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)
Football Time… I mean soccer time… Nike CTR360 Maestri Elite FG
(can’t walk around in the streets with these)
This is a pretty slick look , especially the hazard pattern on the side. And for $300 USD you get a description of this sneaker unlike any other sneaker.
This is just part of the details:
The Nike CTR360 Maestri football boot was specifically designed for the player looking to master control on the pitch. The upper portion of the cleat has been refined at key contact points for receiving and distributing the ball, while Kanga-Lite synthetic leather provides a feel similar to kangaroo leathe. Groundbreaking lateral forefoot dampening pods help with control and a unique asymmetrical lacing design crates an expanded ball control surface. Aided by a carbon fiber sole unit, this retooled Elite Series version provides the same exceptional control at each touch, while stripping away 19% of its original weight.
Annnnnnnddddd….
- Revolutionary Kanga-Lite synthetic leather provides remarkable comfort, fit and performance, whatever the conditions
- Injected pass pad on the medial side to help with ball distribution
- Asymmetric, anatomically engineered lacing system increases ball control surface
- Advanced shape-correcting memory foam that adapts to the demands of each player
- Anatomically contoured sockliner with special inserts for fit and comfort
- Technically advanced shape-correcting memory foam and injected instep pass pad for ruthless distribution
- Full-length thermoplastic composite carbon reinforced chassis engineered for incredible energy return and strength
Yes so that’s allot of info and it really keeps going. You can’t have enough info if your paying that amount of money for a pair of kicks that HAS to perform. We are talking about football (soccer) here.
You want to know more, then check it OUT HERE at NikeStore.com
Reebok Zig Tech is taking over football apparently
(wow… I know you see it with those colors)
Reebok is really pushing this out.You getting videos on the net, people running around on the stage with lab coats on… I mean it really getting crazy. Now you can customize them to your liking on the Reebok website for an extra 25 bucks.
First seen on Sole Magazine HERE
Who thinks these will get retro’ed 10 years from now?
The Nike Total90 Laser III Soccer Cleat
(the best 200 dollars you will ever spend…)
(wait… how much?)
For $200 bucks, you sure do get a whole bunch of features. And when I say a whole bunch of features, i mean a whole bunch:
- Kanga-Lite synthetic-leather upper for superior fit, performance and comfort in all conditions
- Adaptive Shotshield technology for instep and swerve-kicking accuracy
- Asymmetric, anatomically engineered lacing system for expanded ball-control surface
- Reconfigured eyestay for a cleaner ball-striking surface and easier fit and adjustment
- Asymmetric tongue design following the natural lines of the foot to avoid unnatural restriction of movement
- Reinforced external heel counter on the lateral side for maximum comfort and stability
- Distinctive electric green, red and black color combination for added visibility on the pitch
- Firm-ground (FG) cleats for use on short-grass fields that may be slightly wet, but rarely muddy

This sneaker is obviously for the serious soccer (football) fanatic who wants the best offered and is willing to pay for it. I have to admit that I have no idea if this thing works as advertised (nor am I that into soccer aka Football), but this thing has a visual style and taste that would make this a collectible for anyone who collects footwear (to put in the closet or to wear + put in the closet).
Yup, just another post on sports kicks… you aint wearing these on the streets, even though I am sure someone may really want to. Currently at NikeStore.com right HERE.
Nike Snowboarding x Arbito – Zoom Force 1 Boot… because Pharrell likes to snowboard
(not even on the slopes would I wear these… but they do look nice)
Sneakernews.com posted this a few weeks ago and I have to say they are pretty good looking BUT there would be no way on Earth that I would wear them. Its just not my style but apparently it fits Pharrell quite nicely because he managed to work it out.
I am sure even on the slopes, these would look rather tame. I had some loud snow gear in my time and it looked pretty nice in the snow background so I don’t think these look that crazy… in the snow.
But I still wouldn’t wear them lol WAY too much going on. I would, if I could, add them to my collection and totally admire the artwork on them. Once I have totally appreicated them art wise, I would eventually give it away to charity (or auction it off to charity) because shoes are meant to be worn sooner or later, right?
No release info. ARBITO website is HERE.
Sooooooo… TW Air Zoom 2009 Men’s Golf Shoe anyone?
(it’s a pretty detailed shoe…)
This is a really nice looking shoe. Golfers out there in the world, what do you think? What does TW mean you ask? Golf… TW… drama… divorce… Yes Tiger Woods. This is Tiger Woods Signature golf shoe. Funny though… maybe this is why Nike didn’t give him up like the other companies did because his name isn’t directly on the sneaker or other main products.
Hmmmm… well anyway for a 200+ dolla shoe (you though Jordans was expensive?) it seems to sell because there are not many sizes left BUT the price has been cut down to a simple $229.99. That’s better than 270…
Details:
- Premium full-grain leather upper for a soft, supportive fit
- Full-length Poron sockliner for instant comfort over the life of the shoe
- Lateral stabilizer for the ultimate in balance and smooth weight transfer
- Low profile heel Zoom unit for responsive cushioning with stability
- Nike Power Platform TW outsole for the optimal combination of power and flexibility
- Scorpion Stinger Spikes with Q-LOK system for a firm grip
- Watershield Plus technology keeps water out while the foot stays dry
- Two-year limited waterproof warranty
From Nike
The reviews (all 4 of them) are pretty posituve. So if you are thinking about golfing, maybe give these a chance. Get them now at NikeStore HERE.
Looks like NikeStore website got a little update…
(looking better NikeStore)
I won’t go into a big ole rant about it (maybe later… and will probably feature it on the main site too lol… FYI – usually keep the rants to the blog and as well as my KicksOnFire blog where i may get a little more… direct shall we say) but I have to say the little touch up on the site just may make it worth going to the site to shop.
I hardly ever shop on the NikeStore and mainly it is because the site is TOTALLY flash based and it just gets annoying after a while. Maybe, one day, they will use flash far less but for now I have to say that the small update in the user interface is very noteworthy.
Check it out for yourself by clicking HERE
PS
The name of the shoe in the pic is the Nike Bandon Men’s Golf Shoe… in case you were wondering.
Nike Air Flight Huarache…. an ugly sandal or a history making basketball sneaker?
(which side are YOU on????)
Osneaker.com has some pairs if you wish to purchase. Never shopped there before but I here its ok. Buyer beware!

Fresh of the Presses From Eastbay… from way back in August…
(a Nike lookbook inside of the Eastbay catalog)
whoops!!! Meant to post this a while back. but I figure someone out there may want to know this…
Looks like a new colorway for the Air Max 2009+ is coming and it looks like it will be one of the hotter ones too. I love my current Air Max 2009+ and even though I have not run in them as much as I was supposed to, I have to say that they are very comfortable. Probably the most comfortable sneaker my feet have ever been in (it even passes the Reebok DMX 10 of which was the most comfortable sneaker I ever wore… I think those were the only Reeboks that I bought 2 different colorways of) and I look forward to getting another pair .
But which colorway?
There are other sneakers from Nike in the look book including the Lunalite (of which I just HAVE to try) and those free foot sneaker sole designs.
Would You Buy These Motorcycle Shoes? Alpinestars Octane
(but what about black and red?)
(nice)
To me they actually look pretty good and obviously they are functional for what you will be putting them through…. BUT, is it somehting a rider would buy or whould they just buy a regualr pair of kicks?
If you are a biker, do you wear Alpinestars?
So Which Hyperpizer Are You? Just Call Me Velvet Hoop lol
(this is as corn ball as it gets… but it works for me)
Glad I saw the whole video cause seeing it in pieces didn’t work for me when I saw it on TV. I can’t imagine it worked for many other people either because it really seemed like something was missing. Now knowing the whole story, I actually like the idea way more than when i first saw it months ago.
Of which makes me wonder; As the basketball season goes on I wonder if they will continue with they Hyperizer movement or will the whole idea and commercials fade away? I guess we will find out.
So Just What Would A Jordan Sneaker From adidas Look Like?
(I think this would be an interesting contest… yes?)
I would love to know what a adidad version of the Air Jordan (well, I guess it wouldn’t be “Air”… maybe “bounce” or something) would look like. The Shoe Game posted the video first and the comments on the video is crazy, but the one thing really left out was what WOULD it really look like.
So I was thinking of doing some of my own doodles and come up with a adidas line for Micheal Jordan…. but then I was thinking why not also ask the Shoe Game communitty to come up with some concepts? Heck, why not also ask some of those artists at the Kicks On Fire community and maybe NikeTalk too and see what they come up with.
So I am going to ask, and then post it. I guess people can vote on which adidas Jordan is the best or most likely to have happened. Until then, enjoy your holiday weekend! I am sure most of the sneakernets and the shoelovers are away for the weekend so it will be a slow weekend, but take heart because Tuesday is when it all starts all over again!
Even TechCrunch (a technology blog) Loves Vibram Five Finger Shoes
(well, I first seen it on TechCrunch but its really on CrunchGear…. big difference lol)
And how did such a post do on a technology and gadget blog? It did very well (191 comments so far) and it spurred a second post as well on running later on here. I almost think that the one person I saw wearing them after the post was made was wearing them because of the post on CrunchGear… but I didn’t get a chance to ask him so I will never know.
I guess I gota make a list of these new wave footwear that has been coming out as of late. Between MBT, Skechers (and their MTB look alike), and Vibram “feet you wear… literally” sneakers, it looks like technology for the feet is still moving forward.
I know I am going to give that Vibram a shot. $70+ dollars seems a little expensive for something that you just want to try out, but I will give them a shot and report back.
(remember we weren’t born with shoes… its true lol)
(don’t expect me to do any of that type of testing though)

Yes take a look at this. Its one of the most popular things read on Sneaker and Shoes for the past week.
adidas Men’s Microbounce+ FH 08 is On Sale
(well now isn’t this interesting???)
I never was too into the microbounce from adidas, but these look rather fetching. As I was browsing Finishline I came across these (and the other colorway) and I will admit that they look really cool and smooth.
Plenty of sizes left and the price has been cut by 20 bucks to $99.99
Details:
- adidas Mens’ Running Shoes
- Bounce provides smooth, resilient cushioning
- Thin mesh layers in upper for maximum breathability and light weight; TPU welds for lightweight support and structural integrity
- adiWEAR outsole offers the ultimate in high-wear durability
I may… may… give them a shot when I head to the local sneaker shop next week.
On Sale: Nike Men’s LunarGlide+ at Finishline
(it almost looks like a normal sneakers… for $99.99)
This sneaker is just freaking intriguing. I have always wondered if this “lunar” technology would actually come in a sneaker that would look good. I did not like the first lunar sneakers (although I did try it on and it was rather comfy) due to the fact that in any size about 10 (I am a size 12) looks like a boat.
Now look at it! This just looks like something that regualr people would wear who may not know of all the tech that goes behind it. In fact I have already seen this particular sneaker 2 times this week verses NO TIME for the lunar space boat of previous generations.
I think I would love to try a pair and in fact this is one of the sneakers on my top ten sneaker list that I am working on (and yes I am doing a list for shoes as well)
Details…
The Feet You Wear… no seriously, it actually looks like feet
(why didn’t anybody else think of this? LMAO)
Now this is just crazy! Nothing like adidas “foot you wear” system (of which I also like) and it has some details that just make the sneaker (?) even more interesting:
When you’re scrambling up a rocky bluff or bounding along a riverbank, the last thing you want is gravel and grit seeping into your FiveFingers. The KSO is an all-new design with thin, abrasion-resistant stretch polyamide and breathable stretch mesh that wraps your entire forefoot to “Keep Stuff Out.” A single hook-and-loop closure helps secure the fit. Non-marking Vibram TC1 performance rubber soles are razor-siped for a sure grip.
KSO IS BEST FOR: Light Trekking, Climbing, Canyoneering, Running, Fitness Training, Martial Arts, Yoga, Pilates, Sailing, Boating, Kayaking, Canoeing, Surfing, Flats Fishing, Travel
Materials:
UPPER – abrasion-resistant stretch polyamide fabric & Hypalon® straps

FOOTBED- Antimicrobial microfiber*Machine washable. Air dry.

And it just doesn’t stop there.
On Sale: Jordan Jeter Captain on Eastbay
(what can I say bout this other than to each his own)
This is one of those sneakers that is good looking (very good looking actually) on the field but on the street it may need a little more something something…
As of late, I see plenty of people coming from the baseball field and one of the sneakers I see on their feet is this (as well as others). I am sure if they came up with some more colorways for this sneaker, that this sneaker will make its way on the streets on massé. Because of this I will temporarily put this sneaker on the Save-A-Sneaker program, but I don’t think it will be on their for long.
Details from Eastbay:
Derek Jeter is known for his clutch plays in the field and on the plate. Dominate the game with the Jordan Jeter Captain, a superior training shoe inspired by Derek Jeter that allows athletes to take their game to the next level. Leather and synthetic leather upper includes an asymmetrical toe-cap for added protection against toe drag. Lateral window in the ankle area offers freedom of movement. Air® unit in the heel supplies maximum cushioning with minimal weight. Midsole flex grooves extend up the medial and lateral forefoot for added performance. Rubber sole includes expanded herringbone and nub traction for multi-surface workouts.
For 109.99 you can get these on your feet and on the field. I like how they have large sizes for those with lare feet (too bad Nike just doesn’t believe in having widths for sneakers that are popular).
Nike Air Max LIVESTRONG Release
(just want to say that this was a solid release right here)
(and it got meaning too… look good and feel good)
Future Release: Nike Air Max ST = HAWT
(retro fresh for your feet)
There is just something about this sneaker that brings back memories. Its a nice clean sneaker, that’s for sure and I do appreiceate the technology that was put into it at the time (of which was 1992).
Nike unleashed the Air Max ST, at the time, its most technologically advanced running model yet. The shoe featured a much larger Air sole unit in the heel than had ever been used on a Nike running shoe and also added an Air unit in the front of the shoe as well. The Air Max ST also incorporated Nike’s Footbridge technology to even further improve cushioning and comfort. Other nice features of the ST were the breathable leather/mesh upper and the addition of a Neoprene tongue

Sounds great for running in as well. And the retro movement continues…
Tennis shoes wear car rubber
(who calls sneakers tennis shoes anymore??? lol @ Autoblog for that)
These tennis shoes (of which, by the way, are made to be used… get this… for tennis… but I am just saying who says “tennis shoes”?) are made of rubber from a tire. Will this work or will it just get a so-so reaction like the Pony and PPG clear-coat paint on a sneaker? (Of which I liked, by the way, because it did what many sneaker companies try to do with patent leather all the damn time.)
Here is a quote from Autoblog.com:
With a tennis player’s movements centered around “acceleration, braking, grip and relaunch” on a variety of different surfaces, the Michelin R&D lab probably had a good idea of what kind of rubber was needed. Michelin mated rubber technology from its auto racing programs with a revised version of its Optimized Cell System that uses seamless circular micro-cells inspired by rally racing tires. The result is said to be exceptional grip and durability. And if it’s good enough for Sebastien Loeb, there’s a good chance it’s good enough for the U. S. Open…
The sneaker are limited. I would have to say that if you are collecting sneakers (and shoes) you might want to get your hands on this. Will Nike ever do a collabo with Micheline or PPG? The world may never know.
PS
I hope Pony does that PPG thing again… i missed out last time, but won’t do that again if they re-release some fresh ones. Definaitly a collectible because of the car paint fresh on them… crazy.
S & S Sports EXTRA – Micheal Jordan Cries, Freshmen Step Up, And Superman Has A Baby
Look what happened by the time some of us went to bed 9or was still at work):
Freshman steps in, Mizzou beats Marquette 83-79 (with video!!!)
The Missouri freshman was brilliant through all of it—and never more clutch than when he came off the bench to “pinch shoot” for the injured J.T. Tiller with 5.5 seconds left Sunday.
English made both free throws to give the Tigers the go-ahead points in an 83-79 victory over Marquette.
Yes, folks, this is how stars are born in the NCAA tournament.
“He was sitting there auditioning for it,” Missouri coach Mike Anderson said. “Kim, he just gave me that look, and sometimes you just have that feeling and he went up and shot the ball well.”

Griffin show storms into Sweet 16 (also WITH VIDEO lol)
Late in Saturday’s game, as Oklahoma’s Blake Griffin stepped to the free-throw line, a heckler began taunting the nation’s best player.
“Hey Griffin!” the fan said. “Guess what! You’re not Superman!”
Zack Novak may have a different opinion. He, after all, was the Michigan player who Griffin soared over for a posterizing dunk that’s sure to be replayed thousands of times on YouTube, “SportsCenter” – and in Novak’s nightmares.
“Honestly, I’m kind of numb to that stuff now,” said Taylor Griffin, Blake’s brother and teammate. “That’s just what he does. It’s always something big. It can’t just be a normal dunk. He has to bring the house down.”
The Sprint Center crowd went bananas when Griffin flexed his muscles after the slam – and things really got loud about 10 minutes later, when the final horn sounded in Oklahoma’s 73-63 victory.

And yes, this is another video that you must watch. Man these play offs this year just seems to be the best in the lst few years to me for some reason. could be wrong though…
Jordan’s son wins state championship
And finally and probably will be the most talked about story on the sneaker blogs, Micheal Jordan’s son (and team of course) wins the state championship. I guess his sneaker credit just went up.
(looks like a sneaker got hurt in the fight)
One sneaker harmed, no shoes hurt… those Wolverine sneakers that are suppossed to come out later this year will feel the pinch. No doubt it would have had more value if the Wolverines went all the way or close to it.
S&S Sports Sunday: Refs Miss A Timeout, One Small NCAA Player, And A Sign Nazi
Ref miss the timeout call
(would it have mattered??? maybe)
She is the shortest player on the team at 4’6″ and SHE GOT GAME
(she wears a size 1 Air Jordan in case you were wondering)
Guard Cold Snatched John 3:16 Poster From Fan
(did you see how he came up on him like in stealth mode and snatched that joint?)
Another week has past and we have some crazy stuff to talk about. For example would have Kentucky had any chance of winning the game if they called the time out with .9 second left? Maybe. The other team won by 2 points so why not? But with both teams wearing Nike sneakers, I doubt Nike will care lol.
And check out home girl! 4’6″ tall and is not only on the team, she is a starter. You have to watch the video cause you will see she has allot to conquer over than just her hieght. Oh and guys, she has a boyfriend so you can stop thinking about it. I tried to see what Jordans she was wearing but the video wasn’t that clear. Damn, right now women are doing their thing on court and off court these last few weeks.
And did I mention the security guard who straight snatched the poster? I don’t know how many of you guys here are from the 80′s and 90′s but the guys he took it from looked like a herb afterwards…. He got cold jacked son LMAO His body, language looks like “Damn, he took my sign! *starts to cry*”
And then, there was more… (more…)
Video For NIKEiD Hyperdunks
(its nice to see a video of these sneakers)
I am a fan of the Hyperdunks, but not too into how they look. I am sure they play well though and do have a plan on getting them to play in and then I will see for myself, but as far as attractiveness they are just ok too me (except those Marty McFly Hyperdunks… AWESOME!!! Just shows wht a good colorway can do to a sneaker). Putting they Hyperdunk on NIKEiD (just in time for March Madness and April’s playoffs) for personal customization is a good idea. I will be taking advantage of it.
(the McFly is… fly)
(my own creation based off of what some guy was wearing in the subway)
(I call it Pink Diamonds by the way… really girly isn’t it?)
Nicekicks has a March Madness of sneakers votes on its website, so give that a look too. I will be posting what I voted for and how LAME everyone who vaoted against me is at a later time lol
WOULD YOU LIKE TO WIN A PAIR OF NIKE iD Pink Diamonds?
(makes a nice wallpaper, don’t it?)
Thinking I may have a contest on my little ole blog and the winner gets a pair of NIKEiD Hyperdunks in this colorway. Now of course you can make this colorway yourself, but why do that when you could possibly win one for free? And yes, the contest, if I do it, will be open to girls and boys (18 and over unless your parents will pick up the sneaker… US residents only)
