LeBron James Gives Lowdown on Hitop LeBron 6

Well isn’t that cool? I am still not convinced on the look of the sneaker but I sure do like the backdrop of them. I also like the 4 LeBrons idea (don’t quite understand why in this release they went did some underhanded stuff, but you can read more about that on The Shoe Game) . Anyway this is a video must see for LeBron fans and anybody who wants to know the Story of Six (first on The Shoe Game)

On Sale (HELL YEAH): Air Jordan 6 Ring Concord

For 149.99 (at Eastbay, Finishline and Nike Store too) you too can have the “almost” Air Jordan 11 re-incarnation. In NYC these are very popular and I have already seen multiple people wearing them. Allot of couples too are doing their thing. Somehow in NYC the Air Jordan 6 Ring has become the couples sneaker LMAO.

I was thinking that I may buy another pair if I can, but considering that I will be spending almost 500 dollars PLUS in the next 2 months, I thought I would chill a little bit (in case you are wondering, I want the AJ23 Motorsports, Foamposites, and the Fusion XX’s).

More on this later.

Halloween is just around the corner… soooo what will be on your feet?

Sneakerfiles is wondering that too. Made a post about it. I am guessing that a big post will be coming soon on Halloween like sneakers. I have already seen people (well mostly kids) wearing Halloween like color sneakers. Anyway, unless someone else does it first, I will do a post on those Halloween kicks.

The 4 LeBrons: Wise, Business, Athlete and Kid

I am totally lovin it!!!

The wise business athlete kid is back with the new Lebron 6 (a design I am not too happy about but they sure do come up with some great colorways for the sneaker) and I have to say I am very impressed but the look and the idea.

Why the limited edition!!! Why??? Now I have zero chance of getting them

My personal opinion and view is that whether you are going into business for yourself you should do your best to uplift others, try to educate and enlighten (especially if you are influencing with the kids). Its what I try to do even with this blog (and my other one too). I try my best to talk bout sneakers and shoes but also foot care, rant on why don’t all sneaker companies make width for people with larger/wider feet, exercise rutines (I am working on some posts on that), sneaker business news an so forth.

Sooner or later I try to slip in something health or business related because, after all, you can use those sneakers to exercise and you may want to know just how those companies get that product you like so much.

Anyway, enough with that… LeBron used the 4 LeBrons for a special edition release that will come out October 25. I am such a supporter of the idea of being wise, athetic, business and never growing old (kid) that I will try my best to ge at least 2 of these sneakers.

If you haven’t noticed, I am more into the wise and business ideas (its not that they look the best, its just that is what I am more into). Although if I want to stay healthy mentally (kid aka never grow old) and physically (athlete aka work out and be at your best), I may need to focus on the other 2 characters too.

First peeped this info from Nicekicks.com(via Sole Collector)  where you can see more pictures (lots more pictures).

2 things though:

The Athlete – The 4 LeBron’s

why is the athlete version not in the Ohio Cavs colorway? I would think the athlete version should be the Cavs home colorway. then again, it may only represent being “a” athlete and not “an” athlete for someone.

Just a thought.

The LeBron Figurines

I don’t know if they come with the sneaker or not (there were figurines for the last time for the 3’s)… but the next time he does this, I sure hope he includes them.

Air Jordan Countdown Pack 20 + 3 = The Odd Couple

(you can still get small sizes from Eastbay.com)

Tell me why dudes bought the pack and was trying to sell the 20’s while walking out of the store or in the mall? LMAO I think this pack is the only back of extreme opposites I have ever seen. Not even the 15 + 8 will come close to this one (I thought it would but I was wrong).

I had planned to get this pack a long time ago but the colors that actually came out was not what I wanted. Everyone else though seemed hyped up for the black and grey3’s.

Remember, only 2 more packs are coming out and then that’s it No more retros for a while from Brand Jordan.

P.S.

Also remember the white and black 6Ring Concords are coming soon!!!

On Sale: Coogi Limited Edition Royalty Fitted Cap

On Sale of 90 Bucks at Dr. Jays!!!

Man, I haven’t posted anything on hats in a while. I don’t remember when the last time I headed over to any of the fitted blogs that are currently on line but I am sure this is on there.

I don’t particularly like baseball caps and haven’t wore one in almost 9 years but I still like the designs of allot of the fitted out there. This hat right here is one of them that I like. Its a little flashy but its still cool. PLUS it comes in that box that you see in the picture above. These are collectibles.

Too bad its limited.

As seen on Dr. Jays and its available on sale there too for $90.00 (Does Coogi make ANYTHING that costs less than 90 dollars? LMAO)

Here are some details from Dr. Jays:

  • Comes in an exclusive collectible Coogi gift box with lurex twisted handles, satin lining, gold foil script logo on interior and magnetic faux snap closure
  • All-over ornate lurex style stitching with lurex script logo across face of cap
  • Gold foil screen printed detail with pieced looped lurex trim across back trim of cap
  • Gold coin detail on top tip of cap with Coogi style studs

Very interesting isn’t it? With all that gold, you think you could buy it and resell it for a profit considering that gold is going up in this economy.

On Sale: New Scuff Proof Timberland Classic Boots

Can’ scuff this… I’m telling you homeboy, can’t scuff this!

I saw this on Dr Jays.com blog. Something about specially treated leather not allowing anything to scuff it is quite amazing. The price is pretty good too considering that they will be hard to mess up. I would love to buy it just to find out how well it works. If I find someone who gets it, I am going to ask them to review the shoe and to come back and review it again after wearing them for a few months after the first review.

I will admit that I like the “asphalt” look of the shoe. There is nothing more street than asphalt that covers the roads LMAO

Anyway, you can buy them at Dr. Jays.com for $134.99

Paris Hilton Puts Out… A Shoe Collection

I wasn’t sure if I should post this considering that this is old news… and the shoes don’t look particularly good… but I figure, “hey maybe someone who wants to know about it, didn’t know they came out”.

Again, looking for a video on Yahoo Video, I came across the Paris collection. I sort of wished it was showing what she has in her closet as opposed to what shoe she was pushing, but hey you can’t win them all.

Paris Hilton Flair ($93.00 at Zappos.com)

You can get the Paris Hilton Collection at Zappos.com. I like the Flair and the Chico… but what do I know, I’m a guy.

Lets Talk About Shoe Stores: Hanig’s Footwear

Saw this video while looking for another video on Yahoo that I hope to be posting shortly. I think, while there are plenty of sneaker blog sites (I personally recommend four of them LOL), there are not as many one the fashion of shoes and definaitly on collecting them. I know the ladies collect their shoes like its a religion, but the guys seem more interested in doing the same thing for sneakers only.

I hope I am (along with this blog) will be  the beginning of a change in what you should be focusing on with your feet. Its Sneakers AND Shoes baby!!! If I ever go to one of the sneaker meets, I hope that I can show off at least one shoe or boot in my eclectic collection of sneakers, shoes and pure sports footwear (like track shoes and sneakers made for a specific sport or workout).

Anyway, for more about this store, visit here. Video seen on Yahoo.
