Kobe V inspired by famous Air Jordan colorways

It’s evident that Kobe gets his inspiration & work ethic from none other than Mike himself. I was just sitting here & wondering what if Nike & Kobe did concepts colorways from famous Air Jordan & placed them on the now Kobe V? Well me & the homie Cruz sat down & talked about classic colorways that we would like to see. We will bringing these to you randomly so be prepared.

Truth Be Told

With time there comes growth right? Damn it feels surreal with this feeling that I have. I now have mad respect for the people before me. Maybe I didn’t understand the point that was trying to be made at the time, but the feeling has been felt. Being the real person that I am, I am honest enough to know when I fucked up & express that. In this case it happened to be one of those times. To the one’s of the past that feel that they got fucked over nah never that. The shit wasn’t as serious until it was placed in my own lap. Not on some emotional ish, but just being straight up I received teachings that I can carry on with me for a life time. I have always been the type to shout out my folks & will continue to do that, because that’s just who I am. Shit goes back way further than the shit that occurred, my take on it is that some of it was real shit with some of it being petty to a point but regardless the respect factor was always there. We been like brothers going way back to when we were youngins, so really whats being said is cutting the bullshit out the way. Lets mash towards those dreams spoke about way back when ya feel me…. Im out like C-4 I blows up the spot.

Supreme buys out Shortypop for 20K

It’s so sad how brands make their rise & then fall so fast. Well Shortypop which started not too long ago has decided to stop, after many things in Chandler’s(owner of shortypop) life he felt it was time to cash out. After reaching a deal with Supreme brand for a buy out of 20K there will no longer be any more Shortypop. I wonder where that puts people that recently placed orders with them.


Peep the link for the interview with Chandler(owner of Shortypop) as he gives insight on why

Well the LeBron VII is somewhat hybrid of the LeBron VII & Air Jordan XI, was schduled to already be releases but has been pushed back until April 17th. The design changes aren't to bad the 360 air bubble was scrapped & been replaced with a more subtle embedded unit like the Air Jordan XI. I believe this is a good pick up for any Lebron fan.

Nike Air Pippen LE HOH Release info

I have never been huge on the Scottie Pippen shoes but this HOH (House of Hoops) release doesn’t’ t make my distaste for these any better. I have no idea why Nike would want to put all of these colors on the same shoe at once. These will be available April 2nd. This is an easy Stockton to Malone on these for me. Easy pass, if you didn’t get that line.

Nike Foamposite "Glowposite" concept

Now as a huge fan of the foampostie shoe & brand I think I can say they are doing too much. Though at this point the “Glowposite” is just a concept, I do see Nike eventually trying to bring this out in stores. The upper is a 3M synthetic foamposite material to give it a graphite look for the day look & bright white/silver look for the night look. The sole is a glow in the dark material that charges it’s self when exposed to light, and will put & bright yellow light when exposed to darkness. I may have to see a finished product before I pass the final judgment on these but for now I’m cool.

Kobe V light blue

The Kobe V are being released at enormous rate, each one in dope colorways. So expect no different for this upcoming pair. I'm unsure if this one has been dubbed with a nickname yet but it will be a good pick for any Kobe head. I wish Nike would slow it down for awhile & gives us a break. Me in particular.

Lebron VII Hero's Pack AJ XI inspired

As if any evidence isn’t already seen Lebron has always looked as Michael Jordan as one of his hero's & influences. I guess Lebron wasn’t done with the first shoes shown & is bring it back with a great design match up of his shoe but with plenty inspiration from the Air Jordan XI. The only thing is there isn’t word yet if these will be released to the public. Only time can tell I guess. Shout out to Ty of regularolTy.com for the picture.

Kanye West - Street Lights Video (Fanmade)


Though this is a fan made video it looks better than a lot of directors out now. This video is visually stunning, its grasp the concept of what i think Mr. West was trying to give in the song. Shout out the The Generic Man for this one.

Drake - Fall For Your type

Heartbreak Drake does it again with this one, though its just a reference track it leaves you wanting to hear more at least it did for me. The beat is crazy for this one. I seriously hope that this makes the album. So far the songs I have heard coming from Drake & his camp are pure crack I really hope dude is able to keep this up, with music like this I can't at all be disappointed.

Air Jordan Retro IX "Bin 23"

Well that JB traveling to different places with their shoes & trying to make it more of a luxury line. I myself see nothing wrong with this & actually think it can breathe some more life in to these shoes. Well with another installment of the BIN 23 collections they bring to us the Air JORDAN IX. For me the gold that's added to the white upper is great. I was sold on the shoe until I got a glimpse of the red BIN symbol. Now it puts me in the let me think about it category. As time goes on I know we will get way better views of the shoe than this.

Air Jordan VI White/Varsity Red – June 12th

Jordan brand has been so gracious to finally give us a date on these. lately it seems like they are trying to keep a tight lid on the dates for upcoming releases. Maybe they see that folks are getting a bit smarter & pacing themselves for the most haves or most hyped shoe in some cases, well i don't know the reason but for me this may have to be picked up.

Nike Lebron VII "Heroes" Pack

As an avid LeBron Hater i must admit this pack is not only a great idea but the finished product is immaculate.

Unfortunately Nike has decided not to release these & I want them. DAMN YOU NIKE!!!

Jordan Brand continues to hit us with the heat for the 25th anniversary. Now this is an OG colorway, a white & red color way for the XII’s hasn’t been seen since 1998. Now the fact that they waited this long to bring it back should already tell you there will be a crazy around this when it is released.

First off I would like to apologize for the lack of posting lately. I have been having computer issues but none the less I am back. Finally after month of this begin kept secret JB is releasing news that the “Infrared Package” will indeed be release in the US & not an international release as it had been rumored to be. Snaps to JB for this wise move because I know a few loyal Jordan buyers that were ready to quit buying Jordan’s for all this international crap that’s been pulled lately. Keep your eye out for these June 2010

Right now me & Nike are having big brother/ little brother relationship. It’s gotten to the point that I’m loving what they are doing giving the people quality releases & giving the people what they have been asking for, but some of their other releases leave me saying why or WTF!!!. The Nike Zoom Uptempo V just happens to fall under the WTD category. I like the model of the shoe but why decide to put copper on this shoe? It in no way shape or from represents a penny or anything copper. I bet Jason Kidd as happy he left before they released this shit & slap his name on there…
