Yesterday, we made a snide comment that “The Mayor” is probably a drug dealer. We should have been more specific: He is is the Nike Design Team’s drug dealer. Hahahaha. Look at all of this shit! Taste isn’t the first word that comes to mind, but man the dude has a lot of AF1s. [The Shoe Game]

Sneaker News just posted a grip of new Bespoke Air Force 1s by “The Mayor”. Just to kind of bring you in on this: Bespoke Air Force 1s are made by appointment at Nike Sportswear’s 21 Mercer St. flagship in New York City, and they cost $800. This dude has done at least five and goes by “The Mayor.” Drug Dealer? We think so. [Sneaker News]

Ding-dong: BS alert. We’re big fans of Supra over here at the BLVD but we’re a little too sharp to fall for the digital propaganda it’s pushing over at its website. The Cali-based skate brand posted this new colorway of this Skytop and made it a point to include that the sneaker was “limited and currently available at Zumiez.”

Limited anndddd at Zumiez? Oxymoron. According to wikipedia (the end-all-be-all for fact checking) there are over 300 Zumiez stores in 25 different states. That’s a lot of shelves, homies. We’re guessing you can find these pretty easily, but if you’re nervous you might miss out, run for the malls tomorrow.

Every streetwear brand doing a flannel is one thing, but when a big company tries to rip off the greatest skate shoe of all time, it needs to understand that there’s going to be backlash. Come on guys! DC Shoes just posted its Spring 2009 line-up on dcshoes.com and we couldn’t help but be alarmed by the similarities between the Smith 2.0 S model and Vans’ iconic Half Cab silhouette. Did someone from Vans defect? Were they “inspired” by the Half-Cab? Maybe none of the above, maybe all of the above, but if you thought no one was going to notice, you were mistaken. We’re always on patrol like Ricky Ross.
