word. wtf is wrong with you kids. almost NO ONE painting in jersey now can do tags half as good as the stuff that's peeking through the buff on that barrier. also kids should lay of the viaduct along mccarter highway in newark. if you do something there, make sure you are not going over a faded kece(rip), epic, 8ball or other old school tags.

http://www.80scasuals.co.uk/interviews.html yo read this interview. this dude's job was to travel the world to look for old "trainers" in the early 90's. hardcore shit.

i will be there, y'all. i have no idea what to expect. never been to any sneaker event before.

one thing about nikes is that quality now blows. the cracking that happens on the painted midsoles now is unforgiveable, it didn't used to be like that. from 85-95 nike's design was unfuckwithable. but its been over ten years since they made a new shoe that i love. all the brands have gone in the direction of spaceboot looking bullshit though. so i only rock classics. i mean, seriously, got to footlocker and see how ugly shit is. in the 80's and 90's, all the dopest shit was just at your local store. you didn't need to go on ebay or boutiques in nolita to get the good shit. there was no "scene" either. i don't own a pair of dunks, jordans or air forces ones. my taste in sneakers is euroish. a lot of the nike shit i want gets released there and not here. right now, im feeling classic adidas styles with nice quality leather more than anything. don't know why nike can't do that. full grain leather joints with real pigskin inner lining and shit like that. why pay 100$ or more for a sneaker made of pleather? i make exceptions for the pinacle of classic nike design, but still... id rather see retros with better material and construction than 100 crazy random looking colorways with magenta faux iguana skin and bullshit like that. i got those ZX8000 in the white/purple/macaw from a few years back. haven't actually worn them yet. also in the UK, its AM95's and later that are popular. those are the shoes chavs wear. if you don't know what chav is, look it up and you'll understand why people there are down on nikes.

frankenclydes are fresh. cop these, kids. they look like clydes and suedes but are more comfortable, they have more padding.

yeah, i know the price is ludicrous. obviously i will never pay $800 for a pair of sneakers. saw another pair for "only" 550.

love these ones. looks like they were done on a school too, in true toy fashion. is that floral paint magenta?

Nike Air Huarache Int'l White/Black/Green Chile Nike Air Huarache Int'l White/Black/Green Chile these are my holy grail. i had them in 92/93 and i will have them again someday. the most comfortable shoe i have ever had. i would kill a motherfucker to get a new condition pair in size 12. i doubt they will ever be retro'd. they weren't very common then and now no one even knows about them.

"it's even funnier to imagine how the kids that write this stuff look." i imagine the kind of of poeple who do stuff like ABC1 ANDROID up there are 14 y.o. wiggers who wear raver pants and visors and have limp bizkit posters in there rooms.

thats pretty nice actually. unless you meant the scrible with the swastika.

is this shit still around? i've never seen these people in real life. i don't think they exist on the east coast.

yeah, i had a belton molotow can leak at the seem. it was one of the first batch of them that made it to america, so i figured it might have had some quality contol issues. tons of krylon cans have blown up on me over the years, and a few rustos, so i don't think it's that big a deal.

italy is coming ill these days.

i got on 12oz in spring 99 i think. at that point, you didn't have to register. it was just a little message board. i also lurked on alt.graffiti. that place was pretty cool. a fairly high ratio of posters there were good/famous writers. there should an alt.graffiti thread on here. i remember everytime anyone tried to talk about freights, dudes from germany would flip out and say stuff like "all USA writers are toys who don't do real trains." there was a kid "augi" that everyone hated who was a lot like tease on here. zack morris always said some funny shit. espo was researching his book etc.
