“If Hov’s a Blackberry Bold, then shorty is a Sidekick”


So if I’m also a Blackberry Bold, then what are my sneakers? Exactly. They are bold too!


I thought about this concept nearly a year ago. One of my habits is typing up my ideas on my Blackberry and giving myself a deadline. I also note any costs that may need to be incurred. However, I went a little bit crazy in the NikeiD shop and was not able to bring my idea to life. This time I got it right. The idea was executed about a month ago and since I opted to have my sneakers mailed to my office I am just now receiving them. Be warned, this is a trend that could become a problem. Please note the details of the design. My Blackberry Bold has seen better days but, #cmonson it was released in November of 2008. Any designers and/or mobile companies want to work on a ‘pack’?

Great get a way for couples.
