Take one look at my quiver, and you’ll know I’m into hoops. Roughly approximating, I’d say 90% of current kicks are meant for the combative forces of the pound cake. But as I’ve delved deeper into footwear design, I have unescapably acquired new tastes, ranging anywhere from running to hiking footwear. In particular, I’m really inclined to sailing and nautical footwear. Not that I’ve ever been on a boat for an extended period of time, or would now how to operate one, but Neptunian butters are undeniably sleek.
I recently spotted the Puma Decker on Niketalk’s very own Ty, who doubles up as DonJuan513. I don’t know much about the shoe currently, but the leather upper looks buttery smooth, and the moccasin-esque toecap has piqued my interests…

those shoes are fly. Makes you want to put on a sailors hat, grab a pipe and hop aboard a schooner

Glad you guys are feeling them too!
Bob, thanks a bunch big brother! You know I’m loving it and definitely appreciate it, but I can’t wait to see the look on my mom’s face when she sees the name in the mag, associated in-print with the illest playground hoops magazine!
Didn’t think those letters would take me this far,I’m forever appreciative of the chance you gave me to rock the online.
Peace!
