my man dave from DE hit me up for this yesterday, which he needed on the fly. it's not for print, thank god. i was gonna do it last night, but instead found myself shit drunk and unable to do anything functionable (big surprise). i woke up about an hour before i had to be at work and immediately said "fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck". so i jumped onto my laptop and made this embarassing online flyer in about 7 minutes.
now some people might look at this flyer and wonder if that $200 is a typo. and no, it's not a typo. these are a limited-edition release and i've seen them online for $250 in some places. and some people might ask, who the FUCK would pay $200 or $250 for sneakers. and i would answer them, smart people who will never take them out of the box, and then turn around and sell them on ebay in 6 months or a year for double or triple the price. and trust me, that happens. when nike puts out some limited-edition shit like this, kids line up around the block and wait for the skateshop to open just for that reason.
regardless of the crap flyer, if you are a sneaker junkie, you might wanna jump on these quick:
(i hear they are going like hotcakes)
DE also just put out this MJ tribute shirt, which i like because its the cool, black MJ on a skateboard with an afro and not the creepy, white boy-touching MJ in an oxygen tank with a monkey. it comes in blue and white.
don't believe me about the sneakers?
last year, nike released the original lobsters:
look what they are going for on ebay right now:
so if you wanna make yourself a little money and you don't mind a brand new pair of sneakers sitting in a box for a year, take a trip down to the shop:
DIVISION EAST
460 BLOOMFIELD AVE
MONTCLAIR, NJ
973-509-0083
or you could just be a high-roller and walk around in those $200 sneakers like a fucking bad ass. whatever you wanna do.
