Footlocker Celebrates Kicksmas!

Last night, myself and others in sneaker culture, including DJ Clark Kent spinning nice tunes joined Footlocker execs at Cabanas NYC; a very nice and intimate space, to join them in celebrating KICKSMAS! KICKSMAS is a celebration of our love for sneakers! Sharing our love of new releases, starting this Black Friday and for the next 6 weeks, there will be premium sneaker releases such as the Retro Cement 3's, Total Foamposite Max, Jordan 1 Flight, new snapbacks, and accessories to go with your kicks so you are decked out for the holidays! There was a raffle for the Black Pack also! A guy won all 10 pairs!! WOW!

They gave us giftbags at the end of the event filled with a Yankee fitted cap, Court grip solution, an Adidas Ultra Star jacket, notebook from Complex media, and a giftcard! Thanks Footocker! Check out the pics below and MORE HERE!

LADIES!!! Reebok Chi-Kaze!!!

With the great response from Swizz Beatz Kamikaze sneaker release, Reebok has answered our question about a Kamikaze just for us with the Chi-Kaze! Dropping next month at retailer Journey's for $90, there are 2 colorways that will release. The first being Steel/Flat Grey-Sonic Green, and the other which I happen to like very much is the Black/Pink/Blaze-Yellow. Both pairs feature the Kamikaze Hexalite outsole and reminiscent straps from the women's classic Freestyle. Expect to see more fresh colorways coming after the initial release!!

Salute to RUN DMC w/ Mick Boogie mixtape!!

The recent release of the 25th anniversary pack which was limited to 1,986 pairs naturally reminds us all of RUN DMC's historic era in hip hop, topping charts and setting a trend of wearing Adidas to another level! Nice Kicks and DJ Mick Boogie pay homage with this mixtape featuring Skillz, Bun B, Big Pooh, DJ Jazzy Jeff and others remix the classics like Rock Box, Run's House, and one of my favs Beats to the rhyme!

Jordan X Carmelo Anthony M8 release

Another release event this past Thursday was for Jordan and New York Knicks Carmelo Anthony! The event was held outside, unbelievably at Pier 54 in Manhattan, which is also the pier the infamous and grand Titanic was supposed to dock! FETTi Fact! The new M8 consists of a black leather upper featuring flywire, and 6 Rings Blue patent leather! I like the front air pockets, as well as the shox like air chamber on the heel of the sneaker. This is Melo's 1st pair since coming to the NY Knicks, and from the responses last night at the event, it seems this may just be NY's official sneaker this Fall!

Melo kept us entertained by HOT97's DJ Enuff and Angie Martinez, and had a special performance from NAS!!! Alot of attendees were students from Eagle Academy in both The Bronx; which Swizz Beatz is involved with, and Brooklyn, which Melo is involved. The other highlight moment of the night was when sadly, Angie had to announce that Mr. E's class had to leave in the next 10 minutes! HAHA!! Put on BLAST!!!

Carmelo sported his sneaker with a very sick custom made jacket by an artist Frank Morrison, which had graphic of Melo on the court with the M8 on the tail of the jacket. It was cold but we were all warm with sneaker love between us! Check out MORE PICS!!!
