Pour Quelques Dollars De Plus ...

For A Few Dollars More ... young brands keep on biting the Jordan legacy, and honestly as a sneaker freak and a basketball aficionados , I can't criticize that . Hard to ignore the Jordan phenom after 22 years of success ...

Gotta recognize !

Johnny Cupcakes , the best cakes in Boston , is releasing a limited edition of the Air Johnny tee this Saturday . The design takes inspiration from the Air Jordan logo circa 1991-1994 , that was featured on all boxes produced during this lapse of times and on many other products . It's not the first brand to use that logo , but the Miami Vice blue and pink looks good . Hungry ? check their website for more flavours :

What's A Girl To Do ...

" Bat For Lashes is the work of British singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and visual artist Natasha Khan. Born in 1979 , yet combining influences that span decades , Natasha’s work dwells in the elementa l, emerging in timeless forms .
Bat For Lashes’ music is bold and vivid . Her live shows , with accomplices Ginger Lee, Abi Fry and Lizzy Carey , are made up of thunderous marching band drums, desert guitar , ballet school piano , harpsichord , sub-bass snarls , hand-claps and naive beats , with the women fluidly switching and swapping their instruments between songs . There are also interludes of exquisite heartbreak ; the piano ballad 'Sad Eyes' has on more than one occasion left audience members in tears . Her debut album Fur and Gold is a very special record , a cohesive collection of songs so haunting and mesmerizing it makes a striking impression on all who hear it . "

We Run New York ...

I was pretty sure it would happen one day or another . Some folks in Canada have just bought the rights of Ewing shoes ... yeah remember , Patrick Ewing , number 33 of the New York Knicks , the Beast Of The East , one of the best centers in NBA history .... yeah his shoes are coming back .

I bet they will stay on sales racks if they are not sold in limited numbers , but we'll see if those canucks know business . Whatever it's good news for the sneaker enthusiasts .

Money , Power , Respect ...

The following model was especially made for HBO's series Entourage by designer Mark Smith , number 2 at nike headquarters , recognised for his work on laser technology .

In Episode 33 , the shoe was said to be designed by "Fukijama" , and was released at the real Undefeated store in LA .


There are 3 versions of the shoes ( blue one , white outsole and black outsole ) , that are all ridiculously rare . One was recently sold through auction on ebay . I let you envy the seller ...

... and question yourself who is the real winner of this auction ... DJ Clerk Kent ? Fat Joe ? Jigga ? or Nike ? guess beaverton's firm has surely won something with the advertisement made by this auction in the sneakers community during a week .


You can't compete with Nike when it comes to advertising .

Emotion ...

Tonight is the beginning of the NBA Finals , and it's with nostalgy that I think about the past . Ten years ago , you showed Karl Malone the way back to home , after he stole your MVP title .

My Adidas ...

Coming this month , the Adidas x Undercrown collaboration is the most interesting new school release made by the german brand since the Adidas Mutombo . To underline this , the young Undercrown brand has chosen to use the Mutombo Pattern on three out of five shoes of the pack , with an incredible look as a result .



Prepare your high top cut , your afrocentrist tees , your zebra shades , and your gold chains to hit the playground , we are back in 1992 people .





Personally I am not a big fan of the models created for the Big Five , but those colors schemes are pretty cool , and the Undercrown Gil Zero looks hella good .
