Dunk High Pro SB Sport-Red-White

Just in time for Christmas. Should be hitting select Nike SB accounts early to mid Dec. Love the colors....

Marcus Jordan Response to Bow Wow vid

So I am kinda glad Marcus hit him back with this. Trust me....if I was the son of the great one I probably would answer back too. I know tons of people have been saying that it's not fair because MJ is his pops and that doesn't count. BS...I look at it differently, I would do it just cause I can. HAHAHA...enjoy. I am sure we will see more of these pop off, and when they do...you will have them.

Bow Wow Strikes again!

I know that I am late with this but in case you missed it......What do ya'll think of this cat?? I plead the 5th!! LOL...

Jordan 6/17 Bag!!

This is the hotness! A combination of the Jordan 6,7,17,12, and the 13's. This would be dope with the new mac book that I want. LOL. Hope somebody is tunned in. At any rate I always love the innovation and the delivery (sometimes) that goes into Jordan products. Unlike some of the shoes that I report on the blog surprisingly enough they use some pretty durable material and premium leather. Wonder why they keep going cheap on some of the shoes thought? More than likely the bag will retail for as much $150 on up. Give it a couple months and you can find it on eastbay for like 80. Enjoy....

Update on Black Red XX3's!!

Even better picture of how these "Limited" edition 23's are going to turn out now. Jordan Brand is suppose to make this colorway just as exclusive as the first joint that dropped early in the year. So here we go again with this now being limited to 23 pairs to the top 23 stores in the US. WACK!! 529 pairs total. Here is my thing though ya'll, if this is really going to be the case then let's keep it like that. How much do you want to be that they are going to pull some Tom Foolery and release some "unnumbered" pair as well.

Anyway, I do like the fact that every color that has release so far is pretty dope. I really wish they went butter soft black leather instead of the suede that they used with the first black/red model in these. I just know that over time that black begins to turn a funky green. Can't wait to see em in person though. Resellers get ready...

Adidas Conductor High Felt

So I figured this was appropriate with all this snow we have been getting lately here in Det. These will come in handy for some of ya'll that love fresh kicks and want to stay warm while doing it. Adidas Conductor is a straight bite of the Supra design but adds this winterized touch to it making them very comfortable and most importantly warm. Black leather upper with the lasered 3 stripes, phat tounge to make sure those pants have a place to go so they won't get wet! Nice looking shoe/boot. Can't wait to see if they drop any other colors in them....

WMNS Air Max 1 Winter Pack!!

Thanks again to my good friends over at KATC for hooking up the pics. Once again the ladies get the funku fresh color in the "winter pack" air max 1's. Air Max 1 features an upper of Purple leather, Pink Suede, and Dragon Red leather. To add some durability to the Winter style, the AM1 features an Off-White ripstop toebox and a Pink ripstop tongue. The upper sits on an Off-White midsole. 2 fly! Ladies if you have not picked these up then you need to get on em ASAP. Stay warm!

Mayor gets his own Air force 1. DAMN!!

Well well...seems as if Nike is just throwing people exclusives nowadays. Get your google game on again if you don't know who New York "Mayor" king amongst kings of air 1's is. I really love dudes collection just because he has some of the same passion as I do for my J's with his air 1's. So much that Nike decided to dedicate this exclusive to him as a tribute for having 1000 pair of air 1's. While I personally am not feeling the color way of this joint, the concept is ill. Nike laser 1000 1's all around the shoe to signify mayor 1000 pair of air one that he has collected over the years. Who knows, maybe Mike Jordan/Gentry might start reading the blog and give the Jumpman a "blinded" exclusive...........LOL. Hey , it could happen!

Air Jordan XX3 (True) Black/Red

What up ya'll? A few weeks ago I posted the "Chi town" edition color of the 23's that will be releasing next week .Well this color below was rumored to come out and it officially will drop within the near future. I am glad to see them starting to come back with the OG black/reds on his kicks. Sorry for the bogus pic but more to come as we get closer to these coming out. No release date yet!

CP3 II White/Black/Energy

CP3 II is scheduled to release next year around early March. I almost like these better than the first joints. They look like pretty dope hoop shoes and have a Jordan 22/Hyper Flight look to em. I just hope that Jordan Brand made these lighter than the first CP. These should retail for about $115 at the drop

Jumpman "Kicks" review pt.2

Let's get it poppin with part 2 of my "Kicks" review. Last vid to wrap up this review is coming soon. Peace!

Jordan Retro 1 Premier High "Gucci" review

As promised.......

Doernbecher Freestyle Retro 1

Again, please know what you are rocking before you cop!!! These will drop 11/14/08. Niketown and NDC online exclusive only....

Nike has once again unveiled their latest series of Doernbecher Freestyle sneakers for charity, designed by former patients of the Portland-based Doernbecher Children's Hospital with the help of Nike designers and developers. The first sneaker of five that we'll be detailing is the Doernbecher Freestyle Air Jordan 1 High, designed by Tony Taylor Jr, or as his friends and family call him, "Mr. Boober."








Tony was one of five Doernbecher patients chosen to design his very own shoe for the 2008 release, and he teamed up with Jordan Brand Senior Designer Jason Mayden and Developer Estelle Maranan to work on an Air Jordan 1 High from scratch. Aesthetically, there's surely more going on with this Air Jordan 1 than ever before with the model, but it's Tony's detailed backstory and inspiration for every facet of the sneaker that make it so special. The shoe's upper (with the true original High top cut!) is comprised of a gradient fading patent leather, and is actually just two pieces, a first for the normally multi-paneled silhouette. The seamless toe cap extends into the tongue, and the forefoot support overlay begins the rest of the upper piece extending to the heel of the shoe. According to Tony, the fade from black to blue signifies his triumph over kidney disease.

Even your President Elect rolls with the Jumpman! LOL

I know this is a old pic but still pretty dope! Prez hooping in some Jordan Brand Jeters. Would not be my first choice to hoop in but I understand... And dude was getting done up in some cross trainers. LOL

Can't forget the Ladies!!

Back like I never left...sorry for the lack of updates just been on this grind. Let's get into it.. Couple weeks back I posted the S+arck watches for the fellas. Got a email or 2 asking why I am keeping the ladies out, not the case. So I decided that I would show a little love cause ya'll have some fly ish too. Again, different than your average watch! S+arck baby..... Get familiar!!

NY Times writes a very well-spoken article on the Big 3

The economy is hurting and the Big 3 are in trouble. But let's be honest, they had it coming to them. They have lobbyed congress to keep things swinging their way for a long time. But with all the problems in our existing culture, it's a perfect example of "short term thinking in the long term."

The article you're about to read explains everything pretty simply. And it also goes as far as to suggest that Steve Jobs should jump in and run one of the Big 3 for a while hehe. Very interesting.

Some of the best driving i've ever seen in my life...

So a professional driver by the name of Ken Block, does some of the most amazing driving i've ever seen in my life. He combines high-speed manuever testing, drift, auto-cross, ballet dancing and pure reckless-ness in the most beautifully composed set of driving the net has seen. Enjoy!

Jumpman "Kicks" mag review pt 1

Whatever happened to these guys??

Oldie but a goodie. Method Man and Redman's album "Blackout!"

my connection to the shoe game

Blinded by the jumpman is the truth - that guy Teek can tell you anything you want to know about Jordans or Nike in general. He probably knows something about every type of shoe or shoe technology there is. Here's where I come in to play.

I'm huge into cars, and follow motorsports heavily. A driver is geared with flame-retardant suits and protective clothing, but the one thing that is absolutely designed towards success are: their shoes. Racing shoes are purposely designed with breatheable material, with appropriate flexibility to allow the driver precise movement and input at clutch, brake and throttle pedals. One of my favorite "street" shoe is the Adidas Goodyear racing shoe.

Besides the fact that it has subtle hints of carbon fiber throughout the shoe, the shoe is purposely designed to be skinny towards the center to give you the most ability to "heel-toe" shift. Heel-Toe lets you press your brake with the ball of your foot while rolling your heel towards the gas pedal. You'll do this while diving into a corner that requires you to slow down, while preparing your car for a lower gear to properly exit the corner. It's extremely difficult to do if you've never done it. Having the right shoes makes all the difference. I can barely heel-toe with my Adidas Metrum 3.5's because they are so wide and it's difficult to properly adjust how much brake energy i'd like to allow versus gas energy. Here's an example of it on video in a Subaru WRX being driven on a race course by a professional:

Bye Bye Billups, Whatupdoe A.I.

So if you are on your sports center game then you would know that there are talks of trading Billups and possibly Mcdyess back to the nuggets and bringing the "Answer" to the D. What do ya'll think????

Gucci,Gucci,Gucci,Gucci,Gucci,Gucci, JORDAN! LOL.

The tittle is a spin off of Jay John verse from "Gucci." First thing that came to my head while I was putting up the post. Anyway, I felt this deserved to get thrown up tonight due to them dropping Sat the 8th! This is going to be another Love/Hate colorway for the streets. I personally will be trying to get my hands on a pair and if successful I will run a follow up vid on them. Trust me ya'll, when I break off video reviews I come correct..not like others out here who shall remain nameless.(At least for now!) LOL. To me Jordan Brand hit it right on the head with the OG high top cut, decent leather and suede toe box. The red colorway is fly and I predict they will be sold out that day! Let me know what ya'll think....

S+arck..Crystal Clear Digi....Get Familiar!!

I know it's the dope thing now a days to rock a G-Shock, but if you don't know about Philippe S+arck then you need to get your google on ASAP! No hit to anybody that owns a Casio but don't sleep on the S+arck watches either. This is Fossil latest edition to their line up, Crystal Clear Digi. This watch is really dope! When I first saw this it reminded me of the shoe below. (You know it was coming) Enjoy....
