COOL GREY XI

Jordan Brand has created a lot of buzz by selling OG colorway retro Jordans around the Holidays, and 2010 did not disappoint. I can remember back to 2001, when the malls shut down here in Cincinnati, due to the Hype of the shoe. This time around, people planned ahead, and places like CORPORATE reserved them for buying CG XI accessories. Sellers had access to them early as well, but my homie @jhansee looked out for me and grabbed 6 pairs, hassle free. Well, on my side. I appreciate everything he does for me, and today, I felt like a kid on Christmas, when he delivered the kicks.
Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas. I am leaving for Chicago in a couple hours! I know mine is off to a great start!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Oregon BCS Championship Unis X Nike

Once again, the Oregon Ducks are taking the Nike Pro Combat uniform game to another level. This week, at Dallas Cowboy stadium, Nike released the uniforms the Ducks will be sporting in the BCS championship. Although they are not as flashy as I thought they would be, I do think the look real good!

I guess these are --one of the many-- advantages of going to the Alma Mater of NIKE CEO, Phil Knight. He has blessed the University, and it has begun to pay off. With a rose bowl appearance last year and the BCS championship this season, the Ducks (And their hundreds of uniform combinations) are on the map.

Although it is 2010, I get the same type of feeling I had when the FAB 5 were playing. Yea they rocked the baggy shorts, black Nike socks, and high-top Nike kicks, but they ultimately set a trend for the basketball player/hip-hop culture. The Oregon Ducks are changing the way that high-school and college players dress for the gridiron now.

They have so many different combinations that they may come up with an alternative combo for the 2nd half of the BCS championship, so stay tuned!

Stash X Packer

Packer and Stash have recently teamed up to do a dope running shoe [Reebok Graphlite Pump] in the stash colorway, and word on the street is, these will be TOUGH to come by. keep checking the blogs to see when this collab will hit the streets.

FOR SALE:

I was able to obtain these yesterday, and I already have a pair, but I am looking to trade these. I would also entertain cash offers, just hit me up.
But I am really looking for Deadstock Jordans and Air Max.

SHOEPREME HOODY

I just wanted to take a minute and shout out the homie SHOEPREME for taking the time to develop his HOODY. The project turned out real nice and I can honestly say I am glad I didn't buy the SUPREME LOGO hoody last year for $175. This was a much more reasonable price and a much better cause. If you have never checked out his site before, you need to do it ASAP! He may even have a few Hoody's left, but most importantly, he has a lot of heat for sale at great prices!

Packer Shoes X 'Nique Reebok Pump

Check out PACKER SHOES for their new collaboration with REEBOK on the - PUMP OMNI ZONE 'NIQUE - V.2. They are VERY rare and will sell out quick, and released today. The retail is $130 and are made with great quality: Black tumbled leather, 3M side panels, embroidered 21 and NIQUE on side and back panels.

D JAX

A game of inches took a turn for the BEST in fantasy football last night! Battling in 2 leagues, this play that Vick fit in a small window, proved to be the game winner in both of my playoff battles. Desean Jackson is a BEAST and a threat to do this every time he touches the ball:

Fuck Cleveland

Air Jordan Cement III X Retro Box

One of the most anticipated releases by JB just became more enticing. Not only are the white/cement IIIs one of the greatest releases of all time, but the nostalgic box will generate more buzz in the spring/summer of 2011. This is a great idea by the JB team, and can't wait for the release day.

Playoff XIII

News broke Sunday about the return of the Jordan Playoff XIIIs, and the blogs blew up. One of my all-time favorite Jordan's will finally make a comeback after 14 years (1997). And for once, it doesn't look like JB messed with the design. These, in picture, look to be the best retros as far as materials go, that I can remember. The release has tentatively been set for January '11.

South Beach

Eventhough the weather in Cincinnati is un-traditionally warm, I had to go ahead with the South Beach LeBron VIIIs. I did not let the hypebeasts sway me one way or another, but I was lucky enough to have the homie @jhansee get me a pair from Footaction. Cincinnati received 24 pairs overall. When someone can hook you up like that, it is tough to pass up. Although I am not an avid LeBron collector, I do like the shoe and the colorway. I may use them for trade bait down the line!

I did try to buy another pair on NDC and eastbay but they sold out within seconds...Imagine that?!?!

I did, however, get a pair of the Veteran's Day VIIIs. Those are in transit now!
I will post pics after I receive..

New Balance 574

I have been trying to find these for a while. Finally came across them on ebay about a week ago for a good price! Couldn't pass them up, so I decided to pull the trigger. These are the Originals and the shoe is nothing but quality!

Nike Air Jordan Doernbecher III

The release date has changed from December 11th to December 4th on the DB Jordan III. These Charity Jordans are the best yet, and the most anticipated by sneakerheads. Found some different images on hypebeast so enjoy!

Things Are Looking Up

I was messing around with the layouts that blogspot has to offer, and I screwed up what I had prior. In the very near future, I am going to start over and re-do the entire layout, as I continue to work on my design-game. I have been real busy hear lately, but I am anxiously anticipating this new hobby. Once again, I appreciate the people that continue to stop by and check this out. I promise, I will improve the content on a daily basis, so be patient. I have some really good ideas and insight,in which I plan on bringing to you very soon, so STAY TUNED!

Indiana Basketball....Slowly Rising!!

Some of you that actually follow this blog -which I truly appreciate- know that I am a die hard Indiana Basketball fan. The last few years -post Kelvin Sampson era- have not been real fun. Take into the account that I am a Yankees fan (early post-season exit) and a Bengals fan (well.....OK!) and a USC Trojan fan (well we all know that story) and you can see how miserable my last year has been.

Tom Crean has finally started to implement his program and Bloomington and is starting to take huge strides that Hoosier fans are used to. With the 2010-2011 season on the brink, Crean just landed his most significant recruit in his short tenure. Hanner Perea, is the #3 PF in the class of 2012 and #10 overall. Hanner was going to wait and commit until after the, heralded 2011 recruit Cody Zeller, made his decision. There are still a few 2012 5-Star recruits waiting on Zeller, but the program looks to be headed in the right direction under Tom Crean.

Check out this video of Hanner Pera:


Speaking of Indiana Basketball and Eric Gordon, did you see this???


And this??


I can't wait to see Indiana Basketball return to National Prominence in the VERY NEAR future!

Top Secret? Jordan XI!?!?

Just got this off of sneakernews and if the rumors are true, then JB is going to drop some heat for sneakerheads in the next year. Jordan XI Concords and Columbia's, would definitely sit nice in anyone's collection and it may be a rumor now, but I would think this will happen. With the way the Jordan Brand has released, and re-released Jordan's it has to be inevitable.
I'm sure some more info will drop as time goes on, so keep your fingers crossed until the Launch Date is concrete..

Been Too Long...

I have not updated this in over a month, and I still have had some hits, and I appreciate that. My man @GQRoker gave me a vote of confidence on twitter, so I have to get back on my game. I have been mad busy with the New Job, and life in general. I have been out of town three of the last four weekends, and I leave again for Orlando Wednesday for the World Softball Tournament. Everyone that knows me, knows that sneakers come first, but Softball is my other hobby (that keeps me busy). Some of you are probably thinking, Softball??? Thought that was woman's sport!! But seriously though, it is real competitive in the midwest, and I do NOT get paid to play, but everything is paid for, which makes it real nice.

I will do a better job here in the future. I know I have said it before, but I really can't believe how many people actually check it out.
I am also planning on buying a new camera. I need to get something that has quality, plus I want to learn how to improve my photo-taking skills.

Stay tuned as I keep you updated with Jay Everyday!!
I appreciate the love.....

Flint XIII

Black Friday will be another big release for Jordan Brand and sneakerheads. The Jordan retro XIII Flints, will be dropping again for the first time, since 2005. Let's just hope the red glue doesn't bleed like the last retro.

This is one of my favorite Jordans and I can remember purchasing these back in 1998 and then wore them while I was hooping in college in 2001-2002.

Cool Grey XI "First Look"

Was seraching the web this morning, and ran across a gem. December 23rd, we think, is going to be the next release that bring all of the hypebeasts out. What did you expect??

I can remember when these originally released in 2001. The buzz was crazy. If you are from Cincinnati, you know about the Tri-County Mall incident. The doors were kicked in prior to the mall opening. It was just before I started at Footaction, so I had to stand in line like everyone else. Unfortunlately, I did not get the kicks. I did come across a pair, a week later, then added a couple more throughout the years.

Stay tuned as more news, info and pics continue to hit the net.
Thanks to theshoegame.com for the update.

T.O. and OCHO in THE JUNGLE

Get your popcorn ready...
The Cincinnati Bengals have finally made a huge splash and this one could pay huge dividends...Or huge regrets.
I do not see this as anything, but an added bonus. The Bengals have added one of the best receivers the NFL has seen to play opposite of OchoCinco. Yea he talks a lot, but if any team can handle Owens, it is Marvin Lewis and the Bengals. Hell, he has put up with #85 for 9 years now.

The Bengals are coming off a playoff season, where the Defense was the strong suit of the team. Now the Offense has become more potent, adding Antonio Bryant in free agency, along with Jermaine Gresham and Jordan Shipley, along with a few other offensive playmakers.

At this point, it is up to Carson Palmer to spread the ball around and become the gun-slinger we remember from 2005. If that is the case, T.O. could make a return to Dallas in February for the Super Bowl.

I cannot wait to attend the games and sit in my usual section 111, row 15 seat 20.
Camp just started today, but it feels like Football is in full swing in the Queen City....


WHO DEY!

Supreme Part II

Following up with the last post, here is the White and Black pair of Air Max 1 iD's I did, along with the Black/Cement Dunk Low Supreme SB. Just thought I would post these on here. The Supreme SB is one of my all time favorites. I still need the white pair, but I will have them soon enough.

Air Max 1 iD "Supreme Inspired"

Was looking at SkavB site lastnight and saw that he had a pic of my Nike Air max 1 iD from the Corporate 2 year, so I thought I would post the pic. Check both links out!

Infrared 90

The release date was pulled today, but it really had no effect on me. I still have 2 pair of the History of Air "HOA" and am contemplating getting two more of this most recent release. I had to pass in 2008, because the quality was not that good. I will say, they look better this time around!
The Infrared 90 is definitely one of my favorite pair of kicks of all time, and will remain that way. Simple and comfortable, and I love the mesh toe. So I think 4 pairs total will be just fine!

LeBron to South Beach

After the highly anticipated "Decision," Lebron James decided to team up with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. This is the "NEW" Big 3, and should provide a few championships in years to come.

The City of Cleveland, and owner Dan Gilbert, are in a state of denial. This was one of the most intriguing sporting events in recent memory, and Cleveland fans knew what they were losing. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out, but the NBA is worried about this new trio.

Where Will The King Go?

"The Decision" is finally here and will be announced on ESPN tonite at 9. This is the most highly anticipated free agent announcement in professional sports history? Will LBJ stay in Cleveland, or part ways to Miami and team up with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh?

Las Vegas

Yo, sorry I haven't kept up with the site..
The new job has me tied up, and now I am leaving for Las Vegas tomorrow.
Rest assured, I will update when I get home, hopefully with GREAT news. More money and the Floyd fight. My 2 primary goals..

Let's get it....

Bengals: NFL Draft 2010

I was really pleased with the way the Cincinnati Bengals addressed the 2010 draft this season. As long as they stay healthy on Defense, there should be no issues. The team did nothing bud add more weapons to a team that struggle offensively last season. Carson Palmer looked to struggle after having one consistent player to throw to for the last half of the season. Chad OchoCinco! Now the Bengals have a legit Tight End threat, after taking the best TE in the draft, Jermaine Gresham. The Bengals also added Jordan Shipley and Dezmon Briscoe. Both highly decorated players in the Big 12. I really look for Jordan Shipley to pay huge dividends right away. On Defense, the Bengals took Carlos Dunlap and Brandon Ghee. Both very athletic players who slipped in to the hands of the Bengals. I am very excited about the depth the team is building with playmakers. Now I can't wait til the season starts...
