So Sneakercon came to the Bay today and thanks to my homie giving me the heads up because I totally missed that memo. I have seen pics and blog posts about Sneakercon but never have had the opportunity to experience the event for myself.

Happy Air Max Day!
Today marks the birthday of Nike’s iconic shoe… The Air Max! Turning 28 today Nike made “air visible” by showcasing an air bubble in the sole. With the collaborative efforts of Frank Rudy, Mark Parker, and Tinker Hatfield. This team revolutionized the way we see air. To celebrate this great day in sneaker history Nike is releasing a special shoe for its birthday!
Must Cop: Adidas Stan Smith Spring/Summer Suede Pack…
Spring is just around the corner, even though in California right now it feels like it’s semi already here. So if you are constantly thinking about your wardrobe and stay on a mission to get fresh…..you’re welcome. Stan Smith Adidas have really been my only favorite from them. They fit well, are easy to clean and the color ways are pretty versatile. My main struggle with men’s shoes is my foot is small so sometimes things don’t come in my size. Which is tragic. I hope these do because those red and turquoise I NEED in my life. These drop March 1st so keep an eye out.

Must Cop: Melody Ehsani x Reebok Pump
I have never really been into Reebok too much but, when I see a shoe I like it really doesn’t matter who made it. So in today’s episode of shoes I’m listing after I present Melody Ehsani Reebok snakeskin print pump sneaker. They will be available Feb 1st on her website http://www.MelodyEhsani.com and will retail for $200 just in time for valentines day (or nah?). I passed on her first couple of shoes but these are a must cop for me. Check them out!
Currently Jamming To……..
A couple of weeks ago I was visiting my family in Chicago. During one of our chill days in the house my brother in law started playing this song that had a Janet Jackson sample in it and my ears perked up. I quickly asked him to run that back and who it was. He said “oh this is Audio Push…..yeen know!?” I loved the song and immediately downloaded the mixtape. THEN! I’m watching MTV Jams and low and behold they are the Jam of the Week (swag) It’s a sign, a sign that I be knowin! The video for my favorite song off the mixtape called “Shine”. This song makes me want to throw on a flannel, some chucks and chill by Lake Merritt. Peep the Friday inspired video and download their mixtape HERE. If you feel inspired to cop some chucks and flannels here are some cool options below!
FYI Chucks always hurt when you first get them. My advice is to break those joints in or else you will suffer. Beat down chucks are the move anyway! As for the flannels I don’t believe in spending a whole bunch of money on them…Your best bet is hitting up your local thrift store. They are already broken in. Shine On!
