Yo, whatupdoe world, This is just a quick update. Not much to talk about. New Burn Rubber Champion Tee (Red Wings), New Clothing line called “Finalized“, Freshman & a Reebok for ladies. Here we go, check out the new BR tee. This is Bananas…
Don’t Sleep…

Next we have the First tee from Burn Rubber’s own Mic Dubb. ”Finalized”. Check it out…

After that, check out the Summer drop from “Freshman Clothing”. Come thru & cop heavy, you don’t wanna sleep on this. Peep it…



Last but not least, we got a crazy ill new Reebok for ladies. It’s called the Freestyle (5411) Cowboy. For obvious reasons, it looks like a cowboy boot. Check it out…

Alright, I’m outy 5,000 G! Just a quick FYI for everybody. When you come into the store, you’ll see these brown bags on the shelf. These are Blind item grab bags.



The big bags have either 2 hoodies, or a hoody & a Jacket for $95, & the smaller bags have 3 fitted hats for $45. The dope thing about it is that most of the hoodies & jackets are more than $95 for one, & your basically getting 3 hat’s for the price of 1. So don’t sleep, they are going fast. Other than that, we have the Kid Cudi & Asher Roth show coming up @ the Royal Oak Music theatre. This is gonna be C-Razy.

We have tickets for sale @ Burn Rubber, get them while they last. Also, don’t forget to come through to the Release party for the “Artist Series Tees” featuring Marlo Broughton.

Alright, I’m out, I’m getting tired, but follow the Burn Rubber fam on Twitter. @BurnRubber, @OhShitRoSpit, @BurnRubberRick, @MOSologist, @SkighWalker, @DevinSoBR, @CassidyBRNxRBR, & @MarsFliPelican. Stay Fly, Stay Fresh, Stay Safe. Peace!!!

To round it out, here’s a couple of the pieces from the Playcloths summer drop that came out on the 22nd. This came out the weekend of our big sale so we were mad busy, & couldn’t post the pics of the clothes. Due to the success of the sale, we sold out of some of the Playcloths. Here’s what we have left….






Thanks to all of the people that came thru & supported during the memorial day sale. Shout out to all of the sneaker headz that supported the Sneaker Swap @ Woody’s in Royal Oak, the SoulSurvivorDetroit x BurnRubber crew represented us well. Brandon what up!!! Shout out to everybody that rocked wit us @ the D.E.M.F. video coming soon. Real quick, we have a couple of releases this week first we have the White/Black Jordan Fusion 9 release on Saturday June 6th. Check out the pic here.

Also the Tan Yeezy’s come out this saturday too. I’m pretty sure nobody cares about that though. Lol, jk. WE ARE DEFINITELY GETTING THE YEEZY’S THIS SATURDAY. There will be 2 raffles, 1 for a free pair of Yeezy’s, & one for the chef’s spot in line, which of course is the 1st spot in line. Check out the flyers.


PLEASE DO NOT CALL US TO ASK US ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE YEEZY’S. WE WILL MORE THAN LIKELY HAVE A RUDE UNDERTONE WHEN WE REALIZE THE CALL IS FOR THE YEEZY’S. I can answer the majority of the questions here, right now in my 25 best answers to Yeezy questions. You can also do a quick reference to #25.
- YES WE ARE GETTING THE YEEZY’S ON SATURDAY JUNE 6, 2009 @ 10AM
- WE WILL NOT HOLD YEEZY’S FOR ANYONE. NOT EVEN YEEZY HIMSELF
- WE WILL NOT SELL THEM TO YOU AT A SUPER INFLATED PRICE (ANYTHING OVER $2,000 COME HOLLA AT US, WE’LL TALK)
- WE WILL NOT SELL THEM EARLY
- WE WILL NOT TELL YOU HOW MANY PAIRS WE HAVE IN STOCK (THERE NOT EVEN HERE YET)
- THE PRICE IS NON-NEGOTIABLE
- YES WE ARE DOING RAFFLES (SEE ATTACHED FLYERS)
- YES THAT’S THE ONLY WAY TO BE PART OF THE RAFFLE
- NO WE CANNOT TELL YOU WHEN THE BEST TIME TO START LINING UP FOR IS (MY SUGGESTION IS RIGHT NOW)
- YES IT IS THE TAN ONES W/ THE GLOW IN THE DARK BOTTOM & SWOOSH, & NO YOU CANNOT BUY MULTIPLE PAIRS, HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?
- YES RICK & I ARE GETTING A PAIR FOR OURSELVES
- NO RICK & I DID NOT PLAY YOU IN ANY TYPE OF WAY…IF ANYTHING BLAME NIKE, IT’S CALLED SUPPLY, DEMAND, & HYPE!!!
- LIFE IS SOMETIMES UNFAIR
- IF WE GET A TICKET FROM THE CITY OF ROYAL OAK BECAUSE YOUR BLOCKING THE SIDEWALK, THE PRICE OF THE TICKET WILL BE ATTACHED TO THE YEEZY (HAVE SOME RESPECT)
- PLEASE DO NOT BRING A DRUG ADDICT TO STAND IN LINE FOR YOU
- OUR “FRIEND” TO YEEZY RATIO OUT WEIGHS THE AMOUNT OF YEEZY’S WE GET IN. SO JUST STOP RIGHT THERE.
- YES WE ARE “FRIENDS”, & SINCE WE ARE SUCH GOOD “FRIENDS”, STAND YO ASS IN LINE & SUPPORT OUR BUSINESS. (SHOUT OUT TO EDDIE, GRIFF & BUB. SOME OF MY TRUE FRIENDS THAT STAYED IN LINE OVERNIGHT FOR THE 1ST PAIR)
- WE APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU THINK YOU SPEND SOOOOOOO MUCH MONEY IN HERE & THAT YOU’RE THAT “COOL” WITH US THAT YOU DESERVE A PAIR. MONEY DOESN’T MAKE YOU BETTER THAN THE NEXT PERSON. (THAT’S A LIFE LESSON THERE) & IF WE WOULD HAVE KNEW THAT WAS THE REASON THAT YOU WERE COPPING SO HEAVY, WE WOULD NOT HAVE SOLD THAT STUFF TO YOU. GROW UP!!!
- WE KNOW THAT THEY ARE JUST TRYINNA FLIP THEM. THEY STOOD IN LINE, THEY CAN SET THEM ON FIRE FOR ALL I CARE.
- YOU DON’T DESERVE A PAIR JUST BECAUSE YOUR A “SNEAKER HEAD”, REAL HEADS WILL DO WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO TO GET THEM.
- I AM SO SORRY THAT YOU HAVE TO WORK, & YOU CAN’T SIT IN LINE (REFER TO #13)
- EXCUSES ARE MONUMENTS OF NOTHING, BLAH BLAH BLAH!!!
- WE DON’T OWE YOU ANYTHING.
- YEAH, I FEEL YOU, BUT I’M NOT JESUS. I CAN’T TURN WATER IN TO WINE. OR A PAIR OF THESE GR DUNKS THAT’S BEEN SITTING HERE OVER A YEAR TO A PAIR OF AIR YEEZY’S. SORRY.
- HELL NO!!!
That should cover all bases. If by any chance these 25 answers didn’t answer all questions, give us a call & we’ll try our best to answer the questions that you have.
To the people who do stand in line, & wait like champions, we humbly appreciate your support. We try to do everything in our power to make everything fair, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time. We’re trying to build something here in Michigan that’s bigger than all of us, and I’m not willing to risk any of that for anybody. Remember, not too long ago, people wouldn’t have dreamed about copping a pair of something this limited anywhere in Michigan. So we are taking steps in the right direction. We finally caught the eye of the people that call the shots. We gotta take baby steps. I wish I had a million pair to sell, but if they made that many, ya’ll prolly wouldn’t even want them. It’s a catch 22 huh? Oh well, life goes on. I’m out. Stay Fly, Stay Fresh, Stay Safe. Peace.
