INSTANT CLASSIC : INSTANT FAVORITE : THE AJKO



I don't even care that these weren't on discount the only thing I care about is that I only bought one pair! It's been a while since I've bought something that right out of the box I truely love everything about. The price, the look, the feel, the history (even if they are retro-vintage-ified) The AJKO is quite possibly the hottest shoe out right now! If you have a chance, pick these up! I will have a few pairs before the year is out. #nobrag #musthave



*sidenote my legs are getting brolic from all that running! wow! Looking like Arnold in Twins.

SNEAKER COLLECTOR DAWIN MAKES IT ON MTV





The MTV media clip features some New York collectors representing their penchant for flashy sneakers and what that entails on a daily basis. Flight Club's own Dawin makes an appearance on the clip, prominently perched atop thousands of dollars worth of footwear in a classic spanish living room. I'm sure that couch is covered in plastic lol. Ok to click play now.

COMPULSIVE SNEAKER DISORDER KICKS RECESSION TO THE CURB



Has Chris Vidal has become the NYS spokesperson for sneaker-phials everywhere? I didn't even get a vote. (I'm kidding Chris) Here's yet another cameo by Grandpajoe as reporters cover the same topic over and over and over.

If I was still pursuing my journalism degree (which I'm not because there are no jobs there) I would probably cover how some shops of new york have closed their doors and online sites due to this recession that has actually kicked their asses - OR- interviewed some kids that have had to sell all their prized possessions to pay bills while they look for new jobs they've been laid off from - OR - an editorial on how Sole Collector Magazine is just a huge ongoing Greek goddess commercial. But who has the time for that nonsense? Click play I guess or leave a comment.

(Recession or not: Bespoke will probably never see me in there unless its an entertainment comp)

ADIDAS FORUM HI/LO TONAL PACK

adidas-originals-forum-tonal-pack-4

Forums always annoyed me with that dammed strap. But I can't really complain with these color-ways. Reminds me a little bit of the Teletubbies in sneaker form. Definitely worthy of the green or red pairs to be added to my closet. No set release date I'll update accordingly.

ADIDAS NIZZA LO ZIPPER

adidas-nizza-lo-zipper-2

These remind me a little bit of Kangaroos with the zipper pouch. but these have a more aesthetically appealing use of the zipper although a bit less useful. Get yours here! (or just hope Adidas.com gets them in)

Kicks and Chicks done right! Playboy looks out to its Playboy Mansion East Headquarters neighbors, Chi-Towns own Leaders1354 to produce a long awaited and previously immaturely done versions of this concept by solecollector and others. Leaders provided the kicks and Playboy provided the... This should be repeated with some AVN talent to really make things interesting, and hopefully with better sneakers too.

DEAL TO BE HAD : DVS LUXE X RAY BAN COMBO PLATTER


Before I knock out for the day I wanted to post up this deal I was hogging all to myself up until it arrived at my doorstep. OnIy because I was shook that they would sell out before I got mine and now that they have, its fair game.

This DVS LUXE X RAY BAN combo retailed for $200.00USD when it first dropped, people didn't move on them as they should have it seems so now the In4mants dropped it down to $100.00USD. ($118 Shipped Domestically. HI folks pay tax, but you knew that.)

If you are a Ray Ban fan of the classics like me, you may already know that a pair of Wayfarers will run you about $119 + tax ( & shipping if you ordered online), and these are limited edition with the gold inner detailing, which you wont find after they sell out. The bonus is a pair of DVS leather kicks (which comes out to about FREE! Everyone Likes free!) is a win win. Although I'm not sure if the kicks are my stee-lo I'll hold them or probably sell them later on for fifty bucks or so. (They are size 10 btw ;) ) Either way this is a good look!

Get Yours Here!

ADIDAS ATTITUDE HIGH ANNIVERSARY EDTION

attitude-ny-2
Consider these Scooped! This year marks the 60th anniversary of Adidas and to celebrate, Adidas Attitude High "60 Years of Soles and Stripes" Edition.

In continuation of the celebration, I hope they drop low top version because my current pair is looking kind of hurt at the moment. I am also glad I held back and did not fall for the okie-doke by getting these, out of despiration. F' the Knicks, regardless this colorway is classic.



Now available at Colette (For The Overseas Blokes)

GRAIL STATUS : NIKE JORDAN FLIGHT SUIT!!

yhst-24404617071119_2031_11491995

Wowee, Wowee, Wowee, Harputs strikes again, and again! Two Jordan Flight Suits from 1984, the same year the NBA banned the Nike Air Jordan One. The controversy caused by the banning, lead to the shoe selling out consistently for decades to follow. This suit was an accomplice to that shoe hysteria, making this Flight Suit all the more iller! Spend it if you got it, this is THE collector's item!
