Jae (@jae8half) and Flower (@sol3Flower) repping for the FSF street team in Brooklyn

We all love free, so some folks got free heart locket tattoos from Bern

Flower got her ankle done

Cali (@cali_du_blanc) from SneakerTube.tv waits to get some ink from Bern

Finished product on Cali. Nice placement and discrete.

Reebok Chi-Kaze!!! Our own Kamikaze!!

With the great response from Swizz Beatz Kamikaze sneaker release, Reebok has answered our question about a Kamikaze just for us with the Chi-Kaze! Dropping next month at retailer Journey's for $90, there are 2 colorways that will release. The first being Steel/Flat Grey-Sonic Green, and the other which I happen to like very much is the Black/Pink/Blaze-Yellow. Both pairs feature the Kamikaze Hexalite outsole and reminiscent straps from the women's classic Freestyle. Expect to see more fresh colorways coming after the initial release!!

Salute to RUN DMC ADIDAS mixtape MICK BOOGIE

The recent release of the 25th anniversary pack which was limited to 1,986 pairs naturally reminds us all of RUN DMC's historic era in hip hop, topping charts and setting a trend of wearing Adidas to another level! Nice Kicks and DJ Mick Boogie pay homage with this mixtape featuring Skillz, Bun B, Big Pooh, DJ Jazzy Jeff and others remix the classics like Rock Box, Run's House, and one of my favs Beats to the rhyme!

John Wall X Reebok ZigEncore release

Sorry for the delay on this, but the posts to follow will explain why..GRINDING!!! On Wednesday, Washington Wizard's John Wall stopped by Footlocker on 34th St. to unveil and talk about his latest collab with Reebok, for the new ZigEncore which is a nice follow up to the ZigTech Slash. Wall invited kids from the Parks & Recreation Dept. and they all had on a pair of his new sneakers and apparel! HOT97 DJ Funkmaster Flex was on the 1 and 2 and asked John various questions about the shoe.

Available in 2 colorways of black/white or blue/white, these sneakers are lighter and more fashionable than the 1st pair from John Wall last year. The toebox is perforated on both pair; the black ones is nubuck, while the white pair is leather. The rest of the upper consists of leather and breathable mesh with patent leather piping on the black pair. Wall even raffled a few pair and gave up the pair on his feet, all with autographs!!

The epic moment at the event was when a kid got up to ask a question and did the Dougie for Wall, who is known for doing the dance himself; then joining the kid in the dance!! He drove the audience crazy with that! Check out MORE PICS!!!
