23

It’s my birthday today.

This piece isn’t very sneaker related (except for 23 being Jordan’s number, but that’s a bit of a stretch of course), but as this is my site, I figured it would be alright to alot myself one birthday-related post.

It’s crazy to think that I graduated from high school about five years ago, and have been able to legally drink for the last two. It feels like just yesterday that my homies and I were slinking into the gas station at 18 to buy cigars and chew and thought it was so dope that we could legally do that. read more

Best Sneakers Of The Year #2: Jordan I SB “Lance Mountain” Black

by

We’re down to the top two.  Biggie or Pac? LeBron or KD? Who’s #2 and who’s #1?

After careful deliberation between all the dope kicks that released this year, I was finally able to get it down to 2, and this was the hardest decision on the whole list hands down, as the two top shoes of the year were neck and neck (you’ll find out which shoe took the number 1 spot later this week of course).

Without further ado, coming in at a very close second on the Best Sneakers Of The Year list is the Jordan I SB “Lance Mountain” in the “Black” colorway. read more

Best Sneakers Of The Year #3: Jordan x Fragment Design AJI

by

fragment 1

It hasn’t even released yet, but here it is, #3 on my Top 5 Kicks Of 2014 list. “Why?” you might be saying. “Why would you rank a shoe that hasn’t even dropped yet so highly?” Well there’s a few reasons for that, and if you read on, you’ll find out.

First and foremost, as you know if you’ve read almost any other article on the site, the Jordan I is my favorite Jordan model of all time. Nothing else even comes close. Crispy and brand new or beaten up and dirty, they look great either way, and the silhouette really works with anything. read more

Staff Pickups: Jordan I “Melo”

by

This week, I grabbed a pair of the “Melo” Jordan I’s from my good friends over at Studiiyo23. With the crazy black and gold color scheme and the new box, it was a must-grab pair for me, especially because as everyone knows, I’s are my favorite Jordans of all time. Check out a few snaps of the shoe (and the new packaging!) below!

Best Sneakers Of The Year #4: Supreme x Nike Air Force 1

by

The countdown is back. We started off last week with #5….and here’s #4. The #4 sneaker of 2014 is the…

Supreme x Nike Air Force I

supreme air forces

Take a classic model that’s always been associated with New York. Take New York’s most prominent and successful streetwear brand Supreme. Take a simple base colorway with loud all-over branding and what do you have? That’s right, you’ve got the Supreme Air Force I. Nike and Supreme have linked up in the past for everything from SB Dunks to Bruins to Foamposites (and even an Air Force I Low), but these Air Force I Highs might be one of their best collaborative efforts to date. read more
