Kicks to Look Out For (or Look away from)

I've been checking the 'net for some heat for the summer. Haven't really found much, I've officially retired from the dunk craze but I'll say that the Japan pack isn't bad (the first shoe is from the Japan pack which is a group of four kicks). Glad to see the zoom flight five making another comeback(Kidd's first signature shoes for those that don't know,(check my archives for some pics) in the Mavs color that should've been released in the first place. Be back with some more info on 23, ( Jordan not Carrey....).

NBA Playoffs Begin

Just finished finalizing that Paypal account that I've been working off and on. Will be up soon, as well as some stuff from my personal collection. (Once I get that site design down, as well as some sharp pics of the kicks, glad I got my spring break even though its kinda late). When the NBA season started I had ranked all the great players at their position, ( check my archives). I didn't put Chris Paul in my top five. Right Now he is the best point guard in the league, and the best playoff performer on the first day of the post season. I can't really see anyone better than him right now he can do it all, and no turnovers. I'm Looking forward to the games (especially the western conference, the east won't get too interesting until the second round). This is where you either win, or go home its as simple as that. The fire and desire show in the playoffs and with the west being so tight it will be even more desire. Who will break free ? Who will prove they are the champion? Who wants it more? Gotta watch and see. I'll be watching, will you?

(And of course there are some PE playoff kicks out there I will get some pics of some good ones as soon as I get enough for a post. Also, congrats to Indycar Driver Danica Patrick won her first race over in Japan).

New Face of the Nets Franchise

Can Vince lead the Nets back to the finals?? Well not this year, but one thing I must say is the Nets do have a bright future. If they can get a legitimate low post scorer ( Jermaine O'neal, Elton Brand). They can make some noise next year as they get closer to Brooklyn. But before they get to Brooklyn they've got to go through Europe first. Remember the last time Vince saw competition over seas? He demolished a french man. The Nets will play preseason games next year in London and bien sur, Paris. Can you say "Deja vu" ? ( When I Find that Vince clip ill post it.... Incroyable').

Was it meant to look like this?

Here we go again with this "23" thing, we all know how that number is linked to this. Now to this so called vogue cover, when I first saw it I didn't think it was racially charged. But when you look at it compared to the King Kong cover you began to wonder. I'm pretty sure Lebron had no idea it looked eerily similar, but I wonder if the people at Vogue had any idea? That's the real question here. We all know how minorities are depicted in the media, it has changed with the times but there is still work to be done. Was Vogue just continuing that trend? I say, maybe, not really sure. It does look really similar I hope they weren't using the Kong covers as an inspiration, because then the cover would be somewhat offensive. People have been talking about the cover because its rare Vogue has a man ( let alone a black man) on its cover. I could understand that, not many men are sitting on the train reading Vogue anyway. I do believe there are certain things minorities who are in the public eye must avoid. (Dave Chappelle realized this but it was what made him famous, he definitely wished he would of realized it before he signed the dotted line.) Avoiding things that have racial undertones, anything that can remind America of the times we want to keep in our past. Any animal but an ape, it's just too close to a bad history for African Americans. There was too much fighting to shed that image. Did Lebron rehash that image from the past? No, not knowingly, he just posed. Did Vogue rehash that image? A good Possibility, but that's just me what do you think, does it look similar? My Answer is yes.. Do You Agree??

Yes..... These are Real

I couldn't help but notice these on a shoe blog the other day. It just got me wondering... i dunno just thinking out loud.... Does Brand Jordan get some of their color inspirations from some of the fake knock-offs? I'm pretty sure they know they're out there, you can't miss them, just pick up a Source or a XXL Mag and just turn to the back... You see them... yea those... those are fake... now look at these. These....... are real..... I have to admit with releases like these the gap between real and fake is starting to close... (well, not that close, real 'heads can tell the difference, and if you can't, your not a real kickhead). They're called Jordan brand V Fusions I believe... Wait Lemmie check the box... Just Kiddin'. But Yea These are available now, and they are real.

Here We go Again

You know what these are, but then again if you can add then you also know what comes with them. The countdown will be going on all year.... Will you count along?

The Countdown Ensues.....

One thing,... I've gotta give the Houston Rockets a lot of credit for winning 22 games in a row. That's pretty impressive, and its even more impressive without Yao for the last 10 games. They will get tested again when the Boston three party come to town tomorrow. That will be a good game, too bad I'm not in the Texas area. I don't know if they appreciate their teams like New Yorkers do. They don't boo when players give 99 percent effort like we do. This brings me to what the blog is about.... The countdown ensues, its funny and creepy, now I'm beginning to feel like Jim Carrey with this whole 23 thing, the rockets are looking to win"23" games in a row and it just so happens that I'm posting about a 23 pack that has just been released. I'm telling ya I didn't mention it on purpose. Or did I ? The 14-9 pack is out now and you can get them at retail if you want them, I don't count on these selling out too fast.
