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.

The producer behind MIA “Paper Planes” lent his hand to 5 remixes on this project. You’ve heard “Bama Gettin Money remix” and the original “Bama Gettin Money” is iTunes Discovery Download of the week (no it’s not an Obama reference). Go PRE ORDER the full length right now (Radiohead style…pay what you want or don’t pay at all!) and you will get a download code for when it drops on November 18th
