Duffy @ The Apollo

I never thought my first trip to the Apollo would be to see a British white chick sing, but hey, shit happens.   Duffy was cool, but the real treat for me was just getting to check out the historic Apollo Theater (Thanks Straughn!).

Another treat was swinging by Atmos which was right down the block.   [...]

New Kanye Grammy Nike Colorway - Air Yeezy! (Glow in the Dark Tour)

 

Since any post about “Kanye and Nike” is blog traffic gold, I thought I would post a pic of a new colorway that debuted tonight at the first stop on his Glow in The Dark tour. Nike/Kanye haven’t even shared any real background on these shoes, yet they are already unveiling new colorways. What do [...]

Bathing Ape - Bapesta Squash

Since Stan Smith’s are one of my favorite all time sneaks, I can dig these new Bapes - hopefully some of the first in what will be a long line of tamer looks from Bathing Ape. I will be liquidating just about all of my pricey Bape jackets over the next few weeks, [...]

Kanye West - Grammy Nikes

Close up:

Although the details are still a little unclear at press time, Kanye’s Grammy appearance in a pair of slick black Nikes did exactly what was intended: stir up some serious internet buzz. Even Hypebeast was asking readers for help. After reading a number of blog posts with totally unconfirmed [...]

Visvim - Folk

I come from a long line of shoe people. My grandfather was in the shoe business for 50 years, my parents have both been in the shoe business for their entire lives. They live it, breathe it, and understand it incredibly well. I totally blame them for my obsession. Apparently [...]

SoHo Blogger Trifecta… Almost

DUDE! Tuesday morning was so exciting!! During my morning walk on the tiny block between my subway stop and Starbucks, I saw two of Soho’s three most prominent bloggers (well, at least the ones I read). First, I see Phillip from BBC walking his dog - ok, its not confirmed that he actually maintains [...]

Road Tested - Reebok Pump Omni Lite

The black/white shoe obsession continues. This time I had to pick up a classic from the past, but one that appealed to my new (or should I say ‘current’ sensibilities. This is the Reebok Pump Omni Lite. These bulky bitches are ultra-comfortable, wide as hell, look oh so nice, and have actually helped curb a [...]

Beast to the Extreme

Obsessing over Nike is bad enough. Obsessing over the people that work on Nike ads is pathetic. Hypebeasting to the extreme.  Please don’t take that the wrong way.   I understand and respect that level of dedication.  Honeyee, interviewed a handful of W+K’ers. This will prove to be completely irrelevant to [...]

Adidas Flow Team?

Look what the postman brought by the house the other day. Shoes showing up is nothing unusual, but I did not purchase these shoes!  I do own this same pair of shoes - perhaps the subject of a future Road Test - but it seems adidas felt the need to send me another pair. Obviously, [...]

Road Tested: Bapesta

Let me answer your first question. Yes, these are for sale. I will give them to you for half price - say $90, shipped I have had tons of Bapes over the years, in many shapes, styles, colors, and - ahem - even sizes, since Pondon’s 10.5s are typically way cheaper than 11s. I [...]
