Shox BB4 Vince Carter - Olympics HOH


12 years ago Nike's Shox cushioning system was still a new technology, the shock absorbing and returned system was once thought to be the future of Nike's cushioning. Inspired by space suits for the upper and very futuristic design overall back in the days. We all know how this shoes changed the game: Vince Carter!

Fly Wade 2 EV - Club Purple


Been away on vacation for 3 weeks and things have changed a lot dramatically. Various NBA players such as KD, Josh Smith, Lamarcus Aldridge, Amare Stoudemire, Chris Bosh.. etc have unleashed their new signatures / PE colorways of sneakers. Westbrook rumored to get an endorsement with Adidas but ended up signing Nike, been juicing with a PE Super Fly during several pre-season games.

But none of the above were as excited as the departure of D. Wade from the Jordan brand to Li-Ning, an athlete sports wear brand from China, found by the former Chinese gymnast Li Ning. All time #1 performance kicks of my personal choice by far, the Fly Wade 2, be sure to pick up one while they are still available.

Zoom Rookie - Memphis Blue


I was once told by a dumbass buddy saying I have written too much as any sneakerheads would have known all sneakers specs, news from many famous online sites / blogs. Damn this lazy guy wants to see more pics but less readings lol...

Was going start a separate Penny project with all my lovely Pennies but figured it may not for everyone. So lets kick off from the school years back when Penny was in the Memphis State University, the Zoom Rookie Memphis Blue.

Jordan CP3 III


Finally getting to the sneaker of one of the most anticipated guards in the NBA. The 3rd signature shoe of Chris Paul CP3 III. This is a very comfortable shoe to ball in and I'm liking every detail on the shoe. One thing when I look at a pair of sneakers, its uniqueness separating it from all other shoes from the same brand or other brandings. Unlike the LBJ 10, I still find it looking very much alike the HyperDunk 2012. Which you can kinda tell they were both coming from the similar design base in shape.

Adidas Super Beast - St Patrick's Day - DH


As usual trending, many shoes from the 3-stripes have always needed either from a very strong push of an endorsement to a star, or a well known popularity of their historical models such as the Adidas original off court designs. There is no difference in the Howard signature series. Based on my observation it is much easier for Nike to come up with bunch of weirdo looking, low-medium performance balling kicks but still sells decently well, where it is completely opposite on the stripes side. But this doesn't decrease my love of Adidas. They're honestly missing some sick undeniable kicks on court, but this Super Beast has definitely taken my heart away.

Lebron 9 - Summit Lake Hornets



Decided to try finishing up all my owned Lebron write-ups so expect more coming the next little while.

The Summit Lake Hornets, one of the most anticipated colorways of the LBJ 9 series. I can’t say if this is one of the best 9s but definitely the top 3 for me. Not sure if I will ever be popping this pair at the end but its been tempted countless times.

Melo M8 - Gym Red / White / Black


Sick of Melos yet? Lol....... The best is still yet to come. More Melo M8 are coming...

That's right another cw. This gym red color way has been one of the most hated cw to many sneaker heads. I believe I'm one of the very few who has possitive opinion on it. Not just the shoe itself performs awesomely wicked, but I found various combo of colors actually drives its individual characters. Just like this awesome cherry-ish gym red.
