Pure Chaos

While most of the country was tuned into NBC for the Olympic Gold Medal game between the USA & Canada, I was flippin' back and forth today between that and ABC for the Nuggets/Lakers game. Mamba (rockin' the Chaos V) led the Lake Show on a second half comeback vs Melo & the Nugs. Impressive win! The Chaos is not tainted after all - lol!

Confirmed this week a HOH for Saturday drop now, the Silver Lower Merion Ace Kobe V...





Purrrrrty! OK, now don't laugh...



...well, too late. Thank God we get the white OG colorway in May, because this orange monstrosity of a Pippen retro drops in June. No thanks...

And last week in Vegas, Wale was seen sporting the upcoming Nike Air Max 24/7...


It's a hybrid of the AM95...


...and the AM97...


The Nike Sportswear department seems to be maximizing paparazzi-like exposure of Wale to introduce upcoming retro releases. Peep the latest Complex blog to see Wale's kicksology...impressive to say the least.

School Daze

A school edition of Coke No Ice!


Away Rice Kobe Vs dropping in a couple of weeks at HOH. Beauties!

But these Duke Kobe Vs are poo-poo. The shiny side panel and toe box kill what could have been a great shoe.



And pics of the Silver Ace Kobe Vs droppin' next week. Socks, dude!


The boys at Fairfax have been sporting these bad lad Bron 7s lately. Yellow laces in the home pair would set those joints off!



Stayin' with the University theme, peep these AJ2010s in black & university blue. Not only do these look better than the 72 pair white QS white a similar outsole, but you won't have to drop college tuition to get a pair. Droppin' this spring.



In other AJ2010 news, North Carolina busted out the silver D Wade AJ2010s with silver unis for their game against FSU last night.


Cal will rock them against Arizona tonight and Georgetown will wear them Saturday vs Notre Dame.





Lastly, KD2 PEs spotted on the Longhorns. Burnt Orange FTW!

Knockout Performance

Couple sneak peeks at the SC Trainer 2010 PEs for Manny Pacquiao. The colorblocking is these Pac Mans are on point. Hope we see these in a non-SF/LV quickstrike!

Check out this last pair from the heel view; AM2009 midsole! Hot damn!


Speaking of knockout performances, guess who's back?

Back from a sprained ankle vs Memphis, he dropped 32 points and hit the game winning three last night. Clearly Mamba is back, better than ever!


Away Vs!


"It's late in the day & I ain't been on the court yet,
Hustle to the mall to get me a short set.
Yeah I got on sneaks, but I need a new pair...
Cuz basketball courts in the summer got girls there."
- Will Smith, "Summertime"

Peep the "AJ 2010 Playground Outdoor"...


An asphalt-ready version of the AJ2010. With criss-cross straps like another legendary outdoor hoop shoe...


...the Nike Air Raid. I really like the Oak Hill Academy colorway...

Watch for these to drop in August (little late there, eh JB)?

The Forgotten Ones

And rightfully so. Two weeks late on the part of Nike, they released these Melo & CP3 ASG kicks at HOHs yesterday...and boy do they suck!

Carmelo & Chris, put on some AJ 2010 PEs and call it a day! Give these to Goodwill!!

Peep these Nike Air Max 180s that have hit in Europe; here is hoping we see them on this side of the Atlantic!

Ray Finkle FTW!

And pics from the Bo Jackson Elite Sports Complex just outside Chicago (in Lockport, IL). Scoop Jackson was in the house, along with Alex Brown of the Bears, to unveil the Nike Air Trainer 2010 SC and give high school athletes from the Chicago area some sports lessons. Pics per SC.

And a comparison pic of the Auburn SC retro with the new 2010 version, per NTer HNT (thanks dude!)

Lastly, some Nike Air Max iD love; you can do the AM1 in a multitude of materials and colorways and my man Jake from San Antonio did some redunkulous creations lately...just a couple...

...Heineken-inspired Air Max 1 iD, and these Atlantic Penny iDs...





Good Lord! Please peep Jake's blog at www.jwdanklefs.blogspot.com. Some of the best sneaker photography and creativity you will ever see. One of the best blogs on the 'net, IMO!

Peace!
