This is HOT: Upper Deck Jordan 86-87 Autograph Bulls Jersey
Upper Deck Jordan 86-87 Autograph Bulls Jersey – EASTBAY
The Cost: 1,899.99
Gooood lawd have mercys on my wallet! I saw this while I was looking for some Jordan lifestyle clothing… man, I knew Eastbay carried stuff like this, but this is ridiculous. I wonder if this has to do with all the hoopla that is going to start next month when the general release of the XX3 comes out.
Eastbay even has some jerseys for those who want the full Jordan look when they go back to school after spring break (unless you feel uncomfortable wearing a 1600 dollar jersey). So while your wearing your Jordan jacket with you Jordan jersey and your Jordan leather baseballcap, you can wear you brand new AJ XX3 stealth.
On Sale: Converse Men’s Red All Star Mend It Patch on Eastbay
Converse Men’s Red All Star Mend It Patch
Red/Multi Colored – Eastbay
Price: 74.99
A really cool looking sneaker AND its for a good cause too! This sneaker is part of the Red Collection and some money goes to the fight against AIDS. Here is the description of the sneaker from Eastbay:
Whether you do it because they’re cool or because they’re RED™, it’s a good choice all around. The CONVERSE (PRODUCT) RED™ All Star is a casual shoe with a worthy cause — buy a pair today and money goes to The Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. It’s a great reason to invest in a great shoe. The CONVERSE (PRODUCT) RED™ All Star features a canvas upper and a rubber outsole. 5% of the net wholesale price of this shoe will be paid to The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (Geneva, Switzerland). No part of the purchase price is deductible under US law.
I think Converse makes some really cool sneakers (and comfortable) and the fact that they make these very important sneakers actually look good while they are doing good is a great thing. The hi-top version might not be as bold, but its still cool. Same price too.
I’m mad that there are not any sizes bigger than 11 but they have sizes as small as 3… what’s up with that?
Air Jordan Countdown 23 Pack BEGINS: 10 + 13 Collezione Package
Finishline: Air Jordan Men’s Retro XIII/X Collezione Package
What the hell is a “Collezione”?
Looks like the Air Jordan Countdown Pack: 10 + 13 has come… AND GONE today. I knew they were limited, but it turns out that they were more limited than the usual limited (but less than the ultra limited UNC flavored ones). Each place that got them only got 2 or 3 of every size… that just seems lame and I hope its not true. A good idea to make it limited, but lame that it is so limited.
Well, at least it isn’t just 23 stores (mostly in a few areas around the US), it was in every store that has a lifestyle account. Eastbay has them… but only for the kids… and they are sold out already… and only 2 per customer if they had any.
Finishline had them, but they are gone too. Check out there description:
This instant collector’s item was created to celebrate the 23rd Anniversary of the Air Jordan Signature footwear line. This first package includes the Air Jordan Retro 10 and the Air Jordan Retro 13, both in original colorways.
Finishline usually does better than that in thier descriptions, but then again maybe it didn’t need describing. Eastbay practically wrote a paper on them (remember, the decription is for the kids… I couldn’t even find the adult ones their):
The Jordan Collezione 13/10 offers double the style that parents have come to expect from Brand Jordan. This two-pack of shoes commemorates the legacy of the Air Jordan franchise, and includes the Jordan Retro X and the Jordan Retro XIII — the ultimate Jordan shoes for champions in the making. The Jordan Retro X blends exceptional cushioning, stability, comfort and fit in a lightweight, mid-cut basketball shoe. A full-grain leather and nubuck upper with a Dynamic-Fit™ sleeve offers a superior fit. Gore-Tex® reinforces the eyestays, and the sockliner is made of durable polyurethane. It also has a Phylon™ midsole with a full-length Air-Sole® unit. The solid rubber outsole contains anatomically correct flex grooves for excellent traction. The Jordan Retro XIII is constructed with an EVA-backed, full-grain leather upper with suede trim and a unique hidden lacing system. There is a low-profile, suede-wrapped Phylon™ midsole with heel and forefoot Zoom Air™ units. Other features include a midfoot carbon fiber composite plate and a solid rubber outsole with herringbone pods and Optimal Motion pattern.
Oh and do not forget, these are collectibles. I am sure someone out there put them on their feet and is wearing them right now. Unless you bought 2 pair or just don’t care at all, you will not wear them.
Not my favorite pack though… I’m waiting for the 14 + 9 and especially the 16 + 7 . The 22 + 1 will also be a treat, but a brother has to stay on budget, plus their are other Jordans to get including the Air Jordan Force 5 Fusion, AJ 15 SE and AJ 14.5.
Get close up shots of the box at Nicekick.com. They have some great shots.
White and Red Air Jordan 23 Real?

From Sneakerfiles: Top 23 Stores Getting the Air Jordan XX3 on Jan 25 2008
Air Jordan 23 will release the really ultra-special edition using colorways based off of Jordans time in College at UNC. It would seem that from this pick of colors, Micheal Jordan holds his time in College very high on his list of accomplishments. Other wise why pick the UNC colors? He could have easily picked the Bulls black on black with red as his ultra-exclusive colorway.
I wonder if anyone else will pick that up? Anyway here is a short list of the exclusive places this sneaker will be at:
House of Hoops (268 West 125Th New York, NY 10027)
Footlocker (43-45 West 34th Street New York, NY 10001)
Champs (5 Times square New York, NY 10036)
Footaction (430 7th Ave New York, NY 10001)
Finishline (Fox hills Mall, 167 Fox Hills Mall, Culver City, CA 90230)
DTLR (Columbia Mall 10300 Little Patuxent Parkway Columbia, MD 21044)
Jimmy Jazz (224 E Fordham Rd Bronx, NY 10458)
NikeTown SF (278 Post Street San Francisco, CA 94108)
NikeTown LA (9560 Willshire Blvd #102 Los Angeles, CA 90212)
NikeTown Chi-Town (669 N Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL 60611)
NikeTown NYC (6 East 57th Street New York, NY 10022)
This IS NOT the full list. Check out Sneakerfiles for the whole list. Most places seem to be in NYC. Hopefully by Monday I will post a wrap up of what Jordan plans on doing with Air Jordan 23 including release dates and more places to get this ultra special edition sneaker (keep in mind sizes are ALSO limited in each store as each store gets only 23 pairs of sneakers). Oh and for all of you NYC fans (where I live), keep in mind that allot of the places are easy to get to (except Niketown… that is a good walk from the train station). Don’t drive unless you can afford the parking…
Super Cat Hi from Dr. Jays
Dr. Jays.com – Baby Phat – Super Cat Hi
Price: 70.00
Not bad! Not bad at all. I have to say that I like it. The color is good (except for that teal green strap looking thing), the baby phat cat is in the right place, and the all over print at the ankle just ankles this look real edible. Plus I like the gum looking soul of the sneak.
I wonder if that purple lace is what the sneaker comes with or not… oh and yes, this is for the ladies if you couldn’t tell. Dr. Jays has different views of the sneaker so take a look. They also have those related items… they actually are related. I love those jeans and that jacket is a good look. (Get the shirt too… and the shoes… yeah I know you are already getting the sneakers lol) I love Baby Phat jeans. there is something about the cat on the back of a woman’s butt that just turns me on.
Long live Baby Phat! Another color is available too if you like (I think its sort of wack… but I’m not a girl so…)
What the… Nike Men’s SBAir Force 25
Nike Men’s SBAir Force 25 6 Pack
Safety Orange/Varsity Purple – Eastbay
Price: 199.99
What in the flying heck is this? Found this while looking for cool sneakers (or odd sneakers) on Eastbay and came across this.
This seems to be part of some 6 pack, but I only see 4 of them: (more…)
Fila Helmsmen Lookin Alot Like Prada?
Reebok x Kool-Aid…. LMAO
Kool-Aid x Reebok Collection – TheShoeGame
lol
LMAO
The sneaker looks like any other regular Reebok classic sneaker. But if you look at the bottom (pictured above) you will realize you are walking on flavored sugar water. Another change to the classic Reebok sneaker is the… what is that called… the medial??? Anyway, the interior has the Kool-aid smile.
It looks ok. Head over to TheShoeGame to see more shots. Imagine: Kool-Aid sneakers with a Kool-Aid hoody, hats and t-shirts. Good lawd I want this lol but its still funny as hell.
I sort of wish that this was Vans or adidas that Kool-Aid teamed up with though… oh and by the way, I saw a great big advertisment on a NYC bus a few days ago saying that this will be sold at V.I.M. so you might wanna check there for them. Oh part 2: Take a look at what Sneakerfiles has to say about the sneaker too. All this cool sugar rush fun is scheduled to come out on February 1 2008,
New Back To School Pack = The Notebook Collection
Nike Notebook Collection + More ‘08 Catalog Pics
Here is the first Back to School pack with the composition dunks. Apparently Nike loves the idea of the composition look and is creating another pack of sneakers that all have the composition look.
This time the composition is not a dunk, it is a Vandal, Air Max 90 and a Dunk low (so if you have the hightop dunk and you get this pack, not you will have both hi and low of the same design).
To me the Vandal looks the best but the second best looks the coolest: The Air Max 90 will probably get more points even though it is not the best looking. The low Dunk seems lame… but considering that you could match it up with your hightop, I have to say it belongs.
How much will all of this cost? Well, based off of the last pack, I will guess that the normal prices of each sneaker will stand. So whatever the current Vandal costs (or the Air Max 90 and Dunk Lo) will be the cost of the notebook look.
Set to release in August (and hopefully Nike will actually release it when they say).
OH AND CHECK OUT THE OTHER STUFF THE SHOE GAME POSTED IN THE SAME POST WITH THE NOTEBOOK COLLECTION!!! Some of what Nike will release in 08 Air Wildwood (never heard of it), Huarache 08, Air Flightposite, more dunks and other retro sneakers.
Gourmet Makes Smooth Jordan Like Sneakers
Gourmet Summer 2008 Footwear Line Up
Gourmet maybe be trying to get sued out of existence… but before that happens they are making some really cool sneakers.
I thing one thing is very true: if Jordan did this, it would be wack as hell. Ok, maybe not wack as hell, but it would most likely be looked at as wack. Jordan would have to ease us into the idea that he can make this type of sneaker.
I have been into earth tones and greys for a while now so for me the best looking one out of all of these are these pictured above. I can see the other shots pictures on The Shoe Game being popular but this looks the best to me.
Now as for whether or not they can actually make a sneaker that look so similar to Jordan… I say maybe. if Gourmet can prove that no one would seriously look at these sneakers as Air Jordans then it may be ok. Butthen again the design is so simular to AJ’s that they could sue… I don’t think Jordan would win though but… you know what I am going to research this one and get back to you.
I still want a pair though for the summer. Real cool.
On Sale: Retro Air Zoom Flight 96 on Eastbay
Nike Men’s Air Zoom Flight
Black/White/Royal – Eastbay
Price 119.99
I do not know when Eastbay got them, but they have them. I had these (not this color) way back when but I didn’t get them in 1996. I got them in 97 when they were on sale for about 80 something dollars.
I am not sure that this is a remake of a retro color. Personally, I don’t like this colorway but I like the idea of these coming back. but there is only one true hot colorway that can really come back and that is the grey scale colorway.
Anyway, I hope these come out in other colors (including the shades of grey). I don’t know if those colors will work but it will still be interesting.
Take a look at this from the Shoe Game. I love the 95 Flights but… not that color. The 96 looks great though.
Air Jordan 1 + Levi’s 501 = 23-501 Package
Air Jordan 1- Levi’s x Jordan 23/ 501 Package – TheShoeGame
In a brilliant move, Brand Jordan has decided to do a joint project with Levi’s to create this pretty handsome sneaker. As part of the pack is supposed to include the sneakers pictured above, a pair of jeans, and a t-shirt.
This is not just a simple pack, it is very unique and I think historic as well. The price of the 23/501 package will be 395 USD and is supposed to come out March 1 of 2008.
If the picture above makes you say, “Nice” then you got to see the other pictures on The Shoe Game with plenty of details. Air-Randy.com also has the sneakers for sale on its site if you want the sneakers early.
Wait A Minute… Air Jordan 24???
Air Jordan XX4 (24) Conceived! -From Sneakerfiles.com
What happened to “Air Jordan 23 will be the last one“???
Below is the special edition AJ 23
So wait a minute here… according to Sneakerfiles, the guys at Brand Jordan have completed (or almost completed) work on the Air Jordan 24. Now this is my theory:
- With sneakers, much like cars, you have to start the deign process early… depending on what you are trying to do it could be a 2 to 5 year cycle or more
- They (Brand Jordan) decided to make Air Jordan 23 the last one after they almost finished AJ24 (and any related lifestyle products like sweat pants, jackets and junk)
- They got the new contract with Nike for another 22 years after negotiations and one of the stipulations was to continue with the Air Jordan main line of sneaker (Team Jordan, retros, and special player sneakers were never effected)
Now no one AS OF YET has said that there will be a AJ24… they just said that they have developed it. My personal view of this is that brand Jordan would do better if it did not continue the Micheal Jordan basketball sneaker Air Jordan beyond 23. Going forward will muddy the waters of what is a classic sneaker line. Sure, coninue the team jordan sneakers, player excusives, fusions, retros and even remakes of whatever, but no more Air Jordans.
What they CAN do that will be somewhat respected from the sneaker community is that if the line does continue, it will be straight casual sneakers not made for the court specifically. Air Jordan 24 (since they made it already) can be a limited edition only sold at NikeTowns and whatnot… one colorway only. After that AJ 25-45 (I assume that 45 will be the new number that they will not go beyond) will be casual sneakers that may be played on the court but is really for just chillin. It will be along the lines of Jordans first (and second) retirement type of look (which I hated… so maybe not so much EXACTLY like that).
Anyway, I look forward to hearing what Sneakerfiles and other bloggers) have to say about this.
Air Jordan 5 + Air Force One: Black and Blue
Air Jordan Force 5 NOW on Air-Randy.com
I like the AFJ5. I like it more than the AFJ12. I can’t wait to see it and buy it. I never bought anything from Air-Randy but many sites mention him by name all the time. So I guess it is a safe place to buy these types of items if you want to be the first one in your neighborhood to get them.
I am not to sure about this colorway though… but being first has so much cool factor that you probably will ignore it.
Air Jordan XX3 Low on The Shoe Game
Air Jordan XX3 Low White/ Navy : On The ShoeGame.com
I think I really need to look at this in person. It doesn’t jump off the page like the new pictures of the AJ 23′s (and believe me, I thought the AJ 23 was going to look horrible), but its still looks interesting.
Oh and if you want details… The Shoe Game got details! here is an example: (more…)
Supra Skytop Camo… it looks okay…
Supra Skytop Green Camo – Sneakerfiles.com
I like the style but not the green camo look. Maybe it looks better in real life but I just don’t see it working unless you buy a whole outfit to go with it.
I mean lets face it, this is for casual wear. What are you going to get with this thing?
Anyway, my personal favorite is this one... the others don’t do it for me, but its a cool look if you can hang with it.
Top 10 Sneakers… according to Chris Vidal
Top 10 Sneakers of 2007 – Chris Vidal
You know what time of the year it is when you start seeing top ten lists all over the place (unless you are on Digg.com of which you will see lists all the time). Well, here is another list for ya. Do you have any of this sneakers? I don’t!!!! I agree with most of the list especially those Foamposites and the Grey Spizikes.
Take a look at the list. Every pic has a picture and a reason why its on the list. Man, why did I get the “Do The Right Thing” Spiz’ikes? I should have gotten the Grey’s… Oh well.

Jordan Men’s AJF 12
White/Black/Taxi on EASTBAY
Air Jordan 23 – Limited Edition University Blue from Sneakerfiles
Straight out the mouths of Sneakerfiles.com
The more I see of the new (and last) Air Jordan 23, the more I like it. Now this. I even like the pattern. It has a classic look to it; kinda like those sox your grandfather used to wear with his suits.
I do not like that “fin” in the back of the new (and last… did I say that before?) Air Jordan 23. I look forward to reading that Slam article on these and the other colorways of this last non-team, non-retro, non-lifestyle, king of all sneakers…
Nicekicks and Sole provides some more pictures of this sneaker with its crystal like soul. Just in case you are lazy, here is one shot: (more…)
Hey ladies! Get Your Jordan Deluxe Travel Bag!!!
Jordan Women’s Deluxe Travel Bag – Dark Cinder- Eastbay
Price: 69.99
This looks pretty good. I will admit that I can see someone with this bag. It matches a sneaker that has come out for women so I guess if your going for the match, then here you go.
Here is the description snatched from Eastbay:
The Jordan Deluxe Travel Bag offers plenty of storage for those on the go. A tough, synthetic leather exterior with nylon lining holds essentials in a large main compartment. A hidden zippered pocket and attached coin purse hold valuables or small items. Front snap-close pocket, embroidery on side panel and attached Jumpman key fob.
What is a key fob? I wonder if he will make this in a leather or croc? I can see this in a croc, I guess. Well, this is a good look for the ladies and I think guys will appreciate the fact that Jordan is all over the bag. Ladies, now guys will think your cool!!!
Happy New Year 2008!!!
Hello one and all! I wish everyone a very blessed and happy New year! I want to thank all the visitors (even the bots who come by and try to spam my blog) and sneaker fans sites who link to me.
I would also like to thank all those who expect to see car rims gallor and have yet to see it happen LOL. I have like 7 blog posts in the wings that I haven’t posted yet fro the new Knight Rider (I don’t like the rims… they should have put shields on them) to why Bumble Bee Camaro is so hot (its the shoes I am telling ya). I also found this cool site with plenty of nice rims (and tire sets) on it.
I would also like to thank a few websites too:
