Purple Kisses, Purple Kisses
"I'd love it if they'd put them pretty lips on meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"
=)
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep,
John is definetly not gonna be a fan of this post.
(He's not a big fan of R&B and he HATES the amount of times I play The-Dream's album)
But yeah, I spotted my lovely officemates Irene & Quana sportin some fly *purple* shit (they should win an esssssspyy). Not suprisingly they were decked out in nothing but H&M and Forever 21.
If you didnt get it, Purple Kisses is a song on The-Dream's album and Jay-Z said the whole Espy thing on "Party Life"

Attack of the Killer Red Laces?
SMH @ Us.
(Must admit, Dooms get pretty obnoxious in photos. All bright and shit.)
This is the 2nd time this ACCIDENT happened except last time it was green laces. (We didnt take a picture tho.)
I mean c'mon we're not gonna call eachother and ask "What you wearing today?"
Shit happens =/
-Nuff Said and No Homo.
Meez
*Cough* If it was a battle *cough* who won? *Cough*
Wow...
So I had not so much of rough but definetly a busy shift at work today.
I'm a building manager at the 2 student centers on campus. (Trust me its not as intense as it sounds.)
But today I was on my feet the whole shift, self conscious about my crooked tounge, and made fun of for calling Custodial to clean up glass.
So basically nothing was fun or amusing until i dropped into one of my supervisors, Scott Casanova's office and saw this...
Yeeeeep, thats a big ass Millenium Falcon lego model.
Scott is a big Star Wars fan....i mean. You have to see his office but i'll just post a small portion.
Designer Toys?
No
Interesting to me?
Yes.
Blog Worthy?
I did it right?
That is All.
-Meez
Crooked Tounges?!!
WTF!!!!
During the writing of this post I must admit I have the saddest look on my face.
I mean you wake up, you have no idea what you're gonna wear to class today, you check the weather and HOLY SHIT! No precipation in Syracuse today?!!
Who knows how the thought process came to it, but boom. You decide...."Throw the dooms on today!" Why?....Why not??!!
But then...
What is that? How does it happen? Why did it happen?!!
I only wore them once!! I posted when I wore them!
Now I should!, and you always must, but usually I dont put my sneakers right back into the box after wear.
But I swear I did that time.
I even put the paper back in them.
(There's no decreaser in the world that will decrease a tounge.)
=(
I put them in the box waiting for that next special day...
That special day isn't starting so special.

PRod x Tinker Hatfield
You might not recognize the name, but you definietly know Tinker Hatfield's work. He is the man behind many famous Nike and Air Jordan designs that we consider so classic today.
He has now designed a PRod II, which can you believe it ..... looks alot like a Jordan!
so far i've been a fan of the JRods, but these are just a little to Jordan-esque of an SB for me
the toe is nice tho
a limited release is only rumored so keep bugging your local shop for more info

Nike SB 2008 Sneak Preview
DAMN, has Nike just hijacked the blog or something? i gotta diversify
anyways, here's some sneak preview pics of the 2008 Nike SB collection from the Bright Tradeshow in Germany
those black dunk lows in the foreground will be mine
seafoams in the back could be nice aswell
these two are probably my favorite though .... some new all suede PRod2's with the splattered laces and the elusive PRod Hi Top as seen from the back ..... i have a feeling that people will be feinding for that shoe as it has shades of late 80's jordans writen all over it
few more.. dunk mid and high
all set to release this year

Dear Nike, Why You So Mean?
So i stumble across these intriguing pics of this new locker that Nike has put together for they're Be True To Your School campaign.......... (clever eh? ... school, lockers ... get it?)
Sexy right? .......
well there's only one catch ......after drooling over this in anticipation i read on that it's a friends and family release :( ... but it is rumored that one will be raffled at a BTTYS release city. (i can only hope its NYC now)
nike, damn you.. damn you and your special releases that i cant get! ..... woulda been a nice little hidding place for my grails
-john-
ps. Nike, that was just the booze talking.... you know i still love you

Nike SB Blazer - Tiff Edition
So how i took it is that this is basically a "tribute" to the every so great Tiffany SB...... (AKA, a way for nike to push the new Blazer Low?) :)
either way the shoe is nice, and with the premium materials will subtly turn heads
(especially that snakeskin swoosh, sex)
the only thing i have a problem with is that the "tribute" part consists merely of the cracked swoosh and the insole having the tiff blue .... idk just doesnt add up to me ?
but a nice shoe none the less
releasing within the month at ya local SB accounts

Kidrobot x Schifter & Partner
As Kidrobot continues to gain popularity and distribution its line keeps expanding and the design stays strong. Now we see them teaming up with Schifter + Partners for a season of accessory bags ranging from phone holders and ipod cases to bookbags and duffle bags. (no lil wayne) here President of Kidrobot, Paul Budnitz, is with Tim Schifter as they annouce the line
They are always very smart with their collaborations (Burton, Lacoste, Lemar & Dauley amongst others) in choosing to team with brands with great quality and attention to detail. That trend continues here as Schifter & Partner are best known for their licensing of Harajuku Lovers and L.A.M.B. bags
Be on the look out for these this Fall. It'll be a major distribution so be sure to check it out.

Nike Trainer Dunk Low - Caol Uno 10AC
if you missed out on the white Supreme SB trainers, then the new Nike Trainer Dunk may interest you
Its the new Nike Trainer Dunk Lows, inspired by martial arts master Caol Uno
the shoe is primarily white but features great use of patent leather as well as 3m material on the heal. The main accent of plaid also gives the shoe a little something extra.
sexy 3m
They seem to be just obnoxiously white enough for meezy to reach for his wallet...... and I'm not normally a fan of white shoes but i might make an exception for these if i see them for the right price
be on the look for them to hit Nike QuickStrike accounts soon

Meg and her Avant-garde taste
Time: 17:18:02 Eastern...
Fahrenheit: 15 Degrees (Feels like 9)...
Font: Verdana (Helvetica not available)...
A day to go down in history books.... The infamous Meg writes her first blog entry ahhh...
Soo, yeah I thought it was time to get cracking on this blogging stuff and when I saw Jeremy Scott's collections, I knew I had to share.
Jeremy's designs are down right outrageous and comical, I love them! He has about six different collections out each one having their own unique inspiration. He designs women's as well as men's fashion, so guys check it out too! Check out his entire collection at www.jeremyscott.com/
This bag was actually a collaboration with Longchamp, a French bag company. You can purchase it at http://www.colette.fr/
Some people graduate college and go to macy's to buy nice suits to start their big jobs, this is what I'll be wearing when I step into the real world....
And for the men (drum roll please...)
Real men wear CareBears....
Peace n remember.... Comic Sans kills!
Diamond Supply Co. X 10 Deep
Diamond Supply Co. stays coming with nice dark designs that just hit hard. Along with that, they are always on top of the collab game with very memorable joints with Crooks & Castles and Girl (which we will see more collabs with this season) amongst others.
well this year we see Diamond Suppy Co. X 10 Deep
the shirt features a diamond encrusted skull pendant and reads "immortality is a fool's dream"
i'll definitely be on the look out for this tee later this season

its got really nice yellow accents with the logos of each brand showing when the face is lit
