Space Jam II: Should It Happen??

Anyone who grew up in the 90’s loves Space Jam. It was an essential part of being a 90’s baby, from the party sets that everyone had at their birthday parties to the replica jersey and shorts that the cool kids would rock on the first day of school. Everyone’s favorite basketball players combined with everyone’s favorite cartoons made for a very enjoyable flick.

Fast forwards to 2015, and Space Jam is still very relevant. Jordan Brand drops various releases inspired by the movie. People are still rocking Tune Squad jerseys. You can cop the Blu-ray for the low low if you want to have it on deck. read more

The Cost Of Being A Sneakerhead

When you’re really into sneakers, you know there’s a price you’ve gotta pay. No, we’re not talking about 4-figure resell prices on a Fragment Jordan 1 or a Nike Basketball sample, we’re talking about the time and energy that you have to invest into the sneaker game to get what you want (usually more limited kicks) out of it.

It’s not all waltzing to the mall or your local boutique on release day, grabbing the kicks you want, and then stunting on your friends and breaking necks when you throw the shoes on. You’ve got to put in work to shine, just like anything else that’s worth doing. Let’s look at the cost of being a sneaker head, and identify some of the things you have to do to get your collection right. read more

Facebook Etiquette (2nd Installment)

What’s up everyone?? It’s Bobby here, back again with a second installment of my newly-formed Facebook Etiquette series. (You can check out the first installment here). I don’t know how many editions of Facebook Etiquette I’ll have, but we’ll just roll with it anyways.

The lesson today is how to properly respond to a for sale post on a shoe that you’re interested in. I cannot tell you how sick and tired I am of seeing people that are interested in the shoe say to the buyer, “Inbox me.” read more

Thoughts On OVO Collabing with Jordan Brand

ovo

CHARGED UP.

Drake has been all over the news lately. It seems like every time I refresh my Twitter feed, his name pops up. The majority of this publicity has come from Drake’s newly forged beef with Meek Mill. (Sidenote – I write all my own articles, I promise. Quentin Miller writes Ross’) (ed. note: Lies and debauchery from Mr. Cienik here. Quentin has never wrote anything for me. I’m going to go write a diss article right now to prove it). If you haven’t seen the countless memes aimed at the two rappers, you’re definitely not following the right people on Twitter or Instagram. read more

This is a shameless plug for our Instagram. I’m not going to try to be stealthy or work my way into it…I’m just going to come out and say it…check it out!

The “Fight” At Sneakercon

It’s been a few days now, but chances are if you casually surf though the sneaker inter webs, you’re still greatly enjoying the footage of the fight (if you can even call it that) that occurred at SneakerCon NYC. In the event you haven’t seen it yet, it’s right here for your viewing pleasure.

Absolutely hilarious, right? Watching two scrawny kids halfheartedly grapple while the crowd oohs and ash like a MMA fight is going on is comedy gold. The little extra push at the end of the video is chuckle-worthy as well. read more
