More Packs To Drain Your Wallet!!! – Air Jordan 2009 – Hall of Fame Pack

(^^^dude… what the hell^^^)

(^^^ a little better, but not by much^^^)

(^^^AJ 1 looks… interesting^^^)

Okay… ummmmm… I love the idea for this project. The pack currently consists of 4 sneakers – the AJ1,  AJ 3, AJ 2009, and the Six Rings.

It is sort of obvious why those particular sneakers were chosen. The Six Rings is more obvious, as well as the AJ 1 (first Air Jordan), and the AJ III (if you know some of the Jordan history, you will know that the AJ III almost didn’t happen). But the AJ 2009 seems a little bit of an odd pick. Other than being the last Air Jordan made, I don’t find the connection to the Hall of Fame very light ESPECIALLY since the last Air Jordan doesn’t carry a number after it, it carries the year it came out.

That ends the good news about this pack.

And now the bad news:

Now These I Want: Nike Air Yeezy in Black-Black and Pink Interior

(these sneakers are just amazing to look at… why are they limited???)

(a little crouded and bulky but still amazing)

When the whole idea of this sneaker came out, I was thinking to myself, yeah right this will work. I sure thought the name Air Yeezy was a crazy name to come up with (for better or worst). After a while the whole concept has grown on me. I am loving the materials, the shape and form, the colors are pretty on point and finally THE SOLES GLOW IN THE DARK. A nice touch to a nice sneaker.

Not too sure about the release of this colorway, but the  Zen Grey Air Yeezy’s release this Saturday so if your going to get them, give it a shot then.

Nike ACG + Mowabb = I Want These So Bad

(as seen on Kicks on Fire.com)

I was suppossed to slow down in my sneaker purchases this year, but how do I do this with the 1/2 Cents coming out, the possibility of a tribute AJ12 “Flu”, and the possible release of the Space Jam AJ11. Plus there are so many other brands of sneakers brings some sort of heat this year, how do I stay away from them?

And now this? My wallet can’t take much more of this. The retro movement continues…

Are These Fake? Air Jordan 2009 – White Red and Black

They look alright. Sort of a a Holy Grail Air Jordan 6 flavor but with more white…. but is it fake? Even if they are fake, I think the Jordan team would do well adobting some of that colorway. I think a white and red version of the Air Jordan 2009 (without the black or maybe less black) would look good.

FYI

Jordan may pull off the AJ2009 if he gets those colorways right and those materials on point. Let the patent leather go (maybe one pair can get it but the rest, please use something else) and go with rich leather or soft brush leather (like on the black and red AJ14’s).

Olympic Sneakers and Shoes: adiStar Weightlifting

Hope your wallet is ready: 200 Dollars for these.

I’m having a tough time finding out who is wearing what and so forth, but at least I know that somebody is wearing these. For weightlifting shoes, these things look hot. I would get them just to walk around in although I am sure that they are not as cushioned as megabounce.

I have a pair of Nike Shox that I use in the gym when I’m more or less stationary doing lifts and pushes (when I’m running I choose my Air Max 360 Rejuvenation or my adidas Megabounce “Rainbow Brights” (more on that later)). Did I mention that I have not gone to the gym yet even though I paid for the whole year? Did I mention that the year is up and I’m going to pay for the next year and have not planned on when I am going to go?

LMAO

Here is the low down on the adiStar Wightlifting:

You got to love it. The cost? 200 Dollars!!! That is allot of weight lifting for my wallet (and they aint even Eggplant Foamposites!!! lol) If you have the fashion sense and want the optimum in weight lifting ability, you are gonna get what the Olympians are wearing… and that is the end of my commercial.

Push It To The Limit!!! Air Jordans Taking Over… the cover of XXL

Check out this comment from Nicekicks.com: Why was Rick Ross go shirt-less for this cover shoot? It looks like the air in the AJ9’s is about to blow up. Khaled’s face says it all. He looks scared and puzzled. BTW, he has the Chinese 1’s on.

LOL I haven’t had a featured comment in a while, but that is pretty close to one (hell, I think it is one). Nicekicks says that the countdown Pack 14/9 are back at Finishline. As many stated in the comments, the AJ9 is pretty popular… the 14 not so much. This might be the reason why you can still get this pack while the Countdown Pack 6/17 is nowhere to be found.

This was also a “Check Out My Footwork” post on The Shoe Game.com. While everybody named all the sneakers, no one said a word about what Trina was wearing. I do not know if its part of her new clothing line that is coming out or something she was just wearing. At any rate, it is interesting.

Anyone know what shoe Trina (the only woman in the picture) is wearing????

Nicekicks.com Lookbook: PPG x Pony City Wings Lo FOOTACTION EXCLUSIVE

Wow!!! Just Wow!!! OMG!!!

Pony has hooked up with a company called PPG that has a process that gives cars their shine called Vivaflex and has put in on its shoes (if I am reading what is on the site correctly). It looks like what Jordan has on its Spiz’ike sneakers (I even think Jordan wanted it on its AJ 14’s but the technology wasn’t there) except WAAAYYY more polished.

Just take a look at this detail found on Nikekicks:

In Sneaker News: The Walking Bike – On Current.com

The Walking Bike // Current

 

Sooooooo… does anybody recognize the sneakers and shoes currently posing as wheels on this bike? Good because I don’t! I only see 2 I recognize and the rest are drawing a blank.I do, at least, know the sneaker brands represented… well except for that white and red sneaker at the top of the front “wheel” and the gray sneaker.

If you can name them, the post it in the comments, I’ll edit the post to recognize your supremeness and sneaker savvy. If your wondering where my sneaker savvy is, well I’m new to this game! lol

And now the video (this thing actually works??? LMAO)

 I wouldn’t ride the thing to work, but it would seem a great way to get some excirsize. Then again, you could run in one pair of sneakers.

By the way, has anybody noticed that he picked some of the coolest sneakers to become a wheel? Is that an adidas Y-3? And those Air Force One low with the green gum is fresh! I must have missed it when those came out. Here is a closer look at the front wheel:

Custom Sneakers by LouLou – echslectir

Decided to browse Flickr after months of totally ignoring on of the best places to see sneaker shots and this is one of the first pics I have seen. I think i is a interesting custom job that is very kid like and best of all, it features poop.

Yes, you read it right; poop.

On the side of this custom is what I think most people would interped as poop:

 

I know you see it… you can defiantly see if on another pair of sneakers here. Take a look at other shots that belong to echslectir

adidas HOMECOOKED and the EQT B-Ball Low

Adidas Homecooked Collection on Eastbay

 

 

ONLY ON EASTBAY (at least I think so)

 

 Oh and that’s not all. There is more! I saw this on the catalog that Eastbay send you and I was pretty intriged when I saw it. So I looked at the online Eastbay site and BAM there it is. So far I count 7 different teams. A girly as the Miami one looks (shown above), it is one of the best looking ones in the collection so far.

If you get the whole team, it will set you back a few pennies. More than 300 dollars. I guess adidas figures that it your willing to pay 310 dollars for 2 Air Jordans, then you will pay 300+ for 4 item, ESPECIALLY since it is popular in a few cities including NYC.

More on the collection and my fabulous opinion of it later.
