Contemplating...

2010-08-31T06:35:00.000-04:00

With September 14th right around the corner, which means renewing the SneakFiendNC.com domain, i'm contemplating whether or not i want to continue this blog, it's time to move on. For right now until the 14th, i'm taking a break from posting on this site, so by then, i'll make my decision whether or not SneakFiendNC.com will stay alive. But on a sidenote, you can always check out my personal blog, VicinRealLife.com, which i will continue to post on.

Every Tuesday for the next 32 weeks up-and-coming N.C. rhymespitter Jones Andrews will drop a 32 bars over 32 different beats as part of his "Thirty Two Tuesdays" series. Why 32? Numerologists consider it a very lucky number, but honestly, I don't know. What I do know is that Andrews' flows are so dope RefinedHype, along with Flight School Music, had no choice but to become the official sponsor of the series." -

I wonder if they're is anybody out there that truelly has a collection of just 'Carolina Blue' Air Jordans. I remember somebody telling me once before, that they were starting their AJ collection that way, but i think never followed through on it.

2010-07-28T06:58:00.000-04:00

Its seems all these rappers and producers from NC tend to move to the Big Apple hoping for their big breaks. From Ski Beatz, to Petey Pablo, to J. Cole and now Kooley High, is moving to the big city of dreams the right move if you're an upcoming artist or producer from North Carolina?

I Admit, i do have my lazy moments, so i'm not perfect. I guess NC's laid back attitude can sometimes bring the laziness out of all of us! lol

It's funny how, i told one of my friends that if i was to get the chrome balls, i would like to supreme it out. Now it looks as tho somebody has beat me to the punch, and it actually came out nice. Only thing i would change, is just swiping the white laces out for the black laces. Since i'm not willing to pay $1000+ for a DS pair of the Original Supreme lows, i might have to cop a pair of these Chromeballs and get this person to customize me a pair, for real!

Vans C&L (Canvas & Leather) Collection - Dope! And Of course you already know i like the black pairs. If they would have done a chukka version on the Zapato del barco's, i think i would have went extra bonkers for these.

T.I. in Black Charcoal Air Jordan 2010 - I wasn't really a fan at first of the 2010's, but as of late they have really grown on me. And with T.I. rockin' em nicely with the right outfit in this image, i don't think i can hate on the 2010's anymore. I still gotta get use to that open window tho...

"Ford Motor recently contacted super producers Ski Beatz (Jay-Z, Camp-Lo, Curren$y) , Conrizzle (Nickelus F, Jim Jones, Loaded Lux, Fam-Lay), and AOG recording artist Ricky Ruckus to appear in their latest commercial campaign promoting the 2011 Ford Fiesta car. This commercial features production from Conrizzle and it was shot in Liberty Park, NJ in May 2010. The Fiesta saves Winston's date with a surprise picnic in the park. Never underestimate the romantic possibilities of 36.9 cu. ft. of cargo space and an available rear 12-Volt Powerpoint. It doesn't hurt to have friends like @MrConrizzle, @RickyRucus, @SkiBeatz, and Agua Dulce executive chef, Ulrich Sterling."

I've never really been a fan of any team Jordan sneakers, but these right here, definitely catch my attention. So slick and so smooth, i can't hate on this one. Stay tuned as these will release sometime in September at a retail price of $115.
