Westchester Monarchs Sign Rupel

As I mentioned in an earlier post, my friend Benny Rupel was rocking k1x gear and some Shirts & Skins shorts that found its way to him from the SLAM Dome in a recent semi pro tryout. Well, Benny did in fact make the 12-man roster and is now a member of the Westchester Monarchs of the National Professional Basketball League, a union of weekend warriors playing for just about gas money. If you're in Elmira, NY, Rockland County, NY, Westchester, NY, Alexandria, VA or Maryland, the NPBL might be worth a look.

KICK GAME!

K1X:
Originals

Last week, while making the rounds through this busy city I came across a pair of k1x cheifgliders. I can't say where I got them, but I can say I've wanted a pair of these things for years. Here is a quick look at these cult classic kicks. Peep the old-school "Naismith-era" basketball on the side. chiefgliders, Rucker Edition. As my sources say, they are very hard to come by in the U.S. and are unlawful to ship into the country.

These kicks date back to when Zach Marbury, Steph's little brother, was one of the German brand's first endorsers. Since then, Ron Artest and rapper Joel Ortiz has rocked k1x and more recently street ball king Corey "Homicide" Williams.

INTRODUCING:

Homicide hit me on the text tonight. He's got a full line of gear coming from K1X, the Homicide Collection. Here are the ballers who have been behind their ads for a few years now.
