“Got a passion for buying sneakers? It could be a good sign, with a poll finding that people who buy three pairs of sneakers or more a year are far more likely to be a leadership type that other people.
Mindset Media, a media company that examines personality traits of different consumers, found that people who buy more than three pairs of sneakers a year are 61 percent more likely to have the qualities of a modern leader.
These qualities were defined as having ideas and vision, and a style with others that is both inclusive and decisive.”
Wale kilt it at Area last night…shouts to Lindsay Lohan, Travis Barker and Samantha Ronson who were all in the building

LOS ANGELES, CALIF.–Recent Interscope signee Wale has decided to put his recording career on hold to try out for the Los Angeles Avengers, an arena football team.
“Almost everyday I wonder what life would be like if I hadn’t quit playing college ball,” said Wale, 23, from his manager’s office in LA. “I am clearly not big enough for the NFL, but arena football benefits an athlete like myself with explosive speed and agility.”
The Avengers have waived Wale past preliminary try outs, believing his presence on the team will be great for ticket sales and entertainment value.
“Wale is a natural,” said Casey Wasserman, president of Wasserman Media Group which owns the Avengers. “A natural athlete, a natural superstar and a natural entertainer.”
According to a press release from the team, the Avengers will renegotiate their footwear deal wit Nike, citing Wale’s affinity for the shoes as a deciding factor. An apparel deal is also in the works with Los Angeles based The Hundreds, who were recently acquired by LVMH, owners of Louis Vuitton (read article here).
“Honestly, I really just want Wale to be happy,” said Daniel Weisman, Wale’s manager. “I think in terms of marketing and branding him, the pro athlete angle will help, plus it will open up his touring schedule to cities the Avengers play in but might not book Wale for a show.”
Representatives from Interscope and Allido Records were not available for comment.

Tiger Wood is the first athlete to have his own Gatorade despite the fact they sponsored Michael Jordan for so long. This kinda reminds me of when Slimer got his own Hi-C drink, Ecto Cooler
Ecto Cooler was a product tie-in with the movie Ghostbusters. Hi-C struck a deal in 1984 to promote the movie by developing a drink. Expected to last only as long as the movie, the drink was successful beyond expectations and continued to be produced for the better part of two decades. The Ecto Cooler box featured the Ghostbusters character Slimer, as did the commercials. Slimer left the box sometime around 1997, but Minute Maid did not discontinue the product until 2001, at which point it was renamed Shoutin’ Orange Tangergreen. Slimer was replaced on the packaging by a similar-looking blob of lips. Except for the flavor, the only other unchanged aspect of the product is that it is still being noted as ecto cool on many store receipts. In 2006, Shoutin’ Orange Tangergreen was renamed Crazy Citrus Cooler. In 2007, Crazy Citrus Cooler was discontinued. I will always remember the Ecto Cooler because my mom never let me drink Hi-C.
The British show Top Gear is pretty amazing. They take some of the coolest cares in the world (from the Audi S4 to the BMW M6) and just pound the shit outta them in ridiculous locations. For a while, I’ve been thinking about how cool it would be to have a car chase in a movie involving a Phantom. Well, this video is the closest thing to that. Check it out.
