The streets of NYC were alive for an anticipated Air Jordan midnight release. The Air Jordan 4 retro ‘Cavs’ ‘Metropolitans’ dropped to another level of hypebeasting for synthetic rubbers and leather materials.
I was there hypebeasting.
Or so I thought…
Its almost that time! FTYA Sneaker Battle is almost here!
Event: “Frshr Than Your Avrge Sneaker Battle”
Date: Saturday May 12th, 2012
Time: 12 Noon to 5 PM
Place: Public Assembly – 70 North 6th St, Bklyn
About the Event:
Frshr Than Your Avrge is a BUY/SELL/TRADE event with a major twist. It’s also a Sneaker Battle where the contestants in the battle as well as the winner are selected solely by the crowd from a registered pool of contestants. There are three (3) judges for the event who will serve as watchdogs for the following criteria under which all battle participants are judged:
(1) Condition of your Kicks
(2) Knowledge of your Kicks
(3) How well you “Rocked” your kicks.
Grand Prize for the winner includes the coveted FTYA Trophy, NEW SNEAKERS, GIFT CERTIFICATES, CLOTHES, AND OF COURSE BRAGGING RIGHTS!
Contestants must pre-register their kicks in order to lock in their spot and prevent anyone else from registering the same pair of kicks. Anyone looking to participate should go here for all the information.
Frank Magazine dropping in early June already has me HYPE!
Just don’t call these dudes a rap supergroup. I thought to call them rap’s Defenders (a group most comic heads slept on except maybe the ‘purists’) but Roc Marci let me know they weren’t becoming a group.
Large Professor (Dr. Strange?) put this concoction together and this is the outcome.
The Avengers is either the greatest superhero film evar or the most hyped Hollywood blockbuster since who knows.
I’ll let Naked Man tell it, er, BLACK Naked Man.
