2009-07-02T23:25:00.007-05:00

A little collection post, not all of what I own but the pairs that truly took some cash and a hard time to find. The years of the shoes range from 1999-2002, all of them are size 10-10.5 none of for sale, and I am looking for more air force 1/dunks from that great era.

Winning design pt. 2

2009-07-02T20:46:00.003-05:00

Never got a chance to post up my winning design from the sneakerplay air force 1 id contest. The shoes came out great in my opinion, the quality of the materials was superb, just too bad I wasn't able to order a other pair because nike switched the options...but hey nothing beats a pair of nike af1 ids

New Pickup: Nike Air Force 1 "obsidian/cone"

2009-03-02T13:41:00.007-06:00

Picked up these obsidian/cone air force 1s from 2000 recently, classic tumbled leather/mesh combo. The colors/materials really blend well together...nike needs to look into the past to get some inspiration for upcoming releases.

Vintage Leopard Blade, handle has a leopard on one side and the word "leopard" on the other.

Nike Ids

2008-04-26T14:18:00.003-05:00

I just designed my first pair of Nike Ids. They are the Air Max 90 in an all granite nubuck upper, granite colored mesh, with an "tar" colored glazed leather swoosh, laser blue accents + laces, and "tar" contrast stitching. I can not wait to see the outcome I hope everything looks as I envisioned. I will post pics when they arrive in a few weeks.

Weeks MVP

2008-04-21T01:00:00.003-05:00

D-Lee was a main part for the Cubs taking the number 1 spot in the central division and sweeping the pirates for the second time this season. He had a total of 3 home runs, 7 rbi, 10 hits, and we all know he flashed the leather. Derek Lee has been having a great season so far he leads the club in most of the offensive category's and most importantly the team is winning. Their record is now 12-6 and they lead the division by half a game. They face the Mets tomorrow on ESPN (6:15 pm) Big Z(2-1) will get the start against John Maine(1-1).

Classic Dip-Set

2008-04-20T00:36:00.001-05:00

Original Dipset rap city freestyle. Classic Flow, if only things were still the same.

enjoy.

My Newest Pickup

2008-04-14T12:41:00.002-05:00

Finally was able to get my hands on a pair even though I had to shell out a little extra, but it was well worth it. Definitely a top 5 retro for the year 2008 and so much more to come later in the year.....stay tuned.

Cubs MVP For The Week: 3-way tie

2008-04-13T19:03:00.003-05:00

The Mvp(s) for the week are 3 players who really helped to the Cubs get a few wins as they went 4-2 for the week putting them at 7-6 for the year. D-Lee had a other great week knocked in 5 rbi with 8 hits, and real nice defense play that got Wood out of a jam in todays game. Geovany Soto had a great defensive week catching and he also knocked in 5 rbi with 9 hits through out the week. John Lieber made two relief appearances and got 2 victorys with a total of 7.1 innings pitched and a 0.00 era. I would love to give a big shout-out to Felix Pie who had a 2-run game winning single earlier in the week doesn't seem that he will be getting that much playing time despite his best efforts with Reed Johnson looking mighty comfortable in center field. The Cubs have a off day tomorrow as they return to Wrigley to face the Reds on Tuesday.

Is it the shoes?

2008-04-11T15:42:00.002-05:00

Kobe Bryant unveiled a new sneaker called the "hyperdunk" in a laker colorway in yesterdays game. He made this youtube video of himself jumping over a Aston Martin while having the hyperdunks on. It has gotten a lot of attention and I am sure the attention of many Laker Executives. Real or Edited?...you be the judge.

Seasons First Sweep

2008-04-11T00:29:00.002-05:00

Congrats to the Cubbies for sweeping the Pirates today, the first sweep of the long season. I missed todays game due to class but I saw highlights and it looked like a good one. Soriano finally had a 2 hit day and a steal, Soto had 4 hits today including a home run, and Fontenot hit a 2-run homer also. Lieber got his second win and a other outstanding effort from the bullpen. Congrats to Felix Pie for hitting a game winning 2-run single in the 15th inning in yesterdays game. The Cubs drive down to face the Phillies for the weekend series. Big Z will start off the series instead of Marquis who is currently suffering from strep throat. Lets Go Cubbies!

Shoe Pile

2008-04-07T17:42:00.003-05:00

Just a picture of my shoe pile I made with my collection of kicks a few weeks ago. Took a while to get it how I wanted it, but it all worked out in the end. Its since grew a couple pairs larger but nothing major. Enjoy!

Cubs MVP For The Week

2008-04-06T17:56:00.003-05:00

The Chicago Cubs ended the week at 3-3, Derek Lee had a great week with 10 hits including 6 back to back hits between Saturday and Sundays game, he also had 3 home runs and 4 runs batted in, not to mention he played outstanding defense but thats a given. He hit home run to break the 2-2 tie in todays game vs Astros and that home run would eventually be the run that would help push the Cubs to victory. Which is why I chose D-Lee as the Cubs Mvp for this week.

Other players also shined this week including Kosuke Fukudome who had 8 hits, 1 home run and 5 runs batted in, in his first week with the Chicago Cubs. Kerry Wood pitched lights out, out of the bullpen and got his first 3 saves as a closer.

Alfonso Soriano who seemed to be struggling to get a hit, blasted a home run today hopefully ending the beginning of season slump he was in. The Cubs fly to Pittsburgh tonight and play the Pirates tomorrow Lilly will get the start, the game is set to start at 12:35.

Classic Air Max 90 Retros

2008-04-06T17:02:00.003-05:00

The Air Max 90 Infrared colorway was released in the United States about 3 years back in the NOW classic "History Of Air" package, many people slept on this colorway and many other colorways from the pack, including myself. Prices dropped drastically, and the shoe would eventually hit outlets. Since then, it has become one of the most popular colorways of the Air Max 90. Now it nearly impossible to find a pair unless you are willing to shell out around 250+.

About a year later in Europe, JD Sports a sports/fashion shop located in the UK, released a exclusive instant classic "laser blue" colorway of the Air Max 90. This shoe would not hit the states and sneaker collectors from the U.S. had to pay big money, around 300+ to get this shoe shipped to them from overseas.

Both the Infrared and Laser Blue colorways of the Air Max 90 are on the "want" list of many sneaker collectors. It would be best to pick up a pair before they all dry up and prices increase even higher than they already are. Hope everyone who slept on these gets their pair, I hunt for 10.5 every now and then, but can't seem to pull the trigger for 300+ hopefully i work up the courage soon.

Welcome to Chicago

2008-04-01T01:07:00.005-05:00

Kosuke Fukudome made his Chicago Cubs debut today, as he came up to his first at bat the crowd welcomed him with a standing ovation. The first pitch he seen BAM! Double to deep center, the crowd went wild. In the ninth inning Fukudome hit a 3 run home run to tie the game at 3-3. Even though the Cubs would eventually loose the game to the Brewers 4-3. It was a great start to Kosuke Fukudome career who went 3 for 3 in the game and lets hope its just a glimpse of whats to come in future for the rest his career with the Chicago Cubs.

LETS GO CUBBIES!!!!

2008-03-27T22:39:00.002-05:00

The Cubs season kicks off in 3 days, for all the cubs fans out there lets hope we hear the cubs anthem "Go Cubs Go" performed by Steve Goodman a lot of times this season....heres to the 2008 Cubs let put an end to the curse this year.

Air Tech Challenge II

2008-03-27T01:11:00.007-05:00

Once worn by the rebellious Andre Agassi during a time when bright colors, long hair, and ear rings were not part of the tennis game. The long awaited for re-release of the Nike Air Tech Challenge II has already touched down in several parts of the United States and should be popping up everywhere within the next week or so. Above is a picture of the original ATCII and an original Nike Ad for the shoe

R.I.P Notorious B.I.G.

2008-03-09T15:08:00.003-05:00

Today marks the 11th year since the murder of the "Notorious B.I.G." A suspect has still not been found, I'm sure we all hope that this case gets resolved one day. Light up a blunt and pass it around for Biggie...R.I.P.

Welcome to "The Billionaire Chronicles" this is my first "blog" and i just want to let you know what will be going on. As soon as baseball season starts i will summarize how the cubs week went, by giving the record for the week and other stats, i will also be picking a weekly MVP a player who helped the cubs get a few wins with their outstanding defense, offense, or pitching ablitites. Be on the look out for the weekly "Cubs Report" every sunday night.

Also if you are into sneakers I will be posting a basketball sneaker from 90s at least once a week and giving stats so you can get familiar with the man/or men who made the shoe, and the history behind it. There will also be plenty posts about music, politics, and other randomness.

So get familiar with this site and hope you enjoy what read here, feel free to drop a comment.
