Fresh Dynamic? (c) Sean Walton Jr.



The title of this post was one of the site names Mr. Walton ran across me a little less than a year ago before deciding on theFreshxpress.com. Wellllllll, not even a year later theFreshxpress.com is AWARD winning! Congrats to all at theFreshxpress for racking up three Black Weblog awards in the categories BEST NEW BLOG, BEST CULTURE BLOG, and BLOG TO WATCH. Crazy for an idea that was thought up a year ago huh? I however am not surprised in the LEAST bit! ;-)


If you don't check out theFreshxpress.com on the regular you are a LAME.

Boats and Hoes (c) Step Brothers

I love boat shoes...I love Vans. However, I can't say I would have guessed that the two would have blended so well. Below we have four versions of the Vans Vault Del Barco LX. No pricing... Sowwie, but be expecting these to hit stores sometime this month :)





What's my mutha f*&#n name? (c) JIGGA

Mr. Shawn Carter who rarely does interviews allowed himself to be put in the hot seat by Bill Maher for a special episode of Real Time with Bill Maher... I was relieved that it wasn't the typical interview that consists of the same boring questions...Bill Maher asked some relevant things, and he (or his writers) did some research when it came to Jay-Z's music repetoire... lol

The Man With One Red Shoe (c) Robert Klane


Those that know me know that I have never been a huge fan of the color red... But I AM a HUGE fan of all things velcro, so for the Nike Sportswear Blazer AC High LE I might have to make an exception. I don't know anything about a release or a price for this shoe. In fact, I read somewhere that it's available at a few sneaker shops already... HOWEVER, there is supposed to be a wider release for the shoe sometime later this year. I'll be waiting...


We Gotta Do Better Wednesday!

KEVIN JOHNSON
Mr. Johnson, former Phoenix Suns point guard and current Mayor of Sacramento has been receiving some negative press lately for his alleged misuse of Americorps money... To the tune of 400,000+ dollars. How is this possible you ask? Well, in the Americorps program an individual is supposed to work with an organization to combat poverty. It's basically volunteer work except the individual that is accepted is offered a very modest living stipend... But they have to be in some way, shape or form working to fight poverty. Mr. Johnson is accused of having the Americorps volunteer clean his car, pick up his dry cleaning and pick up his lunch.... I'm pretty sure those things couldn't pass as unconventional ways to combat poverty.... Come on Kevin!

To my people in leadership positions, they ALREADY expect us to not be legit...Lets work on proving them wrong. WE GOTTA DO BETTER.

Even on bootleg this trailer looks AMAZING. What is it about? Some sci-fi-esque action film that takes place within the architecture of the mind... Vague? Most definitely so! Lol. Christopher Nolan how I love thee... There is so much mystery surrounding this film...I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it lives up to the hype and will NOT disappoint! Hopefully they let some secrets out about it soon. Coming to theaters JULY 16, 2010... Grrrr, I have so long to wait :(
