Grails- AT.

"According to Christian mythology, the Holy Grail was the dish,plate,or cup used by Jesus at the Last Supper, said to possess miraculous powers." - Wikipedia

A Grail - short for Holy Grail to the sneakerhead is that elusive shoe.. that one that would finish off their collection, the one that they've been fiending for since 1988, the piece de resistance. 

which brings me to article 1)

Black Cement Air Jordan 3's:
Every basketball loving boy is raised on the power,skill,finesse and general class of MJ.

And his signature shoe line is no different.

His third sig, the AJ3 is lauded as one of the classics in the line.

Oh and it doesn' t hurt that he freethrowlineslamdunkcontest-ed in these.

Like most if not all Jordan's their designs are always ahead of their time and can be widely misunderstood and unappreciated. But anyone understanding the history and culture behind these will see its beauty.

On a personal note, these have been one of my personal grails since i was a young lad in high school, although my desire for basketball shoes has waned somewhat since then, these have always been a pair ive wished to attain.

(on a side note they are re releasing this year in a package III/XX package this year.)

(need a fuckin job)

And here is article 2)

Visvim FBT's

Visvim a Japanese footwear brand, hails from Japan and has its focus in simplicity.

This model the FBT has been done and redone in each season, whether it be in leather (like below) or suede or with patchwork or whatever!

But whatever the material its dopeness is derived from its moccasin style and silhouette 

(unluckily for me, with most overhyped japanese shit, these shits sell usually like hotcakes once they are released and then get resold at overinflated hypebeast prices, and even when they are sold at retail, the price is still $$$)

(however the Visvim store F.I.L in HK can be located in central near LKF)

my name is Ambrose. and these are a few of my grails.
