Nike Vandal High Supreme Quickstrike
Anyone that really knows me should know that Nike Vandal’s used to be one of my favorite models of all time. That was until Nike gave them the Dunk treatment and cranked them out in every possible random unnecessary colorway. But ranting aside, I am always happy to see a Vandal Supreme with a nylon upper, and you definitely can’t go wrong with the solid Black/Metallic Summit White...

Little Tokyo: Koraku
This weekend after the “Sneakers Are My Life!” event, I drove a few blocks down to Koraku in Little Tokyo for some late night eats. Koraku is located down the street from RIF Los Angeles, and is best known for their ramen, but they also serve up a variety of other authentic Japenese dishes. I don’t remember the exact names of what we ordered, but everything was delicious....

Nike SB Koston One Preview
The Koston One is set to make its debut in 2011. It seems that Eric Koston kept it very simple and performance minded for his first signature sneaker with Nike SB. As you can see, the colorway is nearly identical to the recently released ‘Koston’ Dunk Low. One nice touch added to the overall simple design, is the “Lunar” insole of the shoe. Once again, Eric Koston, being...

It’s the kind of place you can go when you don’t know what you feel like eating, and no matter what you decide on from the menu, you know it’ll be good. With their generous portion sizes and fair prices, Yummy is...

Time For An Upgrade
In the past few years, Nike has released a variety of widely accepted sneakers that tip-toe the thin line between hybrid/fusion and retro. I like to think of them as upgraded classics. These models include the likes of the Jordan Alpha 1, Air Maxim 1, Air BW Gen II, Air Trainer SC 2010, and numerous others. These are absolutely not your typical Hybrid/Fusion. These models take some of the more...
