HIP HOP X SNEAKERS X ME

I remember seeing this album at Look and Listen like more than 12 years ago. I think this is one of the reasons I fell inlove with sneakers other than Jordans and "Bubbles".

This shit went hard. High and Mighty...these white boys were signed to one of the illest labels ever Rawkus Records. They collabed with Pharoah Monche, a very young Eminem and Mos Def.

Tell me this isnt dope: Two Minute Drill

CONVERSE - GET OUT OF THE GARAGE

 Im a Nikehead, everybody knows that and that Im signed with them...thats my family.

I got a mail a few hours ago regarding Converse and I had no problems putting on my blog. Why? Coz I like putting people on. If you have resources that can help others but dont then your are not rich. Wealth is not of the pocket, it is in the mind.

So this is a chance for unsigned artists to put in work. If you see this and dont act then dont ever ask for my help again. Read:

If you are a music fan you might have heard of the legendary The 100 Club in London, which has played host to some of the most influential artists on the planet since 24th October 1942. Well, Converse wants YOU to get out of the garage and be transported to the UK to play a gig at this epic venue.

SA’s finest unsigned musicians now have the chance to showcase their talent, whether it be hip hop, punk, kwaito, pop or whatever else they have to offer! Artists/Bands can upload their most original song and a short biography by visiting the Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/converse. The judges (Zulu Boy, John Savage and Garick Williams) will then narrow down the entries to SA's top 10 unsigned artists. Converse will then showcase these acts on Facebook, where South Africa can vote for their favourites and have the chance to join them VIP style for their gig.

So get out of the garage, share your music and showcase your talent. Get more info here http://www.facebook.com/ConverseSA. Be sure to follow the conversation on Twitter @Converse_Africa and with the #Play100Clubhashtag. Entries close 8th of July and winners will be announced on August 6th 2012.

NIKE AIR FORCE ONE LOVE

Ever since the Nike Air Force One craze started dying out in 2007 I have been guilty (like most) of putting the legendary shoe on the back burner. Nike can be blamed for this by overdoing it with releases and sub par colourways. Other than aquiring my grails I havent given much love to the shoe and rather focusing on filling the gaps in my Jordan collect. Over the past few months I have been rediscovering love for this icon in design.This year marks the 30th anniversary of the shoe and we are seeing some really nice offerings. This new love for the shoe got me looking up some old flames, in the hope of finding some beauties at old slut prices.Then I bumped into these (below). I thought I managed to get these out of my head but I stumbled across them on ebay I started drooling again. Air Force 1 Entourage (White Swoosh). They were designed and given especially to the writers of the hit series Entourague. A rumoured 10 pairs exist. They differ from the ones Turtle were given in that the swooshes are white.Im really considering dropping 16k on these.

GOURMET FOOTWEAR

I been liking their style for a while now. I'm getting a little older so I need to diversify a little, plus I'm a sucker for animal print, these are perfect.


HAKESY X PREZ ONE: CUSTOM SHIT

That weirdly nice moment when you click on a link because you were bored one night and it takes you to place you have literally been trying to find for years. This is like that.

I had been looking some custom sneaker accessories for a while now and the shit i could find was some lame as Sketcher-esque shit. Then one night while aimlessly chilling on the 'Book I came across something I really liked and got put onto the homie Prez One. Cool ass guy.

I hit him up and we started knocking this shit out. International shit. Check his work out:
