OK, Where Is It! Air Jordan Fusion V White and Red NO WHERE TO BE FOUND
Sooo Where the hell is it?
OK LADIES AND GENTLEMAN this shoe went so fast that Finishline don’t even have the picture up anymore! Eastbay don’t tell you anything about the sneaker either.
So far the only sneaker blog (that I watch anyway) who sad they are supposed to release today is Sneakernews.com
Sneakerfiles.com and Nicekicks.com says on thier respective release pages that it is supposedly to be released today 06/14/08 but I don’t see it ANYWHERE! These guys are gonna make me go out to the store in the morning just to see if it actually released.
If anybody knows if it actually got released today, let me know. I knew it was suppossed to be limited, but this is rediculous.
EDIT: They did release and they were in stores. You can still find some in places in NYC but mostly in grade school sizes. Even though I liked these Fusion V’s the most, after seeing them in person, they are also pretty… plain looking. I still like them though, but not the most anymore.
Oh and these released to day also. I don’t expect to see them around much though…
So Cal Air Force ones: Most Expensive Sneaker
I must have missed this one somehow, but here it is. Its pretty cool. not sure about putting gems on my sneaker just for me to walk around in them and loosing all those crystals.
Anyway, just thought I would post it to let you guys know its out there. As seen on Street Knowledge.
A sneaker customization company called Laced Up started a program called Solitaire Kicks made them.
In Sports News: Celtics hold off Lakers
In the battle of teams (and sneakers) who will win?
I really think the Lakers will win, but they are sure making it tough for themselves right now. If they lose the third one… no more HyperFlight car/pool jumping?

What A nice Future 2009 Can Be – Dave White x MusicSkins x Jordan V Grapes x Skinning = ???
Individual Sole » Dave White x MusicSkins “Nike Air Max 95 Neon” & “Jordan V Grapes”
Ok ya’ll. My question is this; What if you mixed the above look (whether it be a iPod, iPhone or a laptop) with this below?
Any answers?
In Fashion News: LRG x Courvoisier eBay Special… I MISSED IT
This had to be the coolest collabo I have seen i a while. This is truly for the grown and sexy (mainly because Courvoisier is a alcoholic beverage and you have to be over 21 to drink… or is it 18? I forget). I liked much of the clothing they had… but I’ll admit most of it was a little too forward thinking for my style wise. Never the less, I loved that windbreaker, the leather jacket and a couple of the pants.
(showing the leather jacket and jean together)
But you know what I really loved? That Blackberry and that iPhone.
While I wouldn’t have gotten the iPhone, I would have certainly gotten that Blackberry (I don’t know which model it was).

That is sweater hot in the summer!!! I would have done well to at least try to get this stuff… anyway, they only have a couple of items left. It is supposed to go to some charity, but I have no idea which. As seen on Complex’s LookBook (its still up if you want to take a look… book lol)
Fall Preview of the New Balance MT580
TheShoeGame.com – Sneakers and Information » New Balance MT580 Fall ‘08 Preview
I think my Mom would like these. She is just WAY into new Balance. The only problem I think is that these things are so tough. I think Mamma need more cushioning than walking on Cross Trainers made for… well, running Cross Country (I used to do that and believe me, I wish I had a pair of these… stepping on rocks, tree roots and branches throws you off AND it hurts). All my Mom is doing is walking in them.
Well, anyway the different styles is shown on The Shoe Game.com I’m not sure why many sneaker blogs talk about these New Balance sneakers, but I guess the old school NB have more history.
In Sneaker News: Leave That Sandal Alone
Looks like you need to leave those sandals at home (unless you work at a real cool workplace). Oh well, too bad. My next sandl feature is “The Sandals of Eastbay”. Then after that, “The Sandals of Macy’s” lol Finishline and Zappos somewhere down the road. Personally, I think you could get away with the sandals pictured above, but not those thong sandals you can buy for 2 dollars at the hair store LOL
PS
Did you know New Balance has a really cool casual shoe? Post about it later.
In Sneaker News: On Your Feet by the washingtonpost.com
On Your Feet – washingtonpost.com
How do shoes affect your feet? Is there a good way to walk in heels? Want to know about Morton’s neuroma? How about hammertoe and pump bumps?
Yeah, you want to wear those Jordans, but your foot is a little wide. Yeah, you want to wear that High Heel DKNY shoe, but now you got hammer toe
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
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
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:
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
In Sneaker News: Kobe needs to embrace Jordan legacy
Is it really Micheal Vs Kobe?
Or should it be Kobe embracing being the next Micheal Jordan?
As you can read here, some people’s opinion is that Kobe should not run away from the legacy, he should embrace it.
Not an option. The idea that Bryant should be considered apart from Jordan is plainly preposterous, and now — near the conclusion of a season in which Bryant has at long last shown himself to be authentically Jordanesque — more than ever. As it happens, given Bryant’s famously voracious appetite for victory and his place in basketball history, he has but one satisfactory option. Fortunately, for him at least, it’s not only doable, but highly probable. Bryant needs two trophies here: one denoting a Lakers championship, and another commemorating his performance and the 2008 Finals MVP.
Kobe can be Kobe all he wants. But anything less will diminish his legacy.
Is it still necessary to itemize the basis for comparison? Kobe Bryant came of age in the age of Michael Jordan. For him to have idolized anyone else would’ve been setting his sights too low, a form of slumming. Their similarities were pronounced by the time Bryant announced his sneaker deal as a high school senior in 1996. They were the same size, and played the same position the same way. Bryant mimicked the mannerisms — the shrug, the finger wag, even the way in which he cradled his first championship trophy — while mastering Jordan’s real moves.
Brand Jordan Gets The Side Eye of Death: Air Jordan 7 Celebration Pack
EQUALS
What is your opinion (as you already know mine) of Brand Jordan releasing this sneaker? If it was a limited release (or super limited release) would you want it?
For more info (and pictures) check out the post on The Shoe Game.com. And the opinions there are… interesting. lol
For more pictures of the original AJ7 Olympics (and others), check out Nicekicks.com
NBA Finals adidas KG Team Signature Commander LE
So will this do better than this:
Your thoughts? My thoughts is yes. If you want to see the Air Jordan Alpha Omega pack (and other things), take a look at it here.
The Omega part of the pack was not that popular in NYC and considering how long it sat on the sales racks at the brick and mortar places as well as online, I have to think it wasn’t very popular anywhere else. The alphas did very well thought.
Anyway, I like the KG’s and I think the image part was handled much better than the Omegas on the Air Jordan 22′s.
Best on Mars Vs Best on Earth: Air Jordan Fusion III
Although I am not too happy with the colorway of either the Best on Mars or the Best on Earth Fusion III looks, I have to admit that I am more attracted to them then the other Fusion III’s (even though they look better… that Forth of July release looks cool and the ones they will release in September also are pretty hot coming in original Air Jordan colorways)
Best on Earth as seen on Sneakernews.com
Best on Mars as seen on Sneakernews.com (images from – obviously – Marqueesole.com)
I am liking the original look of these. As I wrote already, they don’t look that great, but I just like them. Maybe its because I am trying to be the best on mars and on Earth and having a sneaker that says that works out for me.
These are supposed to be released sometime in July. No date set yet. See more fusion stuff on sneakernews.com
Air Jordan Fusion 20 (XX): Pantent Leather Monster
Good grief. I think the Fusion 20 is pretty nice but this is not too nice. Message to Brand Jordan: Stop with the patent leather on everything please. Its just not nessicary and many times, it is not pretty.
To see more pictures, visit Sneakernews.com. the original pictures come from a site called sneakers.fr (never heard of it).
I’m just going to say it: I like the Fusion XX, but this color on the mid-sole is wrong and the patent leather all over the place is not that nice.
Next Up: Air Jordan Fusion Force V White and Red
(image from Air-Randy.com)
Guess what is next on my list of must have sneakers while still sticking (mostly) to my sneaker budget. As seen on sneakernews.com, the release day is set for June 14 2008.
I still think this is the best looking Fusion V to come out, but overall, I am very impressed with the Fusion V look. I wasn’t when i first saw them, but after seeing them in person, I have to say they all look pretty good. I may even break my budget and get the black and red ones.
For more pictures, take a look here at another post by sneakernews.com
Ha, I love it!!!
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????
