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.

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.
SneakerFreaker review of the Nike Hyperfuse
(SO SUDECTIVE)
The Hyperfuse may just be the most popular basketball sneaker that you may never buy… but hey, I could be wrong.
Personally I just don’t see people getting them for casual wear, but if you play ball, you will want to at least try these on. MAAAAAAaaaad light.
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
Why do I think people won’t get them? Nike Zoom Kobe V – the lightest basketball sneaker that also performs nevertheless, at least in NYC, you will not see too many people wearing them. Just not wearing them. No matter how many colorway, it just doesn’t show up.
But hey, I could be wrong. I mean NYC isn’t the only place that buys sneakers (although sometime I may make it sound like that lol). On thing is for sure, the sneakernets love these kicks.
Air Jordan 5 TORO BRAVO in reflective
(reflectively amazing)
In my blurry pic that I hope comes out better when I take the shot later, you see the all glorous Toro Bravo. One of the more popular packs released way back when incuded the pair you see above as well as a mostly red brushed leather AJ5
It was a very unique pack to say the least. Count on a diggin in the sneaker crate review of them coming soon. More shots on the way also.
One thin I must say is that I am very impressed that years later the clear soles still are clear and have very little yellowing. Not sure how that came to be considering other kicks that never left the box are as yellow as hell… starting to think the box and the paper it came with may be the reason for this, but who knows.
Anybody else still have their Toro’s? How is your kicks doing?
Air Jordan 22 Omega Wallpaper…
(nice and yellow)
If I had to say one good thing about the Air Jordan 22… ok ok, other than the sneakers comfort level (very high) and the ability to swap out cushioning pads (really nice)
So let me restate that – one of the best parts of the Air Jordan 22 was the sole. it looks so nice and it seemed like allot of thought went into it. The best part is that not only does it look good, but it is very fuctional too.
So I thought to myself, it would make for a great wallpaper.
More to come, just thought I would give a taste
Air Jordan 23 in Black and Red… carbon jordan
(can you imagine if that was ACTUALLY carbon?)
I know I keep saying that I want to create this theme that matches some of my kicks, but I can’t help myself. This picture totally inspired me to make a matching cursor (using CursorFX from Stardock) and maybe do a couple more shots to make some wallpapers.
Anyway, just figured I post a shot. Think it would make a really nice wallpaper.
Rihanna Doing It Up in Air Max 2010 AIR ATTACK… no clouds in my stones
(we fly high together… you know me!)
Seen this as it crossed the sneakernet wires yesterday… all I have to say is WOW. Ladies, if you’re reading this, this is how you turn a guys head. A very simple outfit with some killer kicks on.

To top it off, she does it in the brightest, yellowest, neon-ist (real word?) sneakers in the Air Attack line up.
It doesn’t get any better than this. First seen on The ShoeGame with pics via JustJared.com
<< “chartreuse sneakers” LOL really Just Jared? Ok ok, I don’t expect everybody to know its officially called volt (its volt volt/volt to be specific lol) and is part of the Air Attack series of kicks.
>> oh and another BTW moment, while I was on the site there was a link to dress up like Rihanna was currently wearing… shouldn’t be too hard to find a Nike sweatsuit and those Air Attack Volt/Volt on Volt. Anyway, here is what you can do to have that look:
Nike Air Max 2010 Air Attack volt/volt >> RIGHT HERE at NikeStore.com
Sunglasses >> RIGHT HERE
Sweat Suits >> RIGHT HERE (hoody) – and – RIGHT HERE (pants)

Air Max 2010…. I really want these on my feet
(not sure bout those yellow laces though)
I am not a fan of yellow, but the sneaker has enough black to make the yellow not so beamingly yellow. Its a slick sneaker as far as I see it. Not sure why many in the sneakernets don’t like it as far as looks are concerned (and yet are floored by the look of the 2011… of which I am not sure about).
Make no mistake, no matter how bad or good the sneaker looks, this sneaker is AWESOMELY comfortable. Running in them is pretty cool too (but not the best for me though unless I am running on grass or track surface) and walking in them is totally freakin awesome.
Sooooooooo… the Air max 2010 is a must get. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon, and for the rest of your life.
I believe the Air Max 2010 is a Finishline exclusive (I think) but you can also get them at NikeStore.com RIGHT HERE
(yeah i know i wrote on the air max 2010 before… expect me to do it again lol)
The LeBron 8… the sneakernets speaks!!!
(looking good for LeBron)
The LeBron 8 preview shots has hit the sneakernets and the sneakernets responds…

For a sneaker that you can’t see the whole thing of, it sure got some interesting opinions from people. Me personally, I love it! I can not imagine how this sneaker can look bad given some of these shots – shots of which basically tell you what the sneaker looks like.
Its not going to be as light as the Kobe V’s (or IS it???) but I am sure they will perform really nicely. I may, just maybe, get a pair and play in them to see just how well they play.
But as far as the look department is conserned, they look real good so far. Can’t imagine what they are going to do with it when the colorways start coming out…
The Sneakernets SPEAKS!!!
BUT HERE IS THE QUESTION… what are people saying online on some of the biggest sneaker sites on the net? Lets take a look.
I swear this sneaker just can’t get sold – Nike Half Cent in green-spark/black
(the half-penny blues)
Despite the classic styling and acclaimed comfort this pair of kicks can not get off the shelf. Not only is it still available, but its on sale AND many of the sizes are still available as well.
At a price of $151 USD you can get them RIGHT HERE at NikeStore.com

If your looking for a sneaker to play ball in and wanted to try this hybrid on the court (outside or inside), then maybe this is what you should get cause the price is most certainly right.
Nike RT1 High… still some left
(why were people hating on this sneaker?)
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
I think there was a reason why Jay-Z was caught a few times wearing these kicks and that is because they are some good looking sneakers.
The reviews on this sneaker are pretty plentiful and most state how the sneaker is comfortable. It may be a sneaker you wish to check out, even if it came out a while ago. For more info click RIGHT HERE.
