KICKS/HI NEWSLETTER (12/22).

|x| What’s good, fam! Have you ever wondered how many thugs have been thoroughly bummed when they sat down and watched “True Blood” for the first time, and found out that it was a show about vampires? No? Because these are things that I think about. Often. I can only imagine how much farther along in life I’d be if I could actually remember useful info instead of random thoughts like the latter and all the lyrics to ’90s hip-hop and trap songs.

CONVERSE FIRST STRING – JP JOHNNY HI:

Converse First String with yet another solid take on a classic silhouette. This time the Jack Purcell Johnny Hi gets a black denim upper treatment. What a difference it makes when there are premium materials and a well thought through design. I appreciate good attention to detail, and I think the likes of: Converse First String and Vans Vault do an outstanding job in creating shoes that substantially standout as top tier product.
Available in the shop or via phone order right now: 808.941.9191.

NIKE SB – JANUARY ’12 ARRIVALS:

For skating, the suede is going to win out all the time, but the leather Janoski joints are nothing to sneeze at style-wise.

SB Bruin in the Diamond/Tiffany colorway is a smart move to instantly energize this silhouette, which is a good, retro tennis style, but not the most checked for model out of the entire SB product range.

This entire 2011 year of SB Dunks has been the best overall in a while. Dunks feel like they are on the upswing again like they never left…

I really like the P.Rod V, and I like the P.Rod V Mid even more. I just think they need to offer round, hiking type laces as the second option and its a certified wrap!

SB needs to make the Salazar with ONLY a leather upper. It is not the same in a suede.

All pictured Nike SB shoes are available now for in store purchases only. No phone orders accepted. Sorry.

NIKE – JANUARY ’12 ARRIVALS:

Air Flight ’89. A top ten shoe for me. All-time. So official. Like they’re up there with Jordan 3′s for me.

Free Run 2. The breakout running silhouette of 2011 in three new colorways. Boo. Ya.

Lunarglide 3.

LunarFly 3. I just love how the lunar outsole looks on running silhouettes. You know how some of these newer air bag midsoles have THE WORST designs ever? Yeah. That.

All pictured Nike basketball and running shoes are available in the shop or via phone order: 808.941.9191.

STAPLE x KID ROBOT – VINYL PIGEON FIGURE:

Yessir. We would like to welcome the STAPLE fam back on our shelves – beginning with this awesome collab vinyl pigeon + pigeon “splatter” they did with Kid Robot. Limited edition fun.

STONES THROW:

Jay Dee. J-Dilla. Dilla Dog. J-88. The Ummah. The man. The myth. The legend. His beats will forever live on in the history of hip-hop as one the culture’s strongest pillars. His “Dilla Donuts” album is an amazing journey through his mind via his original sampling and beatmaking techniques. This tee from Stones Throw is a discharge print on white or black tee. SO NECESSARY!
