Nike Kobe VII Released

Play, shoot, run, or a least wear his shoes Nike Kobe VII. The Shoes are Laker's colors purp N yellow and for sale at $140.  Jut for Kicks lets compare these Shoes with what LA Clippers Blake Griffin showed off last year, the Nike Zoom Hyperdunk.

Lets take it a step further, lets compare them to Nike LeBron 9 P.S. Elite Varsity Maize.

All I gotta say is these are some sneakerhead must have kicks. For the Basketball shoe collectors, they would be happy to own Nike Kobe VII, recently released this weekend (May 5). Rumor has it that the Nike Kobe VII will help you win championships, I guess we'll see about that after the playoffs.

For those of you that missed out on the Art Show check out what you missed out on. Food, drinks and dope muzic. Walking into the place you are greeted by a homeboy that will kindly hold the door open for you. Once inside I squeezed myself through the crowd and strait to Angela's green potion, yumm! This event was awesome; there was a diverse group of people appreciating Jose Ramirez and Fabian Debora art. The event was electrifying, what can I say; parking was just right the food and drinks were great, the art was beautiful, the music was on point, and meeting all the artist in there was a delight.

-The Spot-

Homeboy Hoang Pham aka 'chino' greeting you at the door and Homeboy's new intern Jena. Pham was a very professional and charismatic greeter; right away he made you feel welcomed.

-Inside look-

I had the pleasure of meeting the Artist Fabian Debora, he is a very humble and charming artist and his art pieces are touching. He took a moment from signing autographs to take a picture with the new intern. Check out his website www.fabianspadedebora.com 

-Fabian Debora and Jena-

Also, Jose Ramirez was awesome he let me take a pix of him and one of the muzic performers, the art that is behind him is one of my favorite. Here's his site www.ramirezart.com to check out his stuff. 

-Jose Ramirez and Aloe Blacc-

In a quick convo with Aloe Blacc he told me that he was there to show support to his friends. The Muzic definitely set the mood in the place. They had a lot of energy.

All in all it was a wonderful experience. All proceeds goes to Homeboy Industries and their facility. Their art will still be showcased for the next month. So if you've never been to Homegirl Cafe, you should stop by and have a good meal with some good art.

Homeboy Industries x Art x exhibit

Allow me to introduce myself, I am one of the new ASCTD krewmembers, and for now on i will be posting photos of places to eat, see, and random street pix. Today I ate breakfast at homegirls cafe with no intentions of talking about it, I just simply enjoy their food. Their Chilaquiles always hits the spot for breakfast. With some red sauce (they also have green sauce), a cup of coffee and a side of bacon of course! (sorry no pix of my delicious food, cause I ate it before i got the chance to take a pix of it.) 

Things changed when I noticed the art displayed on their walls at the Cafe, and I couldnt help it but to take out the camera and start shooting. So I went to ask for formal permission to take pix and the event manager told me all about tomorrow's exhibit. She graciously gave me permission to show you guys one of the paintings that will be on display tomorrow. For more info on the subject, check them out on FB. Homeboy Industries 

Two men have found an artistic way to express themselves with Homeboy Industries' Exit Wounds Project, a workshop and art collaboration led by painter Nancy Baker Cahill.

So as promised heres one of the pics.

Artist: Fabian Debora.
