This is heartwarming. With Sammy Sam Cooke in the background, you have to respect something like this. Plus, the J. Cole cameo always helps.
From Youtube:
Kevin Durant embodies an unstoppable passion for the game. So with a soundtrack provided by the legendary vocalist Sam Cooke, Kevin Durant takes to the Oklahoma City streets to show that Basketball Never Stops for any of us.

Props to @menaceuk for the love. Yes, I wrote the article. And yes, I wrote people to read it. That is how it goes sometimes. LOL!

Macklemore felt that it was his shoes that made him a cooler person. Many kids also find solace within the acquisition of material possessions. Yet Tim Kasser, author of The High Price of Materialism, noted that “insecurity breeds materialism” and that pursuit of worldly goals “fails to increase happiness, works against close interpersonal relationships, works against authenticity and autonomy, and works against the health and happiness of those with whom the materialistic people interact”. Seeing that Carlos’ brother was murdered over a Starter coat, Macklemore understands the dynamics of materialism all too well.

Where the fuck are the auto laces? Wasn’t the point/hype of the Air McFly’s as I like to call them the auto lace technology? Nike should have just waited until that technology was ready to market before running this campaign. I mean 2015 is four years away,if we get cars that can use piss as fuel before auto lacing imma be pissed. The commercial dodge the issue by pointing out that the sneakers “light up,” lights in shoes have been around for what…two decades? Shit I had LA Lights in 1990, technology has grown since 90s.
We have smartphones and instagram. We can face time on an iPhone why cant we have power laces? The technology is there right? The reason the shoe had so much hype was due to a movie and a possible patent Nike has on auto lacing. Nike you done dropped the ball,these shoes are now just as over hyped, more useless than the Air Yeezy’s. Thank you for destroying a boy hood dream of owning shoes that self-tie.
The new Nike MAGs, a line of Back to the Future Part II-inspired shoes. Fox showed off the kicks, which are almost an exact replica of the ones worn by Marty McFly himself in the 1989 movie. The actor explained that the limited edition shoes (there’s only 1,500 of them) will be auctioned off on Nike’s eBay site and that the proceeds will go to his Parkinson’s research foundation. As Fox put it, the coveted shoes will go to three groups of “people with major joneses”: Sneakerheads, Back to the Future fanatics (who Fox joked are, “Out of their minds… in a good way”), and the Parkinson’s community that want to help advance research. Better yet, Fox revealed that Google co-founder Sergey Brin will match up to $50 million.
Nike you redeemed your self by doing a real cool thing raising money for Parkinson’s research. Its brilliant to tie the shoe in with Parkinson. If you’re still interested, the auction is going on now. Click this to go there.
PS…WHERES MY GODDAMN HOVERBOARD?!?!

Nike’s 2011 F/W Royaltna is here and for some reason the gray, and white sole reminds me of Lego pieces. The mid-top sneaker features a dark gray body with dry washed purple laces, and the nike logo on each opposing side. Below is the black color way of the Nike 2011 Fall/Winter Mid Royaltna which is all black everything.

Nike Sportswear is bringing back their Woven FootScape athletic sneakers in a popular female print that has been transitioning over to the male species… Leopard. Yes, these shoes are eye catching, dramatic, and have a lot going on but thats what makes this shoe, what’s the word.. Oh yea the shit. Nike’s FootScape Woven in Leopard is coated in white leather with a white sole, white shoe laces, and a deep brown nose at the top, and also at the back known as the tail. I don’t know if you noticed but the shoelaces at the top are shifted to the side making the shoe even more outrageous, and one of a kind.

Its documented that i am a sneaker head, I don’t collect I wear in any case I treat my kicks like children. I haven’t bought a pair of sneakers since the Jordan 3s White/Cement that dropped months ago. I think its time to scratch the sneaker itch.

Sneaker Con NY was previously held and, I must say by looking at the photos I was pretty impressed with the crowds of people, sneaker action, and prices that people put down on footwear. I do not classify myself as a quote unquote “Snekaer Head” because Im just not. Keep reading →
