Adidas: Something For The Ladies Pack August 22, 2007

I hope I can get my hands on just one of the three pair of sneakers below. Said to be released as a Pack, Adidas has introduced the “Something For The Ladies” pack. Featuring the massively chunk, awesomely bright Metro Attitude, the colourway is perfect. ( I have a nice wool Penguin sweater that would go real nice with the Metro Attitude Hi joints above Look @ me scheming already!)
All three shoes feature the unusual, bee hive like design of the hexagon shapes highlighted on different parts of each shoe. Whether you fancy the chunk of the Metro Attitude, the wafer-ness of the silver streak low or the old school flavour of the shell toe, there is something for all the ladies, whatever mood she’s in.
Over @ Sneaker Freaker, they said that the sneaker is great for the hot summer, but seeing as the Summer fell like the Fall, and the Summer will soon turn into the Fall, we must see past the cute outfits of the Heat & look to what we can pair these babies with for the Fall Season. There is no release date for the pack as of yet. When I find one I will post it. The Adidas Online Store has no mention of it as well, so this is sneaker connoissuer news and everyone @ this time will have the same thing… Just Pictures

Supa Star Shell Toe

Silver Streak Low

UPDATE:
Unfortunately, it looks like there is no online outlets to buy any of these kicks. Sometimes, certain retailers get new shipments, but it may be in a year or two. I say that because, the Adidas Grace Mid, in the pastel colorways was @ Urban Outfitters, but they sold out so freakin’ fast. Almost a year later Urban Outfitters had them again, and they sold a bit slower. So I say that to say, I will check every few months, because I check for kicks all the time, but if they are not available, I won’t post any updated information - which I think is fair.

Black August This Sunday 8.26.07 August 22, 2007

The 10th Annual Black August Hip Hop Project will be kicking off at a new venue this year. This Sunday @ The Nokia Theater, you can catch artists like
Mos Def
Twalib Kweli
Saigon
D Nice
Dead Prez
DJ Evil D
and more

I do not know what the venue will allow this event to be like. For the past 3 years or so Black August has been held at B.B. Kings. And the venue is usually sold out.

Black August: A celebration of Hip Hop and our Freedom Fighters is a project of the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement (MXGM), which strives to support the global development of Hip Hop culture by facilitating exchanges between international communities where Hip Hop is a vital part of youth culture, and by promoting awareness about the social and political issues that affect these youth communities. Our goal is to bring culture and politics together and to allow them to naturally evolve into a unique Hip Hop consciousness that informs our collective struggle for a more just, equitable and human world.

Since August of 1998, Black August has held sold-out benefit concerts in New York City, South Africa, and Cuba. In New York, Black August has been held at Tramp’s (1998) The Bowery Ballroom (1999), the New Age Cabaret (2000), Synod Hall (2001 and 2002), Brooklyn Café (2003) and B.B Kings (2004,5,6).

The tickets are $30 and still on sale at Ticketmaster. Click here to purchase. Or go to a Ticketmaster Outlet.

UPDATE: IF YOU CAN”T MAKE THE CONCERT, THERE WILL BE AN AFTERPARTY @ ARENA IN TIMES SQUARE. PEEP FLYER BELOW
