OMG they are coming! I am totally excited about this. It is an instant collectible no question!!! It is a re-release (which means it was released before and from what I remember, no one wanted it LOL)

There are some more info on what will be coming out in winter 08 and here is a couple of examples:

ir Jordan 1 Retro
136085-161
White/Midnight Navy/Metallic Silver/Varsity Red
$100.00

Air Jordan 1 Retro High LS
332134-061
Black/White/Varsity Red
$125.00

And the comments!!! Good lawd there are over 100 comments on Sneakerfiles about this sneaker coming out. I thought that they would stop the retros for a while, but since this sneaker is coming out in 2008, I guess it still falls under the “no more retros” after 2008.

I don’t know if I will get these… and it makes me wonder if these are being released separately, then what is suppossed to be in the Jordan Countdown Pack 22+1?


Is LeBron leaving the Cavs? Nike Zoom Lebron 5 Yankees

On Yahoo sports: Lebron On His Way to NY?

I don’t like the LeBron 5 but their are some colorways that are coming out that are either pretty good or great. Ok, ok… that is not the point here. The issue at hand is will Lebron leave once the new Nets stadium is built? Remember, King James is closely connected to one of the owners of the Nets… Jay-Z. Also remember that there will be (maybe) a new Nets stadium in Brooklyn? Interesting…

This:

Plus this:

LeBron Yankee 5- part II

Equals: Lebron James coming to the NY Nets 2010

 

The Cavs are worried. Having sneakers like the Mr. Basketball and now the Zoom LeBron Yankees and events such as the 2 Kings (second annual no less) could mean that when the time is right, he will leave Ohio. Plus after that performance in NY against the Knicks a couple of days ago, I can bet people are going to wonder what it will be like if he played for NYC. Just look at these shots of him playing at MSG:

LeBron Playing in the Zoom 5 Yankees… too crazy

this is just 2 of the points scored of the 50 that night (source: The Shoe Game)

 

Yes sir, March 5 2008 will go down in history. LeBron scored 50 points and the Cavs won 119-105. LeBron got 10 assists and 8 rebounds.

Sneakerfiles has some incredible shots of the shoe if you want more.


Nike Air Zoom 5 and The Blueman Group

Just to let yall know, I NEVER LIKED THIS SNEAKER!!! It has its good looks, don’t get me wrong, but its just too much. It looks like a football sneaker rather than a basketball one. It is part of what it called The Blueman Group Pack of sneakers.

What the other sneakers will look like you ask? I don’t know. You can’t have a “pack” if there is only one pair of sneakers. I would love to see this on Nike iD where you can make up some awesome crap of colors to match your bright yellow I LOVE NY t-shirt.

What do I like about this sneaker? That gem thing. That gem thing is very likable. Sneakerfiles.com has some more shots of this sneaker if you want to actually look at more pictures of  them.


Plain, Simple and Good: Nike Dunk Cognac

Nike Dunk Low and High Premium iD – Cognac – Sneakerfiles.com

 I think this is great! Just fantastic… well maybe not fantastic, but its pretty good. It is definiatly a grown and sexy look. It is a nice smooth brown that will really go with anything. You might get away with going to the club that has a somewhat high dress code.

According to Sneakerfiles, this is a House of Hoops design (or an exclusive, not sure). While I like the hi-tops, the low top sneakers do look better. Check it out on Sneakerfiles
