Sneak(s) of the Week with Shannon from Activator

Posted on 09/02/2008

I don't know where to start, it's been a pretty busy week. First off Puma is coming out with the Screaming Hand Puma- first round, a little tribute to the Santa Cruz skateboard company. It made me wonder what Puma ever did for skateboarding but then I remembered how The Sky 2 was the ill skate shoe. Steve Caballero was rockin them black and red joints when he did that backside boardslide on park bench for the cover of Thrasher. I'm not so crazy about them but if youre interested they came out saturday and they're most likely still at alife. (What up rob!)

 

I am happy as a muhfucka to announce that Adidas is re-releasing two dope ass shoes. Finally they realize that they don't have to keep making all of these stupid designs and just stick with the hotness that had them on top in the past. First off the Torsion Bank Shot hi top...

...will drop again in jan but so will The Metro Attitude Knicks, which by the way used to be The Ewings. If you remember a few weeks ago I did a feature on those, if you dont, go check it out. It makes me really happy to know those will be back in my closet. Don't tell Nike.

 

Jordan has the true flight coming, looks kinda cool. Not so into the red stitching which makes it look a little too "lifestyle". It looks a lot like the 7 with some tweaking.

Those also come in january but even sooner is yet another Spiz'ike that you cant get in the states.

What the fuck? I mean even though these look a little "Fulton street" (if you know what I mean), why hold out on the states? Just like the cool grey, no bueno Michael but I know Jordan got some shit up the sleeve so ima fall back.

 

I'm feeling the house of hoops olympic 180's,

I have no idea where to find them yet, just sayin.

 

I was snooping around on dallaspenn.com to see what he was up to (true sneaker fiend) and came across these custom ?uestlove Air Max joints.

Theres something both hot and not hot about them. Thats kinda how I feel about Air Max in general. Some of them are hot and some I just can't fuck with, I know to some people those are like the holy ark of shoes. I think I have only two pairs. I know muhfuckas get all mushy for the 1's, 90's and 95's and rightfully so, those are the best ones to me. I got a pair of the kid robot Air Max joints, I wear them like twice a year.

Anyway I came across this video that i havent seen in a long time. Somewhere in the early 90's Kool G Rap came to the realization that not only did DJ Polo not do a damn thing, but he had to split the money with him. So like any sensible dude would do he cut him loose. DJ Polo decided to make his own record. Its a classic featuring a verse from none other than the hedgehog himself, Ron Jeremy. Oh you didnt know Ron made a rap record?

 


 

Look down, just look down. You can't really tell but if you look closely you can see that Polo is wearing my least favorite Air Max, the '97 (or maybe 98). Check out this video, then try to figure out why it's still in your head. John Wayne Bobbit is in the fucking video. Vanessa Redgrave is the fucking video. Shame on you Polo, not only is this some bullshit booty music, but Ron almost came off better than you and...the best thing about it is a Vanessa Redgrave cameo. This is fuckin Luther Campbell booty music if you wanna get deeper you can say this is the beginning of NY dickriding. Either you were really insightful and foreshadowed the future dickriding to come or...
