OSD Talk Show: Ep. 141 DJ Clark Kent (5-Boros Pack/ WBF & More)

OSD would like to remind it's listeners & followers that money is needed to help those affected by the earthquake in Haiti, the mudslides in Guatemala, the oil spill in the Gulf Coast and the many other natural disasters that have taken place in various countries.  We encourage you to give $10, by texting "RedCross" to 90999.(Standard text messaging rates apply. The $10 will be billed to your cellphone account.) The $10 will go the the American Red Cross Relief Fund.

The Crew is joined by DJ Clark Kent, the man behind some of Hip Hop's all-time great songs and albums.  The artists that he's worked with reads like a "Who's Who" list of the music industry, but what many people who are into sneakers know, is that Clark likes sneakers. 

The Nike Air Force 1 5-Boroughs Pack was released at Nike Sportswear, located at 21 Mercer Street, in New York City, on July 31.  The sneakers, along with a block party DJed by Clark Kent, were the lead-up to the World Basketball Festival, which is taking place in New York City this month.

As with all OSD episodes, we talk sneakers and, more importantly, we talk to and hear from the people that like sneakers...ALOT!

OSD: Episode 82: Sneaker Pimps ATL

Assaults: Crime doesn't pay

When times get tough and folks are struggling to put food on the table
and keep the lights on, so to speak, there is a direct correlation to
the increase in violence.

In the town of Caribou, Maine, which is best known for having over 5-
feet of snow, has seen a rash of assaults among teenagers, not for
iPods or cellphones, but sneakers.

The sneakers of choice are the Nike Air Force 1 low sneakers.

With their multiple colors and supposed street credibility, Air Force
1s a/k/a/ Uptowns or 1s, have teenagers from throughout the small town
fighting one another and leaving battle scars.

Sneaker aficionados know how popular the Bruce Kilgore-designed Air
Force 1s are, but it's still unknown why a sneaker that was initially
released in 1982, a basketball sneaker nonetheless, is so popular
today with kids in the 'hood and the suburbs alike.

We, at OSD, know the pull of Air Force 1s and have seen some well
designed AF1s by the likes of DJ Clark Kent and Stash. But let's be
straight forward and to the kids of Caribou, ME and all over the
world, we have to state that you are too valuable and have too much to
loose to throw it all away over a pair of sneakers. Be smarter people
and if you can't afford the sneakers, get a job and save your money to
buy that fresh pair of 1s......you'll appreciate them that much more.

As always, keep your laces tied tightly, your tongue loose and walk
GOOD!!

A Confession: Air Jordan XX3 Lover

There's been alot of talk about the Air Jordan XX3, and yours truly has been the most vocal with my dislike for the Air Jordan XX3. You see, I'm a Jordan fanatic and have my fair share of Air Jordan sneakers, but when I see a sneaker that I think is downright ugly and uninspiring, I'm the first to say so and issue a "pass" for not being allowed into my quiver.

Well, the one and only Paper Chasr got a pair of the XX3's, wore them this past weekend and confesses his love for the Air Jordan XX3. Check out the video for Paper Chasr's confession:

Royal Treatment

I've been doing some sole searching and I've yet to find out what my purpose is in life, but one thing is certain: When you treat people with respect and the same way you'd like to be treated, the end result is a beautiful thing.

Peep my latest creation done at the Nike ID-DJ Clark Kent 25 event:

A Sneakerhead in the White House?

Can sneakerheads get political and start a movement for the upcoming 2008 Presidential elections? I’m not sure if this is a fair question to ask because as the world learns more about the ‘sneakerhead’ community, many have been quick to dismiss ‘heads as a bunch of fakers who only care about their sneakers and attire.

With the races getting jump started by the likes of Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani and John Edwards it’s no surprise that Barack Obama has launched his own exploratory committee to ‘test the waters’ on a run for the White House.

As a number of sneakerheads approach that age of 18-years old where the males have to register with the Selective Service and register to vote, it’s going to be very interesting to see if these women and men do register and, as Puffy states “VOTE or DIE”.

It’s too early to make sweeping remarks because I’ve been known to be wrong a few times and I’m not too proud to admit it (It’s tough to admit, but I wasn’t raised a fool.). Time will only tell as a number of candidates will make their way through New Hampshire onto other ‘key’ states. Who knows, we may catch one or two candidates stumpin’ in their Air Force 1s? I’m not going to hold my breath because I’d have a better chance of seeing DJ Clark Kent rock the same pair of AF1s more than once.

Time will only tell and until then, I have to remain, humbly yours…….A Classic.
