Anticipation...

The Vans x Usagrow Pack is still on my radar, been there since pics were leaked back in 08'. Usagrow outdid himself on this colaboration. In my opinion these are by far the sickest Half Cabs ever.






Scheduled to drop real soon...so stay tuned.

One Bad Mutha...

***Note to Mr. Piff, I DO THE SPORTS ROUND THIS BITCH!!!***

Ok, I'm going to start this off with a disclaimer. I'm not being an emotional Bitch, because my team (Dallas Cowboys) was eliminated. And NO, I'm not smoking that ooooh weeee. Also you know I don't advocate "dick riding" on any level by any grown man. The following comments that you are about to read are those exclusively made by a man caught up in the moment and any rebroadcast or unauthorized use of my words without the express written consent of the National Football League or Igromo Inc. is prohibited.



What I witnessed on Sunday down in Miami was something my mother always warned me about as a kid. There are certain things that you just don't do, because there are always consequences for your actions. My mother told me not to go outside without my coat and hat on , because I might catch a cold. My mother told me not to eat and then go directly into the pool, because I could get cramps and die. She also told me to make sure I have on clean socks and underwear everyday, because you just never know. All things that to this day I still adhere too. Now I can't remember if my mom told me this or not, but even I know that you don't throw the football against the Ravens ANYWHERE NEAR ED REED, BECAUSE ONLY BAD THINGS CAN HAPPEN!!!!


In case you haven't noticed Reed plays a unique position in the NFL. It's called "Defensive Receiver" and he is the only one qualified to play it. He stands in the middle of the field like a pit bull and dares anyone (that means the football) to come into his yard. He stares down QB'S and baits them into throwing his way. In case you haven't noticed he doesn't break on the ball until it has left the QB's hand. Outside of Peyton Manning no one studies film as much as Reed and it shows because his gambles are now more calculated. He was vulnerable to pump fakes and QB'S who would look off their intended targets. Now he locks in on QB'S and with that organized gang that he plays with (Ravens Defense) bringing the heat he knows actually how long opposing teams have to get rid of the ball. Because of injuries he is no longer playing with reckless abandon and he is the perfect fit for the controlled chaos style that the Ravens play.


I'm not afraid to say this , but I think Ed Reed is best overall Safety I have ever seen in my lifetime and I got to see Ronnie Lott throughout his whole career. His instincts for the ball are second to none and his return skills are amazing. He blocks punts, makes interceptions, applies big hits, and inspires a secondary full of dudes I can't name to play at a high level. Remember an All Pro corner by the name of shit what's his name, Chris something?! Yeah Chris McCallister that's it. Because of Ed Reed's play the Ravens don't even miss McCallister and he is becoming almost as important to the team as Ray Lewis. That's some shit for your ass right there!!! I don't even wear jerseys right now, but I would rock an Ed Reed jersey quick and probably get jocked for it too. Ed Reed is Deon Sanders without the mouth and bright ass pin striped suits playing "defensive receiver". I'm going to ask Mayor Sheila Dixon if we can rename Sunday "Reeday". He inspires his team so much that when he picks off a pass they block and give him better protection than they do for Flacco. Tocaara's double G sized bra doesn't give her the protection that Reed gets.


Cherish these moments Ed Reed fans, because guys like this don't come along too often.

I'M OUT LIKE NUMBER 55 FOR THE COLTS. SORRY BUB!

HUSH...

I figured I'd spotlight my OTWS homie Hush (one of the best customizers I've seen in a minute), and some of his recent work. These KCK Air Force Hybrids done by Hush Fabrication are rediculous...combining the upper of Axion's AX-AE skate shoe with the bottom & the toe-box of an air force. The materials look top notch, and the end result is on point.

CLOT Does It Again...

The recent CLOT’s Air Force 1 design is by far the dopest & most innovative collaboration from Nike’s 1World Air Force 1 campaign. These specific Air Force 1s celebrate China’s Lunar New Year with a red motif synonymous for its representation of happiness, luck and prosperity. The shoes also feature a double layer design with an underneath pattern for those bold enough to want to cut-away the top layer of fabric. The unique “Chinese Candy Box” designed packaging features CLOT imagery on the rear.

My New Year's Resolution is....to limit the growth of my most expensive habit. And this is an "old" pic.



Nuff Said, Peace!

Puma turns 60...

Puma recently turned 60, and celebrated it's birthday in style. The "I am 60" anniversary event was held at The Great American Music Hall in San Fransisco and featured DJ Steve Aoki as well as performances by Lady GaGa.

JB...What The Hell?!

While browsing thru the JordanBrand section of Niketalk, I spotted some comparison pics that a NTer posted showing both his 2001 pair of Air Jordan Black/Red 11s & a 2008 CDP pair of Black/Red 11s.

Since I own the 2001s already (worn only twice) I was curious to see the differences. Thou almost all the pics were nearly identical...this one just stood out to me...actually it pissed me off.

2001s on top...CDP on bottom. Can U spot what's different?












A BACKWARDS ASS JUMPMAN SIGN ON THE LEFT SHOE OF THE CDP?!


This is completely unacceptible! You mean to tell me that this multi-billion dollar company can't even produce a shoe with both jordan signs right anymore? How the fuck did this happen?! Did their under-paid workers mess up one shoe...then said fuck it, we're already behind schedule. Just keep making them, maybe no one will notice. And I'm suppose to pay $310 for this shit?! I'm the first one to not care too much about quality issues on shoes...but gotdamn!
I mean...you'll look ok wearing them with jeans, with the sign covered. But in the summertime with shorts on, those are "bootleg city". You expect some shit like this from Tony on the corner...but from JordanBrand itself?! Guess you can't pop your tongue with these babies on.




"WRONG WAY MIKE! WRONG WAY!"

Man...I'm sooo glad I got my 2001s still fresh. EZ PASS!

Sign Of The Times...



N.E.R.D. has release another video off their stellar album Seeing Sounds, and once again they do not dissapoint. "Sooner or Later", directed by the Malloy brothers, the video reflects on the dire state of the U.S. economy in these times. Pharrell, Shay, & Chad do what they do best...laying down that classic rock inspired track during events following the Wall Street stock market crash. Also peep the guest appearance by Rod Drydek.

Peep the vid here.

I Go Hard...

Arrogance is thinking highly of one-self no matter what. No matter if one is wrong, no matter if one looks foolish, no matter if others are offended, no matter period!

I have come to the conclusion that Kanye Tuda is the most arrogant individual on this planet. Mr. West has always been considered arrogant, but with this new album 808 and HeartBreak, he has reached the level of arrogance never traversed before by any man.

Only the most arrogant S.O.B. ever would stray from his successful lyrical roots to drop an entire album sounding like the lost episode of Alvin & the mother fuckin' Chipmunks. Then to make matters worse...Yeezy doesn't even take mercy on his audience at live shows by lip syncing his shit.

Let me be the first to state this.......KANYE WEST CAN'T MOTHER FUCKIN' SING!!!!!!

Yet he still gets up on stage and belts out an endless supply of NASTY ASS NOTES in an attempt to sing knowing damn well that he can't. Concluding his performance with 40 seconds of leg twitching & shuckin' and jivin' doesn't change that fact!!!

Let me make this clear folks, Kanye KNOWS perfectly well that he sounds like "cooked" shit, but he could care less. He does what he wants...how he wants. And at the end of the day, there is but two thoughts in his arrogant mind. YOU BITCHES BETTA' GO BUY MY ALBUM & THEM BITCHES BETTA' GET MY GRAMMY READY!!!





"You Can't Tell Me Nothing!" He wasn't lying....
