Frsh x Kobe V's

Over at NIKEiD, they're having a contest to see you can created the best Kobe V's.  Here's my submission:

FRESH!

[I put "FRESH" on the inside, because that's what I believe; "Freshness" starts on the inside.]

Curren$y x Stalley - Address; Curren$y - Audio Dope II

A double dose of Spitta!

Out of my supply!

"Hydro-co-done on a hands free phone" -Pimp C

I now know how people can be addicted to hydrocodone...it's AMAZING!  Not only does it take the pain away but it puts you in SUPER chill mode.

I officially ran out of my supply this morning but I'm still in excruiating pain!  Got a follow up appointment today at 3:15 so I can get reevaluated and [hopefully] get some more pain meds...I'd rather not be in pain though.

ear-infected, fun-filled Saturday!

Saturday didn't go as planned.  I was amp'd to go the Nice Kicks grand opening but woke up Saturday morning with my ear feeling like it had been hit with a sledgehammer.  So I didn't get there early like I'd planned, in fact I got there an hour and a half after the official opening.  Got there and there was a line, probably 100 deep, in which I was at the back of.  Did I want to see the new store?...yes.  Did I want to wait an hour to see it? NAH!

So, while waiting for the line to dwindle, the crew and I [JoJo, DJ and Vanessa, whom I have affectionately and official dubbed "The League of Nations"] hit Buffalo Exchange and then Terra Burger for organic nourishment! 

1000 Island burger with french and sweet potato fries!

Finally made it back to the store and to be honest I was thoroughly disappointed.  First of all, I was expecting it to be a "block party" type of event not a "let-a-few-folks-in-at-a-time" store opening.  Secondly, I was extememly surprised at how under-developed the store was.  There was a wall with about 20 kicks on, a rack with t-shirts on it and a DJ in the corner...that's it! 

Bun- B was in attendance!

BUN!

Later that night we hit up Oasis for drinks with some friends.  I'd never been to this place but have heard people talk about the view; it definitely lived up to the hype!

aww!

Nice Kicks is coming to Town!

Nice Kicks is opening a store!!

I planned on going by there, but now that I have an ear infection I might just stay in all weekend.

GQ x Kobe

I haven't always been a Kobe fan but as of late [about 3 seasons now] I've found myself rooting more times than not.  He truly is a superior talent and definitely the greatest of the past decade!  As great as Jordan was, he never had to face the level of competition Kobe has faced...let the debate continue!

VDay 2010

Pictorial recap of some of our Valentine's day activities...

Hey Cupcake!

V-day gift

The wifey came through in a MAJOR way for V-day and got me another iPod; something that I've been putting off purchasing for almost a year! 

DIY!

As part of our Valentine's day* activities I took the wifey to CafeMonet, a paint-your-own-pottery studio.

Of course, being the fly guy that I am, I picked an aircraft...

...JoJo picked a vase.

We spent 3hrs painting our resepective pieces but the firing process takes about a week.  Due date is Thursday so expect a post with the finish product then...but don't hold your breathe!

I stand corrected...

Back a few posts ago I was proclaiming that the Green & Black Jordan 12s Ray Allen wore were "the greatest Jordans EVER concocted...I was wrong!

Purple & Black 12s!!! ...D.O.A[ll other sneakers!]

fresh!

Random, but DOPE!

About a month ago I receive this random email from "antique watches."  The brief description claimed that my blog had been featured on their site but I thought that it must be junk mail or some kind of virus;  so I trashed it.  Well, I was going through cleaning out my email and decided to open it to see what it was and the message was pretty interesting...

Levi's x Goodwill: A Dope collabo!

Levi's is teaming up with Goodwill to help people be more conscious of the impact they have on the environment.  The eco-friendly initiative will encourage people to donate their unwanted clothes to Goodwills, instead of landfills, across America.  Goodwill will then use the revenue generated from the sale of the donated clothes to fund programs that help people find jobs.

As an employee of Goodwill, and a consumer of Levi's products, I think this is an awesome collaboration.  Not only does this help us get our mission out, but it also help preserve the environment, one of the values of our organization.  It also shows Levi's continued commitment to the environment and their desire to educate.

Starting 2010, Levi's will begin producing items with a new care tag with tips on how to reduce individual impact on the planet.

Here's a sample of one of the new care labels:

This is nothing less than DOPEness!

When it's cold outside...

There's nothing like good tomato soup and grilled cheese! It's been rainy and cold all DAMN day and this shit is depressing. I don't feel like doing anything...I wish the wifey was here.
