Space Jam Retro 11 Release Date Pushed Back




These are the first pair of Jordan's I begged my mother to shell out $75.00 for. These are one of the most sought after pairs of Jordan's out there. They were set to be release on November 27, 2009, which happens to be Black Friday. One on busiest shopping days of the years. Can you imagine how many people are already going to be waiting outside the malls, stores, and boutiques already?...Alot! Thanks to Sneaker Obsession I found out that Jordan Brand has pushed back the release date until Dec 23, 2009. Which is still a big shopping day if you ask me...so my advice to those trying to cop a pair....pre-order..pre-order..pre-order...I dont usually pre-order but I will make it a point to get these classics.

To The Readers of this Blog

Recently you may have noticed that Saturday - Monday there were no posts. I just moved into my dorm @ college and so basically I'm busy taking care of setting up, financial aid, and the rest. I strongly believe I should be finished with most things by Friday, so thats when posts will regularly start appearing again. Don't be alarmed, I am still here!

Starting on Friday there will be a new type of post implemented with the regular sneaker updates. Look forward to it!

Holy Grail Re-release Alert : Air Jordan 11 “Space Jam”



The Jordan XI "Space Jam", one of the best known sneakers of all time, will grace us again this year on November 27th 2009 as a Quickstrike. The Jordan 11 was first seen during the 1995-1996 NBA season on Michael Jordan's feet, when he won the championship with the Chicago Bulls. The sneakers then appeared again on the blockbuster "Space Jam", released in 1996.

Bookmark the date guys, seriously. You might as well name it a double Quickstrike since its already well known that these sneakers will fly away - FAST.

QUICKSTRIKE : Nitro Microphone Underground x Nike Air Force 1 Supreme



Nitro Microphone Underground and Nike collab once again to bring us a new design of the Air Force Supreme, for their 10th anniversary.

“Featuring a faux 24K upper wrapped in heavy-duty black-on-black crackle, this is a shoe fit for hip-hop royalty. In keeping with the occasion, the right tongue is woven with the year ‘1999’ while the left reads ‘2009’. The laces are adorned with gold jewels and the lace-tips are crowned with gold screw-top caps, giving them extra weight.”




This WILL BE a Quickstrike, set to be released in September. Keep your eyes peeled for the release.

Nike Dunk Low Ultraman



Here we go. If its not bad enough that the hottest sneakers around are released ONLY in Asia, we have sneaker companies like Nike who continue to be influenced by Japan. Life as a sneaker head would be so much simpler if i just lived in Asia, right? That grudge aside, this sneak is influenced by the fictional Japanese character Ultraman. The back sports a metallic silver, with red accents on the heel, toebox and lace holes.



Doesn't this shoe colorway remind you of Ultraman's Suit? Of course it does. No matter how you want to slice it, this shoe looks HOT.



As per the case with nearly ALL hot sneakers, this was NOT released in the US to my knowledge. So if you want to cop a pair, go march on over to e-Bay and search for a pair in your size. It should be between $100-200 USD depending on size.

I should really start a petition to have more good looking sneakers released in the US........

New Balance A-20's



New Balance strikes again with the A-20, a Moccasin inspired sneaker influenced by the Navajo tribe. You get it all : leather heel tassels, rainbow bands similar to the patterns found in traditional Navajo textiles and solid cross stitching. Not to mention - the sneaker looks pretty comfy too. It comes two different colorways as well.





Some say this is a Japan only release (We all know how that goes, the best stuff only gets released in Japan.) Other people say that its a Worldwide release. But what I want to tell you, is to cop these two colorways at Atmos. Word on the street is they will be available somewhere between early September and October.

Nobody said the sneaker game was easy. Hey, if you fail at translating the Atmos page, there's always e-Bay if you really want them. Good luck!

P.S. Here's the link to the English version of the Atmos site. Lets all pray that the A-20's show up there soon! Click here.

Nike Quickstrike "Spike Lee Pack"



This year marks 20 years since the release of the classic film, 'Do The Right Thing' by Spike Lee. Although Jordan Brand has honored Spike many times in the past, Nike for the first time also is releasing a pack to honor the acclaimed director. Some of you may remember the earlier release of the "Do The Right Thing" Pack released by Jordan Brand in early July shown here.

However, that's not what we are focusing on today. This second pack features a Nike Big High and a Nike Blazer High. The Nike Big Nike High is in a classic red/black/white colorway that bears striking resemblance to the colorway of the Chicago Bulls.



The Nike Blazer High is a white/black/red/green colorway that brings to mind Sal's Pizza Shop in "Do The Right Thing." Both sneakers also feature a tongue tag with glasses.


Sneakers are serious business just like the clip above shows, and this pack is too. In case you were wondering, this IS a Quickstrike. No release date has been announced yet but keep your eyes peeled for the release of this sneaker!
