IDK if Wale is mad or not but this banger will answer some questions…not one mention of Reeboks. Ross look like he wears Ree Rees anyway. I’m sure they are hot, but I also don’t think he knows anything about sneakers calling the Spiz ‘Ikes, Spikes. Maybe Spike Lees, like calling Jordans …Mike’s…idk but the song is hot….
Nike Mercurial Vapor Superfly 2 FG CR7 Safari
I dont know when these came out but yea, if I played soccer…yea
Had some shoes that were suppose to make Friday Footwear. Here ya go…
There are Air Jordan 9 University Oregon, Air Jordan 11 Space Jam cleats, All White Foamposite One, Grey Winterized Jordan 6 Rings, University of Oregon Lebron 4s, Oklahoma State University Cowboys Air Jordan 9, BJ Armstrong Jordan 9, Ohio State Lebron 4s, Nike Zoom Rookie, and some Adidas with the WIngs..
Air Jordan 5 “Red Tail” make-up inspired by the 2012 film “Red Tail” which honor the Tuskegee Airmen in a high flying thriller similar to Michael Jordan himself. This shoe is inspired by WWII Mustang fighter plane so there is plenty of relevance here.

There was much talk about the the Foamposite One Galaxy over the NBA All Star weekend. The shoe was out shadowed by the chronic wear-er of Foamposites himself Mr. Anfernee Hardaway. Penny word the Foamposite One dubbed the Shooting Stars. They are Orlando Magic inspired and they complete and continue the Foamposite hotness…
thank you sole collector for the closeup
Needless to say, these are probably ONE of ONE. Remove the Penny symbol, add your own logo. He’s done these before with the Lebron 4s. I call them the Foam Brons. They are the Foamposite Ones with Lebron make up. AND THEY ARE AWESOME AND I WANT YOU TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT…
Sad story. I stood in line for these shoes. I was the 31st person in line at 730. They said they had 44 pairs. Only 15 people went in and they sold out. I would have to get this tattoo to pay about the same price to get these shoe now. Ebay was too high. People were losing lives. I seen a guy wearing them at work at his sneaker store…what a waste…i mean, you might as well pour ketchup on them…you dont wear them to work son…UNFORGIVABLE. #Air Jordan Concord 11 i’ll get you next time in 16 years….
I don’t know if I posted these shoes before. If you don’t know…these shoes are some hot garbage. I did some thinking though. I would play sports in these shoes. If they had my name or a famous basketball players name on them others would hop on the bandwagon too. Jordan Brand (and Reebok) have made some ugly shoes (almost on purpose) but they sell off the shelves. I retract my hate on these shoes. I now APPROVE of these. They have the Jordan 20 sole, Foamposite One Upper, Huarache inspired and probroably CB4 sock interior. Slap Blake Griffen’s or Monty Ellis name on these and you got a winner.
LADIES !!!!!
Another GREAT Aquarius Bill Russell deserves his propers for his commitment to greatness in the NBA.
I havent done a sports joint in a long time. It’s not much but i want to put some things into perspective.
People talk about Wilt, MJ, Kobe and Lebron. I don’t even see why they talk about Lebron but whatever. These guy all talk about MJ. I used to hate MJ. Until i realize his dominace as I became and adult. I’m happy to have seen him play live on NBA on NBC.
The greats always look up to one other guy. The ring master. Bill Russell. I never seen him play, and I used him on NBA 2K back in the day. As a true NBA fan and critic I have seen that it all comes down to the rings. Just like I had to humble myself and say MJ was killing my favored Knicks and Sixers and Pacers and winning chips I HAVE TO acknowledge the GREAT Bill Russell for his contribution to dominance in the NBA. I mean 11 rings compared to everyone chasing 5…and then some.
Like all great dynasties his teams did not stay together and he lost his Coach Auerbach. Bill Russell’s list of accomplishments makes him a decorated monster in the leagues history. It’s a shame he wasn’t a Sixer and i wonder what number Dr J would wear if he did play for Philly. Here is the skinny.
Teams over the years

1968 – 6 Russell | 7 Bryant | 11 Graham | 12 Chaney | 16 Sanders | 17 Havlicek | 18 Howell | 19 Nelson | 20 Siegfried | 24 Jones | 26 Johnson | 28 Barnes | Player-Coach Russell
I really haven’t said much. Look Bill Russell up. He was the core and is one of the greatest players of all time. That’s my whole point and more people need to give him his props because all he players do.

They dedicate songs to sneakers like this. Shoe game crazy. The FoamPz One are already fire. Colorway will def catch an eye or two. The Yellow well cause people to know you spent that green and faces red. Guaranteed to get the most Hitlerest Hater to say ‘Nice Shoes Bro’….

Any nite I perform like Mike, anyone, Tyson, Jordan, Jackson, Action
…wearing Michael Jacksons.
MJ was a spokesperson for a signature line by LA Gear. Michael Jackson was and still Unstoppable as the shoes proclaimed. The pictures tell the story better than I ever could. He wore like a size 9.5- 10 shoe. He had matching shoes with jackets (studs to boast but no red with zippers…yet). They weren’t as hot as the bed room slippers he performed in, but as a sneakerhead you can’t deny these. At least I can’t.
Comfort and durability in these kicks are questionable, yet it was one of the biggest sellers of the early 1990s. Come on !! Mike wore these. MJ. You’re dressing like him (back then), trying to dance like him, yada, yada, yada, you might as well have the shoes too. Any chance to dress like Mike. Even I wanted that M. Bison outfit he had on with the shin gaurds and cape. He HEEEAAA. (google M. Bison)
IS IT THE SHOES….WHOO!
Well I got the Nike Total Foamposite Max and the Jordan 10 Steel all in one day…The sneaker gods have completed my life. Yup, (Eben Gregory voice) The big homie has been putting in mad over time and had to sacrifice the blogging-ness for some new kicks.
All I need now are the Grape Jordan 5s and i wont need sneakers anymore. I will retire as a Sneaker head
“Penny has the best shoe line next to Gary Payton next to Jordan” guess that’s why Jordan later sign Gary Payton to his PE’s
Hand Clapp’n, gum chewing, head cock’n, Ish Talk, with some fresh kicks on stealing the ball or laying u up, or the alley oop when he feels like it. #1 he’s got a ring, and was in the Jordan era, # 2 he held his own, # 3 he has an immortal nickname (The Glove) <led the league in steals multiple times> and # 4 it’s GP baby.
Gary Payton is clearly one of the only players to have a signature line that rivals MJ’s and Penny. Barkley had comfort, CWebb had style, Garnet and Allen Huston had technology, Jason Kid had ‘revolutionary’ kicks. Steve Nash didn’t always have the best kicks. VC did not, Mawberry, T Mac, etc, they had a good shoe…not a nice line. I’m talkn like AI made u wanna rock Reeboks over ur Jordans type shoes. Penny, Barkley, Rodmans, CWebbs, FoamP’s, AF1s, Max Airs (notice I dint say Lebrons, or Melo’s (though Melo second shoe still hottest in his line) Amares, or any Cons. GP’s shoes run those out here. Top Tier. The folks at Nicekicks.com said they wanted those GP Air Zoom 99s back (back when sneaker were sneakers). I say bring em all back. WITH THE NON RUMOR THAT THE TIM DUNCAN ARE COMING BACK Nike should make moves on GP (and the Alan Huston Foamposites while they are at it)
NON KICKS FACTS:
Gary “Glove” Payton was in ur face, scoring, slashing, running the floor on some Point Guard *ish. He had is own shoes to boat and he was winning. They had a good shot to beat the Bulls, but you know who, did you know what. He didn’t fade out or loose edge over time. Glove was always relevent until it was time to go. He may not be remembered for his shoes exclusively, but the people that know, know. KG and Barkley is see yal, but it’s GP time.

If you are a sneaker head then you already know
Pee po never get it when it comes to Jordans. They can’t be just on your feet.
If you got some fake ones I can’t knock your hustle.
THE BOX
. The first place to check is the production numbers. You do this by matching the number on the inside tag with the number on the box.
.Fake Jordan box tags usually give a sign of spelling mistakes or acronyms. Air Jordan 7 Retro greater than but not equal to A JRDN 7 RET
.Is your box small, like a woman’s shoe would come in….then it’s a fake box that will most likely have fake shoes.
. The box that fake Air Jordans come in doesn’t have the same print quality as the authentic Air Jordan boxes. Click on the photo to the right to see an enlarged example.
.Retro card inside the box obviously copied or otherwise fake looking, the shoes probably are too.
. All your Air Jordans have their release dates, to the day, printed on the tag! Use this info to double check rarity, and as a check to determine between Air Jordan Retros and Originals.
THE LOGO
. Look for the Jumpman logo on chrome lace ends, for shoes that come with them.
.Look for 4 finger and one shoe lace stiched on each shoe of the Jumpman. Make sure it’s not just painted on the shoes. Your Jumpman should NOT have 3 fingers….
. There are No orange Nike tags.
. Look for obvious deformities in your jumpman logos! Misshapen arms, midsections, heads…take a look at the jumpman to the right, for instance.
. Compared to Real Jordans the Fake Jordans will have compress numbers and lighter shades of color (that will not hold up for years). What should be patent or gloss will be dull.
THE SHOES
. The original & retro ones are the only Air Jordan to feature the swoosh on the outside. However, the original 2 – 8’s do feature one on the insole. Besides those shoes, Nike swoosh’s on Air Jordans means beware.
. Your shoes should never be wrapped in tissue paper, only the standard brownish paper standard on most Nike shoes.
. Beware unbelievable colors! Check our model guide for a COMPLETE listing of colorways.
.Shoes shipped from Asia are sometimes good.
. Any shoe marked “B” grade on a website or in a shoe means it has a defect. These shoes are commonly available at factory outlets, or wholesalers that would have ties to Nike corporate.
.Fake Jordans are shorter in height.
.Playing for high quality shoe with high quality materials means the shoe is gonna look the same for some years. If it looks limp out of the box then they are no good. (Tounge, toe, heal)
. Imperfections. Real Jordans are smooth all the way around inside and out. Though Fake Jordans may come from the same stencil they will be ‘unsmooth’ with small triangles on the guts/ cuts/ edges. They will have strings…chilling…that is not Real Jordan quality.
. Real Jordans shoes the colors don’t bleed in to other colors. They will miss an edge before they leak over. If they miss then they are usually B grade imperfections sold at outlets.
.There are a like 2 Jordans that you can remove the insole. The XXI, the Fly Wade, and i forget the other one. If you can remove your soles you are in trouble. If you can remove them for whatever reason…the stitching wont look like you did it late friday night with a gun to your head.
.The laces can be purchased….then they are Fake, usually….
THE SOUL
. Carbon Fiber is hard as heck. Fake Jordans have carbon fiber painted on some plastic. (the checker box black and grey pattern that is hard as on your instep on the outsole). You can scratch the paint off, and bend it. You can’t bend carbon fiber on your REAL Jordans…
THE TAG
.If you take a flash light and hold it behind the white tag inside the shoe you will notice white perforations on the side of the tag. You have fakes.
THE LINE
Each line has a fake. I didn’t do the research. I was lazy. Fakes are out there. Fake 2’s…Fake 5’s…Fake 7’s…Fake 11’s…Fake Fake FAKE.
It’s hard to spot a fake, and some fakes look better and even make more sense than originals. Fakes are good to play ball in. Fakes are good to take to All-Star Weekend. The only thing wrong with fakes is that I will know, the next sneaker head will know, and sadly, you already know.
JORDAN PE’S
There ARE a LOT of player PE (Player Edition) shoes out there. Jason Kid, Ray Allen, Mike Bibby and Gary Payton have some Jordans for you in some color ways. Eddie Jones and Carmello also have excellent PE that you would think are fake. NO. they are Real Jordans that look Fake. If it’s too good to be true though…they probably are fake.
