FRONT ST.

Out of all the spots Ive been too, heard about and seen, this has to be my most anticipated one to visit yet. My boy out in Queens, Gizmo told me of the boutique and its grails that are shelved there. From there website it looks promising and I believe I have a half day on Friday so plan to follow through. Sharks, Flash sb dunks, and Hufmax Air Max 1's are only a few named fully stocked at the location and ill be DAMNED if I pass on sharks again. You might have heard of the website CantStopTheKicks, Well the people over at Front St. are the makers of this and everything you see on the site is only a little of what you might be able to pick up in the store itself. Located on Orchard st. this New York shop is one to add on the list of the best. Along with a superb sb collection to choose from you can also pick up tees, hoodies, and crewneck sweaters of Front St. apparel. If you choose to see for yourself visit there shop website at http://www.frontstreetny.com/ and see for your eyes. For readers who aren't as close to the tri state as they liked to be, stop by http://www.cantstopthekicks.com/ and place an order for your grails NOW!!!!

IVE YET TO HAVE SOLE

While posting through threads on Niketalk I came across the OLNL Air Jordan 1. The Black Toes I looked up were autographed by Michael Jordan. Some of you might say, that is common but these were not only autographed, but the signature was lasered onto the shoe itself. After a couple of days later it was said that such deeds can be done at Sole Bar. For those who haven't heard of the Bar it is located in LA and for the youngsters the name says it all. It is much more then a bar though, you can in fact laser your own sneakers with your own designs. The release of the bar, July, 7th 2007 had OG heads ecstatic of the new spot because there has yet to have been a place where shoe heads can come and converse on what they love. Sole Bar opened with releases of personally lasered AF1's, And 1's, and K-Swisses by the spot and I repeat offer there laser machine to those who stop by for a small fee! There were 28 pairs done of the Air Jordan and I in fact have set my eyes on the shoe and plan to own a pair myself! For anyone reading old enough to check out the spot shoot me an email, We might be able to do business!

BENT FOR THE HOLIDAYS

The days have come for your eyes to grow bigger than your stomachs. Where under age drinking is thrown away and child becomes the new adult. This weekend I am in Brooklyn with the family enjoying good eats. While Saturday after my digestive track should be fulfill, I hope to be in front of Slick Rick. Some take for granted the times they have with love ones and find nothing to be grateful of. Well I hope all is well with all this thanksgiving and you can finally find something to be thankful about. I know this year I have!

Peace and Love

KRINK THAT

For as long as I can remember Krink and ALIFE have not fallen ever since there come up together and I too highly doubt a change. Besides KR being one of my favorite artist, I will support anything he does. My only one problem is getting the ink at ALIFE because you must be of age to purchase the permanent markers. KR has finally put out new and more colourways in the K-71 marker and EZ squeeze. Along with the release of these new colors are new Krink apparel. I cant tell you where to get such or nor show you pictures but when you see me in the street with drip on my tee it wasn't by accident. By the way Is it me or does Angie grow Hotter and Hotter every time I see her.. SHOUTS OUT TO ARC.. 5 YEARS STRONG

HOLA TO BOBBITO!!

If you didn't know or couldn't tell, Ive got a little Puerto Rican in me and I'm not ashamed to say it when introduces the man of this Air Force 1 Hi pack. Bobbito Garcia, a man who was once and still named the sneaker conesoir and also host of the late T.V show Its The Shoes. Named Kool Bob Love these AF1's feature both a leather and canvas upper along with a patent leather check. To add the icing on the cake they both will include gum bottom soles. Besides the two you see a beef/broccoli colourway and Macaroni/cheese will hit shelves weeks after this release. Supposedly we will see the pack in mid December but I refuse to see that happen and wait so long!

3 the HARD WAY

Patta has yet released anything inside the U.S that Ive been able to get my hands on, until now. Patta introduces, 3 the hard way. A collaboration between Patta and 3 artist that are sure to make a scream come release day. The first is the heavy duty crew neck and hooded sweaters produced by Parra. What draws me to this release the most besides the fame Patta logo is the quality of these sweatshirts. Also the grey crew neck has side pockets as a hoodie would! This is just amazing and to my eyes never heard of and I sure will be online for this. I thought to myself, who could explain in depth better than the boys from Patta themselves. I wont tell you release dates because the last thing I need is a line before I even step into the area but If your that fascinated you'll know where to look.

"Patta proudly presents the "3 the Hard Way, Triple Threat, Patta Reworked" project. A special collaboration between Patta and three different progressive and internationally accepted artists. The artists have been chosen by Patta because of their creative talents and distinct styles, obviously some of Patta’s favourite designers. In our opinion they are pioneers and trendsetters, basically artists who know how to keep it fresh in this over saturated world of design and streetwear. They all think and work outside of the box and are not limited to the rules of graphic design.

The artists have each been commissioned to rework variations of the Patta brand name. We wanted to do a special Patta Winter series, which resulted in a collection of six different crewneck sweaters, two designs from each artist. All designs are printed on CYC Quality sweaters and the collection will be extremely limited. Every week we will be revealing one of the artists and the designs they've created for this project, accompanied by a mini interview.

To kick off and celebrate this special project we also produced a very limited series of sweaters with our beloved script logo created by Parra in three different colourways.

SPOTS IN THE AIR

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfMrYmD2HWY

At&T has just aired a commercial which I believe is a good look for the companies involved and also sets a good role as to were sneaker culture is today but honestly, I HATE IT in the same sense. Directed by Chris Robinson the commercial shows how service with this browser is available everywhere including Undefeated LA, Motive, Alife Rivington Club NYC and Solebox Berlin. I believe the hype has gone too far as too were the spots that were once held secret and told in code are now showed on the television where millions witness. The street wear culture was about the secrecy of the spots you shopped at and the info you knew about the layout was critical. Now we are introduced to these spots on the TV and word of mouth. SMH at the makers of this video and to the people who know exactly what I am talking about but excuse it because of the cultures climb.

And for those who wonder why I have grown so grotesque on the topic it is simple I AM A AT&T CUSTOMER. I feel the one to blame..l0l. enjoy

Drop Of The Month (DOTM)-November

Out of all the releases we have broadcasted on ITSMASSIVE this has to be the most controversial when debating to air it or not. The Air Jordan Retro 15, set to drop this coming Thursday the 15Th of November. IRONIC ISN'T IT. When the 15 first released to the public it was a disappointment to most and a pass for most as well. Fans expected more and because of so did not seek out the performance of this Jordan. The 15 was the first shoe Air Jordan produced after Michael Jordan's retirement. The woven pattern siding and construction after the NASA aircraft, X-15 is what made it the exceptional shoe to me. 1999 could not have been a better year but for most it wasn't. The fame BRED colorway will be releasing and I think it is safe to say this is a release for the true lovers. It is an online only release which means only members of Flight Club will be able to get there pairs. If this is indeed your grail to obtain I highly suggest logging in before the 15Th.

YOU THOUGHT WRONG NY

For those who might have thought maybe only NY got the hype for the Supreme Air Trainer TW ...I laugh at that statement!!

{JETpacked}

Going and Going

NO NEWS JUST MORE AND MORE PAIRS BEING SOLD AND BARACADES!! damn damn damn

CONVINCED

Today November 8th, 2007 at around 2 pm I saw and heard something I thought I would never. The release of the Supreme Trainer TW today had a line at 12 am of 40 which hours later turned into 100 around 11 am. The pictures are of the trainers and the jacket below also released today. With a price tag of $400 for the varsity and $150 for the sneakers, my best guess is the majority of the line is for the sneakers. With that said it is amusing to see this because during its release about 18-19 years ago there was no word on these and the Bo Jackson was the shoe shutting shelves down. To my opinion it is the name in front of the sneaker and that is SUPREME! Which any product you sell with this brand it is believed to sell out. Or maybe because the 2007 trainer is re-release through "SB" this is what hypnotizes hype. Although I do believe this to an extent I don't like the hype around the shoe either way, shape or form. Especially when I expect to go tomorrow and get my pair with no hassle and to hear the words SOLD OUT will just crush me. Here after the product are pictures of the line around the times stated and hopefully ill update with my own pics of my pairs soon..

STARKS LACES

The biggest debate with most sneaker heads is the laces in the prize jewels. Some are born with the denial mentality of changing your laces and If so it makes you a "HYPEBEAST". While others believe changing your laces is the customization of making your favorite pair of Nikes, Pumas, Adidas yours. Well this goes out to the denials who believe changing your laces is pointless or should feel shame in doing so. Starks Laces was the first to start designing laces for laces and not just for the sneaker they would be placed in. The New York based brand has come out with a previous release before the above picture of new seasons and I am happy to say I own 5 pairs of that release. Aiming the themes around sneaker culture is what I believe makes this brand what it is today. As the last release contained the famous cement print, speckle, infrared, and Gucci stripe this release includes houndstooth patterns, crackle patterns, striped and multicolor designs are well anticipated. So next time your in your nearest boutique ask about Starks Laces.

I have never attended the function but believe this is the best time too. I might even go with some $$ or take something out to trade...The event location is listed under straight from there myspace and If you have time you should stop by the soho area.

Ill be looking to sell or trade, HufQuake 90's sz 10 for $200 instead of the $250 others will sell for.

"Thats right! We are back at it again! Soled Out NYC IV! November 17th! 210 Elizabeth Street between Prince & Spring. 12-7 pm. This is going to be the biggest Soled Out NYC thus far! More sneakers OG's, Hyperstrikes, SB Dunks and much much more! Don't forget to dress to impress!"

DO YOU REMEMBER THE TIME..

We have all heard of the crazed epic film Transformers. Well for new readers I'm not sure If you indeed saw sample pictures I linked months ago of the Nike Air Trainer 3 design. The shoe was modeled after the movie and was paired with the Air Huarache and Air Max 90 boot. I only dropped a peek of the Trainer 3 because I was told way more changes added before being done. The shoe was sold November 3 and was a shook to all who were waiting. It was a surprise release and not surprisingly my main man BIG L did the damn thing. The samples are not all that different besides the shades of grey used on the upper and minus the Optimus Prime logo on the tongue swiped with your O' So favorite brand name NIKE. Well here is BEFORE AND AFTER!
