Fourth of July Goodies - WMNS Pack

Hello lovely people! Today im shining some light on the Nike WMNS Independence Day Pack which includes a Blazer Hi, Dunk Hi, and Air Max 97. The pack is already out at St. Alfred's and other Nike retailers, and should be moving quickly since the holiday is less than four days away.


I'm not particularly thrilled with the contrast stitching on the Air Max and Blazer Hi, but the Dunk Hi is pretty fresh. Otherwise, I think Nike has done an excellent job so far reppin' the ladies...I wonder what else is in store...

iDig: Nixon Watches

I love a good timepiece...and if you're like me, you know that time is money, and a waste of time equals a waste of money in my book. A good watch can not only accent an ensemble but is also mad practical. Being on time is not only a good habit to be in but is also very attractive lol :). And so are the banging watches crafted by the good folks over at Nixon. The brand was established 8 years ago as a means to fuse together the needs and wants of pioneering athletes. Now as a major company, Nixon has been noted in fashion mags around the world and theirbags, hats, wallets, and watches are favorites among fashion elites. There collections are dope and I am especially feeling the Neon Bible Collection for women.

Peep the pics below...


The Tribella in Neon Pink $60
Grind Backpack in Dither $50

The Answer in Sky Blue $80

Pinwheel Tote in Yellow $22


You can purchase these items direct from Nixonnow.com or at Karmaloop.com

Sneak of the Week: 6.23.08-6.27.08

Ok so I took a digital day off yesterday but I'm back today with a very sleek pick for Sneak of the Week:

This Air Max 90 GS is part of a Nike Panda pack which also includes a dunk lo GS. The colorway on this shoe is great, unlike anything I've seen this year. I'm diggin the subtle pink and dark green. The black patent leather detailing also adds a lot of neat shine to it. Additionally there is a flower pattern on the toe box and heel, which looks a little metallicy (<--not a word) but I could be wrong. To tie in the Panda theme, there is a cute lil picture of the furry bear on the tongue. These are a GS release and should be out at retailers like Cty Sports and other spots coming soon.

Also, if you can't wait and wanna purchase online, check out ebay

Snazzay Pt 2??

Sooo.. I was getting my daily fix of kicksonfire.com and I noticed a crisp pair of Nike WMNS Dunks that madly resemble the pair of blazer mids I posted yesterday (see here). I'm like okay, is this part of a pack or something, cuz um Ima need to know that lol.



What's your take?

Nike Dunk High Premium - Cool Grey / Neutral Grey / Sail / Berry


Via kicksonfire.com

Silver and Gold, Silver and Gold

THIS IS A SFS ALERT! THIS IS A SFS ALERT!!!


Hitting stores this weekend is a GS Air Jordan 1 Retro with a fresh new colorway representing Jordan's 1984 and 1992 Olympic Gold wins. Sporting metallic gold on most of the upper and a silver swoosh, these kicks will be a big hit for the ladies and the youngn's!

You Should Know: Air Jordan 7/16 Pack Released TOMORROW!!!

Yuppsies the highly anticipated pack previously featured in last week's Sneak of the Week will be released at Nike retailers nationwide! The pack is kinda steep tho (retailing at 310 mens sizes and 210 for the kiddies), so I hope you've been saving up! You should already know where to go, so get yours before its gone!

This vs. That

I've always been an Air Force One fan. Even in my early sneaker days, I knew that you couldn't go wrong with a crisp pair of all whites and a couple colorful joints. Nike has definitely kept the legacy going in 2008 by creating some simple, yet unique colorways for the classic kicks.

These babies are newest on the scene and both deliver that traditonal Air Force One style
Nike WMNS Air Force 1 Vivid Blue/White

^A beauty aint it? I call this one "Cool Breeze" lol. Notice the textile like pattern on the toe box, tongue and side paneling. Very chill...





Nike WMNS Air Force 1 Volt/White


^This sneak is amazing! The highlighter green might be too bright for some, but I think the ladies will definitely love it. Notably, this sneaker totes patent leather on its toe box and side panel unlike the textile pattern on the previous sneak.

I am digging them both, but may have to run with the Vivid blue joint this time. It just screams summer to me!

The "Volt" is located at select Nike retailers, while "Cool Breeze" can be found this Saturday at St. Alfreds.

Snazzay!!!

Here we have a new pair of blazers for the ladies which are super crute, very simple but with a loud dash of color to pull it all together.

Nike Blazer Mid - Neutral Grey/Varsity Red/White-Black


The nubuck material makes me think..eh maybe too hot for summer? But I'll get over lol. These are a good pick for those "What do I wear" days because the colorway is basic enough to throw a white tee on with, but maybe add some pink earrings on ya kno? Availabe at select Nike accounts, TBA on retailers in the Chi.

Court Force Mania!!!

I have been very pleased with the Nike Court Force Hi releases this year, and I must say I have jumped directly on the bandwagon lol. A newly released pair has surfaced on the web sporting the colors of the Jamaican flag.




This sneak has a lot of intricate details including the knit red and yellow ankle mid section, fading rainbow color pattern, and dope "woven effect" detail on the toe.

I am sure that these will be poppin up in some of my favorite shops here in the Chi and on the web soon, I will keep you posted!

There Could Only Be One

YAAAAAAAAAAY!!!
After a CRAZY successful season on top, the Celts brought the Larry O'Brien Trophy back to Boston after a 22 year championship drought. I AM SOOOO HAPPY FOR THE BIG THREE!!! Shuttlesworth, ahem, I mean Ray Allen finally found his stroke in the finals when it counted the most, dropping 7 of 9 three pointers to really solidify the lead gained early on. Paul Pierce, named Finals MVP, kept the momentum going and did everything he knew how to keep the team gunning! And my main man KG!!! WOOOO I was so excited for him most of all (Chi-Town BaBY). I remember seeing him do an interview last summer on ESPN when he was still in Minnesota, and the one part I could never forget is him saying "I'm tired of losing, I'm tired of losing." He was so emotional, he made me cry! BUT LOSE NO MORE SIR!!! I also have to give props to the rest of the Celtics squad - Rundo (talk about hustle young man!), Posey, Perkins (bothered my nerves a bit but he played his part), and ya boy Eddie House! All in all it was a great end to a fantastic season! CONGRATS TO THEM!!!!

All Around The World...

I loved the hip hop, late 80s, early 90s feel this song had when I first heard it. But now the video is here and its dope!!! I am also diggin the concept of the year 2088 versus 1988! The stylin for this video is amazing too, although I could do without Lloyd wearin his hair straight, but I digress. I am glad that Lloyd is back on the scene becuz I definitely bumped his last album "Street Love" heavily.

And oh yeah...Hype is Back

Lloyd feat. Lil Wayne "Girls All Around The World"

What What? HOT!

So okay I rarely post anything about customs because they suck, and not in the sense of design and creativity, but in the sense of they're so fresh you or I will never get a pair. But I have been seeing this latest custom on a bunch of other sites and I have become intrigued with its "complex simplicity."

Here is the SBTG x Lazy Custom Dunk Lo "The Paramount"



As you can see the colorway is "Gucci" inspired, and I aint mad at that, who don't like Gucci <---bad grammer anyone??? Additionally, there is a sick black denim used on the front and back paneling, snakeskin swoosh, gum sole, and signature SBTG patch over the laces. No official date, but they will definitely be released via Royalfam

Soooooo...

Today I had a revelation...

I LOVE gum...like seriously always have a fresh pack on me. And I know I'm obsessed cuz I go dumb dumb when I see the big packs on sale for .97 at Target or Jewel.

My favorite flavor on the "robusty fruitacular side" would have to be the Strawberry Mint from Orbit (straight crack g)


And on the "keeping your breath minty fresh" side, I'm rolling with dat Spearmint from Extra


One thing that perplexes me tho is HOW THE FLUCK IS GUM SUGARFREE???


and oh yeah I like to keep the plastic wrapping on the package...keeps the freshness in daawwling!

Hmm that is all...later dudez

You Should Know: Nike WMNS Air Force 1 High Cactus

Yuppers! The one I've been waiting for has finally arrived! As the third release from the Nike Wms Quickstrike Color Pack, these babies are sick!

This has to be the most gorgeous neon green I've ever seen! Still fits like a boot, but its cool, I'll have to break out the bootcuts I guess lol



Available this Saturday at St. Alfred's!

Sneak of the Week: 6.16.08-6.20.08

Waddup Peoples!!! I am back this week...and with a vengence lol j/k but I got some sick ish for ya!!! This week's pick is definitely a ladies summer MUST HAVE (do I smell a Beedee's Top Five SUMMER list coming on???). I give you the Nike WMS Dunk Hi Premium...



CHA WIZZA YOU DON'T!!!! This bad girl is waaaaaangin'!!! Peep the multi colored polka dots, sexy purple laces, patent leather swoosh and CLEAR sole...oooh weeee lol! Nike is definitely representing the way they should be, and I'm glad to see that this shoe isn't all pink flowers and daisies (not to say I don't like those things, cuz I do lol) but this sneak goes hard! No official info on a release date, but they are expected to drop soon. More info and release in the Chi and around the nation to come!

Synesthesia - Later Dude

^as scientifically referenced in Pharrell's linear notes
FINALLY!!!!!

So the new album from N.E.R.D entitled "Seeing Sounds" dropped yesterday, June 10th and I must say it is a solid piece of work. I normally base an album's strength on the total number of songs which are at least decent, if not above average. And this joint definitely delivers. My top four tracks are "Yeah You" "You Know What" "Laugh About It" and "Love Bomb" and of course I love their first two singles "Everybody Nose" and "Spaz." Overall, I feel like this album sounds more like a pharrell album than a N.E.R.D project, but I digress. I'm still a huge fan and can't wait to go see them on their own tour!

Lastly, Pharrell is sexy as hell...

that is all...GO COP!!!

You Should Know: Air Jordan Olympic 6s (Weekend Recap)


Yo yo yo fam! Over the weekend the highly anticipated Air Jordan Olympic 6s were released at Nike retailers - and on the low low in the Chi! Originally slated for a June 7th release, it was confirmed last week that these babies would actually be released May 30th - and they did! I copped mine at a very reasonable price. I'm hearing that they are very hard to get now but if you are in the chi and need some help, get at me!
