UPDATE: THIS STORY APPEARS TO BE A HOAX. WE’LL LET YOU KNOW MORE AS WE GET MORE INFO.

The more I think that times have changed, the more I am made aware that some things never change. I wonder how Michael Jordan first learned to cope with the fact teens in the inner city were being slain for a pair of his sneakers that really cost nothing to make. If I could, I’d talk to MJ and ask “How come they just don’t make enough? People will still buy them, Mike! It’s not as if you’re going to have to go back to the drawing board and figure out a brand new marketing plan. Just make the shoe and it’ll sell itself.”

What’s even crazier is that people aren’t starting riots and making a scene because they’re too expensive. There just isn’t enough to go around. This has been the case for years.

I’m assuming the 17-year old Tyreek Amir Jacobs from Washington DC got his early. He was pronounced dead over Facebook and Twitter yesterday. A fan page was created and has 6,000+ likes already. The story grew with the help of a bunch of tweets from DC residents and Jordan fanatics. Now the excitement and buzz around the infamous Concord XI sneaker will be overshadowed by the uproar from a community that is disgusted by the shoe fetish that has cost a young man his life. This isn’t a new story but an all too familiar one. #BreakTheCycle

N****Z in Cali, #ThatSh!!!Cray

I wonder if Jay-Z has ever been called a nigga in Paris. Or if Martin Margiela referred to Kanye as a nigga, would he still associate himself with that brand? I came across some young people in Cali that weren’t letting the N-Word slide at all when verbally assaulted at the Super Uno Market on the corner of Vernon and Van Ness. They didn’t even resort to violence, which is something that we don’t hear enough of.
