Gucci Got Some New Stuff for 2008

It looks like Gucci wants to get into your wallet… in a big way… sometime this year. This is seen on the.LIFE Files. Looks pretty good and it is something I would consider them as grown and sexy. this is not for the teen and such. Grown people only! lol


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????


DJ Clark Kent GIVAWAY At Vinnie Styles

As seen on Nicekicks.com and sneakernews.com, it looks like DJ Clark Kent is giving away originally designed sneakers. Now I know this will be an event, no question. I wish I could go. I hope someone reports on how it went once he started giving away.

See? Looks like whole parts of sneakers being reflective is the thing for ’08


Nike Air Force 1 High Supreme 2008 – Sheed Pack

I really like this. Many thanks to sneakernews for posting WAY TOO MUCH information on it lol. They have all the picture and guess what?

I thought at first it was a bad photo, but 2 of the sneakers have 3M coating! That mean you reflect in the light. It would seem that having your whole sneaker reflect is getting popular. I don’t know if it will reach its height this year or next but having sneakers that reflect (or glow in the dark apparently) is the ish.

I still say the white and blue is the best looking ones. For places to shop for them and junk like that (and more pictures) visit sneakernews.com


Air Jordan 1 Father Day

(from sneakernews.com)

I have not seen them anywhere, but sneakernews.com says that they are on Eastbay.com and low and behold there they are along with a bunch of other AJ1′s. Not bad for $99.99.

I may get these. Man, I’m telling you, I already spent 400 dollars on Air Jordan 1′s and if I get these, that would make 600 dollars on ONES ALONE!!! And more Ones are  on the way. Good lawd! Not to mention all the other Jordans coming out. Then their is all those other sneakers coming out from Nike to Creative Recreation.

What a year 2008 will be.


HAWT: Nike Air Force 1 x Air Max 95 Neon Inspired

No words other than Hot. Released today. More info at sneakernews.com Hot, hot, hot, hot hot!!!!111!11!1!

I am beginning to think that for this summer green will be the new black. I’m seeing allot of people wearing green. Neon green, bright green… interesting.


Rainbow Bright Air Jordan 6 Olympic RELEASED

Not only does the rainbow lead to a Air Jordan 6, but when you get there you will only find limited sizes left. There may be allot of people (including me) who did not like this sneaker too much (although I will admit, thanks to SneakGeekz, after seeing the video they do look pretty good), but they sure are selling out.

Could be those same speculators (who cause the housing mess) who think people will buy these for more than the store asking price so they bought 10 each and went straight to eBay. Anyway, while Finishline is almost sold out, Eastbay has the usual suspects left (sizes 7 – 13).

Wanna see the video? Here it is:

More Pictures

So the choice is yours. do you want to get this? I am not going to get it, but if you are a real Jordan Head then I would highly advise you get this sneaker. Hell, even I should get them considering that I am supposed to be starting my massive sneaker collection (and diecast cars too, but that is another story)

Here is the description from Eastbay (since they currently have the most sneakers available):

Taking inspiration from the heritage of the AJ X, the Jordan Olympic 6 will provide the ultimate experience in a player’s quest for perfection. Named after one of the greatest events worldwide, this pair of kicks is made with a combination of rich leathers and suede, plus a foam-backed internal booty system that provides a snug, high-performance fit. The midsole is comprised of full-length Phylon™ with Zoom Air™ units for superior cushioning. The outsole is solid rubber with anatomically correct flex grooves for excellent traction.

So will you get history? Lawd knows June 2008 is gonna be a hot month for Jordan releases. My wallet is gonna be screaming at me.

PS

Message to Brand Jordan… you are killin’ me with the patent leather. Please don’t put it on everything and everywhere LOL
