H-Town Sneaker Summit Winter 2011/ Cool Kids

2011-01-25T09:44:00.000-08:00

Went to the H-Town Sneaker Summit this past weekend it was dope. Got there late but all in all it was cool. Unlike in the past it was in the Toyota Center. Thought it would be cool but have to say that is a negative. It wrapped around all weird but got to finally meet the FFB and met up with my homie Troung from Loyal KNG. Made one cop which was a sweatshirt from Loyal KNG. I have a ton of FFB. Didn't go to the Cool Kids show even though I had a ticket (mainly cause I was gonna go solo but oh well). Next time IDGAF about it I am going.

Peace Out,

Ironman/ Metalocalypse SB Dunk High

2010-10-31T23:11:00.000-07:00

So some recent news in the sneaker community, well not so recent to me, is that Nike SB is releasing the Ironman/ Metalocalypse Dunk High. These dunks are so dope with a mixture of materials looks like suede, nubuck and patent leather. The swoosh is also a double swoosh which is the dopest thing on an SB.

Well thats the Ironman Dunk hope y'all can cop and all I got to say now is....

Peace Out,

Jordan Brand Holiday 2010 Releases

2010-10-27T19:57:00.000-07:00

Here are some selected releases for Jordan Brand. The only ones I like are the Jordan 13 "Altitude" and obviously if you know me the Jordan 3 "Doernbecher". These kicks like all Jordan's will be over priced but hey the "Doernbecher" 3's are gonna be worth it because proceeds go to the Doernbecher Children's Hospital.

Peace Out,
JD.

Cavs. V. Celtics

2010-10-27T19:48:00.000-07:00

I was out playing basketball and got home to see that the Celtics who yesterday beat the Miami PRE-Heat lost to the LeBron-less Cav's. WTF, I must say this is disappointing but hey go Cav's.

Peace Out,
JD.

Rockets V. Lakers

2010-10-26T22:37:00.000-07:00

Game justed finished and unfortunately we lost to these World Champ Lakers (OVERRATED) but never the less we need to cut down on these turnovers and make sure we maintain leads. 2010 Rockets are gonna be a good team to watch as the season progresses. Don't sleep on us NBA we are coming after you this season.

Boston V. Miami

2010-10-26T21:49:00.000-07:00

Saw most of the opening game for Celtics and Heat (more like PRE-Heat). I have to saw this game was cool I can't lie I enjoyed the Heat losing and watching Rajon Rondo run the point. Dude is a great player, he is what a real point guard is. Both sides looked off but, hey its the first game of the season. Must say though homie is playing good.

Peace Out,
JD.

Deftones Concert

2010-10-26T21:39:00.000-07:00

Went to the Deftones concert last week 10.20.2010. Have to say it was a good feeling to go back to a concert at Verizon Wireless Theater. Chino and all the guys put on a great show. Funny part was that these broads out of the 90's got kicked out during the first song of the opening act. All in all it was a great show with some cool people.

Peace Out,

JD.

Jordan 3's Coming Soon

2010-09-08T12:39:00.000-07:00

Also in Feb. 2011 we will see the return of the "White Cement" 3's as well both I believe will be $150.00USD retail not to too sure though.

Thanks for checking this out and hope you guys can get a chance to cop these two iconic shoes.
