Coming Real Soon

Look for some press on Artist Type in the new issue of Laced Mag. My boy Tony Rocked the cover and Leo Vasquez on the hook up again. Now that's team work.

Out Now

Shouts to Tim Bess from the Donoger Group for letting me rock a cover for their First-Street mag and Leo Vasquez for the connect. I love the wrap around effect of the cover. SLICK!

Mic Chec one two

De La spotted rockin' Vintage Native Wear and Mic Chec (my old t-shirt line) t-shirts in a George Clinton documentary on youtube. One of the best GC docs I have seen.

Back with some old school kick pics. The top pic is of the rare (for those of us who managed to get a pair back in the late 80's) Bally Competitions aka Bally Comps. A brooklyn favorite, and one bad ass sneaker, my all-time favorite. Leather upper, suede toe, blue leather stripes on the side resembling an abstract "B" there was also a less bulky all suede version. These sneakers followed the suede Bally Sunny shoe which was made famous by Slick Rick. The next sneaker was the top of the line 3/4 version of the sort after square toed Fila classic tennis shoe (one of my all time favorites). All i can say is that if you had any of these sneakers or the famous Gucci 155's (the shoe the 1st S. Carters were based on) or 109's in the late 80's (the crack boom) you were balling for sure. R.I.P. to Buff (in the middle -the human beat box of the Fat Boys). Take a look at what the top of the Daily News cover says... the shoe game never stops.
