What are these? I can’t really tell. They have an all white sole, which can be the sign of a fake, but it doesn’t look like the case here. The top is a weird eggshell/tan patent and the tag and the heel look fine. I don’t know how these would work out in the street.. they look like a weirder version of the Easters that dropped a while back. Maybe it needs a little bit in the outsole - maybe not. Still, I have never seen this shoe before, so it’s worth writing about.

I feel like they’ll go for either $70 or over 150.  I can’t really get behind his other auctions, but I can get behind his pricing scheme. I love a private seller with low starting prices - you’ll always find some heat.

I saw Boris tonight, it was OK.  

It’s an election year.

And why not? So Mr. Obama seems to have more or less a lot of it wrapped up. Hilary didn’t throw out too many shots his way last night, so not to give McCain any ammunition. Obama was praising Hilary left and right, so it might even be some sort of concession. Not rocket science by any means but call David Simon and thank him for the insight into this, he can take as much credit for this as any of my professors or textbooks.

What is with Nike? Why don’t they make Presto’s anymore? Why are all the 97s in stores right now three colors? Why do Air Forces look like they’re made out of plastic? What is going on here man? I feel like Kucinich is the only one who cares about these kinds of issues. And why didn’t Presto’s catch on with hardmen? I think it might be because in 2000/2001 every homeless Brooklyn dude with bellbottoms was rocking a busted Presto with their billowy tanktop and Strokes-cape, an image I try to forget but just can’t man. That didn’t deter me from copping Presto’s, but like… I’d cop some America ones just to be on the safe side.

This shoe is USA though. First of all, it’s a size XL. Second, it’s the shoe that brought everyone together (maybe).; They put the dog out right after 9/11 to support the firefighters and NY in general. Skinheads, firemen, guys from Bevilacqua, Katt Williams, people sellin shit on Canal Street, Brokers, Donald T. Rump, skinny brunettes who smoke cigarettes, guys who look like John Legend, people who talk out of the side of their mouths, women with glasses with beads on them, ex-skinheads and OG freaks, they all love this shoe. Not too many electric blue nikes, clear stars on the thing, and just a bit different than the other, olympic presto that came out in 2000. Those Olys were hot as hell, grey gradients with a crest, some red and blue but it looked like a wave. The latter was one of my go to pairs when I had em. Wore them so much - to the Reggie Lewis Center everyday for about a year, around Israel, all over Ottawa - that they’re now in storage in my parents’ garage until they stop smelling like a dog shaking another dog’s hand. Let’s hope unity isn’t lost on them… “If there is hope, it is in the doggs”

Please, someone buy this. You don’t even need to be into sneakers. Maybe you surfed over here from bidhardcore, and came over here for weightlifting tips**. Maybe you’re my dad and are reading this website. Maybe you found it searching for valentine tips, or cro-mags info, or something. Just buy the old girls, wear em every day and get them filthier than a runaway.

Taiwans baby.. If you know, you know. For the rest of yall, this might be the single best pair of air forces Nike did up since switching to bad leather five years ago - and no coincidence it was released seven (smh) years ago. The Taiwans number at 3000, and I believe there are about a dozen out there in working condition, with Jay Bil rightly owning two pairs. This pair is beyond icy on the top, but with a piss yellow sole. It doesn’t matter because it looks better. Taiwans dropped in 2001 and are all over patent, with the swoosh a light gradient (not a coincidence that the best Year Of Force does the same thing) going from lighter to darker, like most things in life.

While the original run of the Co.Jp’s languished on the shelves for years and by the time they got resurrected, they were worth double retail of whatever was out at the time. If you were smart, you’d have bought the gums at $5, and sold them for $400 only a year later. Unfortunately Taiwan retail lore doesn’t seem to exist. Not rightly, but unsurprisingly so, this is a white air force, which, even after all these years, self-nominated sneakerheads don’t mess with. But most likely, you can’t inflate a ghost. This aint no sneaker you see on the street* or on most of the feet at a gig, or on your weekend trip to Flight Club. This is a man’s shoe, boy. You see one of these in the street, play lotto, because 9 out of 10 times you gonna win.

*Not in this shape, anyways, fuck it, it’s yellowed.
**I’ll sell you that Venom LP, I don’t want that thing.
