O.M.G.!!! First Look Samples Of Air Jordan 2009 aka XX4 aka 24
OMG OMG OMG!!! New sample shots of the Air Jordan 2009 aka Air Jordan 24 have been seen on the interwebzzz. The first of the Fab Four to say anything was The Shoe Game but the first to get the actual sample pics was Sneakernews.
I know when Nicekicks and Sneakerfiles gets to it, we all will get even more info on the king of all sneakers.
The sneaker has high hopes of looking great even though it may not look so great now. I like the “spring board” look of the back but i do wonder how that will translate into a working sneaker.
When do these come out? In February. How much? A whopping 190 dollars a pair. Man, that price keeps going up. I wonder if I will get a suitcase just like the 17’s? These sneakers also look similar to what I see Jordan wearing during training. I think its the MJ basketball chop) For more shots, click on the link for Sneakernews.com
All The Black Friday Air Jordan 23 in ONE Video
Not a super detail video of each sneaker, but lets face it, you already know what it looks like, and what it feels like. If you read my blog here you already know how I feel about patent leather all over the place, but I think it works here somewhat… I still wish it was just regular white leather.
Either way, I am defiantly getting the Motorsports. If I get another pair (and its highly likely that I will) it will be the white red and black aka Bulls. The Bulls is actually the best looking one out of the 3 that will released. Too bad it will be limited.
(motorsports)
(bulls)
(unc… notice that there are not allot of pictures of these on the net lol)
(and doesn’t the Titaniums represent UNC already?)
December 28 2008 is the day. These 3 sneakers don’t match the watches that came out this year from Brand Jordan, but I am sure they will do something about that. You know what I wonder: What do people do who do not know about this stuff?
More info about the Air Jordan 23:
LeBron Superman VI Zoom
(this looks interesting)
Could this sneaker been the inspiration for Lebron to dunk all over the competition a couple of days ago?
AWESOME
Not totally into the Superman LeBron series, but this one looks cool. As seen on the BOP via The Shoe Game.com
Probably be a House of Hoop’s exclusive or something much like the author of The Shoe Game said, but who knows.
NBA Top Ten for Monday the 24
You know, people do wear sneakers to play in, believe it or not lol I’m thinking about every so often going into the sports world and see what these basketball,track, and other sports notables who have sneakerlines are up to. Maybe I’ll call it Sunday Sports Wrap-Up or the Wednesday Wake-Up.
Anyway, NBA Top Ten for Monday is here, (but something is missing… unless I am wrong). Can you spot all the sneakers? A few players names were dropped in the video, that’s for sure.
How Many Sneakers Does A Shrimp Use?
Thats allot of running sneakers for this guy. I wonder how many Air Max 97’s would he get if he could? Damn near every color and flavor you can think of is out so I am sure each pair of feet (or what ever you call those) can have their own limited edition footwear.
Rant – Micheal Jordan: Why Did You Put Out The Bred AJ11 Instead of the Concord For The Countdown Pack?
?
I was mad when the AJ countdown Pack 20 + 3 colorways were made known and it ended up not only not putting out the white and red III’s (they put out the black and grey of which wasn’t too bad, just disappointing) but they put out this… I don’t know what that XX’s “Black Cat” was… as part of the pack.
I wanted that3+12 pack, but after that, I changed my mind.
Now we come to the Air Jordan Countdown Pack 11 + 12… What the @%$#??
As the last pack and probably the most significant one, why not put out the Concord AJ11’s? Why the Bred’s?
(looks hot but why in the CDP 12 + 11 Brand Jordan… WHY???)
(oooohhh why not these? why not? *starts to cry*)

I am very upset that I am not getting my Concords. The internet sneaker blogs are abuzz with comments for this countdown pack and the Bred’s as to how much it is well liked. I am not against the Bred AJ11 and if I do decide to get this pack, it will probably be worth it, but I really think the concord AJ11 would have been a total hit (along with a BRED AJ12 or a white and red AJ12… but lets face it, the best colorway for the 12’s is what they are putting into the pack lol)
^OR MAYBE THIS JUST IS BETTER^
(the AJ CDP 12’s from sneakernews.com via urbanlook.com)
(same as above except its the AJ11 BREaD)
Its a nice pack, please do not get me wrong, but the concords should have been in the pack; PERIOD. Lets hope that we all can get some AJ11 concord love in some special pack that Brand Jordan may release in the future. The only problem with that is that this year was supposed to be the last year for retros for a while when it comes to Jordans, so coming out with some special pack for the general masses that includes the concord AJ 11’s seems like a bad move.
So anyway, this last pack is due in December on the 26th. I guess I’ll get it cause its the last pack… but then there is this recession thing… Already spending 400 on 2 Air Jordan 23 this Black Friday, a the Fusion 20 is another 155 so what is that 600 after taxes… ummm I got books to buy for school (I’m in grad school and its costing me a brick) and a business to start so why am I getting these? I don’t know. I just don’t know. I think I may just have to buy the OG version of the AJ11 concord.
High Heels: Upward Trend Alarms Docs
This is for the ladies in the house. If you are thinking about wearing the 8″ heel next summer, maybe you will think twice about them.
Take care of those feet.
Awwwww Snap!!! Remember New Colorways For Air Jordan 23
Just in case you SOMEHOW forgot that this Friday will be a big Friday. Not only the Air Jordans and the Fusion 20’s but other sneakers as well that will be classics… but probably not as much as the Air Jordan 23.
I am going to have to dip into my savings for this one. I hope that Eastbay gets the Motorsports. I have to get that one. As for buying the other 2, I just don’t know. The other 2 are defiantly limited and will probably be hard to get anyway.
What’s funny is that I haven’t worn the AJ23’s I already bought. I was planning on doing just that, but it hasn’t worked out. Well, I am hoping that on Friday I will be earing a AJ23.
Man, my wallet is hurting… I got to visit family, get a few gifts, buy my PS3 and get Grand Theft Auto (might have to wait for that one… maybe for my birthday or something). How is it that somehow I am buying 5 pairs of sneaker before New Years starts (two Air Jordan 23’s, Fusion 20 black, 12 +11 Countdown Pack)? Then the new year begins and I’m getting those eggplant Foamposites… and isn’t there going to be a release of the Air Jordan 2K9 (aka AJ 24) in Febuary?
Awe man, somethings got to give.
Puma Suede Tommie Smith “Mexico City Olympics” Silent Protest
Fight the power! I am not sure I would have done it, and I am not even sure it was the best place to do it either, but it sure made an impact in the rough and tumble 1960’s.
What am I talking about?
Tommie Smith, an Olympian for the 1968 Olympics, won gold and while on the medal stand, he put of a fist and bowed his head. I am sure there are pictures on the net somewhere…
Anyway, these are on sale at Mita (never shopped there before, but may have to in order to get these sneakers). I do not know if they are limited or if they will show up in other shops.
Kicks On Fires Asks: Which Sneaker Would You Vote For – Air Jordan 1 Retro or AJ 6 Olympics
Air Jordan 1 Retro Vs Air Jordan 6 Olympics
(Air jordan 1 Retro vs Original AJ1)
Me personally, I would choose the Air Jordan 1 Retro’s. If I had the choice, I would pick the original AJ 1’s over the retros AND the AJ 6 Olympics any day of the week… even though I am not too into super high tops.
I would also like to mention that I am soooo tired of seeing patent leather on every other popular sneaker. At the time these came out, I was thinking to myself, “this is getting a little ridiculous” but it ultimately still looked good (but would have looked better without the total patent leather treatment).
Its just barely better than the original OG AJ 6 Olympics.
Anyway, so far the winner is actually not my pick but the other guy. I can only think that the main reason why people are picking the AJ6 Olympics over the AJ1 Retro is because of the patent leather. Nevertheless, for me, the AJ1 Retro still looks better but who am I? Just some blogger who is new on the scene and really interested (and opinionated) in the sneaker and shoe game.
If you want to vote, then get your vote on. I gonna try to follow up on Kicks On Fire’s voting numbers (as well as any other of my Fab Four sneaker sites that I visit) and try to round up “election results”.
Yes, I do think we need change in the sneaker and shoe game. heck, I’mma put up a poll right now: If a sneaker or shoe could be President, who would you pic? Who would would be in the final four?
LMAO The game just got tighter!!!
