I recently received an email with the subject line, “British Knights are BACK!” Turns out the popular retro sneaker is attempting to make a comeback in 2008. So far they’ve launched 5 pairs, including the purple Supreme Hi Straps pictured above. They range in price from $74.99 to $149.99. Four additional styles will drop on 6/15/2008. You can check them all out on the official British Knights website.
I’m all about retro kicks coming back but I think BK needs to come a little harder than this. That’s just my humble opinion though. What do you guys think?
Oh, and be sure to check out this Karmaloop TV interview with Mr. Icee Fresh, Ben Baller. He talks about the custom jewelry he’s made for Tom Cruise and his iced out million dollar cashiers check.

I am speaking for all of the hoods nationwide when I say this! They are wack and don't need to ever be re-distributed. Nobody in the hood will ever rock those sneakers again. The only reason why it was a success the first time around is because Kool Moe Dee was the spokesman even though their style was wack. And there style is still oh so wack.

Those pics of the shoes and the prices did not match. They need to step their designs up big time.
Memo: If I catch anyone wearing those, I will promptly say, " Take that monkey sh%t off, You're embarrassing us" !!!!

Ben is tired. I am tired of this guy. Anybody remember 'Do the Right Thing' ?? Well, do it then! Buy your jewelery and your gear from your own people. When this dude hits 40 he will go back to Koreatown and forget he ever knew you. Ask his family members about all this grill and diamond watch bullshit. Its just a fking check to them. Ben has us looking like rich apes while he stacks paper.
I can't wait until Indians and Arabs start selling liquor and cigarettes to their own and Asians open their own cornerstores with junk food and BEN the "Baller" starts selling that crappy *ss jewelry to Koreans.
Black people - FOCUS - you are losing control.
