What If? Air Jordan 14 in FERRARI Colorway Photoshopped by BP of NikeTalk

jordan14_ferrariwhite by BP of NIKEtalk

(on can dream, can’t he?)

The colorway photoshopped by BP of NikeTalk and I gotta say I wish… WISH… they would  just talk to him about making colorways for some of these retros and current releases. There would be no need for Save-A-Sneaker with him on board. Can you guys imagine if this colorway came out for the AJ14′s? Classic.

I would be living the Boss’ Life if I had these… no seriously, I would.

KICKS Issue 12…. YEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!

KICKS Issue 12

(ITS ON NOW B******CHS)

(lol)

You know what guys… Slam’s KICKS Magazine has been around for a while. Its been around so long that when I was in school and wanted to design a website for KICKS as a class project this is what I came up with:

Project8 KICKS1

(for 1999 this is pretty good if I say so myself)

Project8 KICKS3

(the “I” in Team… who else would come up with that other than me? LMAO

Guess when I did that? Back in 1999 in collage college. Damn, that was a decade ago (why am I showing my age??? lol).

… and hey… Slam Magazine KICKS… don’t get any ideas, this is copyrighted LOL

The Shoe Game Got The 2010 Jordan Release Dates

Air Jordan 6 Black Varsity Red  Retro

(OMG its looking good)

The highlites I like:

AIR JORDAN 6 RETRO
WHITE/BLACK//INFRARED – (Quickstrike OG release)
WHITE/BLACK//VARSITY RED
BLACK/WHITE/VARSITY MAIZE/VARSITY PURPLE
BLACK/TRUE BLUE/LT GRAPHITE/VARSITY RED

AIR JORDAN 11 SNAKE L
WHITE/BLACK/NAVY

AJF 8

JORDAN SPIZIKE – makes a return in 3 diff colorways
BLACK/STEALTH//VARSITY RED

Those are my notables, but you have to check out The Shoe Game for more… what I see that is the most interesting is that the Air Jordan VI are coming in Varsity Red as well as Infrared… maybe the Varsity Red Vs. Infrared Debate the sneakerweb had helped JB to second guess just a varcity red AJ VI.

Another interesting release will be the Air Jordan Fusion Force 8. Considering the unholy drama that the AJF 13 created, and the rumor that there will be only 2 more of these fusions after the AJF 13, makes what the AJF 8 will look like under some pressure and will be recieved. I am not part of the crowd who thinkgs that all of these Air Force One and Jordan fusions are bad. I actually think its good and in particular great for the younger generation who didn’t really see Jordan play but can be apart of the history IN THEIR OWN WAY.

I will say it again for the hard of reading (LOL): there is nothing wrong with the AJF series and in fact lets a new generation share in the history of Nike as well as Air Jordan

So it will be interesting to see these AJF 8′s leak onto the sneakerwebs and see how people react to it.

So so is the rest of the sneakerweb reacting to the pre-release info?

This is where it gets even more interesting. The comments on popular sneaker blog sites where people tend to make their thoughts known can be insightful, but usually are either striaght to the pointor just plain hilarious. Gotta check those comments.

Release Dates and Rumors

Can’t confirm, but this is what I saw on Sole Collector forums:

Space Jams Releasing… in December?

You know I just love reading comments and seeing videos from people who love (or no love) what they get. Nightwing2303 gave us a look at a pair of sneakers he purchased from VMV Inc online. It is a good video of the sneaker if you wanted even more views of them.

Nightwing2303 did a follow up comment on The Shoe Game:

Sorry about my lack of enthusiasm lol! That is what I sound like when I am excited… Im just real laid back. If I saw MJ himself in the flesh, on the inside I would be acting like an Nsync fan who just had Timberlake’s sweat drip on their shirt but on the outside I stay fairly reserved. I was excited however but also slightly disappointed the more I had inspected them. There are quite a few things that didnt sit right with me, the warped ankle area was just the most obvious. There were glue marks on the patent area, the leather on the heal had been put on a little sloppy AND the side panel of one of the shoes already had a fat crease on the patent leather?!?! How do you crease the SIDE of the damn shoe? Anyways, I am happy I got them since I had spent all my hard earned savings for the concords back in ‘01 (I was in high school so I was broke) so I missed the Jams… and I still “miss” them now like someone else said on here, they arent really space jam XIs they are retro XIs in a black varsity royal and white makeup. But F-it I just love shoes.

So that’s that.

I was going to get 2 pair of these Space Jams but I agree that quality is down with JB. Now its true that not every sneaker is going to be made perfectly (they must make thousands of these so a pair or 2 will  be messed up), I do think there is a consistent quality (or lack thereof) that has been going on with Jordans (retros specifically).

Space Jams releasing in December?

I hoe to see a confirmation of this. Otherwise I think they are coming out on Black Friday in November. But Nike has surprised us in the past (black on black Half Cent Penny’s anyone?) so i guess its a wait and see.
