Air Kanyes

A detailed look at the Nikes designed by Kanye West himself has finally surfaced. This shoe had sneaker heads going crazy when he wore a 'blackcat'colorway at the grammys and then again when he posted pictures of him wearing them on his blog from his his 'glow in the dark' tour rehearsal. Personally...I expected more from the Louis Vuitton Don, but the patent leather strap and the obvious Jordan V inspired tongue are this shoe's saving grace; the Jordan III inspired midsole and outsole aren’t a bad look either.

Thursday Night Ride.

While perusing the 66|||fixed blog I came across a weekly ride here in Tampa; I was hesitant at first but I decided I would check it out...with the help of my friend of course. Well, said friends were busy with their girlfriends but I decided that I would ignore the social awkwardness and ride anyway. When I pulled into the meeting spot I immediately saw some deep Vs rotating, it was reassuring. I got passed all of the awkward introductions and all of the harassing about my small road frame; it was a really fun ride. More kids showed up than I expected, we were rolling about 15 deep, and I met some really cool guys and girls, even some friends of friends that it was nice to finally meet.
