The ‘Cats Ran Wild…

April 3rd, 2012

Salutes to the NCAA Champion Kentucky Wildcats.

Shouts to LM for winning the NCAA pool. This is the 3rd or 4th DP.com pool that LM has won. He stays winning so much it makes me wonder if he was the dude from Maryland with the winning Mega Millions ticket?

I actually came in last place of all the poolers who submitted picks. That’s pretty rad if you ask me. Here’s what the final breakdown looked like. Thanks for playing Internets.

A King Needs A Queen…

April 3rd, 2012

I don’t fux with Burger King at all but I do FUX with Mary J. Blige. She worked on fries before she caught her big break. Now the King is cutting her an official check.

You can’t h8 on that Internets.

Delancey Street Homecoming…

April 2nd, 2012

I can’t even stress enough how much I appreciate Reebok for giving me the opportunity to host an event at their space off Delancey Street. This night was like a homecoming for me. I was back on Delancey Street where my sneaker fiending first began more than 25 years ago.

Classic.

Salutes to Combat Jack and the whole crew from the Combat Jack Show who fell thru the event to support the kid. All my dudes held me down hardbody tho’. Premium, Solace, Aqua, ‘Naud, Dave, Jayson, Hobbs, J.Nicholson, Billy Anthony, Chad Wells…

Everybody!

Thanks to Cole for being my intern. DallasPenn.com never had an intern before. We still don’t know what to do with our intern, but we gonna put her to work. It ain’t gonna be free kicks every time Cole. LOL.

Big up to Sean Malcolm aka DJ Profile from King Magazine who came thru and held down the sound system hardbody.

Esso and his band Beatsro rocked the gallery with a mini set. Basquiat’s spirit was definitely in the air.

The whole night was classic. Thanks Reebok.

New Balance: Made In America…

April 2nd, 2012

I crashed this in-store party at the New Balance spot on Fifth Avenue. Instead of eating food and drinking wine I fuxed with the sneakers. I’m at the Jedi level of open bar (obama) events that I can’t even get down with the swill unless its one of my top drinks. I’m just really into sneakers too.

New Balance is one of those brands that will make the best products around and because they won’t play the hype machine game that other manufacturers play you won’t know what you are missing. I can sit here and drop a litany of New Balance styles that just shit on other brands with their construction and durability.

Even with their high profile collaborations, New Balance still remains the anti-hypebeast sneakerhead shoe because they aren’t pouring money into promoting their shoes. If you know the deal then you already know. Otherwise, you better ask somebody what’s fuxin’ with the ‘N’. Nobody.

Ridin’ The Dragon ‘Til The Wheels Fall Off…

April 2nd, 2012

The Knicks literally rode Lin ’til his wheels fell off. Jeremy Lin’s knee injury will keep him out of the rest of the Knicks season including the playoffs since I doubt the Knicks are going to escape being first round lunchmeat to the Heat.

The wild shit is that the Knicks held back info on Lin’s injury until after they sold their playoff package [ll] to the season ticket holders. Sports are ghey for shit like that.
