“You chop the head, the body fall. Basically, that’s what happened with Roc-A-Fella.”

I got a sneak peek of these in person and they are hard body. Inspired by the black/cement IV’s, but taking specific design cues from the III’s and VI’s…just a damn problem, especially in the always-approved colorway highlighted by red accents. Slated to hit stores in February.

I tried Twitter for a sustained period but had to give up and have taken my seat back on the sidelines with Ms. Weber. It looks like Sheed went in with high hopes, as did I, only to discover the inevitable. It’s too fast, too much going on, too time consuming as if I don’t have enough...
