You Gotta Love Nike Blazers!

A true sneaker fanatic has all of the classics in his/her closet and the collection wouldn’t be complete without the Nike Blazer! For those of you who might be in the dark about this one, bear with me as I shed some light on the Blazer- as it’s often confused with the Nike Dunk. Coming onto the scene in the early ’70s as just another basketball sneaker, the Nike Blazer can easily be recognized by it’s larger-than-normal, trademark Nike swoosh and rubbersole bottoms. Apparently, the folks over at Nike needed a pair of kicks that would stand apart from the others and that it did! Over four decades later, you can’t walk the streets of NYC without seeing at least ONE person sportin’ a pair of Blazers. They’re custom made in canvas, leather, suede, animal print and an array of other vibrant colors. The hightop sneaker is all the rage nowadays and can be perfectly paired with denim jeans and a casual tee, shorts and a wifebeater, or some slacks and a buttondown. They’re just crucial to any wardrobe. Now I’m not telling you to go out an buy a pair (because a brotha knows times are hard!), but all I’m sayin’ is your collection will NEVER be complete without a pair of Blazers in the mix! Trust me.

Ye’s Leaving His Mark on the Sneaker Industry!

The BKBOYEEZ are hardcore KanYe fans- of his music and his sense of style. He’s got the Hip-Hop world in the palm of his hands, and now he’s about to do the same in the world of Fashion. Dubbed as the “Louis Vuitton Don”- it’s no wonder Louis V approved of the collabo to create a DOPE pair of sneakers alongside this fashion guru. Despite the lofty price (upward of $800), they’re a great casual pair of kicks and you can’t expect anything less from Ye or Louis. We love these joints, but aren’t too fond of the price- especially in this recession. Our words of advice: If you want to join the Louis V/Ye bandwagon, you have no choice but to get your coins up!

But guess what? One experience was not enough for KanYe. As one of the cockiest living legends in the music industry, you’d think teaming up with the world’s largest supplier of athletic shoes and apparel would be a far reach. But, it’s nothing short of a feeding frenzy for patiently waiting sneaker fanatics worldwide. With this recent collaboration spawns the highly-anticipated release of the Nike Air Yeezy- NIKE and Kanye West’s newest creation. Like all other sports athletes in the industry, Ye had to undergo the complete process of creating his own sneaker design in the Nike lab. It’s refreshing to see how Nike has stepped outside of the box and has brought in an entertainment artist to help create a fresh look- both Nike supporters and KanYe fans can rock and enjoy. But with a $215 price tag, will you cop a pair of your own or will you just admire them on others as they pound the pavement pass you?

SUPRA!

This recession is killing me, but for all of the wrong reasons- particularly because I can’t afford to shop as often as I’d like to. I know it’s not responsible of me to buy a new pair of kicks every month anymore, so I’ve narrowed down my options to one per season. We’ll see how long I can commit to that as I truly believe, I have a sickness! But if you’re anything like me, you often fall victim to purchasing a new pair of sneakers or any type of footwear for that matter- just because they’re DOPE and you’d be a fool to leave them in the store. If you weren’t already up on it, let me put you on to SUPRA. I’m a fanatic for comfortable, stylish kicks that leave me salivating even before trying them on so you’ll probably need a bib for this high top collection. The colors are BOLD for the season and we all know, the perfect shoe/sneaker can make or break your ‘fit. These, my friends, speak for themselves!

Examine the Baracks!

Is it me or does it seems like every time you turn on the television, you see President Obama? Not that I’m mad at all, since it’s about time people of color are portrayed in the media under a positive light. Or maybe it’s my selective memory of past presidents that makes me feel as though he’s being overexposed? Whatever the case may be, I fully understand the urgency in learning about his stimulus plan as a remedy for our terrible economy, and I live for his motivating speeches but I can’t help but feel like he’s being carefully scrutinized. Some are just patiently waiting for him to drop the ball, but they’ll soon recognize that this is not a game! If you want to closely examine something, then check these out.
