LONG WEEKEND

Hours away from calling it a weekend, I suddenly had a hankering for anything NBA. So, I popped these on and had a marathon:

I'm on GAME 2 right now of the finals as I blog this. SMH at all Ray Ray's treys. (  >  .  <  )

Oh yeah! Have y'all copped yourself a copy of @SLAMonlineph's KICKS? Real nice, I must say! Local hoop content is dope! And of course, KingCrux31's article!

Go out and get both covers! Traffic is light, so no excuses. Available now at quality bookstores and at @Titan_22!

TOP-TIER SCORER

 

There's something inherently bad-ass about being called a "TOP-TIER PLAYER". 'F yeah!

The Durantula should know... He got the title!

NIKE ZOOM KD III "Scoring Title". Thank you again, Titan!

HISTORY 101

I got my KICKS PH issue last night, and the content was nothing short of dope. This article though, on page 28-29, stood out...

NikeTalk mod, sneaker enthusiast, all-around bad ass and good friend Jojo (#NT KingCrux31) takes us on a field trip, documenting how our local sneaker scene came about. It's cool how he tells every 'heads story through his own. A piece on how far we've come as a movement, and how much more we can accomplish.

I won't go further into detail, but I am telling you: This is some compelling read! After finishing the article, I congratulated him thru twitter. Kind words were exchanged and he closed his tweet... "I feel that 1000 words ain't enough. I say wait for my book." LOL!

Well, 'till that book gets published, you can grab yourself a copy of KICKS PH on quality newsstands nationwide and in TITAN. Available now.

SINCE 'KRUX.

KICKS ON MY FEET KEEP MY GAME COMPLETE

Real students of the game know that, in order to win, the mind needs to be focused and the body at peak condition. Needless to say, what you wear on your feet is also an integral part of victory. It needs to represent what you're set to do - on and off the court.

The great folks at SLAM PH unveils the local version of the ultimate guide to basketball footwear: KICKS.

KICKS PH sets things off with a special 2-cover issue featuring two of the most lethal backcourt assassins in the game, The Tatted One Monta Ellis and Ragin' Rajon Rondo.

KICKS PH will retail for Php 200.00, so that's Php 400.00 for both. Which cover would you take home? I suggest you get 'em both! These won't sit long on magazine shelves... I shit you not.

Step your foot game up and cop KICKS PH. Available on quality newsstands and in TITAN this weekend.

LEBRON 8 FINALS PE x MIAMI NIGHTS RELEASE RECAP

Friday - at the threshold of a well deserved weekend: A couple of LeBron joints dropped that night at Titan Fort (Finals PE and Miami Nights). The store was packed! What can I say, the King still got loyal followers. Night was so dope, Tony Montana would've buried his face in it!

Mad props to our fam at Titan! Good event, good drops, with good people... It was a good friday indeed!

THE BACH MOBILE.

CHALLENGE: Transform a $300,000.00 luxury car into a cult phenomenon... What would HOVA do?

Y'all seen the video, y'all seen the Maybach in question... Now I have here up-close and (semi) detailed photos of the "BACH MOBILE" which will be auctioned off to benefit the victims of the East African Drought Disaster.

Personally, if I had the cash to BMF, I'd BIN. It's just that I won't park this next to my Dad's Benz...  He'd be so pissed, I'll never hear the end of it. LOL

A rolling piece of modern art or an atrocity to a fine automobile? Thoughts? Photos after the jump!

UNIVERSITY AVE. SUPREMACY

From philstar.com:

"August 9. 2011. MANILA, Philippines - Rampaging De La Salle-Zobel waylaid National University, 69-49, to sweep the UAAP Season 74 juniors basketball first round hostilities yesterday at the Blue Eagle gym.

Axel Torres punctured in 14 points along with eight rebounds and three steals as the Junior Archers sustained their fiery charge, heralding their serious bid to stop the four-peat campaign of Ateneo this season. 

Gabby Reyes added 14 markers and Renzo Subido made nine points and grabbed four rebounds for DLS-Z, which is looking to capture its first diadem since Simon Atkins and his crew brought the crown to their Alabang campus in 2007.

The Junior Archers ripped the game apart with a third-quarter assault that pushed them unassailably ahead at 47-27 to beat the Bullpups (4-3), who were led by Ralph Atangan’s 15 points, seven rebounds and three assists and Paul Baliton’s 12."

Yessir! Go Zobel!

Animo La Salle!

ANY GIVEN SUNDAY, VOL. 2

"For the record, these are not mixtapes, not EP’s either. I wake up on Sunday’s and I decide what songs I want to let out or rerelease for yall. You’ve been so patient for 2 YEARS! I think you deserve some insight and unreleased music.

1. Bring Em’ In - Made this in ATL during the “single hunt” phase. Even though it wasn’t a single and won’t make the album, I love this shit!

2. Roll Call - Just some real shit. Venting.

3. Be Freestyle - “Put on for my city like my favorite jacket… “man, you gon’ where that every got damn night??”.. “know what I paid for this shit?? bitch, you got damn right!!!"

-- J. Cole

A little something to tide us OG Dreamvillains over till 09.27.11! Round 2 of J. Cole's ANY GIVEN SUNDAY series.

YEAR ONE.

Titan opened it's doors a year ago, and since then it has inspired countless kids to ball better, to look fresh, and to be well groomed. Some may call it "The Home Of Sneakerheads", which is not a fair, nor complete assessment of the establishment. It's more than that.

I call them family.

Hoop dreams come alive in this place. A country club for like-minded individuals. The headquarters of basketball glory. For some, Titan provides an escape from PMS-ing girlfriends... Or a place to spiffen up before a hot date. For a few, the starting point of a revolution... and for many, a place of reward - the last stop at the end of a long, victorious day.

Last Friday people flocked the Titan flagship at The Fort to celebrate it's first birthday. Everyone was there: From the regular joe, to industry people in the know. From media personalities, to hardcourt ballers and professional athletes. Even SBTG graced the dope event with his presence, which meant art scene folk were also in attendance.

The event gave off a house party vibe (reminiscent of the ones we have in the south), but the energy was electric. Anxious urbanites loosened up immediately upon entering the party. With models and bottles 'round, who wouldn't be?

Our fam at UNSCHLD also brought their good stuff over! You folks should not sleep on their DVT apparel... Heard it's extremely limited. I got myself a hoodie, which I am absolutely happy with. Congrats yo!

Amazing food and drinks were provided by Titan's next door neighbor Bugsy's! Every bit was delish, too bad we missed the burgers... We'll be back for that!

Good music was not on short supply either! Mars Miranda, MikeCons, DJ Switchtrik and BigBoy provided party life music the entire night! Salutes to you guys!

For Titan, and for yours truly, this was another night to truly realize just how blessed we are. I pride myself in being an individual, but still thankful that I'm part of this movement, this revolution that Titan has taken upon itself to push on. I am truly grateful that I'm in this culture with them.

So congratulations to the entire Titan fam, year one is in the books! And we're on to the next!

2PM. wL RONAC. You've been informed.

THIS IS SOME WWE SH... /// KD AT THE RUCKER

This can't be real... 66 points? AT RUCKER PARK??? C'mon son. SCRIPTED!
LOL I'm playing! Don't get it twisted, Kevin Durant sure has the firepower to do that and more. Check the viral!





But waaaay before KD, a young superstar by the name of Kobe Bryant also tore it up the legendary playground... In his uptowns. I see what you did there, KB!

ALL wL DO IS WIN /// weLEGENDARY 3RD ANNIV SALE RECAP

For a blog that is deeply influenced by basketball, LOCKER ROOM LEGENDS' very first entry, ironically, was about a skate shoe. It was a pair of Brown Rattan Janoskis that was given to me by Nike Ph and weLEGENDARY as prize in NikeTalk's 11th Anniversary raffle (see LOVE AT FIRST SKATE).

In a lot of ways, weLEGENDARY has helped shape the way I enjoy shoes and it has expanded my taste in footwear. I used to be adamant about not wearing skate shoes - really because I don't skate. My SB knowledge is next to zero, and I'm afraid I might make myself look like a clown by rockin' it the wrong way. I might not do the culture any justice by wearing a chill pair my way.

But wL made me go against myself. Not by force, mind you... Rather they started dismantling my conviction and philosophy with their warm and kind vibe. like, "It's okay, buddy. We like to rock our joints the same way you do: 'I DON'T GIVE A F#CK' style".

When I won that raffle, I trusted Jojo to pick me a good pair for my prize. Being honest about not knowing a thing about SBs, he nodded and assured me he got me covered. Boom! A week later, he got me the Janoskis. I'm not sure about the other winners, but I never considered selling that pair out of respect. It sat on top of my shelf for a month, then I rocked it. The game has never been the same since.

First time I ever set foot inside wL RONAC, Moy made me feel at home, chatted a bit about fitteds and snapbacks.

Went to Davao a few months back, and Mark was kind enough to tweet me good places to see and good food to eat... So I returned the favor and visited wL MTS where Killian welcomed me with Davao's trademark fam vibe.

weLegendary, in some way, has done the same for you... One way or another, they've made you feel like YOU're part of the team. Something positive... Something powerful.

No wonder they got THAT much love. Happy, excited customers 2 floors deep!

3 years is not a long time. And for them to gather that much love that fast says a lot about the store, the people behind it, and the folks who support the culture. So with that, I raise my henny cup to weLEGENDARY...

Thank you!

Ok, I might have overcompensated my lack of documentation with that long ass write up. LOL! Here, check out what happened last saturday! Congrats again, wL! On to the pics!
