If u have never owned a pair of L.A Gears when you were a kid, then u must have not been an 80's or 90's baby. lol I had several pairs of these when I was a kid but if u missed out on these then, u have an opportunity to get them in 2009. LA Gear recently collaborated with Sportie LA to re-release detailed reproductions of a few of LA Gear’s OG styles such as LA Gear Fire, LA Gear Star Shooter, and the LA Gear K.A.J. If you recall, some of these styles, released back in ‘89-’90 as part of the “Unstoppable” line. The “Unstoppable” LA Gear line will publicly re-release in 2009, however, if you cannot wait until next year you can purchase them now at select Sportie LA shops. Via SportieLA.

Unlike you 11/12 package heads, i will spend my Christmas cash on a more useful, more investing pair of jordans. The Air Jordan 2s, Eminem edition. Not only are 313 pair made because of Eminems hometown area code, but these bad boys are gonna be exclusive on flight club, thats right ladies and gents, FLIGHT CLUB ONLY, unlike some people, i have a flight club account so instead of spending 310 on the 11/12 package that comes out on the 20th on this month, im gonna be online on Dec. 18th, which is two days before. This is not the first Eminem x Air Jordan Collabo, they have partnered on numerous occasions to develop great shoes. GOOD LUCK on getting these.

ATTENTION ATTENTION

The Air Jordan 11/12 CDP that was set to release December 26 has been changed to Dec. 20th, I repeat, it has been changed to Dec.20th. Jordan Brand has a history of doing this so don't be surprised. Get your cake up and get these.

Nike Zoom LeBron 6 “Miami”

I guess 2009 is the year for my hometown. Home of the mangos, latina women, palm trees, fried conch, i need to stop cause im missing home already. N.E ways, the Miami edition is the second release to drop paying tribute to LeBron’s favorite cities. The “Big Apple” colorway hit the court in New York a couple weeks back and also I posted it on the blog, so can we expect King James to be rocking a Miami Vice colored jersey to match these kicks featuring the pink and aqua colors that have become synonymous with Miami’s sunsets and nightlife? You can bet NBA execs will have a say against it, but then again, the cost of a fine to James, is well worth the attention these kicks would get if he rocked them on court.

Nike Air Penny 2 Miami Heat Colorway

Two Times for the 305. I must have been studying really hard last year because I didnt kno Penny Hardaway played for the Miami heat last year....even though he played 16 games, he still rocked the greatest NBA Jersey ever invented. The Nike Air Penny 2 Miami Heat Colorway features orange and red accent colors on a mostly black upper. The Penny 2 dropped this year in both the black and white Orlando Magic colorways, but these kicks won’t hit shelves until sometime in 2009.

Supra Cruizer Low “Grapes”

Ok, I am not a big supra fan as much as I am a fan of Jordan and Nike SB but these supras are fire. The Supra Cruizer Low “Grapes” come straight off the stove in the OG colorway made famous by the Air Jordan 5. The Cruizer design takes cues from the Jordan 4, with a mesh side panel, similar toebox and heel tab as well. Available Spring of 2009, priced at a reasonable $70, you can bet heads will be copping these. Im definitely gonna cop these....as soon as I find a store in ATL with a supra account.

Air Jordan 1 Retro Infrared

Don't expect these to come out any soon. There has been plenty of AJ1's to come out this year but my opinion, these are the best so far. This upcoming release takes one of the most iconic colorways in Nike history, made famous by the Air Max 90, the “Infrared” colorway. The Air Jordan 1 Infrared was set to drop at the end of January, these photos leaked from a Jordan Brand sales rep, who mentioned they “might” drop in March. You know how Jordan Brand loves to take the “smoke and mirrors” approach on giving up information on upcoming releases, with a color combo this fresh, it’s no surprise this drop is no different. Wen I find out, youll find out.

DISNEY x THE HUNDREDS PREVIEW

You know I had to put this up. I think this is gonna be the hottest collection yet. Cant wait till this drops. These pics were taken outside of their San Fran Store.
