The Remix Project x The need for family

So, a friend guided me to the remix project and told me it was something I should look into...when I did I saw the most interesting and accomplished youth and I wanted to be a part of that...but what I thought was that everyone there had a deep story to their lives that made them stand out above the rest...whether it be the hardship of where they grew up or battles that they overcame in their lives.

And I thought to myself, that can't be me.

I mean I have never had to fear going outside my house with the chance of being shot or overcame real battles in my life.I have never been a troubled youth and be at risk with gangs... I'm poor, it's just me and my mother and that's the way it's always been. There were better times that I vaguely remember, where I used to feel the love of family. But that's something in the distant past that will NEVER return, that ended in heart break and sorrow...My mother always tried to provide me with everything and I will always love and thank her for that. But apart of me always wanted to have family somewhere. So as I looked into remix I found more and more people calling them family and I wanted to see if it was true, could I find a family in this organization...can I be something more than I am.

It hurt's a lot to see the people you look up to the most let you down into a bed of nails...


My own brother(biological). I was so proud of him, he was everything in my eyes. The coolest person I had ever known and I was so proud to be related to him. I wanted to walk, dress and talk like him and be a business man like he was. He always took me to the movies and let me stay over at his place. But as I got older I realized that's all he did. He never taught me anything of real value...one day I was in his car driving home and I asked him "Chris, why have you never taught me to play basketball and stuff like that, or taught me how to cut hair like you do..." he stared at me for a second and said" Listen, I am not your father, you are not my responsibility..." those words are scared in my mind forever, every time I see him I hear it in my head and as time went out he became colder and colder to me and my mother until he complete cut us off...I always wondered why he did it. Back when we used to live better he always brought his friends around to hang out and since we started to live where we are now he just cut us off. He was embarrassed of us embarrassed by how we are living and it hurt. That was the beginning when I started losing people to look up too. There are many more I put my admiration in that let me down...because of drug abuse, being in jail etc etc...



but I am starting to go off topic and being long winded and I ask you forgiveness. I just felt I had to get that off my mind...I really do hope remix contacts me back...I hope...

The release details are finally available for these highly-anticipated collaborations between two landmark DJs and Nike Sportswear.

The DJ AM Dunk Hi features the legendary and innovative AC/DC-inspired logo on the tongue and perforations to match the markings on a Tecnics 1200 turntable on the heel atop a bit of reflective material. Premier’s Air Force 1 has a much more rugged look in it’s dark colors and tough materials. Premier’s name is laser-etched on the heels with another logo etched on the forefoot. Via: Freshness Mag

Pretty fresh, I like em. Especially the way that they  are presented. The custom boxes paired with Serato vinyl that reference the colors of the sneakers make it that much more dope.

Side Note: I have NEVER owned a pair of Nike's in my entire life,weird huh? but that's for a different post, coming soon though...

Adidas Originals - Desert Boot

As one of the favorite footwear canvases and silhouettes of 2009, the classic desert boot had infiltrated the footwear market in collaborations and new renditions. The choices for desert boots can be slightly overwhelming, and not all pairs will make the cut. Putting the best foot forward for 2010, adidas put their two cents into the desert boot game and came up with a simple adidas interpretation of the iconic footwear. The boots retain the well-loved and familiar chukkah shape and is distinctively yet subtly adidas with perforated three stripes down the side. The boots come in fail-safe black and tan suede, and a more daring electric blue that has a sportier nylon toe box and tongue. For the black and tan versions, the boots also come with matching tonal soles (the blue sits atop a crisp white sole to further accent its sporty edge). Wonderful options for desert boots with the comfort of sneakers, check them out for your new year’s footwear wishlist to prep for your cuffed pants once the cold subsides. via: sneakerfreaker

This has amazing artistic togetherness(well, that's what I will call it). The colours, the track, the cameras view point of Shibuya & Harajuku in Tokyo, a place that I want to visit sooner than later in life. Everything fits together to make an incredible piece. Tell me what you think...
