Black History Month X Phli X Nike
Posted February 27th, 2007 by sho3tym
This past Saturday, I was privileged enough to be invited to a Black History Month party held at PHLI. This event was unreal, from the food (salmon, catfish, hot wings…I always appreciate the free food) to the live entertainment. I’m not the best with names, but on hand was a poet who took part in HBO’s Def Poetry Jam, although I have never watched this before. She was a very motivational speaker and she spoke of many truths. read more...
Valentine's Day
Posted February 13th, 2007 by sho3tymValentines Day is on Wednesday, which basically means not a lot of time left for gifts. So I come to you with a few ideas. If you know me, then you know those gifts will be shoe related as well as have some tie to Nike.
First up: Womens Air Force 1 Valentines Day edition. I like this shoe a lot. It has a satin feel to it. read more...

Foams Are Back
Posted January 30th, 2007 by sho3tymNot a lot needs to be said, other than be sure to run to the nearest quickstrike account as soon as possible. They have returned the ever durable Foamposite One. Worn by Penny Hardaway as well as Mike Bibby in the National Championship Game.
There is no set release date, but if you know what they are, then you know how important this shoe is.
I hope everyone had a good break. I’ve returned to classes, nothing too thrilling here. Christmas was good, picked up Fire Red 5’s which were previously mentioned in my blog. To my surprise those sold out relatively quick for a general release.
Also over break, I proposed to my girlfriend of over a year, and now I am engaged. That’s a large part of why it has taken me so long to get back to the blog here. From going to reception halls to meeting with the photographer, it is not easy. I have not decided which shoes I will be wearing during that day, I have received the “ok” to wear something Nike, which will not be a easy decision. read more...

Finals Here, But Jordans On My Mind
Posted December 12th, 2006 by sho3tymWell finals certainly came out of nowhere this semester. So with that coming up, already knocked German out on Monday. Talk about a tough test. Still leaving Marketing, Management and Communications. I certainly have my hands full. On top of all that, my birthday was last Sunday, the 10th.
With all this going on, still in the back of my mind I have Jordans. This Saturday the 16th, marks the release of the Fire Red Jordan 5. One of the most anticipated releases for me. Original colors, can’t go wrong.
Are you a Rap legend? If so you could grab you a pair of these for free. If you’re an average Joe like me, for only $4500 you could grab yourself a 10.5, which happens to be the size of Jay-Z himself:
Well I’ve returned from a much needed Thanksgiving break, especially from classes and studying and all that nonsense. Didn’t do too much shoe-wise over break, which is kind of a good thing.
Jordan-wise things are kind of slowing down now until December when that Fire Red 5 comes out. See previous blog for pictures of that shoe. I’m excited that Jordan is giving me a “semi-break” so I can focus on other stuff.
Also with December coming, that means the Jordan 2 inspired Dunk is set to release. Pictured below, I’m pumped for this shoe, simply for the simplicity. I’m a sucker for white soles as well: read more...
Like most things today, Shoe collecting has become commercialized. At times, I just want to give it up and walk away. This is a lot easier said than done. It amazes me when I go to a Jordan Release and I see kids in line picking up a shoe of a man they never saw play. Granted I like the interest in Jordan, but I think its for the wrong reasons. They don’t know how hard he played on the defensive end of the court or how he developed through his career. Rather they’ve seen a couple highlight tapes and people around them wearing Jordan’s, so obviously they think its cool. Also with Jordan Brand going way too far with one shoe, how many Retro 5’s are we going to see? Now we have Life Style releases which are supposedly limited. read more...
