HOW QUICK WE FORGET

HOW QUICK WE FORGET

Today I was tracking a package for new WELÇOME© gear (oh yes #SAYURWLCM, the new collection, by WELÇOME©: HAND DRAWN GRAPHICS coming soon) and I clicked the link in my messages to track the package.

so many features and specs, boy I don’t know where to start

so many features and specs, boy I don’t know where to start

When I click the link I thought to myself “man how amazing is it that I can actually do this, I forgot how big of a deal this is”, which made me think about how quick we forget the coolness of things.

First, we can start by actually having a touch screen phone. Remember clicking one button for five different letters. Then T-9 came in play but you had to take a training course at Yale to master that lol.

Next, what about actually having the internet on our phone. Ever browsed the web on a flip phone? I did, and it was a complete waste of time. You can’t do anything on the flip phone internet browser. Think about someone from 99’ seeing you type in websites on your phone and watch full movies, their head would explode.

I’m still amazed at the XBOX ONE and PS4. Those are considered current-men games but I still look at them as next-gen games. However, pretty soon the PS5 is releasing and I’m not ready for that. I still don’t even have any video game system now lol.

look how amazing these graphics are 🔥, kids in the 80s heart would stop looking at this!

Leaps in human history have been so amazing but cool eventually get normal and we are left unimpressed. When things become the norm we shouldn’t be so quick to complain about lack of innovation. Instead, we should appreciate the current state of technology and respectfully encourage the big tech companies to expound further upon the great strides that they’ve already taken. 

Why wait on a company for that matter ? Dig into that head of yours and get ready to make your own generation changing contribution to society just be grateful and appreciate of the contributions already in existence.

THE FOOT LOCKER RE-BRAND THAT YOU NEED TO TAKE NOTICE TO

Foot Locker has always been a staple in the community. Whether it was the quick pull up for the white forces in the summer or being the place you got your first pair of retros, Foot Locker always stood the test of time. With the sneaker culture getting deeply immersive and more prevalent, niche boutiques has been killing it lately because of its exclusivity of sneakers and connection to the sneaker culture on a ground level.

If your suburban sneaker culture is mixtape underground then Foot Locker is as mainstream as it gets. However, Foot Locker is making sure it isn’t overlooked in the sneaker world. The first step was House of Hoops but lately its been more extreme than a simple store expansion. 

The “Because Sneakers” commercial, the new Detroit store, and it involvement in NBA2K establishes that Foot Locker plans to be the big behemoth as the face of Sneakers.

The Because Sneakers commercials gather forces in the culture (i.e. Don C, owner of JUST DON & known affiliate of Kanye West) to display just why the sneaker craze is so deeply engrained and important.

The new Detroit store took ample steps in honoring and propelling the image/heritage of Detroit. Using contemporary local heroes who have shown their dedication to the culture, connecting a giant brand to the gritty city that’s been overlooked far too long.

NBA2K, the crowned basketball simulation of this generation, is in the homes of many and with the ever so popular MYPLAYER mode, players are taking customization to the next level. And what’s a good player without a good sneakers these days? With exclusives like the Air Fear of God and the Yeezys digitized, Foot Locker wins by associating its brand with crowned jewels, allowing players to make subconscious connection between foot locker and sneaker heat.

The Foot Locker re-brand should never be overlooked and should be embraced because the battle for sneaker supremacy is still ongoing and Foot Locker is making sure they aren’t forgotten.
