I am a big fan of the Converse Chuck 70s. Think of it as the Nike Dunk SB. It builds on the regular iconic Chuck Taylors but with padding! If a shoe can give you style and comfort, it’s a winner in my book. Being able to go about your day and task while looking flee at the same time is a sublime feeling. Offspring is a British footwear company
Here at Yellow Vino, we celebrate people, groups, or companies that positively elevate their discipline. I am a big fan of creativity and art that gives the consumer satisfaction on an intellectual and spiritual level. Why consume bad media? Would you routinely feed your body junk food?

I remember when I saw pictures of this shoe last summer with a release date on September 26th, that it was a must-have. The sneaker is an OG silhouette that is in my sneaker canon (we will get to this in a later post) with a solid classic white colorway that dominates the shoe with a yellow sole from the factory.

A brief history for the folks not from NYC, but we refer to the
Growing up I lived in a 4 family house in Jackson Heights on the corner of 77 street and Roosevelt Avenue in Jackson Heights. I did feel as if I was living in a 90s sitcom. There was just so much going on with all the families in each floor. Space was tight and you can hear the dialogue within each family courtesy of the thin walls. Our unit was at
PREFACE I was actually shopping to buy Dapper Dan’s memoir, but a cookie recommendation from Amazon suggested I would also be interested in Bobby Hundred’s book. I thought that the book had been out sometime, but it turned out it just released. The timing could have not been better. I purchased the books together on a Sunday night.
