not going

  22. the_dallas says:

    Big,
    A size 15 in a shoe you really want is hard to come up on. If you like the Venoms you should definitely copp since decent shoes are always hard to come up on. The Venoms go with everything that you can think of. Simple, clean and classy.

    Tell Premium Pete that you fux with Dallas Penn and he will cut you some slack. If you don’t say [pause] after you tell Premium that you fux with DP he will hang up on your ass.

    Big doesn’t know Diesel and how a 6’8″ 375 lb dude stays fresh to death on this sneaker & lifestyle shit. Big, I extend my hand in introduction.

  24. Big says:

    I must not be looking in the right places because none of the stores around here carry anything for me. Mainly stick to Nike ID. That was just the first time seeing SBs in a 15.

    Hell, the only stores I find clothes to fit are where the Mavs shop. I am a broke ass college student, no NBA salary over here.

    No disrespect to Diesel, but fuck being 375lbs. Already got knee problems at 260.
