Jordan Campus Chukka



The Jordan Campus Chukka is a simple silhouette, premium suede and the only Jumpman logo is on the tongue just to let you know where these kicks came from.

This black colorway will debut the Campus Chukka, followed by a brown and tan colorway later in the summer. Retail is set at $110.

I Like The Way Joakim Noah Parties




The Bulls got bounced from the playoffs after seven games with the Celtics in easily the best first round series I’ve ever seen in my life.
So the Bulls players have nothing to hang their heads about and it’s time for them to off-season party.



Judging by these pictures of Joakim Noah on the beach in St. Barts with his mystery topless girlfriend, the partying is well underway!






Thank Hooped Up Online for the story.

Air Jordan 1 Retro 60+ Pack



Jordan Brand has been using the 60+ title a lot lately, here's a pack deserving of it.




To celebrate MJ's 63 point performance against Larry Bird and the Boston Celtics on April 20, 1986, Jordan Brand is releasing the Air Jordan 1 60+ pack. The first pair is the OG (or pretty close) black/red/white colorway, and the second colorway is an all new one, featuring the Boston Celtics colors.



Thank Sneakerfiles for the info.

Air Jordan IV Fusions

I have never been a big fan of the Air Jordan Fusions but the upcoming Air Jordan Fusion IV's are pretty dope.





Release date is set for September 12th.

Air Jordan VII Black/Charcoal



With all the attention that the Air Jordan 5 Toro Bravo Pack has received, it is safe to say that simple Retro Jordans are still most demanded by sneakerheads.





The Air Jordan VII in this new makeup of Black/Charcoal-Team Red is very similar to the Raptor colorway, but with Charcoal panels similar to the Bourdeaux Jordan VII. This particular colorway will hit retailers August 22nd, alongside another Air Jordan VII, which will be done up in Orlando Magic colors.




Stay tuned for more info. Thank NiceKicks.com for the info.

“Toro Bravo” Pack’s Release Date Change


In the same manner of the Air Jordan 11/12 Countdown Pack last December, the upcoming (sooner than you think) Air Jordan 5 “Toro Bravo” Pack’s release date has been pushed up a week. The original date was set for May 30th, 2009, however, its new pending release date is now set for May 23rd, 2009.

The two-sneaker pack, which includes two exclusive Air Jordan 5 colorways, is inspired by many of Michael Jordan’s accomplishments and the way he played the game. The pack will be sold in a customized package which is inspired by the wooden gates that withholds a bull from escaping. Check your nearest Air Jordan retailer on May 23rd to snag the Air Jordan 5 “Toro Bravo” Pack for $310.

Dunkeys



ToysREvil gives us a look Coolrain’s newest work - Dunkeys. If you aren’t familiar with Coolrain’s work, Google their Monsterz Crew collection. They’re some extremely dope vinyls dressed in Nike Sportswear gear. Dunkey’s do not stray to far from that as they can be seen rocking Nike SB Dunks.




“Korean urban 1/6-customizer and figure-creator Coolrain drops word of his upcoming two 1/6-creations: DUNKEYS = his second series after MonsterzCrew and his first collaboration work with sEMAN10cM. Pre-orders begin May 1st 2009 for the articulated 1/6th-scaled PITHECUSE and PITHECUSE B/W.

WHAT-IS: DUNKEYS = Dunk + Monkey. Dunkeys are characters that are a apart of a larger story-concept dubbed “preyBall”.”

“The Shot” 20 Years Later


With the best-of-five first round series tied 2-2, Michael Jordan took charge of the Bulls in the final seconds of Game 5 when Chicago trailed the Cleveland Cavaliers by a point. Michael Jordan hit a jumper with 0:06 left to put his team in good position to win the series. On the Cav’s next possession, Craig Ehlo scored a go ahead bucket with only three ticks left on the game clock which looked to be their ticket to the next round.

With only seconds left, Michael Jordan caught an inbound pass and put up “The Shot”. With time expiring while the ball was in the air, the shot came down through the hoop and took the Bulls to the next round.



It was 20 years ago today that in this defining moment Michael Jordan pulled off the unimaginable. And the sneakers he wore while doing this? None other than the Air Jordan 4 Black/Red.



Michael, thanks again for all the memories and thank Matt Halfhill at NiceKicks for the story.

I put togther a shirt design for "The Shot" last year and never printed it.

Stay tuned,

The shirt is coming soon.
