The Thrill of the Hunt



Probably the most forgotten part of sneaker collecting is the hunt , today's modern collector does not hunt for his sneakers they don't travel out of their comfort zone to find that pair their looking for .I finally found my favorite Adidas of all time the Adidas Metro Attitudes in the Knicks Colorway, I hunted all over Houston for them and planned a trip to go get them for the steal of 50 dollars even though they where on finishline.com for the same price.


Why because I loved the thrill of the hunt its so much better riding around calling a thousand stores bugging the owner for that one pair of sneakers that fills up an important part of their collection. I mean the shoes quality is great the leather doesn't crease they are comfortable its an all around great retro and that's how it should be . It was me my brother, and our boy Anthony aka Sage running around Houston woth only 50 dollars and no food money and I was thinking "where they still there somebody could have bought them ah crap ". You know what it all paid off just hoping to get those sneakers . That's why I'am a sneakerhead I love kicks with a passion I hunt , barter and scrounge up the ends to find that pair like all collectors let them be car , toy or wine connoisseurs this is what I do this is my life.

This was his debut at Club Rain

I believe we mourn not because we are missing this person , but we miss the things this person could do the words they would use the conversations that would've have been possible. In this case the records that could be spun and the interviews that could have been possible. This goes out to Ben Baller and the infamous Air Mack$ Crew A.Ms mother , Mandy Moore, and all the others who had to be blessed to enjoy A Lifetime with Adam.

Ghostface Killah X Adidas Forum Purple Tapes









Yo for all you diehard Toney Starks and sneaker connoisseurs out there this is the double whammy in honor of Def Jam;s 25th anniversary they are releasing sneakers for all there best artist . These shoes are coming in a Purple suede with a gold G on the side , The Wally Champs mug on the tongue and a gum sole bottom. I dub these the Purple Tapes .




For those that don't know when Cuban Linx first came out Raekwon had his tape come out in the color purple than the usual black tape so the consumer could distinguish his tape from the other shark biten ass rappers. See a drug dealer would have a different color vial from his competitors so the fiends would pick his over the others low grade shit. Also with Cuban Linx II coming in September more than likely the shoe is set to release to coincide with the album
