Air Jordan III "Black History Month"

As a fan of both Black History and Air Jordan's, I had to throw up some pics of these on my blog. A great look from the people over at Nike and Jordan Brand, the Air Jordan 3 gets a slight makeover specifically for Black History month. Additions include gold eyelets, removal of the traditional cement print, and a Black History Month tag on the inside of the tongue. Shouts to the #SNKRH3ADs

Jordan x Carmelo Anthony - M7 "Do Whatever It Takes" Commercial

Here's the cool commercial for the next installment of the Jordan Melo M series, the M7. I'm not really a fan of the shoes yet, I gotta see them in-person and on my feet (its just my personal sneakerhead thing). These are dropping just in time for Black Friday, November 20. Maybe I'll try them out and add a review to this post. Shout out to my favorite sneaker site, Nicekicks for the pic.

Behind the scenes

Nike SB Dunk Hi "Skunk"

Just in time for the unofficial holiday (4/20/10), Nike SB hits us with a Quick-Strike Dunk called the “Skunks.” The herbal inspired kicks, are mad detailed, featuring accents like a green skunk on the insole, orange stitching on the upper, and a “stash” pocket behind the tongue. The purple on the outsole and swoosh really set the design off and the material on the upper looks incredible. My favorite color is green and I’m diggin’ the theme behind these kicks, if I can get my hands on pair it’s a done deal. Nike has a great track record of fully expressing a design inspiration with kicks and these are no different. I mean, they even come in a plastic bag! Check ‘em out and let me know what you think

Nike Air Max LeBron VII – Heroes Pack

I’m about to put you up on the illest original kicks in the minute, the Nike Air Max Lebron VII Heroes Pack. LeBron is definitely a sneakerhead and has continuously dropped multiple packages and colorways for every one of his signature shoes. The AML VII is no different and Nike and LeBron have gotten together to bless us with some HEAT. The Heroes Pack pays tribute to three of King James athletic inspirations that happen to be Nike athletes as well; Deion Sanders, Penny Hardaway, and Michael Jordan. Even though this pack has no confirmed release date yet (the reason that there's two versions of the MJ's from the pack) they are still blowing up the 'net. Its no secret that LeBron is fan of the basketball G.O.A.T., Michael Jordan. He is probably the best player to wear number 23 since his Airness, (shouts to MI’s own J-Rich) and has been drawing comparisons since he first entered the league. Now he has a pair of kicks that will also draw comparisons to MJ.

These are obviously inspired by the Air Jordan XI and take multiple cues from them including the patent leather upper, clear red outsole, and the signature bar across the tongue.

I think this was a cool accent by the design team, taking the LeBron Lion logo and giving it glowing red eyes

Here you can also see the multiple similarities between the Air Penny I including the cracks in the swoosh, the contrast stitching and unique tongue design.

Here's an individual shot of the Heroes Pack Deion's, not feeling these nearly as much as the other two pair. I am a diggin' the Nike Air Diamond Turf 2 (Deion's sigs) in red though

Retro Alert: Air Uptempo III & Air Pippen I

“And I'm a Nike head, I wear chains that excite the feds…”

Nas said it best on Halftime from Illmatic. I’m a sneaker head and there’s nothing anybody can do about it. With that said, I’m extremely geeked about the news that one of my most revered pair of Nike’s from the 90’s, the Air Max Uptempo III, is being retroed this year. One of my favorite players of ALL TIME, Scottie Pippen, used to rock these during the 96-97 season before he switched over to his own signature kicks, (with the same sole) the Air Pippen 1. Nike is showing Pip lots of love this year, retroing the Pippen 1’s and the Uptempo III’s. I have to say, of the two retros, I’m feeling the Uptempo III colorway WAY more. Check out both pairs below along with the original Nike commercial and a couple pics of the kicks in action.

It was also recently announced that Scottie will officially be recognized as a Hall of Famer next year. Shouts to Nicekicks for the info
