BITE THIS -- SWIZZ BEATS GRAPE JUICE

12/09/2010


Get your lean on in these Grape Juice sneaks that will hit the streets in 2011. Images surfaced months ago about Reebok's new collaboration with Producer/Rapper Swizz Beats and now we have a colorway that will definitely hit retail. Swizzy tweeted a pic of the shoe earlier today and let his fans know they will be ready to rock in the New Year.

Phony Sharkskins says these are legit, so it's ok to bite when they drop at your local retail store.

We enforce flyness at Capital Kicks, so the Top-Flight Enforcers better not find any 'Sour Grapes' roaming the streets next year!

REALLY, GILBERT ARENAS?!? HIGH FASHION HOOPS

12/08/2010

Hoops and high fashion made a rare appearance on the court at the Wizards vs. Lakers game. Gilbert Arenas has been spotted rocking all types of kicks this season including the Jordan Retro IX, X, XI LE, CMFT Max 12 and more. Gilbert no longer has a contract with Adidas, so we can only assume his on-court kicks are courtesy of his personal collection.

Gilbert wanted to hoop in style during the Wizards' recent trip to Los Angeles to take on the Lakers. The former Agent Zero rocked a pair of high top luxury sneakers from Dolce & Gabbana. Really?!? These casual D&G shoes are made for styling in the streets, not playing basketball. Oh, did we mention that the shoes retail for over $400? Must be nice, but not sure how comfortable.

Regardless of what you rock, make sure they're authentic.

If people still don't like it, tell them to BITE THIS!

BITE THIS -- U.S. PUTS FAKES ON I.C.E.

11/30/2010


The government is finally doing something that makes us feel secure. No, we're not talking about the war on terrorism, but the war against counterfeit goods. The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a division of the Department of Homeland Security, recently seized a number of sites that host illegal file-sharing, counterfeit clothes, shoes, DVD's, and more. All domains under investigation now have this image above on their site.

Earlier this year, Nike filed lawsuits against over 60 domains that were selling fake Nike products. 2010 has been a bad year for fake shoe sellers and people are finally taking notice to this epidemic. The Top-Flight Enforcers have been on this mission for many years now, so we're glad the governement has decided to BITE THIS and join the fight against fakes!
