Things That I Miss (Part 1)
Posted by admin | Filed under Uncategorized
I was roughly 14-15 years old when they released these. Not quite into Air Jordans but definitely a Nike head. I didn’t know much about the releases, but remembered his Airness as an incredible player (despite the fact that as a New Yorker I had a disposition for the Knicks). I would soon learn about the Air Jordan XI’s, a classic piece of footwear that still sells out whenever word gets out that they will be released. Brand Jordan has been very discreet with these over the years because they understand the power that these sneakers have. Seamless, creative, sleek, and chic–they’re f–king fly.
The XI’s had seen retro-activated back in the ‘00-’01, but the most eye-catching was the Snakeskin XI’s. These had never been made before and took a hugely creative spin on an already beautiful sneaker. I had friends who wore these out, seen stores sell out (in particular the blue ones), and would later see dudes rock big sizes of the pink ones, which were made for girls, once pink became the “it” color.
Dipset bitches!
Since then the XI’s have been retro’d only a handful of times, and each time they’ve managed to elude my grasps, either selling out or me just not having money at the time of release. This November, will see the re-release of the Space Jam XI’s (referred to as such due to MJ wearing them in the motion picture). Only time will tell if I’m able to finally get my hands on a pair. Nonetheless, bringing the Snakeskin’s back wouldn’t hurt either. C’mon Nike let’s make it happen.

Preview: Good Hair
Posted by admin | Filed under Uncategorized
I genuinely respect when films/documentaries explore an overlooked societal issue. Beauty is only skin deep, but it’s amazing how deep that skin (and hair) really is. Even more interesting is the extent that people are willing to go to ascertain the “look”. In any event, I applaud Chris Rock for this.
Dear Kanye…

Dear Kanye,
Let’s face it–you will probably never read this. And to be frank maybe this is more appropriate for following of loyal brand consumers who worship you as their personal god and are willing to shell out $215 for your moderately priced sports shoe as well as as upwards of $1000 for your luxury shoe.
With that said, I can’t help but notice your affinity for a hip-hip classic, the 6″ Timberland…
I’ve noticed lately that you have a penchant for rocking the “constructs” (short for construction), much to everyone’s surprise, more specifically trendspotters and fashion geeks.
To be frank, as a native New Yorker, I don’t think constructs have ever gone out of style. True there were high points for this timeless classic (namely the 90’s), but Tims have always been a safe choice much like Uptowns (AF1’s), Dunks, Air Jordans, and Adidas shelltoes. There are somethings that never go out of style.
By no means is this meant as a shot at you. Heck, I even have my own share of style cues and influences that were probably influenced by you
What I think would be even more worth your time and an even greater challenge is rocking something that is fronted on constantly, say Pro-keds, Clarks (I still rock Wally’s on my Wu-Tang ish), heck, try Dolomite or Vasque boots and seriously test the loyalty of your consumers/customers. Staple recent released a line of Airwalks that will be sold exclusively at Payless. Mr. Staple already has his following, but can you imagine what Payless would look like if you wore a pair to a red carpet event?
Totally a Kanye shoe…
So think about it Mr. West. If Hakeem Olajuwon can do it, so can you.
Sincerely,
Yellow Rebel

Took some time off from blogging. Had a lot to take care of some stuff. Trying to formulate some good blog entries.
The last weeks included a mix debauchery. I know I’ve been posting mostly videos and not as much music, or anything constructive. I’ll be trying to fix that soon.
Holy Sh-t Nas was in Queens

Peeped on Nah Right by way of Uncle Ralph
Should’ve expected that since RTB was on Sunday. Congrats on the child man. Wow, how crazy must it be to have torn down RTB (along with Slaughterhouse and Wu-Tang) and to have your ex-wife give birth 2 days later. Talk about not being able to rest.
Whether was a bummer in NY, as you can see by the turnout of the crowd. Had someone announced the day before that Nas was going to be at QB park, I’d imagine it’d be packed. Takes me back to ‘04 to the famous Summerstage performance.
