If you haven't heard by now, Gravis shit the bed.

Well, kinda. 

Ripped Laces success hasn't grown over night. It's taken hard work and dedication. We've been recognized for so much of our hard work that we're proud to say that Jerry Hsu himself has approached us to introduce his First Glance. The Hsu 2 Fusion from Emerica is next up in our list of reviews. We asked him to provide a few words on his new shoe and here's what he had to say... (photo below)


The Hsu 2 Fusion is the next shoe to be featured using our video reviews but more importantly it's the 2nd Asian shoe review we're doing this month. The first one is the Converse KA-ONE and we spoke on whether Kenny Anderson holds the key to eternal youth. Their is still no confirmation on this but hold tight, we'll get you your answers. Now, we're moving onto the Jerry Hsu 2 Fusion from Emerica. It's entirely the opposite of Kenny's shoe. Jerry reintroduces us to his mid-loving ways and adds a few bells and whistles to this shoe. It has an in-sown toe cap, which hids the stitching from any unwanted blow outs and has a very comfortable and refreshing silhouette. I'm extremely happy to say that this latest mid-top doesn't look like a halfcab so thank God for that. Oh, I almost forgot, here's the english version of what Jerry had to say about his shoe.


The review should be out by the end of the month with a full video behind it. Oh and btw, we're looking to get this shit hole off blogger and make it legit. Any graphic designer out their wanna make some mula....? Hit us up at RippedLaces@gmail.com

Peace.

It's 11:30am and I'm sitting in my living room, minding my own and getting some RL's work done. Suddenly I was woken up out of my work "daze" to find a yelling man at my window. This wasn't the scariest shit in the world considering I've lived in the ghetto for over 14 years and have seen crack fiends throw tv's out the 5th floor window but it was surprising to find that this person yelling was Asian.  Now, I'm not much to judge but as far as I know, most people of Asian decent happen to be peaceful and full of chi, or something like that. As I got up from my chair and looked out my window, I saw him whacking a large yellow package at my window.

"I'm talking to youuuuu, you no listen!" He yelled.

When I got to the door, I asked him "What's up?" to which he responded "Is this you?", he was pointing at an envelope that read "Attn: Ripped Laces." He gave me the package and quietly faded into the sunset. This was my introduction to my new FP Foam King insoles. Kind of a large and unforgettable introduction at that. I'm wondering, was the Asian man cranky because the people at FP sent this man walking from their offices in California to NY or was he cranky because he wants me to get this review done as soon as possible and inform the readers about how good these insoles really are?

Asian people aren't particularly cranking so either of the two situations seems plausible.  This review should be done in 2-3 weeks. It'll be featured after the Vans TNT 5 review so stay posted.
