Mets want you to know about some sneakers and a Busta Rhymes concert

Look, I can’t complain that Mets Intern Five doesn’t send me the press releases and then blow one off because I’m not into it.  If my friends the Mets want me to tell you about some sneakers and a concert then I am gonna do it.  A featured image would have been helpful, but hey I can use anything, like this stock footage image of what a Busta Rhymes concert COULD look like….
