Right on the edge of the boardwalk, The Venice Basketball League happened to be underway while my cousin and I were taking in all the activities offered.  The VBL is somewhat like the Rucker in New York, if you have a name in basketball you played in the VBL.  With an on-court emcee, camera men [...]

On my last day in Phoenix, my cousin and I hit downtown.  Outside of the dry heat, downtown Phoenix was phenomenal.  All of the sports complexes, with the exception of Cardinal Stadium, are located conveniently next to each other.  It still amazes me how these MLB fields are so huge.  It had to be bigger [...]

Me and the man P. Moore decided to test out Jason Mark sneaker solution on some oldies but favorites… As a strong supporter of the wear every pair concept, I have to admit that I rarely clean shoes. My explanation for not cleaning shoes is a 2 part issue; on one hand its pretty simple, [...]

Mission Statement

2005 gave rise to the dawn of a new era in Louisville, Kentucky. Tired of being entranced by the endless drone of hyper-consumerism, a collective of people was formed to reject what was being spoon fed to us by popular culture. A crew of people who initially shared a love of sneakers evolved into a consortium of like-minded individuals passionate about using their talents to raise awareness of youth culture in Louisville.

Saving Our Style is a creative outlet for those who have more to offer the world than what has been previously accepted by the masses. Our goal is to nurture youth and street culture in a positive manner. ALL CREWS UNITED is our rallying cry….
