The Bodacious and Abs-tacular SERENA WILLIAMS Practicing In NIKE Gear

I really don't have much to say about Serena Williams right now. I don't mean that in a bad way, but if you're a guy and you see a very fit female with such... pronounced body features, it stirs you up in more ways than one.

Serena may not have the perfect face, but she has the body to make up for it, and NIKE gear sure does that for her (I wonder how often she works out 'cuz those shoulders are SERIOUS!).

Excerpt From COMPLEX Magazine: A Complete Guide To The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air's Sneakers

Check out this EXCERPT of COMPLEX MAGAZINE's Guide of all sneakers that Will Smith (FRESH PRINCE) wore throughout the tenure of the show. Very interesting, engaging, nostalgic article:

Air Jordan V Black/Black-Metallic Silver

Episode: #1 'The Fresh Prince Project', #2 'Bang The Drum, Ashley', #17 'The Ethnic Tip', #23 '72 Hours', & #37 'Something for Nothing'

Year (of Sneaker): 1990

From the very first moment Will pops up in the intro of the show, he dons a pair of black Vs. Throughout the first season it was obvious that William Smith/Williard Smith (his name on the show/real life) is a huge fan of Js including the nearly murdered-out numero cincos.

Nike Quantum Force

Episode: #6 'Mistaken Identity', #11 'Courting Disaster', #14 'Day Damn One', #18 'Young and the Restless', #25 'Working it Out', & #99 'The Philadelphia Story'

Year (of Sneaker): 1990

Stand out red joints like that? The Quantum Forces were a staple in the first season — seeing Will get arrested for racial issues, take over as captain of Bel-Air's basketball squad, scare the hell out of his little cousin Ashley, and catch the eye of Queen Latifah.

Nike Air Sonic Flight

Episode: #56 'Here Comes The Judge' & #60 'A Funny Thing Happened On The Way Home From The Forum'

Year (of Sneaker): 1992

In '92 Nike switched up the Flight logo and started dropping the top on its kicks and going with mid releases more and more. A man of times, Will started donning the mids more versus the chunky high-tops which were a staple in his footwear collection throughout the first two season.

WOW, those are some futuristic sneakers from the year 2023. Literally. Check out KID CUDI wearing the Nike Mag sneakers, the sneakers that light up in shades of blue and yellow and just puts you on a whole new pedestal of 'COOL', not L.A. GEAR 'silly'.

The sneakers run for I DON'T KNOW because it's a limited edition and was won by Kid Cudi in an auction, it seems.

Sneaker of the Day: Nike Crown x Dunk High Premium Hightops

These are way hott. Check out what Sneaker News says about this:

Back in 2006, Mighty Crown collaborated with Nike Sportswear on the Nike Dunk High, creating a regal colorway of brown tones using their signature crown logo on the upper. It features just two basic materials (a soft nubuck and a shiny patent leather), but for 2011, they've taken the Dunk High to the very brink of customization. The asymmetrical material blocking on the upper adds a unique contrast to the tonal-black shoe, and you certainly need all fingers to count the number of different materials that make up the shoe. Elephant print, matte croc skin, glossy snake skin, ostrich skin, distressed suede, *catches breath* woodgrain, suede, smooth leather - the list goes on.

Guys, remember those days when you were boys and you wore clothes like the above pic (maybe some of you still do?) Not that there's any thing wrong with that.

Sneaker of the Day: Nike AIR PRESTO Makes Explosive Return to Shelves

Does anybody remember when these first came out?? Talk about early 2000s nostalgia. Check out the return of the NIKE PRESTO. They are described as sturdy in construction, yet very flexible and CRAZY COMFORTABLE... I would know, I had navy blue PRESTOs when I kickin' it in middle school (8th grade).

Nice to see this back...

CHRIS BROWN's Spotted Lookin' Right On Swag; Just My Style (Update: Chris' Sext Pic)

Hey, woke up this morning to a website that had a picture of Chris Brown lookin' right on point, I mean like his style captured my eyes. I want to share with you how much I like the style and how often we do dress alike. Check out another pic of Chris Breezy leaving Maggiano's in L.A.

Sneaker of the Day: NIKE ALL-COURT MID CANVAS TZ

I have this HEALTHY FETISH (funny how those two words almost never go together) for canvas sneakers. there's something so clean and sobering about them, like a fresh canvas before a painter first touches it with his paintbrush.

I bring you the Nike All-Court Mid Canvas TZ, collaborated with Stussy. No "Swoosh." Just bare canvas. Drops March 1st.

So pure the shoe is... *Inhales.... Exhales....* 

Sneaker of the Day: NIKE AIR FORCE 1 XXXV (Black History Month Edition)

2011 is the 35th year observance of "Black History Month," hence the "XXXV." I know I'm black (of course, DUHH), but this is TOO 'BLACK' for my taste.

JAIDEN's 'Sneaker of the Day': Nike AirTrainer Volt

Here's what caught my eyes today, like a shock-k-kkk-kkk. After all, these sneakers are called the Nike AirTrainer Volt. This is a versatile sneaker that can be rocked at the gym (be in style when working out), at school (learn in style and comfort), and when you're just chillin'.

The brightness of the sneaker REQUIRES that it not be covered up with baggy jeans. For sneakers which have a look like this (brightness, texture, classic appeal), the jeans are to be regular fitted jeans (but not SKINNY.... please don't do that.) that come down to just above the middle of the sneaker.

Ya like??

JAIDEN's 'Sneaker of the Day':

Here's my SNEAKER OF THE DAY: The Nike Air Max Light with very light pastel colors (Light Wolf Grey). This is a different approach to Air Max that usually come in either bold, eye-catching colors or deep, dark colors. A nice switch-up, from what I'm looking at...

NIKE Women's Dunk High 'AMOR' Sneakers Are In time for Valentine's Day; These sneakers= LOVE!

These sneakers are indeed right on time. I KNOW that this is a Nike project that many ladies will love. It's like that vivid reminder when doodling on the back of a notebook was the entertainment during grade school, and now Nike revives the memories with the design 'AMOR' accompanied by the doodling on the shoes. I think it's hott and I look forward to a lovely and cool lady putting these on...

This is one of the nicest and unprecedented designs on Nike that I've seen in a while. 



NEW 2011 Nike Air Force One's In Colors Matching New York Yankees

These Air Force One's have been in for sooooo long and remains popular, since the stomping grounds of 1982. Brand perception is sky-high due to the comfort, quality, and never-changing style, just colorways.

Now entering the New Year is Nike releasing their special Air Force One's in Obsidian and White, inspired by the New York Yankees. I bet JAY-Z and other New York civilians are grinning from ear to ear. Also, this is a great colorway to go with virtually ANY urban clothes you put on. you can just rock the look right away, in any city you're in. Detroit--- we know how to rock it out!! :-)

Some may say, "Wait a minute, I've seen those colors before" but these are brand new colorways/arrangements, though. See more pics and get ready to buy..

Another AIR FORCE ONE is cleared for takeoff!!

NIKE Release ZOOM KOBE Shoes-- Could These Show Up On The All-Star B-Ball Court?

Could these ILL TO THE BONE basketball shoes created by Nike and KOBE BRYANT make it to the NBA All-Star floors, on the paint??!! These arrived right on the heels of the All-Star Game coming soon! I would like to see this.

The shoes have a real creative vibe different from the direction basketball shoes usually go in. Why? Check out the raised "animal prints" with a lil' story attached around different areas of the shoe.

I found these shoes on SneakerNews. Check out all the lil' details:

*Head nodding* Sweeeeeet....

JORDAN XIII's for Christmas, Anyone??

Christmas is coming up very soon, like TOMORROW, well...month and a half. What I mean by tomorrow is that somebody better be saving their money NOW in order to pick up these hott new Jordans that will be released in different December 2010 timeframes. Some have reportedly, according to FreshnessMag, been delayed by a few days. Even though that may not seem too much of a big deal, to an authentic SNEAKERHEAD, it's catastrophe.

Why is a simple delay by a few days a catastrophe? 'Cuz. For example, there's a cool swag event on a certain day, and a true sneakerhead knows that they would SHUT. IT. DOWN. with a crisp pair of juuuuuuust-released Jordans or whatever kicks are hott. These shoes sure are hott; the crave just can't stop.

Here's a list of dates that the above colorways will be released (not all are listed):

• Air Jordan 1s Armor Series and Altitude Green/Black - December 11th
• Air Jordan XIII Black/Altitude Green - December 11th
• Air Jordan XI Cool Grey - December 23rd

SNEAKERHEADS and Christmas shoppers, wake up!!
