We are 19 days away from the last installment of the Jordan Era. Its been a long time coming but its about to be on! The Jordan 23 is set to debut and the heads are already going nuts. Of course we are use to the black and red Chicago Bulling colorways but the man isn’t co-signing them so what is the first color to debut…University Blue(Shout out to the undefeated Tarheels!)

Only 23 pairs will be shipped to the top twenty three Jordan Brand retailers. The price point is hitting you for $230. Ugggh! Suck ya teeth and prepare to drop those dollars! Jordan heads gotta get up on these bad boys!

Stay tuned as I get the skinny on who exactly is gonna carry the “Blue Bombers”.

One of the freshest birthday gifs I received were the new Kool Bob Love x Nike Air Force One HI Premium (Red).

The shoes were released as part 2 of the Collab btwn Bobbito Garcia and Nike’s 25th Anniversary of the Air Force One. Part 1 was released earlier this year (2007) with 3 different Air Force One Lows (Check one of those sneaker sites or Google for more info)

Anybody who knows me knows I’m not one of those sneaker collector dudes, I dont have kicks sitting in glass cases in my house, When I get a pair of kicks (not matter how exclusive) you can count of seeing them on my feet!!!

With that being said special extra shout out to Nike VS for sending these my way and to Bobbito for making these as comfortable as possible (THE LEATHER IS BUTTA SOFT!!!).

I dont watch much TV but I caught this commerical over Thanksgiving Weekend. Its a new AT&T commerical of a guy traveling threw some of the worlds top sneaker boutiques Alife (NYC), UNFTD (LA), Motive807 (Austin, TX) and Solebox (Berlin, Germany). Nowadays these boutiques are big business making hand over fist overcharging kids for Nikes in the name of “Limited Edition.” Many times you can find the same kicks in these shops in some of the hood spots for $30 cheaper. Either way I thought the commerical was dope especially when I found out it was directed by Chris Robinson (Robot Films).

You might know Chris Robinson from his recent music videos Jay Z – Roc Boys, Common – Driving Me Wild, T.I. – What You Know About That, ATL the Movie, Nas – One Mic, Etc, Etc, Etc….

Another thing thats interesting is they actually rebuilt these stores in a Hollywood studio to look like the real shops!

Chris Robinson is NICE, and definitly Google him if your not up on his work.

Check the commerical below.

This past Saturday was the 4th Annual Sneaker Pimps Tour in Atlanta. I remember vividly the very first one to take place in ATL in the small space of More Dusty Than Digital (R.I.P.) in Little Five Points. There was just some custom kicks, a Dj, a small bar, and about 100 people.

After that the event moved to MJQ for year 2, The Loft for year 3 (which feat a performance by Kool Keith), and now year 4. 

The venue was the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center, which I’ve past several times but have never been inside of. After only about 2 minutes of being inside I am informed by Dj Creashun (CE Crew) that somebody there looks just like me – and he just ran up on that person thinking it was me. At first I laughed it off, but as the night progressed more and more people approached me saying this person resembled me a lot.  Finally after the 10^th person told me this, I decided to find this guy – D Woods snapped the pic, and I wanted to post it to see what you think? Does every skinny light skin brotha with a fitted on look like me?

There was a stage outside, a half pipe (skateboard ramp) inside, and what seemed like 500 custom kicks. Everywhere you turned seemed to be a new experience.

One of the highlights for the night was the amount of ladies who came threw with fresh kicks. Around midnight the Clipse took the stage and ran threw their hits along with random mixtape tracks. We also caught Malice (Clipse) on the Ramp getting it in.

Dj’s Lord and Tiger Lilly head down the sounds for most of the evening.

Shout out to D Woods, Freddie, Nita, Dave Jeff (Phli), Steve (New Era), Peter, Brady, Mike, Young Joc, Kenny Burns, Jerrell, Greg Street, Cope 2 (KD / NYC KING) and everybody else that I bumped into that evening. Everyone had a Wonderful time and can wait for Sneaker Pimps 5!
