Air Jordan V.2 Grown

I absolutely LOVE these!!! These really are the GROWN&SEXY Js!!

Most people I know, who wear any Jordans, only tie them a few times in the sneakers life and slip them on and off!! Once you get the laces how you want them, why untie them and change the feel of the shoe?? These Chukka replacements, do not need to be tied/untied at all!! These are definitely a good look and are being released in more colorways! Pick up the Black/White and the Grey/Black/White now!!

As one gets older, you can't wear your regular Js into the club! Security won't let you and to be honest, its not fly!! Your look should change from day to night fellas!!! This is definitely one pair of Jordans though, that I think should be strictly for the men!!

Uptown Low - White/Electric Green 

nike-air-force-1-lime.jpg


See, I started wearing 90s in my tweens because I thought girls looked straight STUPID in Mids/Highs but I personally dislike AF1 lows! The only time lows should be worn, is when MEN have on shorts in the summer!


AF1 White Mids 

nike-air-force-1-mid-3m-swoosh-4-570x380.jpg

LOVE mids, but these, I don't know!! I feel like if I saw someone with these on, I would think they were fake or something! hahaha Straight white during the day but then the Swoosh is reflective at night?? For what?!?! 








Air Max 90s Current Torch

Air Max 90s are easily my favorite pair of sneakers, have been since they were the Air Max III or simply Air Max! (It wasn't until 2000 that they were named the Air Max 90!)

I DO NOT like these!

5084_16.jpg


WHY? I understand, as a Current Torch, they, in theory, should be different from an ordinary 90 but I just really dislike the toe! Remove the toe, and put leather, its a 90! I guess I just like original 90s and NOT the Current Torch! 

Big Nike High

The newest Big Nike High colorway to hit stores is the sport red/black!


big-nike-high-red-black.jpg


I used to have a HUGE hatred for sneakers that were, in large part, black, but I am overcoming those feelings! I had to being that black is one of my favorite colors, it just made no sense to dislike it on sneakers so much!! 

These sport red and black Nikes could definitely find a home in my collection!!! 

They should be available soon, if not already at local Nike retailers for $80! 

Air Jordan 1 EARLY RELEASE!!

These Air Jordan 1s were originally said to release in July but they will now release JUNE 19th, alongside the Infrared Pack!!!

Being a Yankee fan, the Pinstrip pair pictured are my favorite but, they also come in Yellow Canvas and White Canvas.

All pairs of Supra kicks seen here are available now or will be soon!! Check your local Supra dealers for availability and prices!!! 











Patriotic Footwear!

These few pairs of sneakers would be a perfect piece of "flair" to add to your 4th of July BBQs and firework festivities!!!


First up, the Nike SB Dunk High 'Born in the USA'
nike-sb-dunk-high-born-in-the-usa.jpg

 These dunks were created to pay respects to The Boss and his album "Born in the USA." Being that he was raised in Freehold, NJ, the kick will be released exclusively at NJ Skateshop on July 3rd!





Next, we have the, Nike Dunk low 'Independence Day'nike-dunk-low-independence-day-gs.jpg

These were created for the more petite foot!! These Red, White and Blue, star spangled Dunks are a better option when compared to handing your youngsters sparklers this year, on the 4th of July! 



Last, I have a pair of Chucks!!


converse-john-varvatos-2010-fall-chuck-taylor-all-star.jpg

These Chucks don't drop until the Fall of 1020 but I added them due to their Patriotic theme!! Strips along the side panels and the star spangles tongue, make these a great kick to scoop up and wear for next years festivities!!







Whether wearing Red, White and Blue or Stars, anywhere in your 4th of July ensemble,  everyone have a great holiday and always remember, "BE SAFE, BEFORE YOUR PATRIOTIC!!!!"

AF1 Foamposite

I,personally, am not a big fan of the Foamposite! I know, even if they made my size, I would not wear them! I really have yet to see a dude rock them right so as of right now I don't really like them on dudes either. Needless to say, its not looking too good for the Posite in my book!

The mash up between these two iconic shoes is a GREAT idea if you ask me! The AF1 was THE basketball shoe if the '80s then in the '90s, the Foamposite came around and revolutionized Nike kicks!



IMG_1751.jpg

Black midsole, Gold Air unit, Metallic Silver upper and black lace harness with a 3M ankle strap.

There are concerns about them creasing after one wear, but I think, as long as you know how to take care of your shoes, wearable trees etc, you will be okay!! These will be in my collection without a doubt! 

Converse Fall 2010 Footwear Collection

I for one, am not a huge fan of Converse, although I think everyone has owned at least one pair of Chucks in there days!! For those Real Talk readers who are Converse fans, here is a look at the Fall Collection!

Nike Dunk "Pimparade" in Mexico!

Last weekend in Morelia Michocan, Mexico, they held a three day event called the "Sneakers Pimparade." The event was held as a tribute to the sneaker culture is the area and gave artists a chance to exhibit their own art. Each artist was given a Nike Dunk made of fiberglass in which they could paint their own masterpiece to display all weekend.

Celtics Kick game!

The Nike Hyperfuse is gaining a lot of attention now that the Boston Celtics, and especially Rajon Rondo, are doin' it up in the NBA Finals against the LA Lakers! 


nike-zoom-hyperfuse-rajon-rondo-pe.jpg


This pair is the "Rajon Rondo" PE which are Forest Green and Black and feature his number, 9, n the outside of the ankle on each shoe. 


nike-zoom-hyperfuse-rajon-rondo-04.jpg

Rondo has been wearing these Hyperfuse PE throughout the Finals and now that the series is 2-2, we are bound to see them again! Don't fix something that isn't broken! The PEs seem to be working so if he knows what's good, he will wear them until the end!

Last nights Game Four, started with the Lakers taking the Celtics for a run. In the 2nd Half, the Celtics came strong and took the lead! Could part of that be due to the sneaker change made by Ray Allen?

nba-kicks-ray-allen-swaps-kicks-at-the-half.jpg

In the 1st Half Ray Allen was wearing Air Jordan One6One7 and came out in the 2nd half  wearing Jordan Icons. Could the switch to the Icons be what got the Celtics to take the win by 7 over LA!!

GAME 5 IS SUNDAY AT 8:00! Who do you want to win!?!?

Love WIZ!!

Here are two videos from Wiz Khalifa, one is an on-stage performance and the other is another video of him just chillin', doin' what he does!!!

Here is the on-stage performance for his track "Up." This track is one of my favorites out off all he has released with a video recently! Lovin' the vibe of this track!! You can see in the video, although the track has a laid back, very chill vibe, he gets the crowd HYPE! Absolutely love this beat too!! Overall, great track, top to bottom!




Here is the video for "Mezmorized." Love his videos like this where he is just chillin'! Cruisin' in the Challenger, kickin' it wit the team and "continue to smoke and stay G as f*ck!" As with "Up," I'm feelin' this track from the underbelly to the lyrics to the video!

Trey Songz!

 Here is the video for 'Already Taken' which premiered on 106 today! Love the track!!




Like the video... especially the one on one shots where he is singing the song to her face to face but I'm not really feelin the couch shots with her dancing around! I don't know, it just isn't working for me though, well until that very playful kiss at the end!
