Just For Kicks Vol. 2

#RANDOM

One of my fave pair of Adidas (ZXZ+) that I have had for YEARS and I decided to rock them today...I don't even know what to call this colorway but I do it for the love of sneakers!!!

iHEEZY's Fashion Tips Vol. 5

This is more like a shameless plug than an actual list of tips (don't you dare judge me). But if you all follow me on twitter (@iHEEZY if you not followingm e do that now) you all have seen me tweet #koolsincebirth. That is an idea stuck in my head for the longest; the idea is for a dope hipster clothing line and the wheels have finally gone in to motion so stay tuned for more more information on #koolsincebirth. BUT....I do have one fashion tip today...DON'T ROCK FAKE KICKS!!!

Just For Kicks Vol. 1: Kobe In Jordans

This is a new segment dedicated sneakers. It will consist of some of the Famers getting caught rocking dope kicks or celebrities or just snap shots of dope kicks in general. The first volume is something I found dope; Kobe Bryant rocking Jordans. A lot of people forget that time period between the Adidas Crazy 8s and KB24 switching to Nike's. Jordan's were a favorite of his during that time...check out some moments.

Air Jordan Retro 5

A dope colorway of the classic Air Jordan Retro 5 is set to drop this Summer. The Navy/Red colorway is one not seen before and one I think is pretty dope...but wasn't it like 2 years ago JB said they weren't dropping anymore retro 5s??? Hmmmmmmm....but These are on my cop list and don't forget the Bordeaux 7s drop this weekend!!

iHEEZY's Fashion Tips Vol. 4 (+some other words)

What's good world!? We gettin back in to the meat of our blog here at 6months2fame. Be sure to follow us on twitter @Fame_Gang6 and all that but that's not what I'm here for right now. I'm here to drop some hot fashion tips on you for the Spring and Summer. Like 2 weeks ago I was in Atlanta on vacation and did a little shoppin (shoutout to Wish, Standard Lenox, and Sole on Luckie Street) and I have my official predictions of whats gonna be hot for the fellas. Of course Ima say cargo shorts are the hotness but jean shorts are not completely dead (I just don'e wear em) so I recommend cargo's (no outlandish colors tho). I also say for tops we gon keep it real basic; if you goin with a collared shirt Ralph Lauren or Lacoste with the small emblem is dope (NO BIG PONY'S OR BIG CROCS) or dope brands of tee shirt with the small logo on the breast also (big logo's aren't dead for tees just simple is gonna be dope for the summer). Now footwear is gonna depend on the occasion yall know I'm a sneaker head so Ima say dope sneaks if you goin for a sporty look, watch out for the True Blue 3s from Air Jordan and the Sprite Edition Lebron 8s from Nike. If you goin for the casual look Sperry deck shoes or low cut casual Adidas. For headgear I say ditch the snap backs and get back to fitted's if you goin sporty or bucket hats for something cutting edge casual!!! As for me this summer I'm gon do a little of all of it so catch me if u can!!!

Is The Bath Finally Over?

Bathing Ape has been an iconic staple in the hip hop world for the past decade. From Pharell rocking BAPE trucker hats to Soulja Boy's first track where he spit "I Got Me Some Bathing Apes" the brand has always stood for all things fresh; this is why so many people were in dismay when they heard 90% of the company was sold to a Japanese holding firm called I.T., LTD. What will come of this brand so many hipsters love?? The brand is in debt ($32,000,000 USD to be exact) and has been in a slump for the past few years! I surely hope things come together for the company and if not I need to cop some t-shirts asap!!!

H-Town Sneaker Summit

We posted some footage from the Atlanta sneaker auction last week so we gotta show you footage from from the Mecca of sneakerheads; the H-Town Sneaker Summit. It is soooooo much dope s**t in this footage its crazy. Shoutout to The Shoe Game for the original post and next year we plan to have our own footage!!!

The Real Is BACK....

A lot of people were so hyped about the release of the white and cement Air Jordan Retro 3s a couple weeks back but i would like to say..."f**k yo fresh" in my Jay-Z voice because one of the best Jordan's to rock the cement elephant print are dropping this year. The black and cement Retro 3s will be making a return this year (date not released) and they will be copped.


The True Blue 3s also drop this year!!

More Packages From Jordan Brand

All my sneakerheads remember JB's original DMP (Defining Moments Package 6/11) which sparked a slew of other packages (BMP, CDP, 60+). Now we are getting word that another package may be on the horizon for 2011 featuring 2 of the most iconic Air Jordan 5 colorways; Grape's and Laney's. The sneaker heads on the team surely hope these drop. (wipes drool off keyboard to post)

iHEEZY's Fashion Tips Vol. 2

So today I woke up and mighta been the freshest nigga in the world today! lol Naw I'm just kiddin...I woke up thinkin how can I get back to my preppy look with a spin and I thought about how to incorporate my new found sweatshirt fetish. In volume 1 I told yall that sweatshirts were dope this year and now Im bout to tell you how to throw a twist on it. Polo sweatshirts with a polo underneath and cargo pants are my advice for gettin a rugged preppy look. Contrasting colors like a grey sweatshirt, red polo under, classic khaki cargos and red chucks is the most basic example I can think of (I had that one the other day lol)...but try it out and tell em iHEEZY dressed u!!

Another Year, Another Doernbecher

AF1 Work Boot Edition

I know ppl are saying Forces are out and no one rocks them any more but Nike is still dropping dope AF1's like these...I like em...

iHEEZY's Fashion Tips Vol. 1

Wus good famers!? Its yo favorite manager/hypeman iHEEZY; yall know Ima fashion fanatic sneakers, clothes, hats, everything so I'm bout 2 give you my perspective of whats dope for the fall for my fellas...1st is sweatshirts; not hoodies but good ol fleece, crewneck sweatshirts: If you saw the footage from KState homecomin weekend you see that's what I was rockin from vintage starter, to mighty healthy and everything in between sweatshirts are definitely in. Be on the look out for Champion to get hot with their basic sweatshirts. Now for the kicks; you know JB is droppin some crack this season with the French Blue 13s, Cool Grey 11s, Winterized 6 Rings but the sleeper kicks to look out for are the Nike 1/2 Cents. The eggplant colorway dropped recently and are on my must cop list and the cranberry ones are on deck. If those aren't your thing you can't go wrong with a dope pair of Air Max 24-7s or Adidas Top Tens. Jeans are something I'm not even gon discuss 501s or die (other Levi's are acceptable just not them "Super Skinnys"). And for head gear...Vintage Deadstock skullies are too dope, a 59/50 is standard and the snapback trend is still going strong but if you rockin snapbacks only vintage and Mitchell & Ness (NO NEW ERA SNAP BACKS...THEM SHITS IS ASS). Thats just a quick run down of whats hot for the fall don't forget cardigans are always a thumbs up, pullover hoodies from dope brnds (I suggest North Face) get the go ahead and dope work boots (I might go Drizzy Red Wing it out). Check out photos below! And Ima be back with more dope fashion tips soon!
