Custom Fitteds: Custom Hat from Jay Cruz on Strictly Fitteds.com

Jay Cruz Custom Hat

I haven’t done my 25 – 30 readers justice! I have been focusing so much on sneakers that I have totally forgot about what is going on in the fashion areas. Strickly Fitteds.com is a place I stop by weekly (I see I need to stop by there more often) and this post on a custom hat that Jay Cruz created was posted a while ago but I didn’t say anything about it.

Well, let me say something now: This is the fly-est custom hat I have seen in a long time. I don’t know how original it is in concept cause I don’t watch the hat scene like Strictly does, but I LOVE IT!!! Maybe its because I’m from NY and I have a affinity toward anything subway, but I think it looks great and was well done.

On Strictly Fitted, they have more shots of this hat and what seems like a different hat in the post. I’m too slow to realize if they are 2 different hats or not but all the pics only show how fly Jay Cruz is.

Visit Jay Cruz’s MySpace here: www.myspace.com/jaicruz22

Oh and something else I found while browsing Strictly Fitted, I saw this site that shows you just how important picking the right hat with the right sneaker. My Fitteds.com isn’t a site I have ever bought from so I can’t vouch for the site, but it was on Strictly Fitteds so its probably ok. Happy shopping.


LOL: Nike Air Yeezy aka the New Kanye West Sneaker

This is a incredible sneaker day! Nike and Kanye West has teamed up and has made this sneaker. Its been talked about for a while now, but this is the first time an actual picture of the sneaker showed up.

The sneaker has shown up on Nicekicks, sneakernews and Individual Sole sneaker sites.

Other than the news that Kayne is talking about his sneakers, the real news to me is what he is wearing while showing off his sneakers. Man, Kayne West can sure come up with some… interesting… outfits.

Take a close up look at this one!

Well, at any rate the sneaker look pretty good. They also look pretty odd, but nevertheless they are still good looking. Not sure about the name (Air Yeezy??? LMAO) The sneaker seems to have some elements of the Air Jordan III and some other sneakers like the Flight 89 and the Air Revolution (I personally only see the AJIII and the Flight’s but sneakernews.com also sees the Air Revolution so I’ll put that in there too lol). I am sure this sneaker will not be for everybody but it is still history making in my mind… and yes I know it isn’t the first time an artist has gotten a sneaker deal, but for Nike to do it seems wild to me.

This is just crazy… just crazy… Oh what a world!!! lol at the name of these sneakers… Air Yeezy? Good lawd.

EDIT:

Guess what folks? I found out thanks to Sneakerfiles that the glow in the dark (allot of the coments are positive too)!!! Take a look at what it looks like in the dark lol Now I REALLY can’t wait to see these sneakers! Also on Individual Sole, they show the latest images from the Glow In The Dark Tour as well as what some of the artists are wearing on stage.


OMG!!! Blast from the Past – Patrick Ewing Rogue II

Man, I totally forgot that Patrick Ewing had his own sneaker line (and yet for some reason I remember that Shaq had his own sneaker line lol). Does anybody here remember the Ewing? I think that he even had other players wearing them too much like how Nike signs up players to wear specific sneakers.

Nicekicks.com has some GREAT SHOTS of the sneaker from plenty of angles so if you want to take a look, be my guess. I don’t mind people leaving my little ole blog to go somewhere else… just make sure you come back! Who else gives you snarky remarks on these sneakers and shoes? LMAO!!!


Air Jordan 23 NEW LOVE Motorsports Colorway

Well, well, well, looks like we may get a new colorway. I do wonder if it will be a limited sneaker or something for a general release? News of this came out during a event hosted by Gentry Humphrey.

The new colorway comes from the colors used for Micheal Jordan’s motosport team. If you are wondering why people are calling it New Love is because it is well known that Micheal Jordan loves his new love which is motosports. The only other new love sneaker that I know of is the Old Love new Love Air Jordan 1 pack that came out many moons ago. An no I have no idea why the New Love in the AJ1 pack was black and yellow when clearly the motosports team is white and blue… LOL

More news on Nicekicks and you can also find it on sneakerfiles.com as well.


Better Pictures of the Air Jordan 23 White and Red ON Nicekicks.com

Nicekicks.com put up some great close up shots of the next Air Jordan 23 to release and I have to say it is one of the best colorways to come out for AJ23. Well, ok, I actually rather liked the Titaniums and the Black Stealths but this colorway does take second place in the battle of the AJ23 colorways.

The white and red AJ23 is set to release May 31 2008. Make sure you have you budgets set because this will be a limited release. Not sure how limited of a release, but it will be limited.

Also, I can’t tell from any of the pictures if this sneaker has patent leather on it or not.
I hope it does have patent leather… I’m tired of patent leather. Give me suede or give me regular Italian leather (hey, I am paying 185 dollars for this thing so it better be real leather… Italian preferred) not patent leather, please. Their killing me with the patent leather!!!
