Kicks For The Kulture

Welcome back Happy Munkey Fam, to the 4/20 edition of Kickz 4 the Kulture. Some people choose to wear their most expensive sneakers, others choose to wear the most comfortable ones. Regardless, no other item of attire can describe your sense of style more than your footwear. Style is a mode of living for expense or display. Since this April issue marks the first year of Kickz 4 the Kulture, I put the focus on the entire Happy Munkey team staff and listed their favorite sneakers and reasons why they loved them.

Rafael aka "My Nigga Ralph" chooses a pair of classic Chuck Taylor’s on any given day. Nonexpensive sneakers that he can wear through sun, rain, sleet, or snow. He owns 9 pairs and it’s chucks or death for him.

Vlad aka "The People’s Champ" chooses a pair of lowtop all white Air Force 1's on any day of the week. He says the all white Uptowns are the New York sneaker. Raised all his life wearing all white Air Force 1's, they are his favorite because they will always remind him of where he came from.

Ramon aka “Prizzi” says his go-to sneakers are the utility black Adidas Yeezy 500. To him, they are the perfect combination of comfortability and durability. Also, he loves the calm subtle colors on the shoe.

David Hernandez aka Dabbin' Dave is a genuinely classic guy who chooses to wear a pair of Wallabees by Clark over any other footwear. The Hush Puppies as many may know them are Dave’s choice due to the quality of the leather and suede, crafted for durable wear.

Mr. Puffington aka "The Professor" "The Professor" is all about his Jeremy Scott Adidas. He simply likes them because they are loud like the cannabis he smokes, and have actual wings always keeping him above the clouds.

Black Rose aka "La Rosa Negra" loves a pair of Air Jordan 9 olive boots. She loves how comfortable they feel on feet and the militant colors featured on the shoe match her style and attitude perfectl.

Arian aka TechKing is big on versatility so his favorite choice of footwear is a classic pair of Chelsea Boots. He doesn’t believe in being overdressed and yet is always dressed for the occasion.

Danielle Chon-Briggs aka "DCB" loves herself a pair of Sean Wotherspoon Air Maxes because of the color palette and the different unique textures used on the shoe.

Rico aka "RicoBankz" selected the black and grey Nike Sacais as his favorite sneaker and color-way. He loves how the sneaker has a waffle bottom and it’s a new creative silhouette.

Flaco aka “Flaco Bling The Supreme King" can’t think of anything other than his sail colored Off White Air Jordan 5’s. He says it’s a classic sneaker with a new hyped sauce on it.

Last but not least, is Jose Rozay aka "The Legend" and I went with the black cement Air Jordan 3’s as my favorite. This sneaker kept the Jordan Nike legacy alive because if Tinker Hatfield didn’t make this sneaker, Jordan would have probably signed with Adidas. They released for the first time the year I was born and the cement reminds me of the gritty New York cement streets I grew up on. Last but not least it’s the first Jordan sneaker with an exposed air bubble.

In conclusion, we all have a different style that together creates a dope family named Happy Munkey. Hope you all enjoy your 4/20 day the right way, and remember to wear some cool kicks in the process. Until next time stay blessed and always happy!
