Damn I'm bored!!!

For my last blog of the year, I'm just going to type shit out. Read it if you want, I don't care, I'm bored and have no life as I'm posting on a blog at 10:34 on New Years Eve.









Polar Bear Appliance Installation sucks balls!!! If you live in Denver and need appliances installed, don't use them. Unless you want you floor scratched and flooded.









Chris, I hope your MMA clothing line fails, bastard! You wouldn't even have the damn thing without me. You wouldn't even have your job without me! I hope you realize your a piece of shit and change your ways. Screwing me over the way you did was the stupidest thing anyone in this business has ever done. I got more experience in my little pinky then you do TOTAL!!! Go ask, everyone that knows you thinks your "experience" is lacking at best. The only thing you got is a HUGE ego. I had an ego, but I could back it up with actions. You can't even read instructions when you bet stuck on something, something I can do in my sleep. I hope what ever idiot you replace me with can take the bullshit you talk.









I need to buy a new hat soon. The JB hat I've been wearing for years is getting old.









My sisters dog chipped one of his teeth yesterday. He slipped on ice coming into the house and went face first into a cement step. Poor doggie.














I like how the ISS/SC mentality has moved over to eBay. The lowball thing ISS/SC members are known for. If you don't want to buy them for that price, go back to watching you cartoons kid!









I hope no one reads this.









I need red ink for my printer.









I need to ship about 5 pairs of shoes on Saturday.









I need a girlfriend. A life. Something.









I don't know why, but Google desktop just popped up on my screen. Maybe it's trying to tell me something.









I saw UFO's once. I wouldn't say they were aliens, they were the "orbs" you see on TV shows. There had to be some real explanation for what they actually were.









I think the people that were sitting next to that guy that tried to blow up that plane in Detroit should have beat him to within an inch of his life. If I were in that situation, I'm not going to lie, I'd like to think I'd would have to be pulled off of him. I figure if a person is trying to kill you and fails, you should have the right to beat him until you can beat him any longer.









It's 10:53.









Must type more.









My fingers are cold.









I need to find a job where I don't have to talk to people. Simple because most people don't listen and think they know everything. Why are you asking me for help if you already know the answer, supposedly?









I want to be more positive this next year. I think starting off right tomorrow morning is the best way to do it.






I was offered a "job" as a blogger for some new NBA fan site. It was for some sneaker part of a site they were working on. Then they stopped contacting me. I guess I don't know enough about sneakers or something.



I wonder if what I say last night on TV is real. There is a group of 7 men that run everything in the world. Really, only 7 men can run EVERYTHING in the world.



11:03, whats in the news?



Saturn has apparently moved into my tenth, whatever that means?!?!?



It's 19 degrees outside right now, maybe it's a good thing I have no life, it's cold as crap outside right now.



Does the Boondocks have more episodes then whats on Cartoon Network? I'm going to have to look into that.



Have you read it this far? If so I applaud you, I wouldn't read all this crap. It has nothing to do with sneakers. That's what this blog it about.



There are idiots already yelling and making noise outside of my house. GO AWAY!!!



Like typing go away in caps is going to do anything. Stupid!



Why do people follow me on twitter? I never use it. I can understand people that know me, but that's not that many. I get random ass people following me.



TNA wrestling made a huge mistake in bringing Hogan into things. Hogan will destroy any headway they've made over the past couple of years.



I got 112 view on my Flickr 2 days ago. That's huge for my!



11:20, I'm pathetic.





My sister makes the best mashed potato's!!!



I need some water.



I got some water.



I need a new camera. The 20d is getting real old. The autofocus is starting to get weird.



This is a long ass post.



I'm reading other sites as I type this. ISS is dead right now, Yahoo news is the same old junk, none of the blogs I watch have been updated in a while, I can't stand looking at NT( I seriously get a headache).



I need more hearts on MyBrandz.



I think I'm going to go to bed early tonight.



I think I'll start a Facebook in the new year. I don't know why, I don't need to. Just something else to do online. It will probably end up like my Myspace page, just sitting there empty with nothing going on.



Maybe I won't start a Facebook.



11:39, I think I'll go all the way to midnight then stop.



If your into building models, the people at modelarmour.com are the nicest on the web. I post my stuff there now. They really are trying to make a good community there.



Merkeva sure are nice looking tanks. I just wish there was a good model of one.



I SERIOUSLY need to clean my car.



11:52, almost there.



I just accidently click onto another site and thought I lost all this. My masterpiece ruined!!! Luckily this blog site autosaves, yeah baby yeah!!!

Is normal person really affraid of 2012? The Mayan's that made their calander probably just got bored and stopped at that point. They figured they have a couple thousand years to finish the damn thing.

12:00, January 1, 2010.

Happy New Year. STOP YELLING OUTSIDE MY HOUSE!!!!!!

Good things from the past year

I'd like to end the year by injecting some positive vibe into this blog. A lot of what I put in here is negative, I don't like being that way. So here we go....

Jordan Brand released the CP3 2. I bought a pair over the summer and have to say they are a good, solid shoe. Especially considering where they came from. Good colorways, great construction and quality. Just a damn good overall shoe, from the people that bring you crap five to six times a month.

Hypermax NFW. NFW stands for No Fly Wire. I think Nike should have released a few NFW's models for every shoe that had it. I think the Hypermax NFW is better then the normal Hypermax. All Flywire is made up from is plastic and fishing wire.

Nike Air Flight Club. This shoes is part of the "ReFresh" line, only one that looks good. It's inspired by several of Nike's classic models. Flight '89, Hyperflight and Flight '98(aka Gloves). Most of the colorways are very nice and simple. Some of them were down right nasty. But the classic white/black was the best. Viz-Zoom in the heel was a nice touch.

Air Jordan XII Retro "Rising Sun". Very simple colorway. It's good to see a simple colorway that isn't an original. Nothing flashy or over the top. Just plain and simple. Typical JB quality, but a retro XII is still better then most shoes out there.

Last but not least, Air Jordan Spiz'ike. There are like 57 different colorways of this shoe, they ALL suck. When this shoe was unveiled at the Vegas Sneaker Comp in 2006, there were a bunch of us that thought it was an abomination. This and the Dub Zero are the two shoes that started the fusion shit. I call it shit because thats what it is! But there is something about this colorway. If you put the right colors on something, it CAN look nice. These look really good with the different greys mixed in with the black and white accents. The only down side is the non-clear, clear outsole JB likes to use. I don't remember the actual release date, I got them in January, so....

And1 brought back the Tai Chi, this is by far my favorite shoe ever. I haven't been able to pick up a pair yet. I have 11 pairs of the OG's.

adidas have a couple of shoes with a form of Feet You Wear. I love Feet You Wear, if they continue making them I will cop as many as I can.

Next year seems to have a few good items to look forward to. The Air Jordan 2010, I know people are hating, but I think they will be good. Also JB is releasing the last of the untouchables(there is a story there) with the powder blue IX's. Under Armour MIGHT have a basketball shoe out, last I read it was still 2011 before they release anything. Feet You Wear adidas!!! I really hope And1 can make a comeback. I hate not being able to go into a store and buy them.

Happy New Year to you and yours!!!!

Space Jams

These shoes suck!

Let me tell you, all the hype around this shoe is one of the problems with the sneaker culture today.

Nike/JB know they have something that will sellout instantly. The only reason they released this shoe was to make money. I can't really blame them for that. If I had something that could make me a bunch of money, bet your ass I would sell it.

But these shoes suck! They aren't good for basketball. Anyone reading this knows there are going to be quality issues. They don't use real patent leather. You KNOW the soles will yellow just by looking at them. The price went up about $40 from the last release, why? They are already on eBay for as high as $489(your fucking crazy). Nobody will actually wear them, they will either resell them later or be afraid to wear them because of the clear sole. Break out your Seaglow, or whatever the hell that shit is called!

The smart thing to do for anyone that wants them but couldn't get them this morning, wait a couple of weeks and these prices on eBay will come down. 90% of the people buying these are going to resell them. Once the see their shit isn't selling, the prices will come down. It happens all the time now.

Seeing how people are reacting to this shoes and release is making me sick.

I can dream about this release being the one that breaks the back of the current culture. I know it is just a dream, people are probably going to go batshit crazy for the Powder Blue IX's next year. All of the real collectors just have to be patient.

I wonder how the people that kept their origianl Retro XI Space Jams feel today.

Wait, there's a new term for us, OGR(original retro). That's the culture for ya. Thanks Nike!

How to be a modern sneaker collector 101

Welcome to how to be a modern sneaker collector, I am your host MZ3 (applause).

Lets get right to it.

First you have to decide if you want to be a collector. This is very easy. Just look around at the people near you and see if they are "collectors". You will be able to tell because they are more then likely making fun of the other around them who do not have the latest sneakers on.

Second, you will need money. This can be obtained in a variety of ways. You can ask your parents. Ask your girlfrined/wife. Rob a bank. Sell a kidney to science. Ask your kids. Get a job. The last one is only for extreme cases.

Third, come to think of it, eBay. Long gone are the days of actually working to have a collection. Getting up on Wednesday morning and hitting the stores to see if anything new came in. Working contacts all over at multiple stores. Driving from spot to spot, spending time actually looking for the newest kicks. All of that has been eliminated. Just hop on eBay and spend, spend, spend.

Forth, wait about a week. You need this time to have all those great shoes shipped to you from varies places.

Fifth, jump online and post pictures of you sneakers. Be sure to postwhore all over which ever site or sites you join. Make sure everyone there understands you are a "collector". Tell them you have only been doing this for a week and show them you over the top collection.

Sixth, show off your new shoes everywhere you go. Make sure no one goes without noticing your impressive footwear. Everyone must see them no matter what. If you have to do cartwheels to get people to notice them, cartwheel away!!!

Last, but not least, stay away from the real collectors. They will see through you in a heartbeat and probably step on your Yezzy's. You will be able to spot real collectors by the way they don't care if people are looking at their shoes or not. Their shoes will be dirty, because they actually wear them about. Avoid them at all costs. Don't make eye contact, don't confront them. They are more then likely older then you and probably know some form of martial arts.


If you follow these easy steps, you to can be a modern sneaker collector in no time flat.


Void where ever this can be read.

Two in one day???

There is a post on Sole Collector talking about sneakers going out of style/fashion. Most of the 12 year olds there think it won't happen.

I've made a few references to this in a couple of my posts here.

People don't remember, or don't know because they are 12, that it's happened before.

Early 90's, all kinds of people were wearing sneakers. Then a company called Timberland came along and everyone and their mother started wearing hiking boots. I remember reading sneaker companies lost money because of this. It's the reason Nike, adidas and Reebok started making boots.

History repeats itself.

A LOT of people that actually know what they are talking about are saying a downward trend for sneakers is coming. I've been saying it for a while now. There are little signs here and there.

I honestly can't wait!

Why are fakes so bad?

A lot of people in the sneaker culture think it's alright to buy and wear fakes/counterfeits. Whatever the reason, they always seem to come up with one.

"Why would I pay $xxx for a pair of shoes when I can get them for $50."

"I buy fakes to wear. I don't want to mess up my deadstocks."

"Fakes are just as good as authentics."

"These are a custom colorway that normal people can't get. I got them for $35 on a website."

Anyone that has had any contact with people like this know most of the lines. They will say anything to make it seem like what they are doing is a good idea.

Say what you will, a TRUE sneakerhead would not be caught dead wearing a pair of fakes. It doesn't matter if they are cheaper(you get what you pay for by the way) or you think they are special in some way(which they aren't, just because you were stupid enough to believe it doesn't make them special).

These people are trying to fit into something they obviously don't understand. They buy their knockoffs to impress other people that obviously don't understand. If you want to be cool around a bunch of ignorant people, by my guest.

In our eyes, you just look like an idiot. Those black/green/yellow Retro IV's your sporting, talking about how limited or custom they are, make you look like a clown. Not to mention it shows how cheap you really are. You think you are the shit when you walk into school or work and everyone jumps on your jock. It makes you feel good to get that attention.

Real heads don't wear shoes to get attention. Real heads don't care if other people like their shoes or not. Real heads wear shoes because they love shoes.

All you are is a poser. A cheapass, want to be clown that makes us laugh and shake our heads at the same time.

Then, when we point out they are fake, you try to turn it around on us. Saying our shoes are fake or questioning why we pay so much for our shoes. All you do is dig yourself deeper.

You have no respect for the culture or the people in it. You are only here to make yourself feel better for whatever reason. When sneakers go out of style again, which they will, you'll be stuck with a bunch of shit that you won't be able to get $25 for.

But that probably won't matter to you, since you were only in it for the fad and have moved on to whatever is popular. Whatever it takes to get people to notice you. Bye poser!

Limited Editions

When did it become status quo for sneaker companies to have more limited edition shoes then general releases?

Limited editions used to be something special, unique. Now it's like every shoe a company produces has to have at least 10 limited editions to go with it. I say at least because anyone reading this knows most signature shoes have 15-30 "limited editions" with 3-5 general releases.

I can't remember when this trend actually started, it sort of snuck up on us.

Don't get me wrong, I like some of the LE's that have come out. I just think these colorways would have been better suited for a general release. Maybe then those GR Lebrons wouldn't end up at the Nike outlets for half price.

I also think there are just too many LE's being released. I thought the Kobe IV was done a few months ago, at this point there are like 6 more colorways still to be released. Ten minutes after the last IV comes out, the V goes on sell. Which I think I've already seen 20 different coloways of, probably all to be released before the All-star game in February and only like 2 as GR's.

Nike has so flooded the market with LE's, other companies have started to get into it. Reebok limits their various Pump models to the point that no one can actually get them. New Balance is making LE's on shoes that I could swear where only $75 to start. Change a color, limit the production to 3 pairs and charge out the ass for it. It's still the same shoe. I think And1 had a LE with the recent Tai Chi re-release. Really, And1 hads limited edition shoes?!?!?! Converse, owned by Nike, is making LE Chucks. When did Cons EVER make LE Chucks??? Never!

It's out of hand and there is nothing that can be done about. All the little hypebeasts and wannabe collectors eat this shit up. Once sneakers go out of style again, I hope things will get back to the way they used to be. That will be a great day, all the real collectors will swoop in and pick up all the good stuff for a bargain. Then all the shit will be worn out or given to the homeless and be erased from existence.

I can hope anyway.
