White/Orange Blaze-University Blue . 5/8 high-cut should be pretty good for y'all guards or forwards playin' ball out there . White will be fine for most .

"There's a rebel behind every bush, it's a veritable nest of hornets."*
My mate Dren took inspiration from the legendary Charlotte Hornets when he took time to make his AF1 ID at the Force Club last month . If you remember the Hornets were the best team in terms of merchandising during most of the 90's , seducing the youngests with the freshest team color scheme in the NBA . Teal and purple ... the combo was so hot , some NBA teams tried to copy the style with less success .
Between 1988 and 2002 , "The Hive" , the Charlotte Coliseum was the hottest arena in the league , selling out all seats until last seasons . Larry Johnson , Mugsy Bogues , Alonzo Mourning , Eddie Jones , Baron Davis or Bobby Phills among others , played with pride in North Carolina , a state known for its passion for basketball . But more than that they succeed to put the city on the map , leaving the shadow of Chapell Hill , home of the University Of North Carolina , Michael Jordan's college .
A dark cloud surrounded the Hornets in 2001 as the city of Charlotte refused to give funding to a new arena unless scandalous owner George Shinn sold the team . Indeed Shinn , the pariah , had never allowed the team to reach its goals , refusing each time to pay new contracts to his all-star players , forcing trades to keep the money . This added to legal problems was too much for the North Carolina fans ...
In 2002 Shinn left town with the team , heading to N'awlins . This move was one of the signs that marked the end of the golden years the league lived .
*Originally to be named the Charlotte Spirit , the team was renamed the Charlotte Hornets after the objection of the local fans . During the revolutionary war , Brititsh General Cornwallis remarked about the resistance met in North Carolina "There's a rebel behind every bush , it's a veritable nest of hornets ."
Thank Dren kidz fo' blessin' ya eyes wit' da shit !

Kwame arrives just in time with a new album on the french Rap scene , when things were turning to fat booties videos competition .
This 30 years old rookie has gained popularity these last weeks in the Sneakers.fr community , sharing his secret passion for hip hop . This lyricist and producer has spent two years in the United States learning the game from underground dogs , and after several years of work he has succeeded to define his own style .
Known as Feross , KWAME is now, his brand new artist name , to pay homage to kwame n'krumah, a panafricanist hero and a great scientist . Until now he has lived from his passion through different jobs : journalist in RADIKAL ( french hiphop magazine ) , promoter & artist booker ( J live, Cannibal Ox... ) , or seller in SOUND RECORDS (the dopest vinyl shop in Paris).
Now focused on his music, he's helped by the dopest producers in the US underground scene such as Oddisee (HAlftooth Records) , Roddy rod (MAspyke), D from Helium Music and Kenwood (A Touch Of Jazz ). Motivated to rise the level of the french hiphop scene , Kwame decided to work with the best by traveling back and fourth between paris and nyc .
The result is pretty cool , full of flavours , something between DJ Premier and J.Dilla ... Album coming in April ! He's also working on a mixtape "DETROIT (D3) CONCEPT" with his partners Vestat and Gea , in order to put the Detroit Sound at the forefront in France . Listen y'all !

The Lake Show is back ... after 7 consecutive losses during the previous weeks , Kobe has decided to lift the whole team on his shoulders , taking the best of his teamates to win 3 consecutive games , scoring 65 , 50 and 60 points tonight .
Next games will be played against New Orleans , Golden State , Memphis again and Houston . As for the end of the season , Phoenix & Denver will be the only real contenders on their path . All that seems full of promises for the players of La-la Land and for their fans .
We probably can think Kobe will be more than considered for the title of Most Valuale Player , and I personally hope that Nash won't be named for his third title . I honestly admire his game , but damn with no championships rings and not a single finals game played in his career , he doesn't deserve that honor . I admit I can't forget the 2 or 3 MVP titles that were stolen from Michael Jordan , for the glorification of the great NBA by David Stern , and that MJ never won 3 straight MVP titles . At least give it to Nowitzness .
Kobe with four 60 points-games in his career has reached that jordanesque superstar level , leaving only Wilt Chamberlain ahead of him . This performance remains totally freakin' extraordinary ...

... it's what is obvioulsy waiting for us . Plan A thought by americans for the rest of the world at the end of WWII , was a beautiful dream until 1989 . The idea of living all , together and free , sharing the benefits of modenity has not resisted the vice of capitalism that was sold with it . Indeed the eternal pusuit of oil , stone and gold has become a top priority for some , with depend on the others , whether they are living in america or not .
Plan 59 , is a website that shows an interesting collection of mid-century illustration , that reminds the values of hard work , family , importance of energy and basic products ... of the 50's , values that were used for adverts but also for propaganda .
