“Wale: How many pairs of ‘94 Pippens does he own?”
Dear Mitch Richmond,
The thing I like about Wale is that he references stuff I know about and also stuff that I have no idea about. Read that back to me. Thanks.
On Whole Time, he alludes to a pair of all-black Pippens, leading me to believe he is the proud owner of this particular colourway. Many congratulations to you.
On Warrick Avenue, he alludes to his knickers and his blue and white Pippens, which are available at DQM and other sneaker boutiques both within the USA and abroad.
My question is, does he have a pair of the red Pippens, worn by Scottie during the ‘94 All Star Weekend. This is my colourway of choice given the attention they received during the weekend’s festivities.
These are readily available to the public and hence I am requesting he purchase a pair on my behalf, and mail them to my secret hideout post haste.
I wanna be Hollywood like Robinson, but I ain’t gettin’ paid like McIlvaine.
Alternatively, a pair of ?uestos would suffice.
Enjoy your Yuletide,
R.A.

I’m going out of town for 3 weeks and I always like to leave my apartment clean so when I return, it feels peaceful. Well, as part of my Saturday cleaning, I reorganized my closet which included moving my formal attire to the far left (the days of me wearing a suit to work everyday are a distant memory) and straightening out my footwear situation. I had all these ikea wall shelves that my boy Robby was supposed to install months ago but ended up only doing one and butchering my wall on number 2 (see top left above closet), so I made some makeshift shelves at the bottom of my closet and I’m feeling pretty good about it.

To the person who can identify the most sneakers in my closet (must identify different colorways too), I got a pair of free tickets to Wale’s show at Highline Ballroom on December 9th with UCB, Kid Cudi, Colin Munroe, Che Grand, Mark Ronson and Nick Catchdubs. Submit answers via email to RSVP@elitaste.com. Winner will be announced as soon as someone answers correctly. If nobody gets all of them, I will award the tickets to the high score. I suggest looking at every picture very carefully.
UPDATE: Sending me an email like this “i see some J’s 8, 9, 10 spizikes.them green and white adidas with thte dot stripes. some barkleys i think. a pair of 23’s. pair aof lebrons. 2 pairs of prada. them sb’s on the top right. forgot the name. i see a pair of the original 95’s lime and grey. i see some DC Foammies black and grey, pair of clarks , and i think nike structure triax forgot what they called. and i think your your wifey left them pink monstroties of a nike in there too.” is not how you win this contest. I need a detailed list.
From Hypebeast.com “Based on the popular Mercurial Vapor IV’s, Nike Football will be releasing a new version of the football boots called the Mercurial Vapor Rosa in pink. The playful commercial features French football midfielder Franck Ribery sporting the new pink Mercurial Vapors playing as Pink Panther. “One and only truly original” indeed. If you truly want to stand out in the soccer field, these are definitely the boots to get. Available now at nikestore.com.”
