James Dean & Jack Purcell


Got my first pair of these in the mid-nineties when they were very hard to find. This one mom and pop sneaker store on Bleecker had them and I got blue canvas ones. That store closed (check Ricky Powell's edition of Frank 151 for a photo of that store) and I wore those out years ago. When Converse finally starting producing more in more styles I acquired a pair of black leather slip-on loafers (had to settle for a size too small) and suede camo slip-ons.

Afrika Bambaataa at Good Units



The Legend working hard from his Mac! Times have changed... Last year I was appalled at his selections but this time he stuck with the goodies even dropping "Lost My Sonia" by Cocoa Tea. Was gonna scoop this piece up while Marco was in the deli but he's still quick on his feet.

Santa came a little early this year and brought the heat!




Musta been a good boy this year Santa blessed me with these...
