I'm Coming Home Again...

When I first moved to the Atlanta area in '99 (actually, when my parents moved me down here), I never thought I would find another pair of Uptowns ever again. But in all honesty, we lived way out in the Boonies so once I met Jarvis in 2000, I was ridiculously enamored with the fact that he lived down the street from South DeKalb Mall. Every time I drove the 45 minute trip to see him, I'd snatch him up and head to the mall. I hadn't seen the culture that we had back home at all until we started going there. And as my time here in the A has lengthened I've been introduced to so many different neighborhoods and so many different styles-it's incredible.






Anyways, so I revisited South DeKalb yesterday with Keiko and I've gotta tell you, the fall releases are definitely bringing that heat. Sometimes it's cool to just go to the mall, you don't always have to hit the boutiques! One thing that I am crazy grateful for is that they've got a Jimmy Jazz down there. The first time I saw it, when it first opened maybe about 2 years ago, I damn near fell out. Jimmy Jazz is an NY tradition (see pic)! The only one in GA is at that mall!
Jimmy was holding these Lumberjack Creative Recreations (around $95) which I looked at and immediately thought of going to Wish and copping this MOB shirt ($40).
They also had my Beef and Broccoli Tims (throwbacks, but necessary!) on sale!! Huh? They wouldn't even get to the sale rack back home, lucky for me right?






Okay, I'm late with this, but I don't care. The Jordan Six Rings, I love. And I want. Even if by "internet info" they're old as dirt. I need 'em.





One of the corner shops in the mall, Jarman, had that fire too. They had my Top Ten Adidas, that I've been effing pining for (around $75).




Champs had the Croc check Blazers that I've been considering ($120, I believe).



Foot Action had the Nike Glow in the Dark Halloween Pack, solely for women and kids (upwards of $70). Look closely. You get it? Bats on the Black and Orange. Black Cats on the Black and Pink.
Fame had the Jumpmans that came out in '97. Was thinking about copping a pair for Keiko as well as one for myself, for nostalgic reasons. In '97 I was the first sophmore with the black and white pair (out on Dec. 1st), leaving everyone else with the Super Crunchee face. LOL.


Finish Line had the retro Pennys. Remember the commercials with Bobble Head Penny? LOL. Memories. I never had these and always wanted 'em (upwards of $100).


And lastly, I didn't see these at the mall but they are sooo effin' fierce. Created for the spirited female hip-hop dancer or breaker, these shoes are built to last especially after an intense performance. I just think they're fly and futuristic as fuck! Nikey Troops!
