As seen on Custom Sneaker (http://customsnkr.com/). these are pretty nice. Can;t say that I would were them, but that is not the point. the point is that there is some true creativity going on here. Maybe, just maybe, some sneaker brand should make some exclusives for the kiddies to get thir hands on (and I am sure some adults would still like to get a pair lol)
I just saw this commercial and thought I heard wrong… but I wasn’t wrong. I was so right. I am not sure the kids will be all over this. I mean, will they even know who Larry Byrd is?
I guess time will tell. For me, this just confirms just how big the footwear market has become for the kiddies. Everybody is trying to get their foot in there. As soon as I see them online I’ll post a picture here.
Rockwell x Alife x Patta join forces on my desktop
That’s right people. One day i hope to take your fanaticalism onto your desktop. I am working on some junk for your desktop trunk. I got this wallpaper from Burt Youngsters and practically begged him to make a wallpaper shot of this (I hope he does eventually).
Anyway, what is there on Flickr is good enough for my laptop screenspace. You can get the picture here. As for what else is on the desktop… lol I will just keep that to myself for now. I am sure if there is anyone who is really into desktop customization (skinning) then they probably know. Icons, cursors, windows, widgets and wallpapers all changed.
Coming your way Winter 2008!!! A Sneakers And Shoes EXCLUSIVE (for once lol)
So I didn’t get them. That’s right, you heard me correctly. I didn’t get what could be the most wanted retro-sneaker this year. I am trying so hard to stay on budget and I just couldn’t see them fitting in my already bloated Jordan sneaker budget. 310 dollars for 2 pair of sneakers (when you really only want one pair LOL) is a but much THIS YEAR. Now next year I won’t have to many problems paying 600+ for the one sneaker, but this year its a no-no.
What is funny about what I just wrote is that if Finishline gets more (and they usually do) I might be inclined to get them, but then again I just don’t know.
Anyway, Nicekicks.com has a nice mini-comparison of the old retro and the original Carmines. I still remember back in the day when I got them on the sales rack at Kings Plaza for 79.99 (and yes they were real cause I got them from a national retail sneaker/sports wear chain) and I really liked them because they were so original and not too many people rocked them (from what I remember). I took them home but since I was getting them for fashion and not play, I ended up taking them back. Why? Because I didn’t have anything that went with them lol. My first pair of Jordans I ever owned taken back because I felt Mama couldn’t really afford to buy them and she could use the money for something else.
Well, anyway, that is my sob story. For those who got the pack, congratulations. Next weekend is the Air Jordan 23 White and Red (the next sneaker holy grail LOL)
