"inquired. 5-600.....
Pass like nash......price is normal, but I'd pay that price for a meth."
"
These guys are two of my favorite customiser, EVER, but they're blowing it... twice. w/e "
(These could be from 2004)
"so simple and yet one of my favorties from sbtg"
personally, i enjoy them as a custom.
but for it to be a collaboration between AKAlazy and SBTG it's a dissapointing.
its funny, how some collaborations work well and some dont.
after seeing these i wonder how much of meth/sbtg is split creatively.
C2 reigns supreme again, this time with the repro of an unreleased nike sb supreme sample.
purchase now or be left out in the cold.
i was a judge for this months contest, there were alot of entries. some better than others, some interesting, some not.
sometimes its difficult to be not biased in these things, once you get familiar with people's work you kind of know who did what shoes becasue you can see the person's style.
i'm not told who did what, but you can pretty much narrow down who did what if that clears my pervious statement up.
what's up with all the horror/portraits this month, i felt like there was a theme and no one told me lol.
with the portraits and use of characters, make sure you can nail it down. some of the work done had some charatcters looking like anorexic or fatty mcfatfat versions of them.
this made me take some points off. and another tip, dont use the characters from already used artwork.
i mean who wants to see a pre-established rendering on a shoe, i loved the Jason's because i have not seen that artwork before and assumed it was original.
while i hated the batman vans, because a) the characters looked semi-wack b) ive seen that artwork before and it did no justice for the most part.
i liked these for the most part, i really didnt enjoy the blue in the logo. i felt a better color could have been used.
these are sick, i love them. i wish they could win, but they can't. it's just a low of the gucci dunks. and unoriginality is a points killer. but for technical work i salute these.
and these.
which were your favorites?

Students at my school, Ward Melville High School participated in a project inspired by Sneaker Freaker. It all started when Mr. Swierupski, known as Mr. S, brought in the Sneaker Freaker book. All the kids checked out the unique sneakers and decided that a sneaker project was in order. Next came demos by Mr. S, like how to tape off areas of the shoe and how to use letter stickers to create colored words. Then everyone brought in their own pair of plain sneakers, whether they were Nikes, Converse, or Adidas, and treated it like a clear canvas. With paint, paint pens, and spray paint available in a variety of bright and metallic colors, each student came up with their own original design, hoping they would hear Mr. S’s catch phrase, “Yeaaaa, nobody’s got that!”

Kevin Garnett, the Boston Celtics and adidas Commemorate the NBA Finals with Limited Edition Footwear Launch
All sales profits will go to NBA Cares community partners in the Boston area.
For Immediate Release – Kevin Garnett, the Boston Celtics and adidas announced today the launch of a rare version of Garnett’s 2008-09 adidas Team Signature Commander shoe. This footwear release was designed to commemorate the Celtics’ historic run at an NBA Championship. adidas will produce only eight pairs per game of this exciting shoe to be sold at retail, starting at 10:00am on June 5, 2008 (as few as 32 pairs or as many as 56 pairs will be available depending on the number of games The Finals goes to). One special pair of shoes autographed by KG will be auctioned off on NBA.com after The Finals. All profits from the sale of these shoes will go to NBA Cares community partners in the Boston area.
The adidas Team Signature KG Commander is scheduled to launch in October 2008, but for this year’s NBA Finals, Kevin Garnett will wear a special version that will be highlighted by the inclusion of the coveted Larry O’Brien NBA Championship Trophy on the medial side, and an embroidered callout to games 1 thru 7 on the lateral side. The number of that night’s game will be in green while the others remain white. The numbers 1 thru 7 also get larger as each game grows in significance.
“All season long it has been about we and not me, so as we head into the NBA Finals I wanted to do something special for the Boston community. That is why we came up with this limited edition adidas Team Signature KG Commander,” stated Garnett. “Since day one, the fans of Boston have made me feel like family, so to do this and be able to give back to them is a great honor.”
Another key attribute that has adorned KG’s shoes throughout the years are his tributes to two of his good friends and mentors: Malik Sealy (former Timberwolves teammate) and Kirby Puckett (former Minnesota Twins Superstar Centerfielder). Malik’s tribute is located under the strap and says “2 Malik”, while Kirby’s call out, “KP 34” is located on the back of the shoe, just below the adidas logo.
“KG redefines what passion means on the basketball court but this energy also spills over to include every off-court initiative that he is involved with as well,” stated Lawrence Norman, VP Global Basketball for adidas. “His switch never turns off - KG is 100% authentic and his drive to make a difference in the community is real and ongoing. This was the perfect concept for a guy like KG and adidas to get involved with as we both enjoy finding fun, creative ways to give back to the local community.”
“KG has shown throughout his career that he is a consummate team player, whose passion for the game, his teammates and his community is unmatched,” stated Rich Gotham, President, Boston Celtics. “KG embodies all of the characteristics that all true Celtic greats have and this is one of many ways that Kevin gives back to the city of Boston and its fans.”
The limited edition adidas Team Signature Commander will only be available at Celtics.com, the TD Banknorth Garden Pro Shop and NBA Store in New York City. Each pair of adidas Team Signature KG Commanders will retail for $1017 (to commemorate the drive for championship #17).

Oh. I wish you well
And I hope someday your life turns out just like you planned.
Oh. Well I hope you can
Find it in you to forget all the things I've said.
Yeah. And I know you will
Cause you're my friend and that's the nicest thing I've said: all day
I hope to god. I hope to god that someday you will understand
I don't think that you understand
The things we say are not always the things we feel
You need to think before you mistakes
Something may end up to link the reasons
Why we do the things we had to to
To the day where we were:
Prove me wrong and do what you do
I don't think that you understand
The things we say are not always the things we feel
You need to think before you mistakes
Something may end up to link the reasons
Why we do the things we had to to
To the day where we were:
Prove me wrong and do what you do
Oh. Well I hope you can
Find it in you to forget all the things I've said.
Yeah. And I know you can
Find it in you to forget all the things I've said.
