Fastest Sneaker Ever Sold: Air Jordan 23 White and Red SOLD OUT
For a general release (men sizes only… now that doesn’t seem very “general release” to me), this sneaker went fast. Hell, online it was sold out before Midnight ever came! Now how do you sell out something that isn’t suppossed to be sold until 12am May 31 08? LOL
I am a little ticked off by this whole episode. I know Jordans get sold out, but this was ridiculous. Many sites had a “you can only buy 2″ policy so that makes me wonder just how they sold out so quickly. I love Finishline, but they didn’t even have the sneaker at 12:30am!!! Either they sold really fas or they were available way before Midnight.
As for Eastbay, I actually had the sneaker in my cart. I added a few other things I wanted (which took me all of 5 minutes to add) and when I go to the checkout, they gone!!! They took it out of my cart! I was robbed!!!
I figure all is lost.
But then I head over to Sneakerfiles.com and they say (in the comments) that its still available at Nike.com so I go their and they got my size. I never ordered anything from Nike.com so it seemed a little strange entering all that personal data, but at least it is officially ordered. Now all I can do is hope they don’t tell me later that they don’t have any and its back ordered.
Anyway, its been a rough Saturday. Not allot of posts from the fab four of sneaker sites so far and as for me, I’m headed toward work so I won’t be able to post until I get back. Hope yall got the sneaker if you wanted it.
Attack of the Sharkley’s!!! – Carlos Boozer, Ben Gordan, Tayshun Prince PE’s
Finishline got a couple of cool Sharkleys (Price 84.99)
(Will the Sharkleys be the hit of the Summer 2008?)
I wish there was one place that showed all the Sharkleys… Oh wait, Sneakernews.com seems to be doing just that LOL (at least from what I can see). You can see as many Sharkleys as you want over there. I’ll tell you what; I need a pair of these (I’m sure family members will understand)
Straight shiny heat!!! Damn you House of Hoops!!! Harlem is a long way from where I live (NYC is a big place… that is allot of sidewalk). I never heard of LTD Online but Sneakernews says you can get them from there.
Here are some more links from Sneakernews.com
> Nike Sharkley – Ben Gordon PE
> Nike Sharkley – Tayshaun Prince PE

Now that is allot of Sharkleys!!! All with many angles of what the sneaker looks like. Head over to Sneakernews for more (links above).
EDIT:
The Shoe Game.com has some more pictures of the Sharkleys so check them out also.
News From Sneakernews.com: Alife + Rivington Club Courtyard Clearance Sale
You know, I live in NYC and I never been to this store???? What the hell is that about? I am like an hour and a couple of minutes away from this place. I coulda went today. Man, you know what, I’ll be glad when I can work the AM shift cause I am so used to the PM that I sleep all day and get up at 2pm. OK, ok, that would actually work very well, but lately I’ve been sleeping WAY past 2 and getting up like around 5-6pm. LMAO, can’t handle much business after 5PM ladies and gentlemen.
Anyway, here is the location on Google Maps (Google Maps has gone a long way from where it started… I can damn near shop/travel just using the map and Google Shopping… but I still like Yahoo Maps better lol). All info about the sale is on Sneakernews.com
PS
Tell me why CitySearch gave me the ALIFE in Manhattan when I put in the Brooklyn address? lol I’m a dumnass… it IS in Manhattan. I must be tired…
On TheShoeGame.com: Alife x Barneys New York “Soft Hand Pack”
TheShoeGame.com – Sneakers and Information » Alife x Barneys New York “Soft Hand Pack”
As seen on The Shoe Game.com. It is a collaboration that has happened before and is now happening again. I like it but a few commenter’s on the Shoe Game were not so pleased lol. I think they have some grown and sexy qualities while still being a little brash. Not exactly the best of both worlds, but its still pretty cool to me.
3 different styles and all sold exclusively at Barney’s nationwide. If you are headed toward NYC, you should come see the one on Madison Ave.
EDIT:
More info on SneakerNews.com…. same pictures but with more links lol
On Sale: Finishline has the Air Jordan PHLY High Basketball Shoe
For whatever reasons, I do not see this around allot. I have seen in one a few people, but no where near as many as I thought their would be. I go downtown tomorrow (a place I haven’t been in a while) and I hope to see that at least the stores are carring them.
Finishline has 3 different colorways. As far as national sneaker and sports retailers who sell online, I have only seen the Jordan PHLY on Finishline. Maybe I missed it somehow. I have seen colorways for the sneaker that is pure heat, but they are not on sale online.
Weird.
The Air Jordan PHLY is a tribute to a highschool coach who got Jordan on the right track. You won’t believe that Jordan being cut from teams and not being number one for the draft, but that is what happened. Skill is a great thing to have, but you need drive too. Talk about failing and turning it into success (but isn’t that what failing is all about?)
Air Jordan Fusion III (3) Coming Your Way
As seen on sneakerfiles.com and on Jordan Brand, introducing what some are calling the best Fusion out the gate so far (and probably the best AJ Fusion period). I think they are pretty cool with that air bubble casing on the midsole (I think that is the Air Force 1 premuim or supreme look). I persoanly like the White and Cement elephant print the most, even though the black/cement elephant print looks better.
As for being the best Fusion evar, I don’t know about that one. I think the Fusion V’s look the best out of all the AJ Fusion images I have seen. Almost every colorway in the Fusion V line up is heat. Even the ones I didn’t like look good. I guess I will have to see the Fusion 3 in person much like I had to with the Fusion V’s.
Both the white cement and the black cement shown come out in September 6 2008
Sweet!!!
Pictures of the Jordan Jaq Trainer… looks pretty interesting
I am willing to admit that these look pretty good. I do not think I would wear them for any reason, but I would add them to my Jordan collection of sneakers. The Grey One looks better than the other colorway shown on Sneakerfiles.com but that is just my opinion.
It very dramatic. When I first saw the shots of these in concept, I really just didn’t like it. I am glad to see that the soon to be released version looks way better. Can’t wait to see more angles of the sneaker.
Private Basketball League Bans 12 y/o Girl Phenom… Good Grief
What has the world come to? The first question that comes to mind is that if this was a boy, would he be banned because of some rule that was obviously not enforced until some parent complained about their kids loosing? So much for playing for fun and learning good sportsmanship. Is our society so obsessed with winning that all we want to teach our kids is that winning is the only way? Do you know how many shots Micheal Jordan missed or what seed he was coming out of college? Bill Gates is a drop out, LeBron wanted to play Football, and Warren Buffet, the richest man alive (until I came along 20 years from now) started his multi-billion dollar investment business as a shirt company (in other words, he failed to get that shirt business going… must have been a hard lesson in loosing to make him a winner, h’uh?).
Ok, I was ranting about something else just then. Anyway, I don’t think they should have banned her, but I do think she should probably play with another group who is more advanced in BBall. Its too bad though cause I am sure some of the other players who want to win or play against her will not get the chance to step their game up. And her team mates also won’t be able to do the same.
I think this whole thing is a loose – loose situation. She seems to have a good attitude about it though and to me, that means she really did win anyway. Ever heard the phrase I will Not Loose? It doesn’t mean you actually don’t ever loose, it means you can’t loose if you learn from the situation and become better for it. How can you loose when everything thrown at you makes you better (and richer)?
I wish her the best!!! Hope to see her at a college game in 6 years. Ohio State maybe?
As seen on Digg and Yahoo. Lots of comments on Digg about this.
In Fashion News: Trina Is Creating a Fashion Line – Pink Diamond Couture
I’m guessing she is wearing them in the picture cause I don’t recognize the pants. I’m looking at her butt for some signs of what will be the jeans signature look will be (yes, I said I am looking at her butt… purely for discovery reasons) but I am not sure what I’m looking at.
Using my Google-ti-quan-do, I found the Trina shopping site (I guess its official) and some of her offerings.
I am guessing she is targeting the high end market being that the word Couture is in there. I think that is a great idea and I think she should keep it marketed to those individuals. Do not mass produce this ish please. Nothing like fat profits on clothing that costs 60 dollars to make but your selling it for 120 (I’m looking at you Coogi LMAO)
Just in case you forgot who Trina is… she is the baddest chick… and she is Smooth (I’M SO MAD AT SMOOTH FOR SHOWING A PIECE OF ASS AND THEN HAVE “The Black History Issue” ON THE SIDE!!!)
And there it is… Shop Trina now if you want it. I tell you, there is a whole lot of hustle going on in the music industry. I think everybody sees what’s coming. By the way, she also has some perfumes coming out too. Read all about it on Dr. Jays blog.
Snakes On A Plane… I mean.. Kobe Jumps Over A Pool Full Of Snakes
In a total boneheaded jackass type moment, Kobe jumps over a pool. Kobe got talent, that is granted, but ummm… there aint NO WAY IN HELL he actually jumped over this car pool. He is either crazy and tryingto void his contract, or its totally fake.
Either way those Hyperdunks are the real show of the video. while the Hyperdunk is NOT Kobe’s signiture sneaker, he does have a Players Edition sneaker. House of Hoops got some super exclusive colorwys of the new Hyperdunk.
Here are 2 colorways released (at 24 pair each I believe) from b.!.z // eBay as seen on Sneakernews.com
Kobe Bryant Lakers Hyperdunk PE is the black, maize and varsity purple colorway
Source: sneakernews.com
These are especially special due the the special plexi-glass case which holds them
Source: Sneakernews.com
So there you have it! The Hyerdunk and Kobe jumping over pools with snakes (or something) in them. Does it get any better than this? Does it? No. No it doesn’t. Don’t lie to yourself. This is it. Its all down hill from here. lol
