Nov 4, 2009 at 3:21 pm

Nov 4, 2009 at 12:24 pm
*FOAM BOOT=FAIL, *BLACK GRIFFEYS=WHY NOT BUY THE TEAL, MURDERED OUT=WIN *NOT INCLUDED
Nov 4, 2009 at 12:23 pm
I get a kick out of how the kiddies consider the all black look to be a new look…This dates to the 90s, maybe even earlier….Right around the time blacked out cars and trucks started becoming popular…Long before Rob Dyrdek ever “murdered out” his truck and long before Jay stopped rocking Jerseys…This dates back to the around the time when Meth was always caught wearing some sort of batting glove….The 80s babies will know what im talking about it…This is just a reacurring trend that died out once before and is trying to be brought back due to everybodys wearing bright ass colors lookin like they belong in Greenwich Village.
Nov 4, 2009 at 11:41 am
Z is rockin those RT1s. Even at like 40 he can still sagg those jeans even after he said im 30 + i dont wear jerseys
Nov 4, 2009 at 11:19 am
Sadface @ Jay being 40 and still sagging his jeans. This is why the youth is effed up. Older dudes still trying to dress and act young.
Nov 4, 2009 at 10:56 am
Man, What about the scuffproof all black timberlands. them joints are crazy. I can’t believe they didn’t make the list.
Nov 4, 2009 at 10:37 am
Jay z is on some next ish. some really dark and sketchy ish . and i anit buying it at all , why would he tell you to wear all black every thing, usually wearing all black symbolizes something bad , like you can wear all black , but this dude wears it all the mother freakin time. same with all his affiliates like Rhianna and even now Alica keys wearing all black all the time. something reals fishy with that whole roc nation movement , i personally think there on some real dark ish rii now and the devils channeling through jay z , imo
Nov 4, 2009 at 8:06 am
Poormans Yeezy? Any nicca with a sense of style will tell you the RT1 is an ill-ass shoe. Yeezys are for all you NEW sneaker geeks with deep pockets and a self complex…. i can rock some XJ900 and still get yer girl………SWAG
Nov 4, 2009 at 7:34 am
Foamdomebig failure to me sad to say a lotta bammas wear it my area DMV but this is a good article cuz i went to get some boots for the winter as well
Nov 4, 2009 at 5:14 am
daam you nicekicks, i was eatin my breakfast, lookin through a selection of all black kicks….. an you gotta put them foamdomes in make me feel sick an loose my appetite.
Nov 4, 2009 at 12:58 am
what about the louis?!?!
Nov 4, 2009 at 12:36 am
id probably only get the Spizike boots.. Cuz I need some boots, but that price tag is nasty
Nov 3, 2009 at 11:53 pm
the only sneakers id “consider” buying on this list is the Low Converse
^ THIS
Nov 3, 2009 at 11:38 pm
what about those ACRONYM x Dunk high AC & Blazer joints..I know theyre gonna be exclusive but dam..they deserve a mention
Nov 3, 2009 at 11:05 pm
PHUCK JAY-Z I WAS ROCKING ALL BLACK FROM NOV05-NOV06 WHEN MY GRANDADDY DIED AND ID LIKE TO GIVE HONORABLE MENTION TO THE BLACKOUT 1/2 CENTS. I JUST HATE BLACK ON BLACK KIX BECAUSE SOME1 HAS TO BE UP ONE YOU TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE WEARING. IF I WAS 100 FEET AWAY AND HAD ON SOME SOLID BLACK XX3 JORDANS HOW WOOULD YOU KNOW.
IF YOU BLACK OUT A SHOE ATLEAST USE A DARK SHADE OF 3M REFLECTIVE MATERIAL SOMEONE ON THE KIX AND I REMEMBER WHEN I COULDNT GET THE BRED XIIS IN 9TH GRADE I HAD THE WHITE/BLACKS DIED ALL BLACK AND I CRUSHED THEM AND EVERYONE WITH THE BREDS WANTED TO TRADE WITH ME BUT I WAS LIKE NAAAAAH (TRUE STORIES)
Nov 3, 2009 at 11:03 pm
you people are confused, this is a list of sneakers/boots that have dropped/about to drop recently. Pay attention to the purpose of the post instead of just flipping through the pictures for christ sake.
Nov 3, 2009 at 10:27 pm
the all black griffeys are alreadu available at a footaction that i go to in NY. so i coped mine like 2 weeks ago.
Nov 3, 2009 at 9:32 pm
man i want those all black griffeys but , ill just wait until black friday
Nov 3, 2009 at 9:08 pm
and how are you not going to have the hoods number 1 jordan “black cat 3’s” everyone in the hood got those , those have to be mentined in the all black
Nov 3, 2009 at 9:07 pm
Im sorry this list sucks , how are you not going to mention all black air forces?
the only sneakers id “consider” buying on this list is the Low Converse (if i really wanted beaters)
and the Ken Griffeys the rest is Garbage , The melo’s for basketball but i wouldnt buy them
Nov 3, 2009 at 7:57 pm
in the rihanna umbrella video, jay was wearing pierre hardy sneakers not supra’s…step ur sneaker game up!
Nov 3, 2009 at 7:56 pm
Did anybody notice that those all black Bapes>$200? GTFOH! I was never a Bape fan (sneakerwise) so I can care less. The all black everything look is way too boring for me btw. I don’t agree with loud crazy colours either but all black is lame. Regardless to who say it.
Nov 3, 2009 at 7:40 pm
them Spizike Boots is heavy as heaven. I need them for the winter for sure
Nov 3, 2009 at 6:51 pm
Rt1 poormans yeezy
Nov 3, 2009 at 6:36 pm
I personally don’t like wearing all black but Jay-Z looks good in that BBC shirt. I agree with some of the other comments, should have had all black AF1’s and Black Cat 3’s and 4’s. Other than that this is a pretty good list.
Nov 3, 2009 at 6:13 pm
I would prefer all black air force 1’s, aint nothin wrong with some all black uptowns. Those are the only sneakers that look good in all black to me.
Nov 3, 2009 at 5:42 pm
Not a fan off all black but 1/2cents should be on here and foamposite
Nov 3, 2009 at 5:26 pm
Those werent Supra in the Rihanna video is was some Diors i think
Nov 3, 2009 at 4:57 pm
RT1> Trash Yeezy (imo)
Nov 3, 2009 at 4:53 pm
Yeah, but I continue calling the RT1 “Poorman’s Yeezy” though xP
Nov 3, 2009 at 4:46 pm
Not a fan of ALL black everything. I at least need a colored trim to tie the shoe into whatever else I’m wearing, and you gotta be up real close to make out details on all black kicks.
Nov 3, 2009 at 4:41 pm
shoulda put the all black half cent on here
they go hard
Nov 3, 2009 at 4:38 pm
if you decided to wear all black just because Jay Z is doing it, dig a hole & let the dirt be your blanket…
Nov 3, 2009 at 4:28 pm
I hve black cat 4s, goadomes, gore-tex AF1 high blk/taxi and a bunch of bred kicks
Nov 3, 2009 at 4:24 pm
the black m6’s….so fuggin sexy. I see them in my future.
Nov 3, 2009 at 4:22 pm
People still gon say it’s plain though. I love all black though.
Nov 3, 2009 at 4:22 pm
Nice list but i would added others such as the all black Lebron VII, one of the many black on black AF1s, or any of the all blacks from the Air Max series, or the black on black Air Jordan 3 or AJ4, or even the all black Penny II Retros..
