2011-02-14T19:38:00.002-05:00

First and foremost, I have been saving this pic, because I really like it. I mean, how can you not like the face of JORDAN BRAND, and Yankee Captain, Derek Jeter. Pitchers and Catchers reported today, and that means that Baseball is just around the corner. It is always nice being a Yankee fan, because you know that they are always in contention to win the World Series. Do they win #28 this year? Only time will tell....

I remember when these dropped back in 1995. I was in the 8th grade, and I could not wait to get the Authentic Royal Blue Penny Jersey to go with these. Definitely one of my favorite sneaker releases of all time. The "Orlando" colorway is simple and very clean. These are due to hit retailers soon. Can't wait to re-up! Definitely one of the better releases NIKE has ever dropped.

Cement III

2011-01-25T20:09:00.005-05:00

Jordan Brand did it again with this release. A lot of people complain, because the retro(s) don't have the same material/quality as the OG's. If that were the case, then the game would not be what it is. Everything needs a bit of change. In my opinion, JB did a very nice job with the 2011 release of the Cements. Throw in the OG style box and the Jumpman Hang Tag, and January 22, 2011 is a day to remember. I picked up 3 pairs. Took a few pics, but I am working on my photo-taking skills still. Here soon, I hope to buy a new camera as well. Any suggestions?

Air Jordan Bordeaux VII 2011 Release

2011-01-18T20:54:00.002-05:00

Although I am excited for the Cement III release this weekend, the Bordeaux VII will definitely be the most anticipated release in 2011, for me. JB killed it with this one. This is the first time the shoe has been released, since MJ made it famous in the 1992 All Star Game. For you REAL OG Jordan heads out there...You know how sacred this pair of shoes is. April can't come soon enough. Might have to grab at least 3 pair...

MY Sneakernews Top 10

2011-01-05T08:12:00.003-05:00

Sneakernews developed a template where we could create our top 10 shoes of 2010.
Even though all shoes weren't listed, it is still a cool idea, and something to get their viewers to interact with.

You can view My Top 10 here:

Foamposite One Royal Blue

2011-01-04T20:00:00.002-05:00

One of my all time favorite pair of kicks is set to release, yet again! The Neon Royal Foamposite One is set to release on February 12, 2011. This will make a good Valentine's Day gift......to myself! This is another Nike classic that Penny Hardaway rocked back in the day. They will retail for $200, and I will definitely be re-upping on this one. I can remember when my homeboy in High School copped these, and I was like man, I wish I had the $200 at the time, but I had the flint XIII instead. In 2008, I was lucky enough to get a pair from House of Hoops, but I am looking forward to adding another pair (or 2) to the family.
How about you?

SHOEPREME HOODY II

2011-01-03T19:50:00.003-05:00

SHOEPREME already dropped one of his famous hoodies just over a month ago, and the buzz was so crazy, he has officially launched another. This colorway will feature a black hoody, with a red logo box and white lettering. I know I will be copping this time around. The initial grey release was sick, and I enjoy supporting good people.

Just in time for the Jordan III Cement release!

End of an Era?

2011-01-02T20:57:00.005-05:00

Anyone that knows me, knows that I am a die hard Cincinnati Bengals fan. I have been a season ticket holder since Marvin Lewis took over. 128 games later (60-67-1), I can't believe where the state of the organization is at. Marvin Lewis was supposed to be the savior. Cincinnati is a great football town, but has not seen a playoff victory in 2 decades. Marvin did bring 2 division titles, including a sweep of the tough AFC North last season. But a dismal loss at home to the Jets was about as ugly a game I have seen during Lewis' tenure. On to 2010, the Bengals updgraded via draft and free agency by adding offensive weapons in Terrell Owens, Jermaine Gresham and Jordan Shipley. If you would have told me the Bengals would finish 4-12 after the T.O. acquisition, I would have bet my house on it.....
Good thing I didn't!!

Fast forward to January 2, 2011:
The Bengals lost to Baltimore 13-7, and had plenty of opportunities to beat the playoff bound Ravens, yet Carson Palmer continued his turnover-prone season. There were some bright spots, including potential wider receiver replacements in Jerome Simpson and Andre Caldwell.

After today, the Bengals have some huge personnel decisions to make, including coaching positions. T.O. was signed to a 1 year deal, Ocho, is due a $6 million option that the team can decline. Carson is making $15+ million a year to be mediocre, Cedric Benson's contract is up, and Marvin Lewis' contract expired after the game was over.

As much as I hate to say it, the organization, led by dumbass Mike Brown will find a way to take 2 steps backwards, rather than forward. Only time will tell, but I do hope to see Chad Ochocinco back in stripes. He has been the best thing the city of Cincinnati has had in a long, long time. Although, the man does deserve to go win a ring somewhere.

With 2011 just beginning, the Cincinnati Bengals have a lot of question marks heading into the off season, and I am anxious to see what happens.

Only time will tell....

COOL GREY XI

2010-12-23T09:26:00.004-05:00

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

2010-12-16T20:17:00.003-05:00

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!

SHOEPREME HOODY

2010-12-14T18:33:00.000-05:00

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!

Air Jordan Cement III X Retro Box

2010-11-26T13:14:00.000-05:00

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

2010-11-23T21:34:00.000-05:00

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

2010-11-21T20:13:00.000-05:00

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..

Nike Air Jordan Doernbecher III

2010-11-20T09:31:00.000-05:00

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

2010-11-18T19:05:00.000-05:00

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!!

2010-11-02T18:55:00.000-04:00

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!?!?

2010-09-20T19:19:00.000-04:00

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..

2010-09-20T19:06:00.000-04:00

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.....

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"

2010-07-30T08:58:00.000-04:00

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

2010-07-28T18:30:00.001-04:00

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....

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.

Infrared 90

2010-07-22T22:54:00.000-04:00

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

2010-07-09T14:05:00.000-04:00

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?

2010-07-08T19:03:00.000-04:00

"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?

Bengals: NFL Draft 2010

2010-04-25T08:58:00.000-04:00

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...

The Return

2010-04-08T09:47:00.000-04:00

Tiger Woods will make his highly anticipated return to Golf today at 1:42 pm. Tiger could not have timed his return more perfect, as it will be at Augusta National....The Masters for you non-golf fans. The PGA has missed him and so have his fans.

We all know he made mistakes, but we are all human. Let's forgive the greatest golfer of all time and enjoy him work. Let's not worry about his OFF-COURSE problems anymore. He has apologized and now it's time to run the golf world once again.

Opening Night

2010-04-05T19:44:00.000-04:00

We all knew that Derek Jeter was a Jordan Brand team member and has rocked Jordans such as the retro IX and XI in the past, but a lot of people did not know that CC Sabathia was a Jordan Head as well. Not "officially" on the Jordan Team, but he has been spotted wearing JAYS outside of the games and in the clubhouse. CC also had a custom Jordan glove at one point last year too.

Well last night the 19 game winner from a year ago started off in the Cool Grey XI, and Finished in a Jordan IV. Both Pairs were fire, and now I cannot wait to see what he wears throughout the year.

Oh yea, and I will definitely know, because the wifey is about to purchase the MLB pack, so I can watch the Yankees everyday....HA

Even though they lost last night, I like the way the team looks. Yankees always start slow, and they have the firepower to win #28 this year!

GO BOMBERS!!

All Star Game

2010-02-15T18:33:00.000-05:00

No Kobe and No Shaq....

The largest basketball crowd ever attended the 2010 NBA All Star game in Dallas, TX on Valentine's Day this year. And the venue did not disappoint. 108,713 showed up to Dallas Cowboys stadium, thus proving that the Cowboys' owner Jerry Jones is a genius.

Dwyane Wade (MVP) lead the east to a 141-139 victory over the West.

The game was nice and exciting, but you know I enjoy checking out the kicks more than anything! Here are some pics, or you can go to http://espn.go.com/dallas/gallery/index?id=4915067&image=1 to see the full gallery.

NFL Update

2010-02-07T12:13:00.000-05:00

Today is THE biggest day of the year for NFL fans. Not only is today the Super Bowl, but it is the most intriguing match up I can remember. People say Defense wins championships, but today will feature the 2 best offensive teams the league. Peyton Manning vs. Drew Brees. WOW, can you say fireworks?!? I am hoping for a shootout, maybe like 38-34, but the more I think about it, I feel that Defense will prevail in today's title game.

I really do not care who wins. It will be cool for WHO DAT nation to experience the Win, but it will solidify Peyton Manning as the BEST QB ever. Yea I said it!

I just want to see a shootout! Did I say that already?

Not only is the Super Bowl the biggest event, industry leaders use this time to promote their products at TV timeouts. I really do not care for the commercials, unless the game is boring. I do not anticipate this game boring me, so I am not looking forward to the commercials. Although I am looking forward to 1. It is the spin off of the legendary Michael Jordan vs. Larry Bird McDonalds commercial where they are playing H-O-R-S-E. This year's version will feature LeBron James and Dwight Howard.

Here is the old commerical:

Here is a preview of the new:

Lastly, this week is usually just another week if you are a Cincinnati fan. Another super bowl, without our beloved Bengals in the BIG game. But this week has created a little bit more excitement than usual. Chad Ochocinco started the "OCNN" Ocho Cinco News Network, which included NFL players Chris Cooley, Ray Rice and Darnell Dockett. Chad debuted is network on Super Bowl media day. If you missed it here it is:

Also, Chad said that the Bengals will get T.O. this offseason. T.O. responded by saying he would change his name to ocho uno. I love it! Carson needs more weapons and so does the team.

Week in Review (Feb)

2010-02-07T11:46:00.000-05:00

The first week of February was nothing but good to me. Got some nice pickups through ISS, NikeID, and Corporate.

Nike Air Jordan VI "MOTORSPORTS" Size: 10
Picked these up from my man Matt at Corporate
I must say, I was a little hesitant to purchase these when I heard the price, but when I saw the quality of the leather, it was a no brainer, and oh yea, it's limited!

This is my first of 5 Nike Air Max 1 ID's on the way. And this will end up being one of my favorites. If you know me, I like Air Max with Navy and Red in them.
I love the options that NikeID has right now.

Last but not least, I picked these up off of ISS
I have been trying to get a good deal on these for a while and I finally did. They are DS Size 10. Will fit well in my collection.

Pickup of the Year..

2010-02-07T11:36:00.001-05:00

It has only been a month and some change, but I got off to a good start in 2010, by picking these op off of EBAY For $115. These are not the CDP Raptor VII, but the 2002 retro. They are completely Deadstock, and in perfect condition. I must say, I enjoy finding deals on the net like this one.

Nike Air Jordan retro VII, Size 9.5

Keeps Going and Going...

2010-02-06T11:54:00.000-05:00

For those of you that know me personally, know that I have always had the freshest shoes, period! The one thing that is fun with being a SNEAKERHEAD, is the anticipation of what you are going to get next. I am usually selling, trading shoes to get my next pair. My collection usually stays around 150 pair of shoes. Most of them stay DEADSTOCK too, especially MY JORDANS. I mostly just wear my air max, but as you can see, I am running out of real estate in my spare bedroom. This closet mostly consists of DEADSTOCK (unworn shoes, namely, Jordans)

Copper Foamposite Release Change!

2010-02-04T19:57:00.000-05:00

According to THESHOEGAME nike has moved the release date on the copper foams! As of right now, no one knows when the release will be! Stay tuned!
