ALife must be out to destroy me , I’m convinced. I was just saying I’m cool…my bank account can chill because there aren’t any sneakers out there that I’m geeked for (except for the Jordan VIII’s, but that’s not until 9/22), but then I see these, and the black colorway, which is vicious as well. I’m already havin’ visionz, crazy visionz son, about how I can freak ‘em with different laces and what not. But ya boy got expenses, so I can’t do it! Damn you ALife!

If any of you, however, would like to give your savings a smackdown, they drop this Saturday August 18th and will feature “a custom woven label on the tongue, four different fluorescent patent leather stripes, custom footbeds and 10 pairs of laces – 5 thin and 5 thick.” Only 10 stores will carry ‘em, including the ALife flagship in NY, which is practically next door to us (and, of course, only adds to my general feeling of being mocked by the universe). Check out details for the locations and more pics here.
