Look at how I'm chillin', I'm killing this ice...

Lead my team to 60 wins like my man Pat Ewing...

Vintage 1985 Ewing Hoyas Sand Knit jersey with some deadstock Ewing Boomer Mids to set it off. I've worn a lot of different Ewings over the years and this is the ONLY pair that hasn't cracked on me......built NEXT tough!

It's 2010 and you payin' Patrick Ewing.....last time I paid that number I was wearin Patrick Ewing's - Jeezy

Eastbay was kinda like the original Hypebeast if you will, the sneaker source before the internet. In the 90's there were no blogs or websites to go on and see the newest kicks coming out, either you had a friend working at Foot Locker with inside info or you waited for the Eastbay catalog to come in the mail. I remember flipping threw them for hours just circling all the sneakers I wanted and leaving where my parents would see, hoping they would get the hint. I actually kept a lot of them through the years (along with my Playboy's) but threw them out when I moved out of my parents after highschool. I still have about 12 deadstock pairs of Ewing's in stock and one of them is the Navy Boomer Mid's in the lower right corner. Above is the actual Catalog from 1993 featuring 9 different styles of the all mighty Ewing's......which pair did you have, or want???

Hoya Destroya...

As Seen On...

Rev Run rocking a vintage Adidas Ewing sweatshirt on a 1986 My Adidas tour poster. We have a sz Lrg in stock at the store for anyone who wants to get down with the king!! I wonder if Patrick Ewing saved any of his Adidas gear as like a momento??

Crack Kills Volume 8...

Its been awhile since my last relapse but last week I was feenin, so I had to break out some vintage kicks! I started off the week UNDS'ing a pair of 1984 Vandals which was a little nerve racking but they held up nicely with no sign of damage. Fast forward 5 days and the story line is bit different. I woke up in the morning craving a fix, so I went to my closet to grab a pair of vintage kicks. After some debate I felt like getting my Hoya Destroya on and went with some vintage Ewing Eclipse Hi's by Next Sports.........which I thought was a good idea at the time. My brillant plan turned into a nightmare hours later when I was at work and the sole almost fell off the shoe.
I dropped to my knees and asked GOD "Why? How could this happen and what did I do to deserve this??"
He said "Son you have played with fire (fire is a synonym for wearing vintage sneakers, get it) too many times so I have to teach you a lesson!"
I said "but Lord I like wearing vintage sneakers, what good are they if you cant wear them?"
He said "I understand your pain, I love wearing vintage sneakers too!"
I said "We're on the same page Lord, why would you let these fall apart on me if I only wore them to bring joy."
He said "Son you needed a new blog post so I was there to help you!"
I said "Why couldnt have given me another idea instead of ruining my sneakers?"
He said "No, it was time for a Crack Kills post"
I said "I guess you're right, thanks again!"
He Said "Anytime, Peace!"

A Closer Look...

We have the biggest selection of vintage Ewings in the world....or at least I think we do. The ones above are called the Boomer Mids in the White/Indigo colorway. These bad boys can be worn without any fear of cracking and I can attest to that. I have a pair that I've worn a handful of times and we sold a pair to a customer a couple months back and I think he's worn them everyday since. The silhouette is a classic mid cut basketball shoe with a mix of suede and leather upper. The tongue and side have Ewing embroidery and the back features the #33 stitched above the embossed EWING on the back midsole. The shoes are brand new in box w/tissue paper and hang tags/mini basketball included. Rumors of the company being resurrected have been floating around the Internet for a while now but I think its just a hoax, but who knows. In the meantime you can cop a pair of OG's from us.

Throwback Video...

1991 Gang Starr video with so much vintage heat including Premo in a Brooklyn Dodgers starter jacket, too many snapbacks to name and even a slow motion shot of some OG Ewings at 37 seconds.

Posterized, literally...

Ewing was the poster boy for getting Posterized!

A Closer Look...

Does anybody know how many different styles of Ewings were produced?? I would love to know because I swear I've seen over 10 different styles and I know there's more out there. Above is a pair of the vintage Ewing Sport-Lite's that we have in stock and the Teal/Yellow/Purple colorway is crazy! I sold a coupe pairs earlier this year and I still have some pairs left (7, 7.5, 11, 11.5, 12 & 13) so swing buy the store or email me if you're interested! FYI In 1991 Next Sports Inc. signed a multi-year sublicense to sell and distribute Patrick Ewing shoes, clothing and accessories in the U.S., its territories and Canada.

With the Hat to Match...

I posted the Ewing fitted hats last week and I just realized that the red one matches the vintage Ewings I have. I dont know about you but I think this combo is one of the best I've ever posted!! P.S Select vintage sneakers will be available in-store soon :-)

Hoya Destroya...

Some of you might have seen these before but some of havent, so I thought I'd share some pics. Above are a couple vintage Patrick Ewing fitted hats made by Next Sports Inc which was the company who also created Ewings line of signature sneakers. The hat is full leather and although its a fitted cap it features and adjustable strap on the back which allows you to loosen or tighten the hat to your liking. I'm not sure exactly how many colorways were made but we have 3 in stock: Tan, Red and Black (not pictured). If youre looking for an oldschool fitted that you probably wont see anyone else rockin than these might be your best bet!

Patrick Chewing...

I just saw this commercial and thought it was hilarious!!

Sic Pic...

Just a couple cool close up pics of Ewing on court wearing his signature sneaker in the knicks colorway!!

As Seen On...

Kriss Kross always had on the starter gear back in the day and they also rocked Ewings!! On the cover of their totally crossed out cd one of them is wearing the Ewings above.....Im not sure if its Daddy Mac or Mac Daddy, hahahaha. They also have on a Knicks & Yankees starter jersey and what looks to be a Pistons sports specialties hat. Dont act like you didnt like Jump Jump, lolololol.
