[video] CNN on the Sneaker Head Frenzy Around the Nike Foamposite Galaxy Shoe Release

Honestly, I guess I’m too old now but I’m not really feeling this shoe at all so I don’t get the frenzy. This is what I’m rockin’ nowadays at less than half the price, thank you Converse. I guess Nike don’t care, they’re getting my money either way!

Introducing new artist Mingus Murray….

This is highly recommended if you dig Prince, Hendrix, Flying Lotus, Dam-Funk etc. In other words, black music that likes to walk on the left-hand side of things, so to speak. Shout to the homie, C. Wade for putting me up on this.
