New Jays are hot… there is a lot to these new sneaks so head over to Darren Rovell to read the full interview, here is a little about them:
The shoe was designed by Chicago native Jason Mayden, not the usual Tinker Hatfield. It features a chassis that’s meant to mimic blown glass, which means that each shoe is technically different in its pattern. The pleats in the shoe are really a nice touch. Shoe designers can learn from the simplicity of this, instead of the hodgepodge garbage we’ve seen of recent. Read more…
Kobe introducing the New Kobe Zoom IV’s … a low top joint that is kindof fresh… check out parts 2-5 after the bump… and then another interview with CNBC’s Darren Rovell
This is Nigo, creater of one of the of the most influential clothing labels worldwide. An interview with complex magazine in advance of the 15 year anniversary of BAPE is after the jizzump. Read more…
These joints are hot. Nike and the AF1′s have the market cornered. These joints are like the 2000 Honda Civics of sneakers. Check out this cats myspace page and check out all of the other 1′s that he has customized. His shit is sick. Here are a couple of my faves:
More from Inside Nike, which airs tonight on CNBC and for the next few Tuesdays. Also a slide show from a factory making kicks, doesn’t look like a sweatshop to me…
These aren’t Nike’s but they are still hella hella fresh. Called Adidas – Material of the World – Carnival of Venice Micropacer’s. You can read up on them at the freshnessmag.com. Plus more pics too. The only problem is that you may have to go to Berlin to pick up a pair. If you go, hook me up!
I see cats that I know can’t ball wearing Jordans all-the-time, so is it cool if i rock the Nike Skateboarding Dunks even if I know that my ollie and lip trick game isn’t like it used to be? I say yes, these are just too hot. On sale in February these hot dunk mids inspired by the Fender Bass guitar will be finding themselves in my shoe rotation. Nike is the best I tell you… I thought you knew already
This should be pretty good, its a look inside Nike, the greatest company in the world in my mind. A CNBC original documentary “Swoosh! Inside Nike” which will premiere on Tuesday, February 12th at 10PM and 1AM ET, pre-empting “The Big Idea With Donny Deutsch.” The show repeats on Monday, February 18th at 9PM & 12AM ET and Sunday, February 24th at 10PM ET. This should be good, if only for the interviews and seeing Phil Knight in HiDef, that should be interesting.
Another GREAT commercial. My question is… who are the guys working on Jordan stuff when it comes to every other Nike thing. All of Mike’s ads are so much better than everyone else. I mean they have good stuff for everyone else, like my favorite of all time the Lance Armstrong Magnet commercial, but damn.. all the Mike stuff is at a 15 when everyone else is at an 8 or 9. Here is a clip, more on how they got to the Jordan XX3, and the previously mentioned Lance Armstrong Magnet commercial follows that.
Wow… Mike and Nike have done it again… In the picture Mike is holding the new sneaks, the Air Jordan XX3. The shoe will be in limited release at first with a price tag at $230 if you can find them, the reason being is that they are originally only going to be sold at 23 retailers… Unless of course one of those retailers is footlocker. After the initial run, the shoes will settle at a tag of $185. There have rumors circulating that this is the last pair or J’s since Mikes number was 23 and this is edition number 23, so you may even catch me in line trying to buy a couple. Imagine what the price for a crispy pair of these would be on eBay in a month or so. More pics from the freshnessmag post:
There are endless possibilities here too with the Air Jordan Sneaker game these days… Since nike can’t get away with the eBay prices for their shoes, well, sort of… how about like series of shoes. Imagine a big game series: the shoes where he dropped 55 on New York, the shoes from the 63 on the Celtics, the sneaks from the shot over Craig Ehlo, and the shot over Byron Russell. Or like a series of each pair he wore in the finals. And then of course, the collection of every pair made from 1-23, a write up on each one, a dvd of all the commercials, maybe throw in a signed 8×10 or something, and a few jerseys all enclosed in a big ass glass case.. If i had the loot i would buy that shit…
check out jumpman23.com and waste some time looking over the history of Jordans… My top five goes: Jordan III, Jordan IV, Jordan IX, Jordan XII, and Jordan XVIII, What about you?
