Nike Dunk SB FLOM hits stores…well, kind of.

For many sneakerheads out there the release of a new Nike Dunk SB is like Christmas morning. A chance to stand outside an exclusive sneaker store in maybe New York, Los Angeles, or Tokyo for the slim chance you may get your hands on the latest dope new Nike Dunk SB release. Of course, your chances of getting your hands on these new kicks is probably limited further by the score of resellers attending the new release of this shoe only to sell it on ebay or privately for only about 10 times the price sold in stores!

Where nike dunk sb has truly differentiated itself is in its ability to create a frenzy over nearly anything it releases. Air Force one, Jordan, bape, Nike air max the same cannot always be said about a new release of kicks.

So, when Nike announced it would release new Nike Dunk SB FLOM “for love or money” editions. Perhaps, sneakerheads might have gone into more of a frenzy had it not been for the simple fact…Nike in all its wisdom only released a rumoured 24 pairs of these exclusive kicks!

Well, that pretty much crushed any potential dunk lover’s dream (myself included) of ever coppin’ these new kicks without holding 9 Gs American to buy them from one of the lucky and soon to be rich owners of one of the 24 pairs.

Additionally, only 3 pairs of these sneakers went to public raffle in Hong Kong…Well that leaves your chances of getting your hands on this shoe about as likely as winning the lottery 3 times this week after buying 3 tickets only! Likin’ those odds? Well, neither was I! But I was determined to get my hands on them…

Recently, I was browsing the internet for information on these sneakers and mainly just finding the same article announcing their existence regurgitated about 500 times on a series of uninteresting internet blogs. However, upon spending way too much time online I did find one retail site alleging to hold in their hand, the reputed Nike Dunk SB FLOM editions “for love or money” upon looking at these shoes I did know they were variants, but still, I didn’t care the chances of me getting $9000 US to get a real one was about as likely as a pair falling from the sky and into my window in the Bronx. Undoubtedly, I contacted the owner of this website SBKICKS, which I believe is located in China or Hong Kong where the raffle for the 3 reputed authentic FLOMS took place, they were quick to explain to me that the shoes had recently been released on SBKICKS exclusively and a mere 200 pairs were in circulation, so even for variants these shoes were limited!!! Having a price tag of 199.99$ which was much easier on my pocket as a young guy, I copped these shoes and received them no less than 7 days later direct from overseas, the quality is fantastic, and its fun to watch peoples’ reaction in my neighbourhood seeing these kicks, definitely turns some heads…

The holidays are fast approaching and what a better way to get an impressive gift than with a high quality replica rolex watch

Rolex Watch

In the past replica, or fake, watches have often been stigmatized as being inferior and of low quality however after a brief time of research online I did discover that this is a rather false and outdated belief for a person to have since there is a huge range of quality in replica watches and replica goods in general.

Overall, the best yet most effective quality grade to have is AAA, or Super A replica watches. Of course there are better quality watches made in Switzerland but theres not a big discount off of the authentic price but AAA Rolex Watches are massively discounted due to being made in Asia. However, the replica watchmakers have really proved themselves well in the past decade or so bring replica watches into the modern era and using the right combination of machine work and handcrafting to produce a good quality replica watch that you dont have to be ashamed of or worry about falling apart after 2 days. I would still go with these watches because you can save a few thousand dollars and get the watch for maybe 100-300$ and the quality is still really good and the watch has class like an authentic watch does. You dont really have to worry about quality unless you buy some really cheap quality watch A or B quality is really cheap and you may see it being sold on Canal St. in New York’s, Chinatown or in a Flea Market but the quality is probably not good, you can tell usually by the price if it is around 50$ its probably way to cheap and 100% machine made as opposed to handcrafted like Super A watches.

Of course no one can compare an authentic rolex watch to a knock-off. Theres no comparison of materials or swiss craftmanship and tradition that makes this luxury item so desirable and world renowned. However, if you just want the style and you dont want the watch to fall apart you need to not just buy any fake rolex you have to seek out a good AAA quality one and you will be fine it will last a long time, look great and definitely impress people. There is more to this sleek and stylish item than just its price tag and a replica can really work miracles for those of us who cant afford a $10,000 watch just yet.

I recently bought the Nokia N95 at T Mobile and was quite impressed with it for about two weeks, and then Nokia announced the N95 8GB! I hate it when that happens. You buy a phone like the N95 because it’s the best phone available and then a few weeks later an even better version is announced. It’s got all the great features of the N95 – the 5-megapixel camera, the integrated GPS, the media controls, but with twice the built-in memory, 8GB flash memory and a bigger screen! Sure, it costs a couple of quid more, but look at what you get - an 8GB multimedia smart phone! If only I knew they were going to bring out a better N95 phone, I would have waited. Now I wish I could trade my N95 in for a N95 8GB!

I really hate blocking/firewalls.  You are sitting around at school or work, or whatever and of course these places just have to have a firewall blocking you from viewing the most exciting pages like YouTube, Myspace, Facebook, Friendster, DailyMotion, etc.   This has created an entire web industry of proxie: sites whose sole purpose is to allow you to browse the net under their IP address to bypass the firewalls and blocking methods used by schools, workplaces, etc.  The reason proxies work is that the school thinks you are visiting the proxy site but doesnt realize that underneath the proxy site you are actually viewing whatever site you want to view.  People can even use proxies to view adult material that is being blocked due to a firewall.

Another huge thing proxies are use for is in countries like Iran and China.  These countries governments have decided to block materials on the internet for the entire country!  In the case of China, the blocking is usually for News expressing dissent or criticism of the Chinese communist regime, adult material, Taiwanese or Tibetan sites and material, democratic political material, and much more.  Iran as a Muslim fundamentalist country has blocked all adult material, gay and lesbian material, and pro-western media; the intent of Iran with regards to internet blocking is to block any material that is not in keeping with Muslim Religious fundamentalism which means more sites are blocked than allowed in theory.

Here at HypeBoard.com we are keeping a fresh proxy list of working proxies so that for whatever reason you can unblock the internet for your own use at any time.  Please social bookmark this post by using the social bookmarking buttons and tell a friend.

However, if you work or go to school (which I assume you do, or should) you are probably unable to access your precious myspace accounts or others because most workplaces and schools will use a firewall or another method to block users from accessing these sites. I mean how are you to know who commented on your page at school? Or if you are bored out of your mind (and work or school is really the place for this :P) How are you to be able to relieve that boredom on your myspace account or facebook keeping it up to date and focusing on something a lot more interesting like your social life!

Just be sure to check it out and you will see what I mean., dont keep it a secret either, tell a friend, post it on your myspace, let others know! Theres no point in them being blocked for myspace either!

Air Jordans a history of sneakerhead tradition

Aritcle written by acclaimed urban writer Juan Salazar from the Bronx, NY

The following article will discuss the history, tradition, and success of air jordans the greatest basketball shoe in history. Air jordans are without a viable competitor, they are the ultimate shoe and have really been a staple of urban and basketball culture in North American and abroad since their birth in the mid 1980s. Air Jordans have immortalized Michael Jordan and also provided endless streams of revenue. His popularity combined with the uniqueness of the shoes and their acceptance into urban, street, basketball and generally popular culture can only be described as a fashion phenomena, that to this day has never truly been repeated. There are many sites online providing air jordans the most famous and respected of which is called sbkicks.com. As modern times bring us more towards and online era we will see this trend revolutionized via the internet and online social networks.

Air jordans or nike air jordans have a long history in the sneaker and shoes games as on of the most sought after, limited, and hyped shoes when they release a new line. The anticipation of new nike air jordans can create a great frenzy among nike and sneaker enthusiasts who love to follow the lasted hyped up trends online and in fashion magazines and more. Air Jordans are known under a variety of slang aliases which include AJ’s, Jordans, or J’s. Similarly, a pair of air jordans shoese or sneakers will often be referred to as a pair of “kicks”.

However, there is a great question in this sneaker lovers mind over whether or not everyone who collects air jordans and nike shoes in general really understands the long tradition of nike air jordans. Many of the newer styles coming out are described as nike air Jordan retros, however, everyone knows that these air Jordan retros have to be a retro of something and that history has carried several generations of sneaker lovers through a trend that is going to move on into the future at a far quicker rate thanks to the internet.

The first air jordans to come out, not too shockingly were Air Jordan I. This release of air jordans was designed by Peter Moore and they released in 1985. At this time most sneaker heads today, were not even born….At this time it was all about the basketball shoes, these shoes had not gained their recognition, fame, or celebrity that they have today and many retailed for about 20$ the tradition continued nonetheless.

The second release of nike air Jordan II from designer Eric Huber of King’s College ouccured in 1986 and carried the more expensive price tag of about 100$ for a pair. The exclusivity and hype of the air jordans sneakers may have began at this point in time. Some sneakers used Italian leather and fake lizard skin and being as these materials were a more expensive choice the price tag was not all hype back in the day of the air Jordan 2 releases.

Next came the air Jordan III made by designer Tinker Hatfield. They are described as a true revolution in air jordan’s history as a world renowned sneaker. There was a visible logo for air on the heel they also had humourous ads depicting Spike Lee and Mars Blackmon. More importantly,

Michael Jordan has himself declared that he prefers the air Jordan III over all other releases of air jordans. Following, we come to Air Jordan IV this was released in 1989 it was also still designed by Tinker Hatfield. These shoes were used in the promotion of Spike Lee’s movie “Do the Right Thing”.

Air Jordan V was released in February of 1990. To keep with the tradition Hatfield also designed this line of air Jordan shoes. He revolutionized this line of jordans with a reflective tongue on the air Jordan shoes which was very popular when it released. Clear rubber soles were also used to give the jordans a unique look.

The next inevitable air Jordan release would have to be the air Jordan VI being released in late 1990 or early 1991. Undoubtedly, you can imagine it was another instant success. This shoes big feature was a rubber tongue it has 2 holes so that the shoes could be put on more easily than previously. A practical, but nonetheless popular addition to the shoes which had become increasingly a staple of athletes. In particular, athletes of basketball seeking out air Jordan basketball shoes modeled after the famous Michael Air Jordan.

In 2007, air jordans have reached air Jordan XXII. They marked Michael Jordans 44th birthday. As technology progresses in the modern era so does that of the air jordans. In fact, this edition of kicks have Independent Podular Suspension (IPS), a shank made from titanium which provides midsole support, 2 pairs of interchangeable pillars in the heel. There were a variety of other features and hype surrounding these air jordans but I cannot really get into it all in this entry.

In conclusion, air jordans or for a time nike air jordans, are one of the most respected sneaker traditions with a history that outlasts even most contemporary sneaker trends and is older than many of the current sneakerheads who passionately seek out the latest and most exclusive kicks available.

One can assume that this tradition will continue long into the future with the acceptance of air jordans into contemporary urban and sporting culture across the world and the proliferation of the air Jordan brand across the online world as a recognizable staple of fashion and lifestyle that really cannot be copied or taken over by any newcomer brand.

Hello, girls and guys I was just browsing the net when I came across the newest Chanel purse collection and I could hardly keep my credit card in my current louis vuitton purse because I just wanted to own one of these gorgeous, breath-taking sexy Chanel purses…

Seriously, girls, have you all seen the 2007 chanels? I have never seen such sexy handbags and I work in New York’s fashion district right now and I always see them before everyone else.

The other day I met up with my girlfriends for lunch and they all had some old dated worn out prada and chloe handbags and I stunned them all when I walked in carrying my brand new Chanel purse. They were so jealous I could tell, they did however politely ask me where they could get this magnificient bag and since I am not a petty person I told them that my source for top handbags was malibuvogue.com and I am sure they all went and got them because the next week their old dated worn out bags were replaced with some fine luxury Chanels. Damn us girls must have looked hot sitting in that café in Manhattan.

Well enough of my chatting about handbags girls, maybe next weeks blog will be more informative. I want to also talk about what the louis vuitton purses makers have been up to over in Paris, I am sure you will all want to tune in for that fashion update.
