Reminisce Session: 1991 Air Force 180 High.

David Robinson's shoe in 1991. I've always wanted these. I've almost won them on Ebay a few times to no avail. I remember these being 150 back then....and at that point the only shoes I remember being more expensive were 1989's Air Pressure.

Anyway, I wonder how these would do as a retro....The Air Force 180 mid Barkley didn't do all that well at 125 when it retroed in 2005, 2007, and they just came out with more colorways for them last month.



I Absolutely Love These BTW. I own 3 colors myself...the 76ers road colorway (pictured), the olympic colorway, and the Premiums that came out in 2006 as a part of the huarache pack.

I think the mids would sell better if more people knew they were Barkleys. Oh well. I guess with the highs, I'll have to keep trying to win them on that bay.

"Rumour Is....A Lotta People Hatin' Me But I'mma Tell Y'all What I Been Doin' Lately....."

Things have been very busy lately. I haven't really been able to be online as much because of work, looking for a second job, and other things. I actually have a 2nd interview at Yours Truly...a restaurant not too far from my house....it's at Shaker Square. I'm interviewing to be a server....something I haven't done since May, 2001. I remember when I did it at Ruby Tuesday, I had so much money....and it enabled me to get pretty much any shoe I wanted....and at that time, that's when they were bringing out all the Retro 11's....I still remember my manager being pissed at me because I was late to work getting the Cool Grey 11's. I don't have that job anymore, but I still got those shoes doe! LOL. I don't have high expectations of this though because they want me to memorize the entire menu....that shit just isn't happening.

Last Night, Zarinah and I watched the Lakers narrowly escape defeat against the Houston Rockets....a team much like the Portland Trailblazers that worries me as a Laker fan because they just seem to have the Lakers' number everytime they play.



On A Side Note....Where The Fuck Are These For Retail?????


Kobe And Ron Artest Jawing At Each Other.


Before We Came Back To My House, We Got Interviewed By Newschannel 5 for our opinions on Casinos coming to Cleveland, and Dan Gilbert who owns Quicken Loans and The Cavs being the owner. I got to be on TV, but Zarinah didn't....probably because she said prostitution, and they probably couldn't remember how to spell her name. LOL.



Before that we ate at Winking Lizard on Prospect....and took pics because my Dad bought me a new digital camera out the blue and bought it up to my job. Some Random pics......

Zarinah.

Me.



Also, lately, I've kinda withdrawn myself from Shoes, but I do have 3 new pickups....all gotten on the humble.

Chalk LeBron 6...Completely Sold Out In Cleveland
(These were a Lay-A-Way that never got picked up. :))

All Star LeBron 6...Allegedly Only 24 of these were for sale in Ohio.
(I never tend to believe that kinda shit though but I haven't seen these anywhere around here)

Air Max 2003...aged...I wouldn't say beat, but I won these for 99 Cents on Ebay. This was the only colorway of these that I wanted that I didn't have. These remind me of when I worked at Footaction in 2003 and 2004.


Also, I bought a flash drive and took pretty much all the music on my laptop, and put it on this computer and on my Zune so now I'm up to 12,901 songs and it's almost full....I think I have about 9 GB left. Between that, buying stuff from Zune marketplace, and downloading free mixtapes from Datpiff.com, my Zune is fat as fuck! My dad just bought a 120 GB Zune....I may do the same.

I also got to see my Trice Piece. :)


After All This Time....There's Still Something About That Yellow.

Dear Blog....

I'm sorry I've neglected you these last few weeks....I'll be updating you in the next 2-3 days.....I promise.


ShortyC94 will return......

Why?

Why is that people are requesting me constantly on Facebook that I barely know....or didn't even know at all in High School???

Denise's Birthday, Lakers Vs. Cavs, and Zarinah's Birthday.

Well, We celebrated Zarinah's birthday over a two day span by going to Winking Lizard at Huron and Prospect and then to the Cavs/Lakers game and then going to Olive Garden with her mother the day after....for the most part it was fun.


Her trying her new camera.

Taking a picture of this....


We were right behind the Lakers basket in the first half. I've never been that close without being on the side. It looked as if the players were running at us. They were great seats! The only time I couldn't really see was when the players were shooting free throws.

The game was great for me because the Lakers won. Zarinah was upset and said it was a waste of money since the Cavs lost. I actually had to hold in gloating because she was so upset. Here are more pics.....

A really shitty picture of Kobe and LeBron.

Kobe on the scoreboard in the first.

I will add more pics from the game when I get on her computer. So on monday, we go to Olive Garden, which is a nice restaurant, but nowhere that I'd dress up to go to, so her and I fought about that but her mom told her in so many words to get over it. After that died down, it was nice.
Her and Her Mom....and other pics.




Saturday Night before the Sunday of Lakers Vs. Cavs, Will and I went out to Mr. Gee's for a gettogether for Denise's 31st Birthday.
Denise And I

Mo Thoed Than A Football On Superbowl Sunday.......

I haven't been posting on any sites lately because all I've been wearing are all black goadomes for the last few weeks....or just "Nike Boots" as Wale' says.

I CANNOT PUT INTO WORDS HOW TIRED OF SNOW I AM.

Anyway, I guess the most eventful thing around here other than watching Kobe torch the Knicks for 61......



And then watching LeBron torch them for 52, 10, and 11...



the biggest triple double since the NBA and ABA merged in 1976, was the Super Bowl.



I was originally supposed to watch it with Zarinah, but for some reason she thought the game started at 8 instead of a little after 6. Smh.

I went to my manager DeCorey's house to watch it since he's the biggest Steelers fan I know other than my nigga Shon. It was a good time.....



My Manager Decorey.....


Wilbon....


Corey's cousin Dez was there as well....

Like I said, it was a good time. Unlike most Clevelanders, I don't hate the Steelers and I actually wanted to win because I was getting tired of people talking about Kurt Warner's old ass like it was 1999 again and he was throwing to Marshall Faulk. As much as I enjoyed the game, the commercials sucked ass to me and the only one that stood out was the one where the NFL players were doing ballet dances....and the only reason I remember that was because we were actually talking about how Ray Lewis was still effective, but not how he was 3 or 4 years ago and than he appears on the screen wearing a Ne-Yo type hat and dancing attire. I had at least 6-7 beers, 3 shots, and we smoked about 3 blunts total........



Corey's Figures.....

LeBrons....I've worn these far too much.smh.

Super Bowl Champs.


My Job has started to suck, Khrys is still bothering me about shit that happened when it was hot outside, and Andrew Bynum is going to be out for 8-12 weeks. It's gonna be nice outside by the time he's ready, which could be good or bad....

The Party Life.

Today kinda started with work....This redbone chick that works there rubs me the wrong way with some of the dumb shit she says and does so I don't really fuck with her like that, but I try to be cordial as I can be, and the assistant manager is a clown, and the nigga stole one of my sales because this woman wanted to buy a hard drive and a play and charge kit for her son's 360. I try to let that kinda shit roll off my back, but I'm not exactly happy with my job because it seems every week they're cutting the hours more and more. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm thankful to have a job because so many people don't, but I can't live off of what they pay and then them trying to cut hours too. After the people I mention a few moments ago left, it was me and the general manager which is great because dude actually works instead of just talking loud and not saying nothin. I sold a little over 2,000 and got 2 subs...which if you've worked for GameStop before know how difficult it can be to get people to buy subscriptions to our magazine so we can issue discount cards....I was pumped...but then the general manager got like 8. Shit made me salty.

Then Nikki came in the store and visited me since she's in town....it actually wasn't that bad.....



After work, the general manager and I had some drinks at A Touch Of Italy which is a bar across the street from the job. I had like 5 or 6 St. Pauli Girls.....shit was fun.

I left my phone inside the job though which sucks because I've got to go up there tomorrow and get that shit before the Cavs/Pistons game. Oh well.

At A Touch Of Italy, I met 2 nice women named Connie and Adrian. Shit was fun.

Yesterday I didn't really do shit but chill at the house and watch NBATV. Then around 9 I went with my dad to my aunt's house because my cousin Joi turned 27 on Jan. 27th so she got a bunch of food and beer together and we fell through. My sister was already there when we got there and it was great because all the Heineken was pretty much for me and Joi since no one else drinks!!!!

Joi.


So We Ate pizza and we all started talking about past fucked up situations that we can all laugh about. When I told them some of the stories I had with the Riviera, they were dying laughing. It was a really great time because I don't usually fuck with most family, but Joi, and my Aunt Donna are special to me.

My Aunt and My Sister....

My Dad and My Sister....

Joi and My Sister.....

Reminisce Session: 1998 Air Ubiquitous Max.

Well, Well, Well....what do we have here....another trainer from the mid to late 90s that's damn near impossible to find. I have been looking for these FOREVER. Nike retroed these in 2001-02 as a footaction exclusive, but in white/navy blue. I miss those days when footaction used to get their own colorways and shit. Footlocker bought them in 2004 when they were going bankrupt and they haven't gotten shit like that since. I'm a lil' geeked so the word shit might pop up a few more times...but fuck it. This is my blog. I NEVER SEE THESE ON EBAY. Never. I cannot put into words how bad I want these. Where is the Retro? Where? SHIT.
