Clark Kents Top 50 AF1's of All Time
Came across this feature on TheShoeGame.com.
Most of yall have heard DJ Clark Kent's name before. Dude is heavily affiliated with Nike and is known these days mostly for being a sneaker connoisseur. Air Force 1's are his main thing, and Nike lets him make his own designs every now and then.
Some they release to the public, and others they dont (although a few pairs still end up making their way out into the world).
Although a couple pairs of his have been decent design-wise, some havent. Every one has different tastes though so I may be in the minority with that opinion, but one thing that pretty much everyone will agree with is that dude has immense knowledge when it comes to AF1s and their history.
This is his list of the top 50 AF1s ever. I thought it was a VERY interesting piece, even for people who may not be heavy into air forces, but like sneakers in general. There's some real classics, from stashes to linens to cocoa snakes to entourages to campers.
Follow the link for the article, and the list in its entirety.

Im not into air forces like that personally. I only own 3 pairs, 1 of which are some black suede/white swoosh mids from '04, along with my waterproof lows, and my personal favorite and a grail of mine, the black/white sole/double swoosh NYC lows (easily #1 if I were to make my own top 50).
This is an old pic of mine, fitting considering the topic...Definitely one of the few pairs in my collection I couldn't see myself moving...
A nice little mini-reunion
So I took a trip out to visit my "old" campus earlier tonight.
For those of yall that dont know, I graduated undergrad this past May.
One of the organizations on campus, P.A.C.S.A. (Pan-African-Caribbean-Student-Association) is run by one of my homies who's still there, Drae, and a couple other heads. They were hosting a fashion show event tonight.
Went out there to show support, as well as link up with a bunch of my peoples that I graduated with, and havent seen since May.
Figured it would give us a nice opportunity to see each other again.
Some people couldn't make it, and they were missed, but it was nice catchin up with those who did make it.
Show was good. Wont get into that too much, just wanted to write a quick entry and post up a pic from tonight. Seein the people in this pic remind me of what were the best 4 years of my life.
Everything everybody says about college, its all true. The good stuff anyway.

These "Flu Game" 12s...
look MUCH better than I initially thought they would.
Mike wore these in the '97 Finals, and they were given the nickname because of the Game 5 performance in which he dropped 38 while playing with the Flu.
Unfortunately Jordan Brand for whatever reason, decided to switch these up a little bit from the last time they came out.
I remember seeing images of these a few months back and thinking Why JB? Why ruin a classic by replacing leather with nubuck?
I love the OG black and red XII's, and while I do wish JB would have simply done an exact retro of the last release, these pics really surprised me.
Wow.
I just might be coppin.
The pics shown come courtesy of "Jordan23 4xl" of Niketalk.
Word is they drop on Black Friday, November 28th, so be on the lookout.
Btw, I could do without the little white logo on the tongue, but honestly that isn't enough to stop me from scoopin these up.

Madison Square
Caught the Knicks game at the Garden last night.
It was my first visit of the season, their second home game, and luckily for both of us, their first dub.
They took down the Hornets 117-111, and withstood 32 and 12 from CP3 and 24 and 10 from Mek Okafor.
D-Lee did the damn thing with 28, 7, and 3 and Hughes came outta no where to put up 20 points and 6 boards in his first game in the starting lineup this year. We improved to 1-3 on the season.
Snapped a couple shots on my way to the game.
Jordan Hill got NO burn last night, and while I realize he will need some "time to develop" I would have liked to see him get SOME PT last night.
Considering dude left Arizona after his senior year and has 4 years of college ball under his belt, you would think he'd be more ready to play than some other rookies. It's still early I guess, we'll see what happens.
Go NY Go NY Go.
Stay Up and God Bless.
