Air Jordan Retro 1 Mid "Ruff N Tough" Quai 54 Edition

So Gentry tried to tell ya'll that they would do some Europe only exclusives! Jordan Brand recently released the "Ruff N Tuff" Air Jordan Retro 1 Mid in Europe as part of their ongoing collab with the French Quai54 tournament. Love the blue color that they decided to run with, love the clear sole, hate that Kinte cloth used on the top portion and the lining. Best bet is to try and grab em online!


Is this what you been waiting for????

Just watch it!!

Do they really need an intro????

I like the camera shots on these. Just telling Joe the other day how I personally think this is one of the better looking colors compared to the first to. We will have more updates as the week continues. Oh...if you didn't already know then you are super late so sorry for ya! They drop Sat the 6th....too bad you had to be in line last week though to get a decent price! HAHAHA





Dallas Penn Strikes Again! "What up with Fakes??"

Has me laughing all the time!! Check out the "Kenya West" shoes! LOL

SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!: Say No 2 Fakes from dallas penn on Vimeo.

Nike Air Force 1 GS - Irridescent Swoosh

Don't get too happy if you are expecting these to hit stores in the U.S. anytime soon. Just like with almost everything else that is fly we won't see them..if we see them till later in the year. You can grab a pair if you are on ebay but that's kinda where it stops. These are Grade school (GS) but I know some of you ladies out there are going to try and cop a pair! Take a look at the Nike swoosh and how they tricked out the colors on it. Dope summer shoe!




Nike Air Flytop Premium QS - White - Royal

So Cliff hit ya'll with the White/Red color combo on his blog while I am more of a white/royal type dude myself! These classic kicks have already begun to hit lo-key spots and have a tag of over $200 for em. Premium leather, blue and grey striped laces and a two-tone midsole with a Nike logo carved into the heel. Let's see who will man up and cop some of these once the official release this fall jumps off!




Supra Thunder High Jim Greco

Signature vulcanized outsole with a black suede upper makes for a clean looking Supra. Not as crazy as the TK high but Jim Greco (skater) has endorsed this shoe. Retail on them will be about $72 and should drop at a local shop near you within the next couple weeks.

LOL...MAYOR'S Denim Bespoke..Gettin the Bootleg Treatment!

So here is the deal...If you have been following the blog or been up on your so called Air Force 1 collection then you should know who MAYOR is. If not do yourself a favor and click the "DJ CLark Kent Link" and "Mayor Air 1 Link" to the right side of this page. Any how...just from this guy being a mass collector, sneaker heads, shoe junkie, etc...he actually has someone out there that bootleg a shoe that Mayor created down at NikeStudio 21 Mercer St in New York.

Let me rewind that in case you missed it! Somebody out there knows that this guy is the truth when it comes to his collection of Air Force 1's. (Nothing different from those of us who know about him) Only difference is that a shoe that Mayor paid money to create (just as we all have access to do if you got that bread...$850!)it had the internetz going so crazy someone else is trying to profit from his creation. LOL.

So I 100% agree with G-Roc from TSG.com...if bootleggers are paying that much attention to Mayor Nike id customs...then this man deserves his own shoe from Nike! Now the dope part about that is he is a regular dude off the block that is not a entertainer, athlete, etc. Now only if Jordan Brand would holla at me and we can get this Jumpman shoe game poppin! LOL.....Check it!

These are the REAL DEAL!!

These are the Fakes!!




Woolrich for Converse Chuck Taylor All Star

So it makes me want to tell those of you to go and get you lumberjack on! LOL. Pretty dope colors that Converse decided to go with. Release dates on them is going to be August 1st so it might be a little hot to break em out depending on where you stay. I always wonder what the inner lining feels like on these. Wool is dope on a shoe but where is the ventilation action happening? HAHA. Perfect fall/winter shoe and that when most catz here in the D would mainly break em out....not unless you getting your Cam ron on! Coming in both a high and low top version on the same day. Pick your poison.




Air Jordan 60+ (Plus) - White - Varsity Red

So we now see the Jordan 60+ in the white/red color. Looks a little better than blk/red combo that we previewed earlier. Still say that this will be a dope hooping shoe but that is where it would stop for me. They are suppose to be a little heavy in weight as well. 15.6oz is what the sample comes in at. We shall see once they drop! Keep it posted for official dates!

"They Got ME" Big Boi speaks on his FAKE JORDANS!!

It's official like a refer with a whistle! Dude Maurice Garland catches up with Big Boi a couple days ago to finally clear the air about these fakes that Big Boi from Outkast was rocking. Check out the vid

Kanye West Space Ship vid......

So I jacked this from my son...."CLiffSkighwalker!" What up Cliff? Right there with you buddy on it def being one of the Favs!! Can you say GOOD Music????

Nike Air Royal Mid Premium - Metallic Silver

So while this reminds me of that Supra that dropped last year in this color. While I relly like this shoe I could never wear it. Shinny suite time baby!!





Puddle + Shoe Punch FootLocker Video Ad

European Footlocker commerial....another follow up to the commerical I posted with dude doing the sneaker scent test blind folded. I swear overseas even gets the craizest commericials and handsets!

Commonwealth x Reebok Pump Omni Lite

While I love the color Reebok decided to go with I am still disappointed about that all white out sole. Why could they not have made that sole black or even grey to accent the shoe. Reebok teamed up with Commonwealth again to get this collaboration in. The shoe will retail for about $120 once they drop within the next 30-45 days.

Nike Dunk Hi Supreme Spark - Team Green - Challenge Red - Black - Gucci

Last fall we reported on these along with those Air Force II that were suppose to drop in the "Gucci" inspired color way. No new pictures have surfaced on the net the past couple days and it appears that Nike decided to give it the ostrich black leather treatment. The leather overall is still suppose to be "supreme" material..so that will be butter! Still love the gum sole that they kept and rumor has it that DJ Clark Kent worked on this shoe along with Eddie Cruz as a part of East vs. West collection. These will drop later this fall around the October time frame.





Leroy Smith - The Man Who Motivated Michael Jordan

Long but kinda funny....

Reebok Freestyle Nostalgia - Yellow + Pink + Purple

For the ladies I thought I might post these because I am sure that some ladies here in the D will have them on their feet in no time! Funny thing is that my moms use to rock these in the all white/blue/red color waaayyy back in the day! LOL. This go round Reebok hits us with the "Nostalgia" colors. Mainly composed of a suede upper and a translucent color out sole makes for a real colorful shoe! Skinny jeans, tights, and capri is what I can envision the ladies rocking with these. Stay tuned for release dates.



Nike Dunk High Supreme iD Try ON

Nike Sportswear @ 21 Mercer Street in New York strikes again. Here we picture their 3rd installment of the Nike Dunk High Supreme Try on in a grey color with smooth leather and nubuck! These are available now! Get em if you like em...


Nike Air Force 1 1World x Rio Ferdinand

After dropping a couple of quiet pairs a couple of weeks back, Nike Sportswear at 21 Mercer Street is dropping more Rio Ferdinand x Nike Air Force 1 Low 1WORLDS today. The Rio Ferdinand Air Force 1 was designed by the Manchester United star for Nike's ongoing 1WORLD project and features a supreme White leather/White croc embossed leather upper with a Gold foil Swoosh, a Gold "5" and "V" embroidered on the heel tabs, and a White sole. Joe....get ready to go on ahead and grab these too! LOL.
