With what appears as soft smooth leather and an icy white sole, wrapped in leather as well – makes these pretty much fire. Timbo eyelets with timbo laces make these super unique. Off the charts in fact. Follow Eddie on twitter HERE.

“The Carter” Documentary.
QD3 is a talented dude. Let’s hope this breaks him out of the “BEEF” Documentary mold and into something with more substance. From the looks of the Sundance accolades, he might be on the right track. So far, so dope.

R.I.P. Sammy Sosa. Say hello to “Sam Leno”.
Yes, that is Sammy Sosa above…SMH.
In sports related news today, we noticed that our Latino hero has diced his face up and now resembles Jay Leno. Damn bro…why?
Too many late nights off that juice watching Nip x Tuck might do that to ya I guess. We’ll miss you Sammy.

PSA: Side Note.
The CAPITAL Brand’s own Ike Boogie makes a cameo in Illaj’s newest video “Somthin’ Sexy”. Reppin’ hard as always, he’s laced in a SOLD OUT Black/Red COLLECTOR New Era and a yellow Shoe Snob Tee. The video was shot on a rooftop in S.E. Portland overlooking the beautiful buildings of Downtown, featuring tons of beautiful young tenders.
Just another day in the life.

STPL x Airwalk = FAIL. $10 at Payless.
For all of us who aren’t part of the NYC Streetwear Designer clique, nor give a flying fuck, this comes as no surprise. I guess if you can’t give these away at $10 to the unsuspecting general public, then you must only be surviving on hype. And that sucks. For most of you who don’t know who Jeff Staple/Staple Design is, in a nutshell he’s an overrated so called taste-maker with lots of hipster contacts and a cult following of Hypebeasts. Mix that with companies who trust his opinion and you get projects that fail like this one.
I hope everybody can keep it 100 and not be scared to risk your cool points on finally voicing an honest opinion about this…cause THIS shit is funny.
Excerpt from NiceKicks.com:
“Jeff Staple had many heads scratching their heads when his partnership with Payless Shoes owned Airwalk was announced late last year. Though there has been a recent trend of highly respected designers working on lower cost lines, it had yet to be done in the sneaker world.
With limited collaborations, the entry price of obtaining a Staple Design product or “Pigeon” product has been far out of reach of many, but with the recent price reduction of several STPL x Airwalk shoes, most should be able to obtain a pair. Full size runs are currently available for $10 a pair at Payless Shoe Source.”
