Uniform Doc Martens

A new twist on an old classic with this collaboration between Dr. Marten and Uniform Experiment. Doc Marten have become a recent trend but they've taken wingtips and blend the two classics beautifully if only these weren't exclusive to Japan --_--

a couple pumas to keep u on ur toes....

in this day and age, every youngster n they mama is wearin vans&SBs, there are other things that belong in ur repetoire, there are a number of other brands, from adidas to puma, CERTAIN reeboks (i cant vouch for all), etc. think outside the box, get creative but remain simple. these soon-to-released puma clydes&suedes fit the bill quite well n can be easily copped @ stores like DSW, finish line, zappo's n the like. so go get u sum.....

EVERYBODY should have a pair of Jack Purcells

commonly a prep-style staple that can be found @ stores such as J. Crew, Banana Republic and the Gap, Jack Purcells were the brain-child of its namesake originally designed for to provide more protection and support on badminton courts. Converse then bought the rights to the shoes in the 70's. This collaboration was done by Ian Ginoza, the owner/creator of prestigious St. Alfred boutique out of Chicago for Converse RED line, which helps in AIDS support all over the world.

FINALLY A TRUE OG COLORWAY!!! NIKE TOTAL AIR MAX UPTEMPO BLACK/VOLT!

Ok fellow sneak aficionados... here is a truly supreme offering from Nike for this summer... a true to form... and color... OG colorway of the NIKE TOTAL AIR MAX UPTEMPO...aka the Reggie Miller's in a hot black/volt colorway. Some may see that as of late these so called "retros" have minor variations and cheap materials that dont warrant the price tag. I can fully say, being that I have held and tried these on, that this shoe breaks that nasty habit of being ill manufactured.
The color is fire, the all volt icy sole that runs the length of the shoe is primo (watch out for wet days though it will cloud the sole quickly) and the materials are first rate.
Thank you Nike for taking the time to give us what we need. I think it is entirely worth its $160 price tag. A must cop.
I have seen on various websites such as Kicksonfire, Hypebeast, SoleCollector, and SneakerFiles (to name a few) feature this shoe and state that it is available at select Nike retailers... I went to my local Footlocker (my place of employment) and found them today.. fresh out of the case and already selling. So dont sleep on these please... if you got the cake go cop ASAP!!! Dont miss out a fine and dubious serving of Retro sneaker madness.
Take a look at some of the pics and the last pic is the OG for your comparision, How does it stack in your eyes?
Oh how I love fresh kicks... mmmmm...

Check out the symbiosis of the leather and suede on this shoe... very nice.
And here is the OG for comparison... Very minor variations if any...LOVE IT!

I would like to note that all this information was done via personal research and scouring all the above stated sites... So if you want anymore info check those sites or email us and we can get you what you need!!

SUM SHIT I WOULD LIKE ADD TO MY REPERTOIRE....

OF COURSE WE START OFF WIT THE PACMANS..... EXCUSE ME MS. PACMANS. normally im not one of those kids who hops on the next SB to come out but i must say these are rather appetizing if i say so myself.

the SUPREME camos joints on the left are BEGGIN me to buy them.....



NEXT UP IS THE SPRING COURT SPRINGS, a curveball to the over-exposed VANS slip-ons, eras and authentics of today, its a simple shoe that is SO basic it becomes versatile. now, visualize it with me....jeans to the club, khakis and a polo, OH, but wait, maybe even shorts and a Vneck in the summertime, i c me and u doing big things baby...lol



adidas I LOVE WAT UVE DONE...ive always been a fan of vintage kicks, no, not the website imbecile...(flight club, before they change the name)....REALLY, vintage kicks. they've taken a vintage kick and given it a contemporary twist.



also, sum Pegasus 83s? (correct me if im wrong), running shoe, simple design....i c a recurring theme here guys...maybe not this BLAND colorway but u catch my drift.


sumthing like THIS...damn those women only exclusives! i will find one in my size. hello zappos...lol



and finally a shirt from BODEGA out in Boston cause i used to kno this youngun who worked there...i wonder if she still works there...quite possibly one of the FINEST african women i kno...sorry my mind is drifting lls...
