Air Jordan Retro 9 "Unpowder" Video Review

Our video breakdown on the Jordan Retro 9 unpowder. Enjoy!!

Nike World Basketball Festival Day 1,2,3

So we were waiting for more footage to post before we put it up. This is taken from this past weeks World Basketball Festival that took place in New York. Performances from Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, etc took place. Radio City stage was transformed into a basketball court for the evening. Select kids from around NY had a really cool opportunity to have a great experience with some of their favorite NBA players. Take a look at the footage and let us know what you think!






Gourmet The 26 – Fall/Winter 2010

Gourmet appears to be taking a little different approach with their lineup for later this year. At first glance these almost remind us of Rockport sneakers from back in the day! (World Tours) They hit you with what appears to be some type of tumbled leather which should be pretty comfortable if done right! You will be able to chose from the carmel or black colorway once these release.

ATMOS X REEBOK INSTA PUMP FURY “ORIGINAL MESH” PACK

We reported on these a little over a month ago and told you all that this was going to be a overseas release only. Well today they have already released in Atmos Tokyo. Get with your international connects if you are looking to grab this classic. You more than likely will be able to find these on Ebay as well.



SUPRA TK SOCIETY AUGUST 2010

Supra will be launching 2 more colors late this month in Terry Kennedy signature shoe. From a quality perspective this nice suede and leather combo with vulcanized sole appear to be pretty comfortable. If the "high" top look is your thing the look for these to hit shelves soon.


Nike Lunar Elite Trail Mid QS – (Grey/Pink) + (Blue/Orange)

The whole Lunar lineup this year has to be an SSD favorite around these parts. If you are yet to add an Lunar "whatever" to your collection yet, then you better catch up! These popped up on the internet and rumored to be very limited with quantities. Not available yet in U.S. for sale but have started popping up over seas this past week. Lunar Elite appears to come in some sort of a mid top trail runner. Keep you posted if they make there way around these part in this colorway.





Nike Dunk High – ‘Dubai’ – Employee Only

Don't expect these to ever hit stores! Nike Dunk High pairs made for the employees at Nike AGS (Austria, Germany, Switzerland) dubbed the ‘Dubai Dunk’ was giving to employees after winning an internal competition in Dubai. Pretty cool gift for the winners huh? We believe that somebody might end up trying to put a pair on ebay soon! LOL. Very dope colorway whoever at the labs cooked up.



Michael Jordan Breakfast Club Recap

Jordan Brand pushed their annual "breakfast club" at Rucker Park this year in NY to go along with the World Basketball Festival. Local kids from the community got a chance to play with Carmelo, Chris Paul, and D.Wade for a few rounds. Later they got to listen to them tell personal stories about the game and growing up with a passion to play ball. Michael Jordan later showed up to donate $23,000 to the charities that were involved with the event.

The kids in attendance got to go home with Jordan shoes, t-shirts, and even some pretty cool hoop shorts. Michael Jordan kills us rocking this full out jump suit in 90 degree + weather! Lol. Take a look below from some pretty cool shots that were taken at the event.









Nike World Basketball Festival Day 2

As promised...part 2 of the World Basketball Festival.

New York is definitely the place to be at this week. Just as we see the "UNC" collection at the HoH...we see Atmos putting on their own display and it is mean!!! Looking a little closer at these you now see a "Laser etched" 3m reflective pattern on the upper of the shoes. Chances of these actually hitting retail.......0! LOL.

Air Jordan “FTLOTG” Display @ House of Hoops in NY

Twitter and the Internetz have been going crazy today over the pictures of the "North Carolina" blue covered Jordans. These pictures were taken at the New York House of Hoops for the World Basketball Festival. The Jordan 1-2010 was all dressed up in the UNC blue and no word at all if Jordan Brand will even release them. Our bets are that they are not...but you never know. Stay tuned and let us know what you think about the display.

Nike Air Max 180 Black Ink Photo Blue

The Air Max 180 is always a clean classic you can count on Nike to re-release almost every year now. Black and Royal blue color combo set these off even more, especially if you are not looking to get the mesh all dirty like on the white ones. These should be out at select accounts now for the August lineup!

New Air Jordan Potential Release Info Altitude XIIIs Cardinal VIIs

Shout out the $Maze again over @KATC.com for the potential release info from one of his many credible sources. This information comes out of the blue but not that far fetched when referring to Jordan Brand. Word is that the Altitude 13's might peak it's head back in the rotation sometime around holiday 2010 right before the cool grey release. For summer of 2011 we may even see the cardinals return as well. This could be another really good look for Jordan Brand if they decide to go through with it! Keep it locked to SSD for additional information as we get it.

*Pictures below are past release models...no official picutures of actual retros as of yet.
