Allen Iverson x DJ Steve Porter...

When you hear about AI coming back to the Philadelphia 76ers do you immediately think about him "talkin about practice?" Without that phrase Allen Iverson is still a good player however, that press conference sealed his place on the wall as one of my favorite all-time athletes.

Somedays that phrase gets stuck in my head and plays over and over again. But now thanks to DJ Steve Porter, I can now sing/rap to it. It's hard to explain, so just listen to it.

The song features Allen "we talkin about practice?" Iverson, Jim "Playoffs?" Mora, Dennis "they were who we thought they were" Green, and Joe "I wanna kiss you" Namath. Please at least wait until Namath's part. Just listen to the song one time. That's all I ask.


This is the type of song that will bring sunshine to a person's cloudy day.

The Hundreds x Delorean Motor Company



If you check back to my previous blogs you will see I am a huge fan of Back to the Future Part 2. The boys over at the Hundreds clothing company collaborated with the lone surviving Delorean auto plant in the US and came up with some fat designs.



The story of the Hundreds visiting the plant is incredible. It comes in six parts, so set aside some time to read those blog entries. These designs are incredible as well. Due out this Thursday at select locations. Read their blog for further deets. Good luck!

Cooperstown Collection x New Era

I realize it is not baseball season, but as I was flipping through Lids.com this past Black Friday, my eye continued to roam back to the MLB section. I feel like MLB hats are a little tighter than NFL, NBA and College hats mainly because it is essentially like wearing your favorite player's uniform.

Most of these hats I have pictured below are throwbacks from the Cooperstown Collection put out in collaboration with New Era, but I did throw in one modern day hat because I think we have all slept on it a little bit.



First up, Old School Phillies. Whoever thought of baby blue and marroon? That is a questionable decision right there. But after much reflection, this color scheme has grown on me. It makes me feel young again. Like I can open up a pack of baseball cards and eat the gum.



Montreal Expos. That cursive M is legit, as well as those different colored side panels. That red, white and blue makes me feel patriotic, however it is a Canadian team, so it confuses me.



This bird is up to something. It's like he knows something that I don't know. And it's a real good secret. He's a good guy though.



This is very Atari 2600. Not Nintendo or Commodore 64, because I never had a Commodore. That icon/ baseball player is right off an old school Atari 2600 cartridge. Just make sure you blow on it before you put it in.

I also love how it is spelled "Sox." We didn't know how to spell way before cell phones came out.



When this hat came out, kids went bonkers. The White Sox gained about 100,000 new fans. Every gang banger with a Raiders or LA Kings jacket now had a new cap to rock around the hood. Color out a small part of that "o" in Sox and it becomes "Sex." This cap is way underrated.

DC shoes AT-3...my weapon of choice...



What do I wear? I put up all these posts about Jordans and Pumps, but what I am rocking right now are these DC AT-3 shoes. They have features that I like; the Aerotech airvent, the air bubble wrapping around the back and a cute little air pillow on the bottom of the sneaker. Plus, they are extremely comfortable.







The AT-2's and AT-3's both come in some wild combinations of colors, but the formal looking black and whites caught my eye in a DC store awhile back. When I have a pair of shoes I like, I wear them!

I found these at skatestyles.com
