Waiting for Yeezys

Waiting for Yeezys from kwest on Vimeo.

Nuttiness. Those kids in LA are crazy for camping out for a week and skipping out on school for a perr of nike errs. But at the same time.. they've got a pair of Yeezys... and I don't.

Current price on ebay.. anywhere from $600-$800.

I should be in a line up right now.

Crap crap crap. This one is a tough one to swallow.

I didn't know the upper was neoprene... f*ck.. makes em even more cool. ah wells.. they're just kicks right?  ugghhhh.

Yeezys THIS SATURDAY.

I'm so psyched about these.. BUT... I dunno how I'm gonna get my hands on em. Gosh.

Sigh.

Nike Delta Force

Vince, tipped me off on these Delta Force Highs and Lows with a vulcanized sole. Quite an interesting "hybrid" and definitely a nice casual look.

Air Yeezys... Finally

Due for release Saturday, April 4th.

I think they messed these up. WAY LATE on the release and the original colourways/materials were way more on point. What's up with the weird "Y" elephantesque print? Was somebody eating alphabet soup the day they decided they needed a texture for this shoe? They still look amazing in the dark tho! Ah f*ck it.. I still want them.. dayam.

The first time we ever saw these on Ye's feet... at the Grammy's... those black on black joints? Wheeww.. those were BAD ASS.

Air Jordan CP3 II : New Orleans Hornets QS

What can you say about Chris Paul. Dood has got some skillz.. he's certainly doin his thing and making a case for MVP once again this year. What can you say about his kicks? As far as this season has been going, he has been rocking several pairs of superb PEs.. from Six Rings to Jordan XXIIIs.. the colourways have been phenomenal. Now, with the release of his second signature shoe, the CP3 II we see a different approach in terms of aesthetics. The first (shown on the right) looks more simple and fundamental. This time around they've added speed and flash to the design.. perhaps to match his game? At any rate, I really don't know what to make out of it.. they make me think of the Melo line... and for some reason that doesn't make me very excited. The way Chris Paul plays basketball... that makes me excited.

Lead the Charge : Become Legendary

AJ1 Low Phat Championship Pack Portland Trailblazers

I was talkin to Vince about the recent Air Jordan I releases.. I guess he brought it up cuz he's liking what he's seeing... while I retorted with saying its getting to be a lil much. Jordan Brand seems to be sticking to this formula where they've been taking their classic molds and diluting the sneaker walls with as many colours and variations as possible... no matter how good of an idea or bad one. Its a double edge sword really. On one hand, when JB decides to come out with the most ridiculous/strange/boring colour.. a failure.. then yes.. it makes you feel disgusted that they would do that to a holy grail.. (but I bet the same guy will cop that ish for $40 3 months later at the outlets..  heck I'm guilty of it).. now on the other hand with all these releases.. there's more chance of JB gettin it right. Its strictly a numbers game.. 1 out of 10 releases has gotta be a gem.  And so...as it appears.. they've gotten it right with these Low Phat Championship Pack Portland Trailblazer joints (as my man Maze would say).

NBA All-Star Weekend

Every year I always get pretty amped up about the All-Star Weekend... and no matter what anyone says about the slam dunk contest.. I still find it very entertaining. Unfortunately I've missed quite a few weekends on the tube in the past few years and have had to resort to youtube... not this year though, got myself a PVR!! Not only will I be able to REWIND the high-flying action, I'll also be able to examine all the fly kicks donning the All-Star players' feet in high detail on HDTV.
