Sneak of the Week: 3.26.08-4.2.08

Yes Yes Y'all and I Do Not Stop Son!!! lol I'm back this week with a cool pair of kicks for you to get into! This week I give you...



The Nike Air Stab "Glacier"
This sneaker is so friggin sweet!!! It has, in my opinion, one of the greatest colorways ever. Period. Sometimes we tend to get carried away with basic colors (your reds, blues, yellows) and brights (oranges, neon greens, hot pinks), but for me, subtle always stands out. And this sneaker captured that concept perfectly. Grey is such a neat color and goes with damn near everything. The soft pastels of blue, purple, and green really add just enough color to bring this sneak to life. And although the name insinuates chilly ice blocks...im thinkin cool spring breezes with this one. No release date or pricing info at this time, but I'll keep you posted!

Beedee's Top 5: Spring's "Must Have" List

Despite the unspring-like weather we've been experiencing here in the Chi, Spring has techinically sprung and i'm suuuuuuuper excited anyway! I'm sure you've heard that we only get two seasons here-Winter and Summer-the former lasting waaaaay to long and the latter usually going by too quickly. But this year, I'm *trying to be* optimistic about Spring, and the process has been a breeze *literally* considering the new products my favorite brands have cooked up for this season. So i've compiled a list of my top five things (out of a list of like... 20) that I must rock this spring. Starting with...


The Married to the Mob Boot Camp Jacket in an Aqua/Pink Color Combo


I've had this lil number for about three weeks now...expecting to have worn it already seeing that it is March, and because Chi weather can sometimes surprise you and pop out a good 79, but that has been a no-go thus far. Still, this jacket has already become a favorite of mine that I can't wait to wear! I'm even hanging up my sneaks for this one kids....for a pair of killer pumps (pics coming soon!)

The girls over at MTTM did a stellar job with this collection, banging out creative concepts for their tees, hoodies, and jackets. MTTM caught my eye early on via their blog which personified the ultimate fly chick's lifestyle. This season, they've done it again and this jacket is just one of the many fabolous products from their spring 2008 collection. Be sure to check it out!

Also available:


Which i now ABSOLUTELY LOVE AS WELL...this colorway is soooo mean!!! *comtemplating an upgrade*

Both can be found at 5 & A Dime & Karmaloop.

On My Mind...Video of the Day

Ever had a song or video get stuck in your freakin head for no apparent reason??? Well, that seems to happen to me alot...so I've decided to create a lil series called "On My Mind" where I post a song or video that has been plaguing my brain for the day. And today I can't get that J. Lo and LL song outta my head "All I Have" which came out in 2002 (daaaaamn that was a long time ago) from the album "This is Me...Then." I remember this song because this was a time when J.Lo was blowing up on the pop scene while weaseling crossing over into the R&B world with guest features from rappers such as Jadakiss, Ja Rule, and LL to name a few. Nonetheless, the video really helped this song out...dare I say it made me a fan??? No i don't dare say that..but it was a cool joint for that era in music. Enjoy!

Beedee's Daily Forecast

Today, I am feeling cold...



and emotional...


More than likely, all signs point to this being the fault of the onset of my "evil twin sister" who will soon be coming to reek havoc on my life for a couple of days. That is all...

Sneak of the Week-3.17.08 - 3.21.08

Hello There Gov'nah!

This week's pick has been out for a while...but i've been holding back posting it until I actually wore the sneak myself...but I'm still puttin the `fit together (will post pics tho!) so here we are:



This Nike Vandal High Premium is part of a Pop Art pack featuring shoes inspired by artist Lichtenstein who's design resembled comic artistry. These vandals can be found at finishline and st. alfred's (support chicago businesses!!!) pics via tsg.

Sometimes a Sneaker COMPANY will...

Step their game up TOTALLY!!!



I was already a fan of the nikeid website...you can customize and get fly with a bunch of different nike shoe styles from dunks to blazers to air max. But now you can customize JORDANS YO!!! lol Granted i'm not particularly fond of the Jumpman Team Elite option now available, I do however think its a great introduction to the site and I hope to see more styles in the future (perhaps custom jordan x air force one fusions???) Only time will tell!!!
