Check my footwork....
Let's get fully gear-orientated for one post real quick...
Trapstar "Bape Force 1" knock-off's by Footwork available for $120 a pop in Brooklyn at "The Sneaker Spot" in Fulton Mall (nr. Duffield St.):
They look kind of fly to me, the unsavory drug dealer connotation of their name notwithstanding, but even my man at the spot said cats weren't f-cking with them too hard because they were, irony of ironies, ripping off the BAPE's and "not expensive enough" (that's negroes all day for you!!). Call (718) 852-9230 for more info and store hours though.
And from NiceKicks.com:
- "Black toe" Air Jordan 1's reissued in new colorways. (related: more via Hypediss)
- "Grills" for you sneaker's laces.
The Greedy Genius x Barney’s New York sneakers. (related: more at NiceKicks.com yet again)
Mini Choco Nikes.
Vintage Gear Addicts - nice site (although it looks like it hasn't been updated in a minute). And there's a clothing line called Lo-Life's inspired by the early 90's Brooklyngangs crews, the Decepticons and the Lo-Lifes?? (both links spotted via the TTLab blog)
Cool Hunting on cult toy manufacturer Kidrobot's new clothing line, Kidrobot Apparel. Do we really need yet another wannabe-BAPE clothing line doing the cartoon/camo/"all over print" hoody thing? I'm sayin', they already have the knock-off's at Dr. Jay's so you can get your Pharrell/Lupe/Nigo/Weezy steez crackin' on the cheap - doesn't that mean it's already (or soon to be) over?
And finally via The In Crowd:
- The SAPEURS of the Republic of Congo.
- VP Records reggae-inspired Riddim Driven clothing.
- Artful Dodger clothing.
BTW, I know I'm late but if anyone can tell me where I can still cop size 9 or 9.5's in these Evisu jumpoff's here in the city (and not necessarily just in the colorways shown in that link either), hit me up (email at top left).
