The Thirst Is Real: Everyone Loves The Jordan I

by

If you were in the market for a pair of “Chicago” Jordan I’s this weekend, you already know how it went. Everyone from your friends to your neighbor’s mother to your 7th grade math teacher were in the market for a pair. The promise of remastered quality on a classic sneaker was hard for even the most casual sneakerhead to ignore.

The hype was so real that Nike even canceled the online release (along with the release of the “Pinnacle” I’s) to ensure that they weren’t all snapped up by bots. Sizes were very limited in Minnesota, and those lucky folks with winning raffle tickets must have felt like they were holding a Golden Ticket for Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. read more

BLVCK SPVCE Freestyled On Sway In The Morning

by

Last week Soundset took over the Twin Cities, bringing with it all kinds of artists and hip-hop aficionados including Sway Calloway, who was in town to host the event.

Sway has been known to do a live broadcast from Fifth Element when he’s in town, and this year was no exception. He hosted several interviews, and held another Minnesota mega cypher.

What makes this year’s cypher special though is KicksOneTwo homies GoodKarmaNiles, 1990, and RP Hooks of BLVCK SPVCE got their turns on the mic. Check the video below for all the flames that your speakers can handle (BLVCK SPVCE starts around the 8:30 mark). read more

I Put Andrew Zimmern On To Kith

by

It’s story time.

Yes, I’m taking it back to preschool and telling a story. It involves a Travel Channel show host and a dope brand out of New York City. It’s fairly short, and pretty funny, and without further ado, I’ll get right to it.

As many readers of this site know, I’m a manager at a sneaker store. Which sneaker store I’m a manager of is not important. If you know me personally, you already know which store it is, and if you don’t you’ll probably run across me sooner or later. read more
