Hats and Dance Moves: Marvel x New Era Iron Man Fitted

New Era and Marvel as seen on Strictly Fitteds.com

If you have this hat on while your watching the movie, I will be mad at you. Where it anywhere else but at the movie theatre (unless you below the age of 12). I’m just saying; its a cool fitted no doubt, but don’t play yourself and go totally Iron Maned out LMAO.

New Era did it again. This hat posted on the hottest fitted hat site dedicated to fitteds is a pretty cool find. There are three versions of the hat so if your into Iron Man or just like how the hat looks, you have some choices.

But I’m just saying… don’t wear it when you go to the movie. If you do, be real hard about it but its still gonna make you loose some cool points. Get the t-shirt and wear that, ok lol

Oh and while your at it, you can do the Iron Man and take out the wrinkles on that hoooooooo no he didn’t!!!

LOL, I do wonder if this will be the dance of the summer? Thanks to Illseed for telling the world about this video.


On Sale: Jordan Countdown Shoe Bag on Finishline.com

$160.00 at Finishline.com

Well hawt darn this is expensive! I don’t know if i would spend that much for a bag that doesn’t do much other than hold a sneaker or 2. I have to admit, when it comes to stuff like this, FinishLine seems to give you your fix. If you want a Jordan backpack that looks allot like the Air Jordan 6, then go and get it (its 160 bucks on Finishline.com). As for the other AJ’s in this, i can barely see them. Here is thee description from the site:

This ultimate Jordan accessory is ready for your laptop or medium sized carry items. Jordan VI shoe bottom details and a stitched, magnetic flap closure with iridescent Jumpman, rubber Jordan-XVII-style eyelets and Jordan XX1 embroidery detail. Removable shoulder straps with brushed metal clips and embroidery detail. Fully lined, with an ergonomic Jordan-VI-themed handle. 61% nylon/39% polyurethane.

AJ 16 eyelets h’uh? lol Well, whether you see it or not its still a fresh looking bag. It costs too much for me though but if my sneaker budget wasn’t exploding, I would probably get it just to have it (I can’t imagine actually taking it out the house).


Rockwell x Alife x Patta RAP Everybody Mid on Individual Sole

Videos and pictures thanks to Individual Sole!

I have to put Alife on my sneaker budget somehow. I don’t know how since its pretty tight with all those Jordans (this is the year of the Jordan after all) but I have to try. I really like the Everybody Mid.


I Just Want To Say This: I Love Baby Phat

I love that cat!!!

These shoes are just freakin hot and for 100 bucks, it aint too bad. I will have to ask one of my girl friends opinion of this but the bottom line for me is that I’m a guy and I know what I want to see on my girl and sthere is something about that cat on the back pocket of those pants that just turns me the hell on.

I love that Baby Phat cat. Simple and curvy and I like my women curvy lol. Its sold at many locations and different types of stores, but I like Dr. Jays the most (at least for online shopping… don’t get me wrong, I go to my Dr. Jays and Jimmy Jazz, but I mostly shop at Macys, Syms, Burlington Coat Factory, The Men’s Warehouse… I’m grown AND sexy, what can I say lol)

This post was made just to say that I like Baby Phat shoes and their pants. The rest of their clothing line is ok, but the shoes come first and the pants a close second. Lets go Baby Phat!!!


Vanessa and Angela Simmons PASRTY Keeps Doing Its Thing

Well, I am impressed. When Pastry first came out I said to myself, “Dude, another freakin sneaker company?” Yes, that is exactly what I said to myself. I could not even imagine them being close to successful. I wasn’t hating on them specifically, but I sure though the market is getting a little crowded. I mean, what’s next? Reverend Run sneakers? (ok, bad example) G-Unit sneakers Sean John sneakers Gucci sneakers Apple Bottom sneakers Timberland sneakers… ok, I think you get my point.

Anyway, Pastry actually is doing it really well. Their casual sneaker line really looks good. I especially like the Fab Cookie Boot (do not know why its called a boot when it obviously is a high top or mid sneaker) and I especially like the names for the different colorways. Double Chocolate Chip? lol Just saying it makes me wanna get this for my girl, whether she likes them or not.

I also like the Cake Runner shoe but do sort of wish it didn’t have “that air thing” at the back. Every shoe and its mother has “that air thing” for cushioning in the heel area. Some sneaker companies get away with it with the design. New Balance has this thing called Abzorb with clear plastic over the cushioning thing and it looks original. I don’t know. Maybe that’s what people want and sneaker companies just give it to them, but I just think they could be more original about it sometimes.

Did I mention they have those sneaker bags, handbags and now are getting into clothing too? (more…)


Nelly feat Jermain Dupri: You Stepped on My J’s – Teaser

Found this on Individual Sole and it sounds alright. Makes me wonder how they plan on doing the video for this song (if they do). If they do the video, what kind of sneakers will we see in it AND will we see some real Players Editions, OG and future Jordan Brand releases. Only in time will tell.
