Sneakerheads, break those piggy banks and empty out those wallets because this weekend Nike is going to launch seven different kicks. No Jordans in the lineup this weekend, but I’m sure one of these will put a smile on your face.
First up we have the Nike Air Foamposite One Pro (Electric Green/Black) a never before seen color way on the Foamposites. These will drop Saturday March 5th and retail for $190.
Then, gear up for March Madness with four different color ways of the Kobe VIs. There’s the “China” (MTLC/Pewter/White-Crimson $130), “Glass Blue”(Dark Grey/Vibrant Yellow-Glass Blue-Total Orange $130), “Duke” (Varsity Royal/White-Black $130). And then there’s the “Rice” (Moss Green/Green Apple-Black) color way, the only one out of the four that is going to retail at $150 – made exclusively for Harlem’s Rice High School, these are sure to sellout within seconds of releasing.
Finally Nike will release three new color ways of the Lebron 8’s. Without a doubt, out of all seven sneakers releasing this weekend, the Entourage Lebrons (Photo Blue/Black/Tour Yellow) are the most anticipated, releasing Friday March 4th with a price tag of $160. Also releasing March 4th is the Nike Lebron 8 “Summit Lake Hornets” (Neutral Grey/Orion Blue-Cool Grey) and “Yankees” (Midnight Navy/White-Metallic Silver) both will retail at $160.

This week in sneaker releases
Nike “Questlove” Drop
With a unique, never-done-before design, the Nike Dunk Hi gets a slight makeover with the Red pair featuring an overlay that conceals the laces for a cleaner look complete with white buttons and the classic premium Nike leather. The yellow pair has the regular Nike Dunk Hi design but with a slight modification – it borrows its Swoosh sign from the Nike Blazer, providing a larger bold check. The last Dunk is a classy all black shoe, which he describes, “if rocked right, you could even wear them with a suit, and the all black version is perfect for that.”
And of course, all three kicks feature Questlove’s signature silhouette of himself that was featured on his first Nike collaboration as well.

New and Exclusive!!!
Never heard of Private Stock, but they’re supposedly a new company. They dropped these off at Shoe Gallery and I think they still have a few left. As of Saturday afternoon, they were in stock at Shoe Gallery and well, that black one is on my radar so I suggest you beat me to it because next time I’m in Downtown I’m gonna try and cop it. If anyone has a website link or more info on Private Stock, hit me up.

Lupe Fiasco Thought About Committing Suicide While Making His Latest Album "To Keep From Killing Someone Else"
The project was once rejected by his label Atlantic, he tried getting released from the label, fans organized a rally/boycott to get the album put out, now finally, on March 8, it will see the light of day.
There are still some battle scars left on the Chicago rapper, even if you can't see them.
In a recent interview with Details, Lupe talks about contemplating suicide while trying to get this album out. He even raps about it on the song "Beautiful Lasers."
"If you feel like you don't want to be alive, you feel just like I am," he raps.
A lot of his frustration stemmed from the fact Atlantic wanted him him to be something he's not. Trying to force poppy, syrupy records that might be fine for other artists but not Lupe down his throat.
"The creation of Lasers was a very painful, dark, f*cked-up process," he says. Adding that he definitely thought about suicide if only to prevent himself from "from killing somebody else,"
Creatively, Lupe knows his limits and what he's capable of musically even after Atlantic rejected his album initially for not being pop enough, he stayed on course.
"I don't know how to do what Kanye does," he says "I don't have that Midas touch."
He does however have the ability to make great songs that his fans enjoy.

Wale confirms his signing to Maybach Music Group
It took about two months to finally get confirmation, but Wale has officially signed with Rick Ross and them. However, Wale is still associated with Roc Nation on the management side, that partnership remains unaffected by this new signing. It should be an interesting couple of months to see and how and what comes about from Wale’s new 305 supported system.
