Go Half On a Baby

Million Dollar Air Jordans? Yeen got dese! (Sry I had to). Anywho, these Carmines were found on none other than Ebay for $1,00,000. Yes this is true. I'm actually not surprised. People are really ridiculous on Ebay. MJ wore these babies in 1991 (woot woot) in the game against the Dallas Mavericks. He signed them and gave them to a lucky fan. Sure, these are a rare item but six figures though?! Hmm.. it's a recession (Jeezy voice).

Eat My Pucci!

Emilio Pucci inspired kicks. Nice. I personally would choose the court forces over the vandals.

The first thing that popped into my head when I saw these was "Apple Bottom jeans, boots with the fur". Lol, and I don't know why. I also don't know why these were created. This is the 2009 version of those hideoous sneaker pumps girls used to wear circa 2005-2006. Smh.. Suit yourself. This goes out to you Zeek, and you know what I'm talking about. Haha. 

Midnight Marauders

Nike Air Jordan 1 Retro High Strap “A Tribe Called Quest” The shoe has been influenced by ATCQ's 1993 album, Midnight Marauders, obviously. The album artwork and lyrical content inspired designers from Nike to make such a sneaker. The shoe is scheduled to hit stores sometime in February.

*If you've never heard the entire album, wake up.

I'm Set

My ma surprised me with these yesterday around 3 o' clock. That's pretty long considering I was patiently anticipating whether I was getting them or not. The behind-the-scenes fiasco was very tense. Besides, I didn't even think my ma would know what to ask for while trying to purchase these. She's cooler than I thought. She also told me happy b'day, and my b'day is in September! LOL. And she said it's my graduation present, lmao. Oh well, at least they're in my possession.

Player's Ball

I'm so anxious for the holidays this year, for some strange reason. But I'm sad to say I will have to adopt a new family for Thanksgiving because my family isn't cooking (don't ask why). But I will reunite with them for xmas. Hopefully someone will buy me this package during that time. I ususally don't even ask for the packages because I never like the other half, which would be a waste of money. And I usually don't make a wishlist either, but these took the number one spot.

My little cousins also look extremely early for the holidays. LOL. They must want a package too!

Looks can be deceiving.

Chicks in Kicks

Nike rarely makes cool colorways for ladies. This winter they've seemed to be stepping their game up. On the plus side, they're not too expensive for a such a classic shoes. If you didn't know, most of these shoes were out in the 70's and 80's but have reinvented themselves with shiny leather and neon colors. Check out these cool kicks at Journeys.

Put Some Olives in My Martini!

I wasn't a big fan of the previous colorways of the Six Rings, but this one got me. I can't but shout out "GUCCI!" (Gucci Mane voice) in my head everytime I see these. This colorway is very well put together. I would love to see a guy pair these kicks with some raw denim and collared sweater. Or maybe with a nice hooded leather bomber and Gucci chain wallet. Hmm.. You can wear whatever you likeeeee (T.I. voice...ok that was corny). Anyway, these sneakers dropped Nov. 8 at UBIQ. Pick up a pair near you, NOW!

P.S. If you're currently residing in ATL, you would know why I keep making references to all thse artists. It's infectious.

Get a Kick Outta Life!

It's getting that time of year to pull out the boots and protect your feet from the weather. These hybrid Nike blazers are covered in Gore-Tex, making your feet stay dry. This edition is for men only. But Nike does feature a women's  black and pink colorway for all you chicks in kicks. The prices range from $95-$105 for men and are on sale for $69.95 for women, which is not too steep for a sturdy shoe. Now available at urbanoutfitters.com (or in stores) and niketown.com.
