Don’t even read this description and go ahead and buy these now. Not to sound like a shill, but this pair of Nike Blazer Highs is just such an obvious hit that it seems only natural. They go with that perfect-for-sneakers mix of black (in this case, actually a super-dark blue-black), red and white that suggest they’ll find plenty of fans in Chicagoland. A mix of lightly tumbled leather and smooth nubuck, both in black, form the base for those red and white accents. It’s a simple can’t-miss design(Via Sneaker News)
The song of the day is also a throwback. My cousin brought it to my attention via facebook and the thought of the song brings back memories from the Love & Basketball days. lol
Nas goes on CNN to discuss his "Open Letter to Young Warriors", of course CNN wants to compare it to violent songs he's written. Instead of focusing on the letter and getting the message out to the kids they want to flip it and focus on the negative.
I love the way he answered the questions.
The letter in its entirety:
Dear Young Warriors fighting the wrong wars! Killing each other is definitely played out. Being hurt from the lost of a love one was never cool.
Dear Young Warriors fighting the wrong war! I know that feeling, that frustration with life and needing to take it out on someone, any one. But....
We chose the dumbest things to go the hardest for. I remember seeing deaths over 8 ball jackets, Fila sneakers, and name plate chains. Deaths over "he say, she say"!!!!! "I'm from this block or I'm from that block", or "my moms n pops is f*cked up now the whole world gotta pay"!!!
I remember feeling like I was the hardest "n*gga" breathing. And I couldn't wait to prove it. But let's think. What are we really proving?? And proving what to who?? Everybody knows Chicago breeds the strongest of the strong but I just feel, me, being ya brother from another state feels your pain as if I grew up with you in ya very own household.
You have the ability and mindpower to change they way we are looked at. Look who's watching us young warriors, look who's throwing us in jail constantly, look at the ignorance in the world. Look at the racist dogs who love to see us down. Loving to bury us in the ground or in jail where we continue this worthless war on one another.
Young warriors.... We are WASTING more and more time. We gotta get on our jobs and take over the world. Cuz this movie left the theaters years ago, Juice, Menace, Boys n the Hood , Blood n Blood Out, Belly!
When we see each other why do we see hatred? Why were we born in a storm, born soldiers, WARRIORS....and instead of building each other up we are at war with each other.. May the soul of this young person find peace with the almighty. I'm with you young warriors. You're me and I'm you. But trust me! you are fighting the wrong war.
Nike Blazer High Foamposite: Pine Green-Black (Winter 2009)
Why force the Foamposite-inspired pack of Nike retro basketball kicks to stick to the original release colours? We’ve already seen a nod to both the Air Foamposite One and its Eggplant purple offspring, but this new Nike Blazer High suggests a new member for the foamy fam. Pictured above we catch a glimpse at the never before seen forest green foam look. These carry the Posite family’s iridescent shine but because the green is so dep, they avoid a radioactive look like the Kryptonate Foamposite Lites. Expect these before ‘10 begins at Foot Locker and other Nike Sportswear specialists.(Via Sneaker News)

"Such an anomaly, speak so well
and talk so collegy, such an astonishing
contrast to all the bullshit you've been following.
On behalf of them, I offer my apologies"
