After making my first NIKEiD, I had to do another one. After endlessly searching for some Blink Yeezy’s in my size and not finding a deadstock pair, I had to throw that color way on an AM90. Since glow in the dark soles are not an option on NIKEiD, I threw a clear sole on. I’m looking into getting something to make the soles glow, but for now they’re clear.
Definitely one of my favorite kicks in my collection now.
I’ve never been into Air Force 1’s one bit, but once I got the opportunity to NikeID these, it was a wrap.
These take direct inspiration from one of my favorite Nike SB Dunks, the Black Supreme Lows. Although the Black Supremes took inspiration from one of my favorite Jordans, the Black Cement III, the color blocking on the dunk low is perfect, so I kept it the same for these.
Meet Sheldon, my new baby hedgehog. I got him for my girlfriend and I as a gift for Valentine’s Day. After searching all over the DFW metroplex (even up to 2 hours away from where I live), I finally got my hands on this male pinto hedgehog.
There is only one authorized breeder in north Texas, who currently has a long waiting list of people wanting a hedgehog, along with a few pet shops, who were also sold out with waiting lists. Luckily, I found a loving couple in Burleson, TX (about an hour drive from Denton) who were looking for a new home for their beloved 11 week-old hedgehog. I was lucky enough to find their post the day before Valentine’s Day, right when they posted it up.
We have had Sheldon for just one day, but we already have trouble leaving him home alone. He is pretty shy, but he’s finally starting to open up to us and allow us to handle him. And for some reason, he loves lodging his head into toilet paper rolls.
I’ve always like the idea of straps on hats. Seeing how everyone is charging $150+ for something like this, I decided to have these done custom. Both straps were made with 100% genuine snake skin. More to come!
(The floral print on the Bulls hat was originally done by MagMonsters.)
I have been super busy lately, between work, family time, and more work.
The site for my brand, Gris Apparel, is now up! I’ve been putting a lot of work into Gris since I began it. The first series of shirts will drop within a couple weeks and will be followed by a special, even more limited drop, so keep an eye out!

Recent Pick-Up: Deadstock 1995 OG XI “Bred”
This is my second pair of these. I got these for a pretty low price so I had to buy them. These are the original release from 1995. The reason the boxes are different is because these actually came in both boxes: First, the black and grey Air Jordan box (like the rest of the original Jordan XI releases), and then the brown Nike box. Why not have both in the collection?
Recent Pick-Up: Deadstock 2000 Air Jordan VI “Infrared”
I’ve been searching for these in my size for a long time. Finally found them for a good price.
I bought my girlfriend and I floor seats to the Watch The Throne tour. It was dope. The overall production was crazy. They had two stages that both elevated to reveal huge 4-sided LCD screens. Definitely a memorable experience for us.
They didn’t allow “professional cameras,” so I tried to disguise my camera to be smaller by only bringing in my 35mm lens (which almost got confiscated by security). I’m bummed I couldn’t bring my longer lens, but I was happy to be able to snap what I could.
My blog posts are slipping. Sorry. Been busy with work, school, life, and my brand, Gris Apparel.
I’m expecting to have our first series of shirts out by late December - early January. I’ve been busy working to perfect the things I want to make of this brand. You all will see plenty of content update once we get the site up and running, as well as our online store.
Stay tuned!
Recently, Fur Face Boy did an awesome giveaway where he gave away a shirt to one person in every state of the USA. My brother’s girlfriend (whom lives in Louisiana) knows how much I support FBB and love his tees, so she surprised me by entering the giveaway and giving me one of the shirts!
I am super hyped to have one of these limited tees, but I feel bad for depriving Louisiana of one. But, FFB happened to send an EXTRA shirt along with this one! So I’ve decided to return the favor and give this extra tee to the FIRST person from Louisiana to email or message me on Tumblr for FREE! I feel the need to spread the free-shirt love.
So if YOU happen to live in Louisiana and want to support Fur Face Boy, email me and I will send you this shirt FOR FREE!
