Are These Fake??? Air Jordan Force True Flight Fusion

true-flight-fusion

(and all for $38.99!!!! lol)

(P.S. had to edit this post cause it might be confusing)

So, while I was browsing the net and hanging out on Kicks On Fire, I saw someone post this very interesting  message on the forum about  a website. So I said to myself, “why not?” and I went there. Now I don’t usually go to strange sites, but hey I am browsing with Firefox (and other internet browsers) so what do I have to worry about?

Words could not describe what I saw on the site.  No words at all. Yes it was bad.

I will admit though, there was a very nice colorway of a Air Jordan Flight Hare.

Air Jordan True Flight HARE

(looks nice… BUT IS IT REAL?)

(and yes I think it would make a great colorway)

So I figure why not ask the interwebzzzz out there, are these real (hope I didn’t influence you in any way lol)?

Yes I know its not MondayYou know, for Music Mondays), but I wanted to post this anyway... Shell Top’s away! Old school video remake of an even older school song Rappers Delight with Kieth Murry, Redman and Eric Sermon… woooooowwwwwwww. I think Redman is coming out with a new album.

OOOOoooookay: Nike Air Yeezy “Gay Fish” Customize Sneaker

Nike Air Yeezy South Park Gay Fish

(its yours for 1500 dollars… WHAT??? )

I don’t know what’s gayer… the price or that South Park cartoon featuring Kayne West. Lets face it that whole Fish*icks joke and this South Park episode will go down in history as one of the best. And then having Kayne West comment on it just made it more funny. This custom sneaker basically is a hallmark to the situation. A custom made sneaker size 12 for $!500 Dollars.

Its not for me… cause I don’t eat fishsticks… but for those who openly admit to eating fishsticks and know the Gordan Fisherman commercial by heart (trust the Gordon Fisherman LOL)


Not Sure About These: Air Jordan 16.5 in Black and Red

Air Jordan 16.5

(not too sure about these… but the internetzzz loves it)

(more on this later)

So Foot Locker Blog is trying to get in the game? That’s all good with me! Looks like they got the shots of what is to come in November and its called the AJ16.5. it looks ok, I guess… but whatever. Its not exactly what I thought it would look like. Maybe I need to see it in person.

Speaking of hybrids between one version of the AJ sneaker and another…

A Porsche Sneaker From adidas??? P5510 Porsche Design Bounce S

First Look as seen on DaLeak: Porsche Sneaker

(first seen on DaLeak.com)

(all I can say is that it looks REALLY good)

(would you cop these joints?)

(wouldn’t be the first time adidas linked up with Porsche)

(I wonder if Seinfeld would get these since he loves 911 so much?)

Quote from website Porsche-Design:

Developed and designed exclusively for the adidas Porsche Design Sport range, the Bounce:S is a whole new cushioning experience. Using a system of metallic springs, it increases energy return and gives you a more efficient ride. Take it for a run and tap into a new level of energy and handling. Like the suspension of a sports car, Bounce:S hugs the pavement, enhancing your feel of the road. When the lever arms are in action, they transfer the vertical impact of your stride into forward propulsion. Whereas traditional shoes drain your energy with thick, dense foam, the Bounce:S suspension system returns more of your energy for a smooth, stable ride.

Dude… this is a must have! Price: Arm and a leg…. If your in NYC you might want to try here:

On Sale: Christian Louboutin Robot 120 Ankle Boots

Christian Louboutin Robot 120 ankle boots

Price of Admission: $1,295

(a nice look for the ladies, right guys?)

Oh man, I have been so slacking in posts. Trying to work out school life, my new schedule, taking a break from school and how it will effect my finish time… but anyway, you aint come here to read all of that, you came to see sneakers and shoes (and other related items). Well, I have been ignoring the ladies in the shoe department for a while now, so here you go.

And guys are complaining about Kayne West Lious V sneakers??? Ladies, tell us guys what prices you pay for footwear LOL What’s even funnier is that I don’t see these shoe makers tell you ANYTHING about some technology that went into the shoe to make them comfortable. Just because women have a higher tolerance for pain doesn’t mean they don’t want “Zoom Air” in there 6″ high heels.

But hey… that’s they way things are I guess. For now. First seen on Roc4Life (they got a social website now too??? can’t stop the social movement I guess lol)


Christian Louboutin Wants To Make Sneaker… Apparently

Christian Louboutin Sneakers

(would you buy?)

(possible look at first ever sneaker from the shoe maker)

(what kind of shoes does Christian Louboutin make? video below)

(wonder if the bottom is red?)


I’ll Be Starting Wednesday Workout Soon

(geeeeeeeeze this is funny)

(thought I throw a classic at you lol)

Why am I doing this? because I need to start working out… and I think one of the reasons why SOME people by sneakers is to… guess what? work out in them? Go figure. So far the sneaker I have in my arsenal are the Nike Shox, Nike Air Max 360 (rejuvenation), and the adidas Megabounce Mega Burst special addition “Rainbow”.

I actually did a little running in the adidas and I have to say that they really do what they say such that with each step they return some of that energy. I never ran in the 360′s before, but hope to get them a shot tomorrow at the track (but I really got them to walk around in… want to get to 2 miles or 30 minutes 4 days a week walking)

I will be testing out sneakers shortly (especially if Finishline keeps that return a sneaker program going) and I will be having family members testing sneakers (and shoes) shortly as well in the hopes that there can be more than just insane rants on how the sneaker or shoe looks. Now I will have insane rants on how they actually work (or don’t work).

Remember breakfast is really important part of the day LMAO

Why Is This So Popular On My Blog? Sneaker Night – Vanessa Hudgens

(wow… and what the hell is One True Media???)

Anyway, starting sometime next month (depending on my workload with school, work and a few things I am doing that is related to self education on my own), I will start dedicating one post (or maybe 2-3 depending on what I can find that works) on Music. I will call it Music Mondays. The videos, links and so forth will be either old school stuff or totally sneaker or shoe related videos (or somehow relating to sneakers or shoes).

So who is going to be fly’er than the rest of them? Vanessa step your game up girl!

Just one part of my tv blog viewing line up (it will also help me to remember what I should post and when… cause remember, I got school to contend with… but I am thinking about a break, but I will let you know when that happens lol… I should have just made that a regular sentence LMAO)
