In Fashion News: Would You Buy A 20 Dollar White Tee?

Lot29, a clothing company of which I believe is related to Warner brothers in some way, thinks so. Just add a little just above the heart and BAM!!! 20 Dollars. At least it is safe for the environment. No problem making it or throwing it away.

Luckily, this shirt is on sale… well its actually a SUPER SALE where the shirt now is $3.99. Comes in other colors too.


In Fashion News: New Era “The Dark Knight” Fitteds

Man, New Era just keeps hitting them left and right. Are there any other hat companies out there? I remember back in the da when i first sw New Era. I said to myself, “What kinda name is that?” Well, look at them now.

As I said before, I don’t really wear hats unless its a gasby or something like that. With that said, I think New Era could have done better with the image layout. The best looking ones are the police/swat fitteds. I would think the Batman fitted would be the best but not today lol

I’m sure there will be plenty of people getting them though, I just think they could look better. You can get them at Dr. Jays.com


Nike Blazer Getting Real Popular in NYC

I see these sneakers everywhere. I have seen them in Brooklyn, Manhattan and Queens (sorry, I haven’t been to the Bronx or Staten Island in a minute) and they are on the ladies feet as well as the guys. I see other Blazers too, but mostly these so far. Maybe I I just didn’t notice the other ones or something and people got the other flavors of the Nike Blazer.

Anyway, here is some other ones that are coming out soon (or are out now):

Nike Blazer Zodiac Signs Cancer

Dave’s Quality Meat Nike Blazer Collection

Are Blazers taking over the world (or just NYC). I don’t think I will get them because I hardly wear the sneakers I got PLUS my sneaker budget is totally gone out of control. I’m still trying to figure out how I’m going to get the Fusion III’s, 2 more countdown packs (20+3 and 11+12), Creative Recreation Ceriaro, and a bunch of other stuff. Plus, I would like to ACTUALLY GET to one of those exclusive limited drops from those boutique stores.

Then their is the Foamposites… but that is next year.

I guess I better start working overtime.

Oh and some celebs were caught in the blazers too… the shiny ones. More Blazers. Much thanks to The Shoe Game.com


BMX Sure Is Getting Mad Sneaker Play: Michael Lau x Nike Blazer SB BMX

As seen on The Shoe Game.com

This is soooo awesome!!! I love the box, I love the look of the sneaker (ok, I don’t super love it, but I like it) and the whole idea of how they put it down. Its very much like the Lobster release cause its comes with cool related items.

More info here and here. Way more picture there.


HiTop and LowTop Air Jordan Fusion 20

Air Jordan Fusion 20 (ummm… the high tops lol)

Air Jordan Fusion 20 Lo

I think the AJ Fusion 20 looks pretty ok… but I am super tired of seeing patent leather on every other Air Jordan sneaker. Maybe its because I’m grown and sexy and I’m not into shiny flash everyday of the week because the kids seem to like it so I am guessing that Brand Jordan will be doing the patent leather for a minute.

The low tops don’t seem to have much in common with the high version, then again they do (maybe its just the patent leather shininess confusing me). The back, the midsole and other areas are similar but I really think the lo-top is the better looking sneaker and t really seems to have its own identity.

But I am sure to change my mind when the final pictures come out.
