Sneakers have been one of the most popular accessories for the Hip Hop Culture, and now Jay- Z is releasing his new kicks under the Rocawear Label called the R+ “Evolution†and with a price of $85, it makes the sneaker about $130 cheaper than the Nike Air Yeezy.

Well it’s the 5th of May also known as Cinco De Mayo. Today is known not only for the Mexican celebration/parties and alcohol but now for Sneakers thanks the Nike and its sub division company Jordan. On May 2, 2009 while the country was trying to get their hands on the Air Yeezy’s, the rest of America was forced to look elsewhere for new kicks.
Hence the Air Jordan 1’s (Cinco De Mayo) Limited release sneaker. The two pairs of sneakers were inspired by the Mexican Flag, which for $100 per pair you might as well grab both. For those of you who missed out and wanted to get your hands on the (Tribe Called Quest) 1’s this has the same color scheme so it would be a good alternative, which is just a thought.
Also I am still looking for the “Sneakerhead of the Week” where you will be featured on AmalgamDigital.com Blog written by me Suga Ramos. I would like you to send an email with your picture and info so I can also Interview you. So feel free to send your Submissions to Sneakers.Amalgam@gmail.com and lets see who the “Sneakerhead of the Week” will be for the Week of May 11th.
What is going on all you Sneaker Heads, It’s the S.R. back on Amalgam Digital’s Blog to inform you about the big week ahead of us with sneakers. May is going to be a great month for new releases and retro kicks.
But first lets go back to early April, where I know the die-hard sneaker head tried to get their hands on Kanye’s Nike Air Yeezy, yet a lot of you left empty handed in Chi-town. Well now you have another chance to get a hold of the second of three releases, the black Air Yeezy’s on Saturday, May 2nd.
House of Hoops, Footlocker and Footaction on 34th Street in New York, will be releasing the limited edition sneaker on Saturday and I believe the turnout is going to be if not as big as the NYC Pigeon Dunks release, than bigger. I haven’t heard any stories yet but I do know that soon enough people are going to attempt to camp out to try to get their hands on the kicks. The Air Yeezy is going to retail for $215.00, Good luck in trying to get your hands on a pair.
But if you are not fortunate on getting your hands on a pair, this is your chance to getting or even saving up for a couple of pairs of kicks that get released in May. Here is a small list of Jordans that should be available the first couple of days in May.
* Air Jordan 1 Retro High Strap (Limited Release)
      Midnight Navy/Varsity Red-Sail $110.00
* Air Jordan 1 Retro High (Limited Release)
      Black/Laser Blue $100.00
* Air Jordan 1 Retro (Limited Release)
      Cinco De Mayo (Black or White) $100.00
Also I am still looking for the “Sneakerhead of the Week” where you will be featured on AmalgamDigital.com Blog written by me Suga Ramos. If you get your hands on the Air Yeezy’s, I would like you to send an email with your picture also for the rest of you feel free to send your Submissions to Sneakers.Amalgam@gmail.com and lets see who the “Sneakerhead of the Week” will be for the Week of May 4th.
It’s the S.R. (SugaRamos) here once again to talk about well, Sneakers! April is the month where in my opinion, the hottest sneakers get released just in time for the spring and summer weather. For women and children the Easter edition sneakers get released in time, well for Easter. With releases that are both colorful and well known, this would be a great time to jump on these sneakers, considering that “Bright is Right” for the Spring/Summer Seasons of 09.
           Now for me it’s the beginning of the NBA playoffs, NHL playoffs, and the beginning of a long Baseball Season. A reason I mention this is because
1.    I love the game of baseball; played it throughout high school
2.    Griffey is back with the Seattle Mariners
3.    Nike decided to re-release the Air Griffey Max I (‘96)
I had to jump on the opportunity to buy these classics once again, considering last time I owned a pair I was around 10-11 years old. You can find the Griffey Max I at a local spot for $139.99
