DeBate on My.KicksOnFire: Which Jordans Do You Think Are The Most Comfortable EVER????
(and the winner – well at least for me – is)
(ok ok ok… but which Jordan did the posters pick?)
Second place was the AJ 11 (unless I counted wrong) and 3rd was the AJ V’s. Many mentioned more than one Air Jordan (even 3) as the best instead of just one but over all it was the Air Jordan 8 that came up the most.
What’s funny about that pick is that is is know that Micheal Jordan had some problems playing in that pair (at least that is what was said about them). So something that may not have worked on the court as well seemed to be well received at least on this forum post.
You can read it for yourself here if you wish.
If you have a Kicks On Fire account it will make it easier to state your option as well.

Metalically Awesome… Nike Royal Mid
(why can’t I stop using that word awesome??? lol)
This si only for people who have enough style and just plain balls to wear (whether your a guy or a gal lol). I must agree with FreshnessMag that this sneaker looks like it somewhere between space age and retro.
Don’t tell me the retro /space age movement has ended just yet.
(also can be seen on HighSnob)
Yes you can get this this fall 2009. Haven’t see any prices or if it will be some sort of exclusive aka limited type of sneaker so just hope more news comes out when it releases.
Wow… $460 Bucks For The Air Jordan 11 SPACE JAM
(that’s a whole lot of dough… talk about braking bread)
And I quote from Nicekicks.com:
The shoes will be $175 when they release later this year, but if you want to get them early, eBay seller SUPREMExCLIENTELE is offering them with Buy It Now’s for $460…about $300 more than the sticker price.
Is $460 too much to, not only get yours first, but to ensure you get them at all? There were some complaints about the price and it being so far above the original $175 (which is also higher than the original cost of the AJ11′s) but I would conclude that this is one special sneaker release and people want the early beat on these sneakers.
And school is starting soon too
And in NYC you have the Labor Day parade and all the parties the few days before the parade. That’s a whole lot of showing off your swagger (gawd I hate that word).
I wish/hope that Brand Jordan makes sure that there are enough AJ11′s to buy even though it is a limited release. I had no problem getting the “quickstrike” and “limited” of a few Jordans (which made me wonder if quickstrike and limited means the same thing anymore), but I just hope that when they say limited for the AJ11, what it really means is “hurry up and get to the store but you don’t have to stand online”.

I Love ACG and Sneaker Freaker Did A Special On It
(I love me some ACG’s… ok, ok, not all of them lol)
Sneaker Freaker has a special on ACG, where the idea come from, and other such info that I am sure ACG fans would want to know.
I bought 2 Air Mowabbs myself (different colorways and yes I got the purple and dark brown one) and I have plenty of those Nike ACG boots.
Here is a quote from part one:
For gear that was designed solely for the outdoors, you’d think ACG would look suspiciously antisocial in the urban environment, but that’s never been the case. The consistent hallmark of all Nike shoe design is performance, but they also generally look good in any application and ACG just might be the pinnacle of this dual achievement. Lightweight sneakers for the outdoors that are versatile has been the ethos, but there is no doubting the freedom the designers have had to push the limit.
And now one from part two:
Sneaker Freaker: When an anniversary’s on there’s a tendency to bring out all the retro hits… it seems like you’re going to resist that temptation?
Stewart Horner:
We have resisted it as much as possible and tried to not do the obvious. ACG has always been about breaking away from the norm a little bit. Even in our own world we try and do things a
little bit differently to the bigger Nike brand. There will be some NSW releases of ACG, particularly the Magma and we are using the Mowabb for example, but more from a colour perspective. Overall though, you can still definitely see the vintage flavour in the new stuff.
Its a must read. And you have to see some of the kicks that they came up with. That flywire boot is no joke.

Nicekicks Posts More Pics of Air Jordan Force Fusion 13
(the Air Jordan Fusion 13 = side eye)
And after 112 comments on the NiceKicks post (of which is still way more than the usual), what is the most agreed upon statement about these sneakers? LMAO SMH
I am sure many of you have seen this, but in case you haven’t here is the link to Nicekicks.
Sneaker Freaker Looks At Chris Aylen’s Vintage Sneaker Collection
(I love me some Air Max Tn!!!)
I loved these sneakers (although I just couldn’t bring myself to liking the mens colorways… now the womens colorways were SUPER HAWT) and when they made a hybrid of this sneaker and the Air Max 360, I supported the move mostly because anything with a Air Max Tn upper is going to turn heads (at least in women colorways).
But he has got more than just Air Max Tn’s in his collection.
(wild look, but still smooth… even in orange)
(got to look at the slides for more)
This is a very nice collection. I would seem that Chris is very into those Air Max Tn’s (one of my friends called them Tn’s for short… and she totally LOVED her pair to death).
There are 2 things I have to say to all collectors whether its sneakers or shoes or both, get what you like and love them.
The other thing is that I hope people expand to other brands as well to collect. Get some shoes in there! Get some sneakers other than Nike and Jordan. All I ask is give them a try.
For more info, head over to Sneaker Freaker
Air Jordan Fusion 13 Now In Black and White… and still a hot mess
(changing the colors helps a little… but not enough)
I am just not going to put the energy into commenting on this freakin mess of a fusion. I like the fusions and the hybrids, but this… take a look at what people are saying on sneakernews, KicksonFire, The Shoe Game, Sneakerfiles AND Nicekicks:
freshest 13 year old around
i like all da fusions dat came out but even i dnt like dez but i think dey will grow on me like da fusion 9s
Are there positive opinions of this sneaker? Sure
These are HOT S***! I don’t get all the fusion haters, if you don’t like them don’t buy them. I think these are probably the best looking fusions so far! And haters be damned cuz I’m most definitely picking these up.
Nevertheless, as far as this fusion is concerned, I give up. If is sells well, I can’t wait to see what people have to say… if it don’t… I can’t wait to see what people have to say. Personally, I will take a look at them in real life, but I refuse to ACTUALLY touch them with my hands LMAO
I will say one thing though, at least people are talking about it. Most of the time when it comes to sneaker or shoes if no one comments on them then its a total flop and no one care. Obviously people care and we will see if it is a flop when it get sold.

adidas Vulcanized Boot (KAZUKI OBYO COLLECTION) is like wow dude!!!!
(but are these really boots??? lol)
Here is the quote from Sneaker Freaker about this sneaker:
We’ve shown you the adidas x Jeremy Scott ObyO (Originals by Originals) collection, now it’s time to hit you with the 2nd installment, designed by Tokyo’s fashion darling Kazuki. Having worked closely with Japanese labels BAPE, Fragment Design, Neighborhood and Visvim in the past, Kazuki brings his flair for tailored fashion to the casual market with his inspiring collection for adidas. For more information on the collection, hit up the mini site at Hanon Shop.
So basically this is one hot looking boot and/or sneaker. adidas is a sneaker company I love, but for whatever reason they don’t seem to do to well in the casual area of footwear. Coming up with this makes me think that they are making a comeback to the shell top adidas days of the 1980′s.
Maybe some of these sneaker companies should team up with designers more often to come up with something that the streets will actually love.
Super Sale: Air Jordan Fusion V Grey Nurse
(back on sale if you want for $119.99 – no not 99.99 like the pic says)
One of the many AJF Fusion V’s released but it has a special meaning behind it. if you are into Jordan and a military buff, you will like this Grey Nurse. Its not $99 dollars like the last time it was on sale, but its still a pretty big sale.
Air Jordan Space Jam + Black Friday + QuickStrike = HypeBeasts
(why a quickstrike??? WHY?????)
I have NO IDEA why Brand Jordan and Nike has decided to make the Space Jam Air Jordan 11 a quickstrike (as some have reported) and I am not sure if it is a good idea or a bad one. It makes the release more coveted that’s for sure, but at the same time what will happen is that people who are just in it for the money will buy up the sneakers and then sell them online for some crazy profit. I don’t mind them making a few couple hundred off a pair, but several hundred to a thousand? No.
New Nike Air Force 1 Bespokes Are Freakin FRESH
(looks like whoever made these is ready for the fall)
While I can not afford it right now, I would sure like to buy something from 21 Mercer Street. Have you ever been to a sneaker store that you had to make an appointment to get in? More info and pics at SneakerNews.com
They don’t say who made it, or the other ones on Sneakernews.com, but whoever did them has some good taste.
…And Speaking Of Fake Looking Sneakers: Air Jordan Force XIII – Holiday 2009 Release
(I refuse to post the whole sneaker)
This has got to be the most OUTRAGEOUS release for the fusion family I have ever witnessed in my years of life. The mere posting of this picture on Sneakernews.com has blown up a usually quite comment section. As of this moment its 98 posts… And I am sure as this gets posted on many other sneaker blogs it will get WAY crazier than what’s going on and Senakernews.
At any rate, if I could somehow tell Brand Jordan what to do next, I would most definaitly tell them NOT TO DO THIS. This needs… no, DEMANDS a redesign. Please someone tell them to make that change and look at the man in the mirror (should out to Micheal Jackson).
(look familiar???? they even spelled “fusion” wrong!!!)
(what the hell is a “fushion”???)
I have seen those sneakers up there on many fake sneaker sites for quite a while. Are fake sneaker sites telling us something that we should know? Future releases being sneaked out through fake makers? Unbelievable…. This is most certainly on my SAVE-A-SNEAKER list and I don’t think a new colorway will save them either. Total life support for this fusions.
The only positive comment… and its not that positive, its more of a “live with it” and move on type post. Drama…
Nicekicks has a post on these too… 315 comments is most certainly MORE than the usualy 30-50 comments they get over there. I can only imagine that they are… very strongly worded… lol
Funniest comment:
I need Jigga on this one…DOF Death of Fusions!!! Stop the Blood Cloth Crying…
As this makes its way around the interwebs, I will be sure as heck to follow it.
Old Bo Knows VS New Bo Knows
(^^^ one cool looking old school Air Trainer ^^^)
(^^^ one cool looking update on a classic ^^^)
The new version looks very nice. Not too sure about the air bag at the end but you can’t get everything you want. Overall it is very well done. Don’t know the tech behind the new sneaker other than it is using Fly-Wire technology and it has air. The patent leather add-on makes it sound like this is more for play than for training but I am sure that won’t stop people who want to look great while working out from wearing them.
Air Jordan 5 Pack “Toro Bravo” Is FANTASTIC
(I just got them today!!!)
I wasn’t sure if these would be worth it. $330 bucks and bought from Finishline I really was thinking that I should have put this money to something else. Plenty of things come to mind as to where it could have gone including making sure I can get those AJ Spacejams and a pair of Supra’s (and maybe a pair of those Converse x UNDFTD Poorman sneakers) but alas, I think I made the right decision.
Don’t have a clue as to when I will wear them… or where, but I have them and love them. One of these days I will take pictures of them and post them.
Goodness Those Look Horrible – Jordan Dub Zero – Black – Laser Blue and Black – Taxi
(sneakernews… I hope you guys know I nearly barfed all over your site when I saw these)
(I am not mad at you guys though, just warn a brother when posting stuff like that)
(lol I told myself one post a day but I had to comment on these)
I saw someone wearing this colorway on the streets a few days ago and I was like, “How the hell they mess up a decent looking sneaker like the Dub Zero with this colorway?” I mean look at these things….
!!!LOOK AT IT!!!
WHO APPROAVED THIS COLORWAY? OK, ok calm down. it will be alright. It isn’t that bad. I can see some art and design cgoing into this look so I can’t be too upset, but I think it could have been done better. i don’t expect to see too many people in these in NYC and when i do, they seem to be worn by people playing team sports, coming home from practice and junk cause that is when I see them (I should find out what school lol)
Anyway, enough with this rant, back to working on the redesign of my blog and website.
Super Sale: Puma Men’s Basket Bode on Finishline
(guess what is on sale???)
For the special price that is under 30 Dollars, you can get your hands on a very comfortable pair of sneakers. I have a pair (bought the wrong size though cause I forgot Puma’s run a size small) and even though they are tight, they are still comfortable.
Nevertheless, I think I will get a new pair of 13′s. Sure glad I decided I need to start surfing the next for what’s out there cause I would have missed this one… and those Puma’s really look good.
So if you missed out, here is your chance to get them. Here is some history as told by the description on finishline and the article post on Nicekicks:
This casual Puma features the cartoon creation of late artist Vaughn Bodé. Comes laced with three colors of shoelaces with the star pattern of the Cheech Wizard’s hat. The interior of the shoe features the star print and Cheech Wizard sits on the tongue replacing the Puma cat logo.The star pattern is still prevalent on the exterior of the Bode Baskets, but depicted through glossy paint the same color of the upper. Complimenting the glossy finish, the Puma stripe on the side of the shoes is made of patent leather. Each pair comes laced with three colors of shoelaces that have the star pattern carried to the lace tips. The interior of the shoe features the signatory print and Cheech Wizard sits on the tongue replacing the Puma cat logo.
What you waiting for???
Air Jordan 16.5 is Growing On Me
(I wasn’t too sure at first… still not sure… but its growing on me)
While this isn’t one of the better colorways that have been shown, the 16.5, at first a disappointment, has now grown on me a little. I am not saying yet that these are one of the must haves for me to get, but they look alright. Maybe I need to get a personal view of these.
Lets hope for better colorways.

Air Jordan Fusion IX Low = I Do Not Want
(I just do not like the low-top version of the Fusion IX’s)
(as seen on The Shoe Game)
(I am not the only one who thinkgs these are in lame territory)
Are These Fake??? Air Jordan Force 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.
(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)?
