Sunday's were created for two things and two things only.....Football & Flea Markets. I've been going to Flea markets on Sunday morning's for as long as I can remember and its one of my favorite past times. This past Sunday it was off to the Rose Bowl with my mind of vintage and vintage on my mind. No more than 10 minutes into the day I spotted the all mighty clear case of the Nike Air Pressure's. From a distance I wasn't sure if it was just the case but as I got closer I could see the shoes inside. Much to my dismay when I opened the case both heels were cracked which is common for these because the weight of the pump system. The actual pump was also missing, however there was no cracking on the midsole which is always a plus. I asked how much, thinking they would say around $300 but I was pleasantly surprised when the she said $100. Now $100 isn't a super steal but its a decent price considering I've seen pairs in the same condition sell for upwards of $300. Of course I didn't pay $100 though, what fun would it be if you didn't haggle the price. I said $60, she said $90, I said $70, she said $80, I said $79 just so I could win and we had a deal. I'd say $79 for some Deadstock sz 11.5 Air Pressure's with carrying case is a pretty decent pickup, if not for anything more than display!!!!!

Swing the John McEnroe, rap rock'n'roll...


Yesterday I went to the Flea Market to see if I could find any buried treasures so to speak. After a couple hours of digging I had several trash bags full of dope gear and on my way to the car to call it a day I stumbled upon a pair of vintage kicks. I was crip walking down the isle, minding my own business when out of the corner of my eye I spotted something. It's A Bird... It's A Plane... It's Superman!!!!! Actually it was a pair of vintage 1985 Nike Mac Attacks!! *Legal Flashback* I was watching a pair on eBay last year in my size (NIB) that sold for $1,000 BIN!!!!!! I calmly walked over, picked up the shoes, looked at the inside sz/date code and much to my dismay they were a sz 8 which I stopped wearing in 6th grade! Even though they weren't my size they're still a classic sneaker and hold a decent value to them so I asked the guy how much he wanted. He replied "$60" and I replied "YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS". He looked at me like I was crazy but then I told him the story and offered him $40 which he quickly agreed to. Dear Nike, please retro these in original form sometime in the near future, thanks!

I got it for the LO...


...literally!!! Hit up the Flea Market today and scooped this bad boy for CHEAP!!!! My girl actually found it and said youre welcome......I said for what? She said finding this for you and pulled it from the rack! Its a sz Medium and in good condition, just needs a little dry cleaning. There's no better feeling than finding a gem buried in the mix!

I've got a Confession...

Some people go to Church on Sunday but my place of worship is the Flea Market. The vintage Gods always listen to my prayers and bless me with the dopest gear. It was raining all day yesterday and early this morning but when we arrived the clouds parted way and the sun shined down upon us! We found a bunch of dope vintage for everyone so swing by the store and check check check it out.......AMEN!

Flea Markets FInds...






I went to the Flea Market today and scooped up some vintage goodies....nothing crazy but some good stuff nonetheless. The first thing I found was 4 vintage Lakers t-shirt, brand new with tags made by Swingster. The shirt is real simple with just the Lakers logo on the front and nothing on the back but still a dope tee. The second thing I found was an oldschool drawstring Miami Hurricanes backpack and 2 vintage Hurricanes hats to match. I remember these style bags in like 8th grade but I never owned one at the time. The next pickup was just some more snapbacks.....a lot of the same ones I have in stock but you can never have too many!!! The last guy had a bunch of vintage random sports stuff and I found a couple cool old NBA pennants. The old Utah Jazz logo is classic, Stockton to Malone and the Vancouver Grizzlies were the shit, remember Bryant Reeves aka Big Country!!!!!! Right when I was about to leave I noticed a little rack of t-shirts and went over to check them out and to my surprise there were 4 sweet vintage tees: A 1986 Patriots Berry the Bears shirt, a 1986 Red Sox American league Champs ringer shirt and two of the same 1986 "The Possible Dream" Red Sox tees........all in great condition with the screen stars tags still intact.

Flea Market Finds...


Went to the Flea Market today to see if I could stumble across anything good. I picked up a pair of neon Baltoro's in my size for $10 which wasnt bad (great for the winter)! I also picked up couple vintage snapback & new era hats which I cant complain about. As I was leaving I saw a table with a bunch of FAKE Bape hoodies which is always a sight to see.
