Past two Tuesdays...Brought out two pairs that I briefly forgot I had. I've said it numerous times before that I'm not the biggest fan of the hi's, but these two are among my faves that I own.

IV.

2012-02-02T21:22:00.003-05:00

I'm thinking bout passing on the, "bred" iv's that are apparently dropping this black friday; my '99's are still in really great shape, and I don't even wear them, so I don't really see myself dropping $160 just to say I have 'em, when I already have 'me. With that said, I'm probably only picking up XII's this year, before heading back into retirement.

Sweet baby Jesus. This is it right here. OG CW, first pair of J's I ever fell in love with, an item that definitely had an influence on my childhood and life in general. I remember back then, you were the man if you had a fresh pair of J's; now, you're just another face in the crowd. I wouldn't have it any other way; a majority of the consumers have no respect or real love for the game. With that said, the countdown begins. 11 more months until I go back into retirement

Concord.

2012-01-21T20:21:00.003-05:00

The hype surrounding these were insane. I'm definitely happy I got my pair, but really, it wasn't at all that serious. People really od over some foolishness for no reason.

Most coveted pair. Where it all started for me. OG X's on sale in 6th grade. Back before j's were as, "popular" as they are now and pairs sat on shelves for months.

These of course aren't the OG's; unfortunately, they got thrown out along, with some OG Kidd's (thanks dad).

Sneaker Edition. I need not go into the amount of photos of mine that got jacked this year, but I will as always, I wanna thank the viewers for the continued positive feedback and love. You all know who you are. 2012 will definitely be a BIG one; that's all I'm gonna disclose for now. Really though, a LOT of my photos got jacked this year, man. Shit's crazy..

2012-01-01T01:05:00.008-05:00

Bam. Here it is; a few faves from this year. As all the ones before, 2011 seemed to have gone by rather quickly. With that said, I'm very much looking forward to what the 2012 will bring. Happy New Year all, and thanks for frequenting my blog and showing love.

Recently got some red laces to go with my boots. The Mrs. was kind enough to surprise me with two additional pairs for Christmas. Speaking of which, since it's after midnight, Merry Christmas. I hope all you viewers out there have a safe and good one.

Concord.

2011-12-25T00:34:00.002-05:00

I need not bombard you with yet another set of Concord images, correct? I mean, you've been seeing them for a year now, and in the last 24 hours, all over the news and web. So I'll refrain from posting any actual sneaker images for another week or so.

With that said, let me tell you how much of a bitch it was to get my hands on this pair. I got the III's (two pairs) no problem, but this was on a whole other level of bs. 10 hours was spent, most of it in the cold and rain, and I only ended up with a single pair, even though I wanted two. At the last minute, the stores decided they were only selling one pair per customer. Total bullshit. At the end of the day, I was able to replace my '00 pair, and I guess getting one is better than none at all, considering there was less than 50 available between two stores.

YES!

I wouldn't quite say that I am in love with this pair, but jb did do a pretty good job of retro'ing it. Let's hope the same goes for the chi x's.

2011-11-29T18:58:00.002-05:00

I don't think it comes to anyone as a shock that the lockout is finally over and there's gonna be an NBA season after all; it was just a matter of when. Personally, the lockout was good in the sense that it prolongs rest for my dude kb24. That and the fact the season is only gonna be 66 games is also a plus. Team LA all day, at least until the dude retires.

Been doing some routine checkups and cleaning of some of my older pairs; I think these two are by far amongst my favorite releases. Funny thing is, I very seldom where predominately white sneakers.

Recent Purchase.

2011-11-21T20:26:00.002-05:00

Picked up a pair of Red Wings last week (along with a couch and some other random items for our house). I plan on taking some detailed photos some time this week; stay tuned.

My Masterpiece. I channeled my inner da Vinci and van Gogh and this is the end result. We have a number of ornate radiators in our home, all of which have multiple, caked on layers of paint. After weeks and hours of (paint) removal, I got one done. If you saw this shit before, you'd understand how much of an accomplishment this is.

Fuck you need some eggplant boots with air bubbles in 'em? Y'all balling outdoors during a blizzard? Shits gonna make you immune to bussin' your ass on the ice? Pure coonery.

Late post..I just got around to taking a photo (aside from on my phone) of my most recent PS3 pickup. If you've been on my tumblr or instagram page, you probably saw that I won a free tee out of a raffle Game Stop was having for their midnight release. I didn't feel like including it in this photo, but I'm sure you all will eventually see it.

Few more photos from our day trip to Edinburgh. The Elephant house, as it's stated, is the birthplace of Harry Potter. It's actually one of a few cafe´s that J.K. Rowling wrote the beginning chapters of her famous Harry Potter books.

2011-10-07T21:15:00.005-04:00

This was our shortest, "vaca" yet; D actually picked this trip up for work, and I was able to tag along. We spent one full day in Edinburgh, Scotland, and did a ton of walking/hiking. It may sound redundant because I say it every time we get back from a different country, but this place was amazing. The photos speak for themselves, but they don't quite do the city justice.

This is some old-ass, beautiful, medieval place, with castles, mountains, cobblestone streets, and former underground cities. We had a GREAT day, and this definitely won't be our last time visiting.

Welcome to our neighbor(HOOD).

2011-10-04T22:39:00.003-04:00

We had a drive-by occur today right 'round the block from our house. Shit just got real. Apparently, dude got shot in the head, got driven by his girl to the hospital, and at the moment, is STILL alive!

Round Two.

2011-09-25T19:52:00.002-04:00

So I broke my beats ear buds that D got me for Christmas; I refuse to take full blame though because I've had them less than a year and they just randomly shorted out on me for no apparent reason the other day.

This doesn't at all take away from the quality of the sound of the headphones, but if you don't have these, and plan on getting them (or the goon ones for that matter), be forewarned; they're frail as hell.

Granted, I use them daily, but that's no excuse. As expensive as they are, you'd think they'd last a little longer than under a year.

A few of my must-haves for daily survival. I've come to realize there's quite a few things I equip myself with on a regular basis; not on some Batman, utility-belt ish, but you get the idea. Headphones, ipod, camera, etc..With that said, I'm probably gonna end up posting random EDC photos; look out for more.

Gonna keep this post short: the car game down here in VA is SERIOUS! You fools think you're balling with your beemers and escalades on dubs? Fuck outta here: this IS how its done. Old School. Classic. This is grown-man business right here; I'm already stacking for my own 50's pickup.

Yard Crawl.

2011-08-18T20:38:00.009-04:00

I just noticed with my, "Back" posted, I mentioned that D and I had returned from VA from the Yard Crawl, but never mentioned what it was..My Bad.

Anyway, quick info: The Route 11 yard Crawl is an annual event that takes place in VA every second weekend of August. It's a time where folk unearth all kinds of random ish from their homes, barns, stores, etc..and put them on the side of the road (literally) to sell.

If you've been keeping up with my blog for a little bit, you'll know that D and I have a huge love of vintage things, so the Yard Crawl of course, was THE place to be for us this past weekend. It was our first one ever, and we had a great time driving down, hanging out, and shopping. Here are a few photos that I took. we posted some more on our other blogs as well: onefifteenbroad.tumblr.com & highontheregular.tumblr.com

So, as you can see, people sell ALL kinds of things at the Crawl. Everything from Elvis lamps, to peacocks. We even saw goats, rabbits, and chickens for sale! Craziness, but it was an amazing experience. The houses down here are unreal; this place is extremely old, even older than here we live (which is pretty damn old too). The victorians and colonials that are still standing are just unbelievable; whether you're into that sorta stuff or not, you could probably still respect the beauty of these things.

Speaking of beauty! Seen that yellow Schwinn?? We copped that ish! Excuse my excitement man, but this fucking bike is awesome as all hell. Dude wanted $120 for it, we offered $85, and settled at $95. Shit was a steal at the asking price; it's in great, working condition; we've been whipping it through the neighborhood since we got back. I also picked up that black Schwinn (next to the pogo stick) for $50. We ending up spending a few hundred dollars total but we didn't pay asking price for a single thing, and everything we picked up is worth more than what we paid, so we definitely made out extremely well.

With all of that said, we look forward to hitting VA up next August for another Crawl.

Made it back from the Yard Crawl in one piece. We actually returned last night because we were able to navigate thru the entire 40-plus mile stretch, in a day. We started yesterday at 7am and got done some time after 3. It was without a doubt, a totally new and fun experience, and we had a great time. More photos soon.

2011-08-09T07:29:00.002-04:00

This is probably the biggest yard sale sign I've ever seen. Speaking of which, D and I are gonna be taking a small vacation/road trip this weekend, down south to Virginia. They've got this annual GOON yard sale, the "Yard Crawl", where all the locals from several counties (store owners as well) sell random treasures.

The thing about the Yard Crawl that makes it so serious, is the fact that it's FORTY THREE MILES LONG, on BOTH sides of this local route (route 11). Shit's gonna be major; we may just end up making this trip an annual thing.

I'm almost certain I uploaded this in December with a series of other photos, but being that it's one of my favorite images, I decided to give it it's own post.
