Jordan 6 Rings



Date:4/2/08
Time: 8:05 Pm
Location: iMac

First came the Dub Zero. Second, the Spiz'ike. A third time is no surprise from Jordan Brand. The latest hybrid from the Jordan camp is the 6 Rings model. This shoe is a clash of every sneaker His Airness wore while stacking up those Championship rings in the 90's for the Chicago Bulls, not to mention some of Designer Tinker Hatfield's best work. We can clearly see a mixture of the Jordan VI, VII, VIII and XI, XII, XIII. The first color way to release will be a Concord AJXI inspired masterpiece with another Black/Red (pictured) version in full production form set to release after. These should be hitting select Jordan accounts in November

Now, my opinion,  I have always been anti-Dub Zero,Spiz'ike and Packs. When I got into collecting, thats not what it was about. It was about classic kicks that were straight dope to me. I actually like these. Reasons why? I like how it keeps the OG feel. It looks like all of the Jordans that are involved.

A.R.C. x Asics Onitsuka Tiger



Date:: 4/1/08
time: 9:16 Pm
Location: iMac

This is the next collaboration between ASICS‘ Onitsuka Tiger label and New York’s Rivington Club, aka A.R.C. All suede upper with a good mix of rip-stop nylon fabric. Each comes with a red Rivington Club tag near the heel. According to the ASICS’s design team, they worked on this collaboration first before refocusing their effort on the Godzilla inspired Gel Lyte III - Monster Pack. So in one way or another, this could be consider as the very first collaboration between Onitsuka Tiger and A.R.C. Due to release May of this year. Production is limited to 216 pairs only and will be exclusively available at the 3 ALIFE/A.R.C. retail locations.

Mark Gonzales Gazelle



Date:: 3/31/08
Time:: 9:50 p.m.
Location: iMac

Hailed from Southgate, California, just outside of Irvine, Mark Gonzales (or affectionally known by peers as The Gonz) formulated a signature move by ollie across a large gap. A move that will be forever known as the Gonz Gap.  But The Gonz’s talents were not limited to skateboarding only.  He expressed his artistic side by decorating his boards with his sketches, one of the first skaters to do so.  For the better part of the last decade, The Gonz has worked closely with athletic gear giant adidas.  And in early last year, Gonzales launched his own signature sneaker, based on the classic adidas Originals line.  Over the weekend, Sweden’s Caliroots just received the latest entry to Mark Gonzales’s signature Gazelle.  The mostly bone colored canvas, highlighted with brown suede.  The colorway reflects the sneaker’s namesake - gazelle.  In fact, graphics of 2 gazelle horns can be seen on the front of the outsole wall in front

Opening Day Pack



Date: 3/28/08
Time: Seven 45 Pm
Location: iMac

To pay tribute to Michael Jordan's first albeit less talented love of baseball comes an Air Jordan 1 pack called the "Opening Day". One of the dope baseball highlights is the baseball stitching seen across the side of the toebox. Available in two different pinstripe colors. I really like the choice of materials. I don't know how to describe it, it is almost like a suede. If i could have made something different on these, I would have changed the lace son the black pair. Like the white pair I would have added a pattern to them.

Fat Joe Album Release Party


Date: 3/24/08
Time: 6:46 p.m.
Location: iMac

This is a video from backstage at Fat Joes album release party, for Elephant in The Room, which was at Sofa Lounge in the Bronx. fat Joe is hanging out back stage with Rick ross, KRS One and Slick Rick talking about how hip hop was back then. The influence of KRS to him.

It truwe though Hip Hop was at its highest peak back then, it was actually Hip Hop not just some fake ass rap music.

Props to joe. There a re certain dudes in the game that really steal alot of light form him. And I truly feel that he is one of the better emcees in the game right now plus an OG and hasn't really got the props he deserves.

CG Spizike


Date: 10/23/08
Time:10:15 Pm
Location: Macbook Pro
The "Cool Grey" Jordan Spiz'ike surfaces once again. Originally worn by MJ last Summer during one of his Basketball Camps, the "Cool Grey" Spiz'ike has since become one of the more mysterious Jordan Brand releases as it seems to pop up every 3-4 months. It is back once again, and even still, nearly a year after their initial surfacing, a release date has not been confirmed. From these new pics though, the "CG" Spiz'ikes feature a Black/Cool Grey Nubuck upper and a fan favorite clear midsole.
