British Walkers Page #4

Yo Wave when you put somebody on gotta give dem instructions on how to rock'em if you catch'em slippin take right off they feet.(LOL)

Yoooo!Waddupski, Yo I talked to young today and the verdict is in.....Just like we thought its a rap for the British Walkers.He said as of now "no future for the shoe. We rapped bout 10 mins he called me after I told da secretary "tell young dee said stop duckin him!" He is a good dude tho I told him we pretty much came to accept the fact that dey aint f*%kin wit da shoe no more.but young,tell em to make 4 dozen burgundy for old times sake he laughed an said "I wish I could man I'd do it just for yall". Yo you gotta think samsung is a billion dollar corp dey aint got no time to be worrying bout makin 6-7 stacks from Mike dey want 6-7 stacks from 100 merchants you figure,dey go for $55 a pair gotta buy a dozen thats like $660 a dozen they gotta pay Kenny and everybody else and thats just small potatoes for samsung plus dey lost money cuz of da colors like right now dey wholesaling em. I asked him how did they end up wit em anyway, he said good question.If we was dealing wit a strait up shoe vendor we coulda made some noise but these people got fashion, machinery, textile and trading divisions they aint studding no BWs.Now what needs to happen is dey need to f@#kin sell da rights to somebody who is serious about shoes GBX Steve Madden Diesel whoever. Just think if GBX or somebody that sells just shoes year round had em, they would go back to the history and make em funky ba-lee-dat. So for now all we got is all we got and I had 2 pair for over 3 yrs. So get cha' scrub brushes out clean your soles and watch your colors when you got on blue denim spray em wit dat protectant and get da spray cleaner. Yo next mission is.....to get GBX or somebody to make em like we like em.You never know what chu' can get till you ask. PEACE MY Bruvas Life,Nat,Ice,Kid,Big J holitdown,Dee Big j where you at? holla at cha' crew

Well if it's over I got six guess it 's time to move on, the clarks are next for me they still got tha flavors but I miss the sharing and put ol' heads like us on to what's up. ok alpaca sweaters & cordurfield coats. Big up every one. Life, Nat, Ice, Dee & Moo

Yo Big J man i feel your agony fam i was thinkn maybe we could all get together an get the rights they ready to scrap'em we prob can get dirt cheap it's a thought yall le me kno how yall feel. what the deal the whole BWB crew LIFE,NAT,DEE ,MO AND MY BROTHER IN AGONY BIG J.

Yo Fam(BWB) wassup, Ice I was thinking da same thing. I wonder what it would cost us cuz if we git da rights you know we gonna have da crazy colors and style. So I'm wit it. Who else is down. It's worth lookin' into. Holla back

Ayo, yall must've read my mind cuz word iz bond I was thinkin' da same thing just yesterday!! I mean dey done wit' da shoe so maybe we can cop da rights and do what we gotta do to get the flavs back man!! Big J what you think bout' dat son????

AAAAAYO, What it is crew? Yo right off da top we leavin out da bruva kidwave,Dee and Mook is da same cat,ME! We gotta support dat bruva he had a tragic and shockin experience he saw dem BWs dyin when his step pops walked in....Lord help him LOL! Yo of course I thought about dat soon as I knew dey wasnt puttin em back on da streets,but we gotta lotta things to think about like,how much can we afford,how much to make da shoes & keep da machines runnin,how are dey gon deal wit us bein dudes from da hood and and not businessman,although dat could go in our favor if we just wanna buy em to wear em,would we need a white dude(s) to help us since dey deal wit their own differently, should we get a lawyer to talk for us, along wit da fact Imma broke-ass College student but, WILL WORK FOR BRITISH WALKERS! One thing for sure is we gotta see da sales report cuz we know they lost money and we could possibly lose out too since people didnt buy da shoe(wink wink).We gotta see what they paid for da name, probably gave da owner a loan then he couldnt pay so he lost da rights so dey gave it a try. We gotta get all dis together if we cant hopefully Puff Russell Dame(maybe not) Red Alert somebody will cop da name and rep da shoe like a real 80s trooper should, do we gotta step to em like shoe lovers not businessman if we want a good deal? Or we could tell Mike to go at em he sells da most BWs period. We should consult somebody witta successful business, ask em what would you do? So come on, Lemme know cuz I'll get on da phone "QUICK FAST and in a hurry, dont worry cuz Flava vision aint blurry".....Damn where dat come from? Oh yeah PE, LOL.But for real we gotta put our minds together and go at em correctly. HOLLA BACK! Ice Life Nat Kidwave Big J. P.S I guess we lost Capps

Hate to barge the British Walker thread, but if you need mock necks, suede front sweaters hit a PRATO menswear near U. Just my .02. Fillin up my Kangol collection- Daffy's at about $10-$14 a piece. The real deal blue tags and all. Still on the hunt for sharkskins- does Wayne Brady have to tailor make a b***h?

Yeah......MOOK. Dont 4get a Brother...i still holds it down for the BW CREW!!!!!!!!Im Hard at workin on this documentary on old hip hop fashion...check for it soon..ima keep yall up to date on the status...HOLLA!!!!

Yo Crew peep dis, on some real talk. First off, most sucessful(black) biznesses started as a thought or idea from some hood ni66a's. so we don't need nobody to speak for us but us(FUBU)...Hmmm...but seriously doe. We gonna need some major backing, if we can sell this idea to someone with som paper(diddy,Russ,etc.) and have a petition from VA. to Mass. showing the market is there then we just might be able to pull this off. But bruva's gotta do they research and yo Dee, you should holla at Ahmedina's and ask general questions like how do we get the rights, what is it gonna cost to manufacture them etc. Maybe Holla at young one more and ask about the rights. Yo fezENY where is the prato located in NYC and daffy's hook a bruva wit some digit's or addresses. Holla Bac Ice, Dee, Kidwave,Big J, Life...BWB. 5000

TO MY WHOLE BW CREW PEACE I FORGOT ANYBODY NAME NO MALICE INTENDED COUNT TO TRYING TO SAY TOO MUCH TOO FAST. MOOK GOT THE RIGHT IDEA WE NEED A INSIDE TO SEE SALES AND HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST ACQUIRE EVERYTHING. AS FROM A MARKETING STANDPOINT I WOULD JUST PUT DEM ON ONE OF FIVE PEOPLE FEET JIGGA,PUFF,T.I.,BUSTA OR 50.BUT THATS THE EASY PART FIRST THING FIRST WE GOTTA FIND HOW MUCH IT'S GONNA COST US TO MAKE MONEY AND THE POTENTIAL INCOME WE CAN MAKE VERSUS THAT.DON'T NOBODY TRIP ON MONEY AS LONG AS GOD GIVES US BREATHE WE CAN MAKE THAT. I AIN'T YELLIN I ALWAYS TYPE IN CAPS.SPECIAL SHOUT TO MY BIG HOMIE KIDWAVE.PEACE.AS ALWAYS TAKE NOTICE AND TAKE CHARGE.ONE.

Yo fezENY, ne'er mind about the adress for prato's I got it. Thanx tho' Yo, Ice you right if we can get dem cat's you name to bite you know we in there....just one thing tho' you ever wonder why nobody else ever came up wit this idea like dem cat's, you think somebody already tried this...I wonder, but we still gon try our thang anyway. PEACE!!!

Thats sound like a good Idea but no red alert or fubu cause they'll just get greedy and charge to much. Red is already affiliated with this site old school british walkers and they want $150.00 now I don't know about You Cats but I don't Love BW's that much some times less is more. If We could get the rights we would get off because we know all the favors plus we could add more hot favors and styles to the template even make a female verson of the shoe in more soft colors and a heel. what do you think?

Also this company says they didn't make BW's back in the some how palado or how ever you spell his is the original designer but lost the rights some where then this kadeems took over but didn't research a damm thing and then put out the last two styles of BW's with less than half the colors. Red Alert 7 Fubu Gonna want To Money they are GREEDY for the dow once more for them it would be about the money only not for the love of the shoe. If We Took over not only could we bring back all flava & styles even make some female verson of the shoe with soft souls and heels like Timberland has done the combo would endless. Holla back maybe we are on to some thing.

Bruvas, Big J waddup been missinin action troop. Yo Nat Im very articulate Im capable of talkin wit anybody and keepin up. What I was sayin is they would welcome and open doors for dem/dat dude not usually open to us. Now Diddy Russ Jigga 50 any of dem dudes wouldnt need us they could dig in their pocket and pay for the rights cuz dey cant want no more than 10 stacks, "the shoe isnt popular no more it resurfaced and flopped aint no whole lotta promise,its a narrow consumer base, urban males 36 and over stores might not buy cuz they lost money on em before" I would go at em like dat, "See we takin over a failing bizness because we wanna wear da shoe forever" I would go at em like dat,just give em reasons why we shouldnt "aint no money in dis shoe,buyin dem as is is risky bizness, truth be told this shoe is washed up,history dats why yall discontinued em." Puff and Jay and 50 Russ would get more respect from dem cuz dey already rich. As far as Red you right J dey wanted $150 for shoes dey paid $50 for, maybe they tried to get em maybe they lost out maybe dey had 7 heads in on it dats why dey charged $150, maybe nobody is on dis BW sh!t real hard like us. My thing was if we fail maybe one of dem ni66as wit da doe like 50 Puff or Russ would jump on it. We love em cuz we luv em, they about money. I meant I would ask a real slick bizznessman in order not to pay too much and about all da angles. If we get em we will run it right cuz its all love hear me? As for khadims Big J we concluded dey sell hard bottoms not these joints. Imma ask young who I should talk to about "relieving em of dis flop", we need to see exactly what dey want. Now Mike is prime he is gettin em off he got da doe Id rather see him wit em then Puff and them cuz then, dey goin for at least $125 trust me.So lets see whats up, PEACE Deezel

Big J I meant to tell you undergroundstation got Clarks now I seen em on sale for 69.99 out here my man got em in flavas, had on brown today,but they got da clarks tag on em. Their site had em for 79.99 but they called Clarks Padmore look just like Wallys I had two tabs open comparing em. The Padmores got gum rubber sole like the beige BWs the wallys got a bumpy sole I aint no Clarks expert I had a couple pair, but check it out go to their website underground station.com then google clark wallabees pull em both up and compare em. I was thinkin bout coppin some last time I was at da mall but I chilled.

Well I've seen Busta with a pair already @ an award show he had brown & beige pair and a custom made leather & suede outfit in the same colors if you research it you have to go back about 2 or 3 years, Nas also rocks them and Playboys. cause of that japan has been buying them that's the reason for the small sizes.

Yeah Sun Clark are ok my older brother had them all Clark is the brand and wally is the style just after the got real known then they started putin' the clark name tag on them.

Yeah J I see aint no difference except the newer joints called padmore has a gum sole and the old wallys got da crepe sole. I saw one site where they called padmores wallabee boot. They used to have a tag on da lace wit "wallabee" but now they have a red small "clarks" tag on da shoe like I said I aint no Clarks expert I only had 2 pair in 20 yrs I just always saw em second to BWs but my man got all flavas suede and leather.They got low and hi but they dont feel like BWs at all. Yo give me BWs before Mauri Gators, and dats my word. Nat Life Ice Kidwave get at me Dog PEACE Dee

I got 3 pairs of British n 4 pairs of Playboys for Mike's...I got 3 knit mocks, all that's missing is the suede pocket...And...For the piece de resistance', I have 2...yes...2 vintage Cortefiels which I will not disclose my source cause it was I that put the information about Mike's on the British Walker blog and blew him up...I got a 1979 Cortefiel, tan w/brown fur collar, n a brown 1977 one with the two flap pockets, leather trim around the chest n back....Whew...I'm single-handedly bringing Cortefiels back.....Ha.....
