Somebody is writing the Truth About Michael Jeffery Jordan… Whatever that means…
(is that why there is a hole in the sneaker?)
(pic from Sneakernews.com)
Here is the truth, G.O.A.T. = MJ and his kicks kick-started a footwear revolution (2.0) for dudes everywhere.
So why am I posting about this? The word blaspheme comes up in the title of an article about him, so I took the bate… what the hell are they talking about? Well here it is (with my sharp witted, full of myself commentary of course).
Blashpemy: The Truth About Michael Jeffery Jordan
By most accounts this is accepted as fact. There is no problem with the opinion that Michael Jordan is the greatest of all time. There are certainly opinions that hold a lot less credibility. The problem comes when people make him out to be more than what he was.

Say whaaaaa??? You know its gonna get good after that (or at least, it should)
I’m Back… so what the hell happened?
So here we are. Its been weeks since I last posted anything related to footwear and I sure missed allot.
Got a little sick there but I am recovering nicely and getting back to the game. Its gonna be slow going at first but eventually I will be posting again at leasr 3-4 times a day. Plus, I already strted working on a bigger/better home site for this blog (that is taking WAY longer than I though but its all good).
I love writing about this stuff. I really do. I also love cheering (or jeering) footwear designs and such. I appreciate all the well wishers and readers sticking around to see what else I have in store for them.
Posts start up in earnest tomorrow so make sure you come back tomorrow to see what on sale around the net, news stories and commentary on design styles and the culture.
I can’t wait to begin anew! See ya tomorrow!!!!
Android Homme Propulsion… adults only need apply
(if only they were on sale now…)
These need to be on my feet now. This will be apart of the fall/winter line-up according to Nicekicks. This pair has grey distressed leather and it looks quite good.
Or maybe it how they took the shots… Naaaahhhhh, its gotta be the shoes.
I need these to be released for real. The question is, what will they cost when they come out? Normal Adroid Homme prices? Hmmm….
Air Jordan 13 “Premio” Bin 23 is ummmmm… interesting…
(well… now isn’t this snazzy)
As seen on Nicekicks, His Airness is releasing another pair of kicks under the Bin 23 montra of which will cost you a grip if you want one. I love the idea personally, but… and you had to know there was going to be a “but” in this… these are not the best colorway for the AJ13′s.
Don’t get me wrong, they look right (see more images by clicking RIGHT HERE) but I think for the higher price and quality materials, it could have been in a better colorway. It doesn’t have to be in the playoff colorway or one of the OG released colorways, but it didn’t have to be this colorway either.
Maybe this will grow on me like the Air Jordan 9 BIN 23 has… but I doubt it.
Nike Air Max 360 Rejuven8
(a clear classic pair of kicks)
One of the most comfortable sneakers I ever worn (until I got the Nike Air 2009) is pictured here. The history of Nike Air to the date of when these kicks were released is on the reflective upper skin and give the sneaker a very unique look.
Make no mistake though… when these came out there were not that popular and in fact I got these on sale for less than 80 bucks. Not sure if they would be considered cool now or not, but back then it took a while to get these off the shelves… at least in NYC.
More pics of the kicks will be released soon here as well as a review of them on the main site (when ever I get the main site ready)
My Nike Vandals (canvas) On Bridge
(now that is a nice shot 
Took this pic a while ago and figured I should post it here. I put those Nike Vandals to work for real. Its one of my more comfortable sneakers, not because it has all this tech in it (because it doesn’t), its because when I walk in them I feel like I am still on the ground.
Sometimes having allot of air isn’t the only way to go, and I think these Vandals prove that.
You can’t find these anywhere for sale unless you go to auction sites like eBay. the sneaker is made of canvas and is just right for the summer if you want a cool sneaker for a hot day.
Anyway, hope you guys enjoy the pic. Its big enough to be a wallpaper.
FIFA 2010 is over and Spain won…. but what kicks were on the field?
(would you buy a 400+ dollar cleat?)
Too much for me, but if the world cup was at stake, I may have gotten them too, especially if they worked. Find the RIGT HERE at NikeStore.com
Nike Hyperdunk CHINA now released
(Ronald McDonald, pick up your sneakers)
These sneaker look hot, they really do, but damn, the colorways are straight out of the restaurant that sells millions of burgers a year.

Just don’t know about these kicks, but they on sale at FinishLine RIGHT HERE.
Nike Dunk STREETFIGHTER SB Pack
(ummmm… not too sure this works)
Well, these just hit the sneakerswebs and it seems to be a hit. I think they could look WAAAAAAaaaaay better than what is shown, but who am I to say that they don’t truely seem to reflect the Street Figheters namesakes.

But they do come close though.
I think for a game that was so iconic in gaming history for the 25+ crowd (and their younger siblings who they pushed away from the game), it could have been somewhat more influenced by the characters they are supposed to represent. Just a little bit more. Nothing too gaudy, just some more dressing I guess or maybe even the inner lining having something.
Somewhere there has got to be a detail or a material used to make this sneaker “kick”.
But I am in the minority on this. The sneakernets have spoken and they say it good.
and1 Downtime at finishLine… now on super sale
(white and red is looking good)
You know I love to browse the interwebs to see whats on sale and what looks good/interesting/fair/ugly and I came across these “nike free” looking and1 kicks.

Can’t be mad at them though, I actually think they look ok. And for 50 bucks, you can’t go too wrong.
Air Max 360 Rejuvine8 – Preview Shots
(man, these things reflect)
For me, these kicks at the time I got them, are the second most comfortable sneaker I had ever worn (at that time, the top comfortable sneaker I had ever worn was the Reebok DMX 10) . They were light and pretty flexible.
And reflective…
Maybe that put people off, because they were hyper reflective, maybe because they were a nice bright green, or maybe it was the history of air printed on the sides of the sneaker.
One way or another, these kicks ended up on sale, and I bought them for 79.99 at Dr Jays many years ago. I guess, in some ways, that is what other people are doing today with the Air Max 2009 and that is the 160 price was too high, but once it went down to 129-139, all of a sudden, they were everywhere.
But once you put them on and wear them, you see why they are worth 160 and are more willing to buy it at that price too. Already did that once, and will be doing it again this weekend (getting those Air Attack 2010 in black/neon)
Plan on seeing a review of these kicks, more pics, and so forth once the site opens up. Just diggin in those sneaker crates…
Nike Shox USA… USA… USA…
(now these are some old kicks)
I don’t even remember when I got them, that is how old they are. And because I haven’t worn them in years, when I actually put them on a few days ago (to go work out… which I ended up not doing), they did some weird squeaking and just felt like someone scratching a chalkboard without the chalkboard.
While I don’t plan on doing a full review of these kicks, I do have a preview 2 minute video of the sneakers coming your way as well as some pics.
Man, I am digging in those crate boy… for real, I think I got some sneaker and shoes that I think deserve to get some shine.
Air Jordan OUTDOOR 2010 – For the love of the game
The Air Jordan IX Retro is apparently inspired by Japanese culture. It has Air-Sole units in the forefoot and heel, a rubber outsole with outrigger, innersleeve and a lightweight polyurethane midsole.
(I can only imagine a whole team wearing these)
Ok, this ”for the love of the game” pack has a nice look. Now, of course the most wanted by the sneakernets are the Air Jordan 9′s. But as far as I see it, the most interesting kicks of the 4 are the Air Jordan 2010 outdoor.
The news hit about a week+ ago and there was much to say about them across the blogs and amongst the commenters… not all positive/not all negative… depending on the kick your looking at.
Here is the line up so far:
Air Jordan 2010 OUTDOOR
The Air Jordan 2010 Outdoor has been designed from the ground-up for rugged blacktop play and its Uni-Blue colourway is symbolic of Michael Jordan’s personal motto on which the pack is based. The AJ 2010 Outdoor also features a fitting six-row stitch pattern across the forefoot to commemorate his six chips. Designed under Nike’s Considered Design ethos, this kick comes complete with a top loaded forefoot Zoom Air unit and heel Air-Sole unit for impact protection, as well as a contoured Phylon midsole, solid rubber herringbone outsole, internal shank plate and molded foam collar.
Jordan Pre-Game XT
The Jordan Pre-Game XT on the other hand is a ‘revolutionary’ basketball training shoe that has been conceived to help athletes become more agile during footwork-focused drills.
Air Jordan 9
The Air Jordan IX Retro is apparently inspired by Japanese culture. It has Air-Sole units in the forefoot and heel, a rubber outsole with outrigger, innersleeve and a lightweight polyurethane midsole.
Air Jordan Alpha 1 Outdoor
Air Jordan Alpha I Outdoor is a revamped version of the sneaker that started it all. Featuring a full-length Zoom Air unit, Phylon midsole, lightweight durable synthetic materials and enhanced interior comfort lining
Sneakernews has a special report on Brand Jordan having a special fall 2010 showcase. It’s a nice event, but I have one question… who will be playing basketball outdoors in the Fall? Isn’t that more of a summer thing to do?
I’m looking forward to more info on these kicks. Cna’t wait till it hits the sneakernets to see what they will look like at more angles. You can find out more on SneakerFreaker.com RIGHT HERE
PS
They keep talking about NYC as the center of basketball during the summer… other than West 4th street and Rucker Park, I am wondering where else the games are happening around the city… need to do some research on that.
Another Jezign Pic… shouldn’t you give Jezign a chance?
(so far, so good with these kicks)
I cant complain too much about the Jezign sneakers. It definitely a fashion sneaker, not a comfort one, but it is comfortable considering that there is a 9 volt battery in the tongue.
Full review coming soon on the main site when it opens. In the mean time, I will be posting more pics, pics of the sneaker “in the wild” and maybe create a couple of wallpapers to boot.
Still haven’t decided whether or not I should get the Night Eagle (the basketball version) of these kicks, but if I get them, yall will be the first to know.
Air Max 2010 AIR ATTACK – volt/volt on volt… still on sale yall so when you getting them?
(seriously, even Rihanna got them)
Ok, its not my style so I wouldn’t get them, but there is something very nice about them that is for sure. Maybe its the details the sneaker has that gives it the shadow play necessary to look good even in a solid colorway.
Whatever the reason they look good and extremely bold, the bottom line is that it can work as a fashion look if that is what you are looking for.

You can get them RIGHT HERE at NikeStore.com for $160
Nike LT 2.1 Shark Men’s Football Cleat
(this is one very nice looking football cleat)
I haven’t played Football in a long time, but if I did I would want these. There is something slick, and even ominous, about these kicks. I think they are very well designed (at least from looking from the pics) and would be a great style look for those who play the game of football.

There are only 5 reviews on NikeStore about these sneakers and the word awesome comes up allot. If you want to give them a look over, take a look RIGHT HERE and see if they are for you.
The Air Jordan 2010 OUTDOOR For the Love of the Game… could this sneaker look better than the AJ 2010?
(slowly changing my mind about these)
I don’t know… I hated these kicks when i first saw them, but those colorways are making me think twice about actually getting.
Especially since I did play in the Air Raids back in the day and the cross strap really helped keep the sneaker on your feet.
I think if you are actually playing outsdoors, then maybe you should consider these as something to get.
Jezign Night Eagle in White… still available on the Jezign website
(and at 49.99, why not give it a shot?)
I don’t have a review yet of the Jezign kicks, but from what I have done with them so far they seem pretty alright. Haven’t walked any distance with them yet (the area where the battery is stored is somewhat a problem because it rubs up against your foot), but I will have a review of them in a month.
But I have the Bubble Cloud, not the Night Eagle. Now sure at all how the Night Eagle will perform on the court. I still think these are more about fashion and fun then playing hard on the court, but hey, fun is fun right?
The price is so low, maybe I will get the them. One thing is for sure, for those who are collectors of sneaker culture, you may want to get a pair especially since it won’t hurt your wallet very much.
Jezign Bubble Cloud… should people have given them a real shot?
(you know these are actually pretty nice
Review coming soon for these kicks. I will admit I didn’t wear them as much as I should have in order to really give them a full review, but I will be doing so shortly.
I have to admit though that these kicks are not made for comfort as much as made for coolness points and being fashion forward. I still want to give them a little more wear and tear before I give my final say, but so far I have to say that they are some pretty cool kicks.
Wouldn’t go for long walks with them though…
New Balance 927 Ultimate Walker… looking forward to reviewing these
(hope this works)
Ok, so I have a problem… a foot problem. I guess I’m going to get a little personal here about my own feet and that personal info is that I have a Bunion.
Yes, a bunion (more info RIGHT HERE… yes I know its Wikipedia but it seems accurate and has the most info on the subject)
So, since I am on my feet all day at work, I need something that will help me with my little foot problem. In fact it may be because I am on my feet all day and the shoes I wear that helped create this bunion…
What ever the cause, the bottom line is that I have one, and now I need a sneaker (or shoe) that is just as comfortable as the footwear I have been wearing but allows my foot to heel itself. Hopefully New Balance can come to the rescue with this 927 walker.

Air Jordan Fusion 6 + 17 = dude… WTF?
(no WAY I’m letting this one go)
I gonna have ALLOT to say about this one, for for now all I am gonna write is this…. Whahhahahahaaaahaha????!!!!
(PS – there are some good things to say about these kicks… the rest are, let me say, not so good)
Hey, don’t forget about Nicholas Kirkwood
(if you buy 10 of these kicks, you can get a small car)
Now that’s a nice lead in for the shoe that will most certainly knock onlookers on their feet. Its still on sale (maybe because the price is high enough to buy a laptop?) and if you want your look to go upscale and unique (cause how many people are gonna buy a 1000+ shoe?), maybe you want to take a look.
Nine West Sydney
(hey sexy lady…)
Looks good without having to spend 500-1000+ dollars. Nine West got you covered. For $100 bucks you can have something for the beGrown_beSexy crowd without emptying your wallet to do it. You look nice and such and such (insert positive comment).
So you gonna get them? Head over to Nine West RIGHT HERE and take a look.
Air Jordan x UNDERTOW… on hawt looking sneaker
(ummmm, me thinks Jordan should team up more often)
Now this is one good looking mix of colors and style. I think Brand Jordan should just let this be a general release (or at least a limited one) and give people what they want… a good colorway for a great sneaker.
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
Ok, I’m just gonna say it – Air Jordan 2010, while may be one of the best Air Jordans made, looks like crap. Yeah I said it. These sneaker are a pair of kicks that need you to be very specific with materials and colorways in order for it to look good.
Now lets be clear, I am not talking about performance, I am talking about looks.
Please team up with somebody Brand Jordan, and get it poppin! This is an awesome colorway and collabo and to not allow others to get their hands on it seems a little off.
You can see the review of the kicks and so forth on SneakerFreaker.com RIGHT HERE.
