So I hope we all read about the survey that says sneaker fiends have a natural disposition towards leadership. What the survey didn’t mention is that when you exceed a dozen pairs annually you are generally disposed to poverty.
Remember the study which found that drinking a glass of red wine every day cut down the chances of you dying from a heart attack. They failed to mention that all the people who drink more than a glass a day are high risk for liver disease. It’s always all about the shit that they DON’T tell us.
Today, I am telling you that I am sneaker beast. A veritable manimal. When I touched down on Monday from Atlanta I decided to stop by my favorite little NIKE SB shop in Queens. This joint is also great for catching a discount on some general release shoes too. In stock were the NIKE SB ‘November Rain Guns & Roses’ Dunk Mid. Why the hell are these shoes called all of that? I don’t know exactly, but what I do know is that these pieces are flavor for that anus [ll].
Suede, patent leather (but not too much), and sick graphics, even on the insole.
If RALPH NADER owned a pair of these I would definitely vote for him.
Dunk Mids… Man those are like the Tito Jackson of sneakers… *UGH*
@40 : How come no one ever dips far down in the well to make some jokes about Marlon or Jackie? Are there even shoes bobo enough to qualify for 4th or 5th Jackson status? If there are, it’s going to be those Chinese joints they let Damon Jones endorse.
I call Tito on Dunk Mids because they’re only known because of their more successful bredren. Like Tito Jackson… He’s always the 3rd mentioned after Michael and Jermaine. VOILA!
Loving the color scheme. The flowers on the outside not so much though. But I just don’t like wearing flowers period.
But that color scheme. mmmm….
If you’re talking about Sprint II that store is pretty ill…they let me reserve the DOOMs for $200 total…didn’t have to line up, and still paid almost a bill less what FCNY currently charges.
As for the GNR Mids, they’re ok…nice for Dunk Mids…
Casey,
Sprint II on 82nd Street is that spot.
Those look much better than the pics I posted of them on my blog. Nice pickup. Called November Rain after the GNR video/song where Axl marries the girl, Slash plays guitar solo and the girl dies for reasons never explained. The insole is supposed to be the girl in the casket.
There’s also a pair of Appetite For Destruction Lo Dunks which kind of look like rainbow sherbert, if that’s your thing.
*adds Sprint II to the sneaker map.
those are some cold kicks brethren.
the black leather on the side panels of these joints is so righteous.
Cold November Rain is quite possibly one of my favorite Guns and Roses songs, and those might be the most amazing sneakers I’ve ever seen..
damn damn double damn!
