Yezzys 2

Last night in the Victoria Secret's Fashion Show Kanye West and Jay-Z not only gave an amazing performance but presented themselves phenomenally. Among all those beautiful women were beautiful shoes. Kanye once again busted out what may be one, if not the only, pair of very awaited shoes.There is still no release date or price but predictions say sometime in 2012. As for the price, well I can assure you that for whaever the retail price is, once they sell out, the street value will sky-rocket. Thus making this a must have shoe!

The Holiest of Holy Grails

In 1985 the rookie Michael Jordan got his own shoe called the Air Jordan or commonly known as Jordans. Not only is he one of the greatest basketball players to ever play the game, his shoes are also one of the most collected in the "shoe game." The most respected Jordan shoes are always the originals (OG) and OG Jordan ones are highly respected in the sneaker world. Many people who still have a shoe don't even wear it anymore, they just display it.

Michael Jordan played his first All Star game in 1985 and he wore his Air Jordan ones. At that same game one very fortunate fan was given the shoes by Jordan; he even autographed it! Now you can have the chance to own it as well! The shoes are being auctioned online; the staring bid is $5,000 and is sure to end much, much higher.  This is a must have for any sneakerhead in the world!!

Skateboarding Boat Shoe

One of Nike SB's newest line of shoes is from a skater, Stefan Janoski, who on the tongue of the shoe wrote "For Daily Use." When the shoe was first released, I thought it was going to be like the Nike SB blazer line in the way it has some popular designs, like the Milk Crates or The Supremes, but not with an extensive variety of good designs. For once I'm actually happy that I am wrong.

Janoski has proven not only to have good designs due to collaborations but also good designs overall. The shoe's structure is so well designed that a simple colorway change could go a long way. Not only is the presentation of the shoe smooth, so is the feel of it. You can wear it to almost any occasion, like a boat shoe, but you can skate with it! Ask anyone who has ever skated with the shoe, they will tell you it's magic!

Now for all of you guys thinking that such a great shoe will hurt your pocket you are wrong. This in fact is one of Nike SB's more economical shoe. You should keep an eye out for the future Janoski releases, I know I will.


"I like when there is not a lot of excess padding all around the back and the tongues. I just like the most minimal you can get without hurting your feet" - Stefan Janoski

Janoski x Michael Lau "10th Anniversary Pack"

11:11

So we waited 100 years to make the ultimate wish. Its not like you can wait for it, or set an alarm for it; you gotta catch it! And we all know that the one that counts is the one at night. Well its ok, you can think of other things that will help you remember. Like how if you add the year you were born and the age you turn in 2011 you get 111. For example mine would be '94 plus 17, which in fact is equal to 111. Damn what an important moment. What if you catch the moment and with all that excitement your mind goes blank and you forget what to wish for?! What if you wish for something dumb and waste the wish of a lifetime?! What if you waste the minute writing a blog?!

That Shit Kray

The hit song "Ni**as in Paris" by Kanye West and Jay-Z has a very catchy hook that goes, "That S**t Kray." People confuse it for "Cray" and believe it's just a shortened term of the word "Crazy." Many people actually don't know the true meaning of the word and use it as if it were the word "crazy." What people don't know is that it actually stands for the notorious Kray Twins of London who became feared in their social environment and celebrities in the 1950s and 1960s. The Kray Twins were involved in armed robberies, arson, protection rackets, violent assaults inclusing the torture and the murders of Jack "The Hat" McVitie and George Cornell. The London Police attempted to capture the Twins in many occasions but failed for many times before they were actually captured. Thus the lyrics of the song go "Ball so hard motherf***ers wanna fine me, but first Ni**as gotta find me ." Kanye and Jay's ingenious word play makes "Kray" have the same meaning of "Crazy."

 Ain't that Shit Kray!?
