HARDWEAR - The "RING LEADERS" COLLECTION


NATION OF HARDWEAR - THE RING LEADERS

20 years ago a first of its kind, 12 man squad dubbed "The Dream Team" was comprised of 11 future NBA Hall Of Famers and a rookie from Duke. On top of that the clipboards were controlled by 3 future HOF coaches [RIP Chuck Daly] which led to 15 flawless victories and a Gold Medal. It was a statement, a defining moment for the country as a whole.

Besides pure athletic skill and utter dominance, there was a cool air of art & style that the Dream Team ushered in that's still relevant to this day. The court in Barcelona was clutered with big names, the jerseys were fresh and every player had a shoe, oohh the shoes!

Just about every major Olympic inspired or designed for shoe is making a return to the shelves this summer. Perfect time to drop a few accompaning apperal items to go along with them, as well as to celebrate the anniversary of one of the greatest sports teams ever assembled.

We proudly introduce to you The RING LEADERS Collection - PRT 1. CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE NOW

A collection of limited edition prints inspired with a twist. Available now, with a few more items to be added shortly.

WESTT KRAVEN - REVERSE+FLYCOLOGY


WESTT KRAVEN - REVERSE+FLYCOLOGY
 Another gem from thegreenroom has landed in my inbox ... Westt Kraven's - REVERSE+FLYCOLOGY. A quick 7 shot, in & out orginal album from the "Kalifornialien" with a touch of BOTD. Other than Westt himself, you'll only find 2 other vocal collabs. The first a homage to the hometown on Pro-Fedik's "takeoneformycity" and the other a chopped up trip with !LL-SoN on "silvertabz/greyhintz" advised to slap loudly!

Also a few words from the producer / rapper on his most resent drop: "Reverse+Flycology is an album not a mixtape, but to creative proportions it's been a long time coming. Westt Kraven is thegreenroom and thegreenroom is him ... take another trip with ME!"

A Dunk A Day For All Of May - #31DAYSofDUNKS

So here's the deal: A Dunk A Day For All Of May - new, old and in-between.

This idea started while thinking of something to do during May to celebrate my birth month. I knew I was going to be wearing a lot of shoes and at first I was going to go strictly on a un-DS-ing mission "just to do it", then I thought about it ... why deprive myself of some of my faves? I went to the "stockroom" and just started opening boxes (this where it got interesting) a lot of memories started replaying while going through them. After some time passed I narrowed it down to my favorite model, The Dunk. Since its inception in 1985 it has had so many variations, colorways, colabs and changes hopefully this doesn't get boring. So tune in daily for a lil story or history and freshness update ... #31DAYSofDUNKS ... #NOHx2012
