Sneakers: New Balance CT470 Grand Slam



description:
"he CT470 from New Balance is an old school court shoe that has been popular only in Japan. The model features a very clean silhouette with details like a suede toe box and a vintage feeling sole. Two colorways are available which are both inspired by the courts from major Gran Slam tennis tournaments."

This shoe does not only look like a retro, it looks like its been used everyday for a year. So you can buy a used retro shoe with VINTAGE feeling sole, which to me, doesn't sound comfortable or appealing. But if you want to look like my grandpa, go buy one.

Sneakers: Valentines sneaks from your dear ol Reebok and Nike




Every year, Nike releases a pair of Valentines day sneaks. You can only wear it for that one particular day. So it should last you forever. Since Nike releases a new one annually, you actually only wear it once. COOL HUH!? This year, Reebok decided to be a biter and stole the idea, so, sneakerheads will have some contemplating to do...which one??? which one? the red one duh.

Ghetto Blasters! The good ol days...





Remember...back in the days..when boxy shape boom boxes were the shit. yeaa Tom and Jerry were entertaining..and the Bulls were beastly..but jamming to some Too Short and Vanilla Ice was good to the ears. I had two of these ghetto blasters as a kid..and one of them even had a 4-inch black and white TV. DAYMNNnnn..all my cool friends were flashing their 'silver' AIWA systems with those subwoofers and shit...but I had fun cranking up my ghetto blasters.. with some solid 90watts..


Check this modern day boombox. Looks like the shit is going to transform into a robot. Boombox on steroids. 560 Watts. god damn..good for some Mistah Fab hyphy yay area shit.
