DallasPenn.com created Sneaker Fiends Unite! to highlight the collector who had the ability to find great shoes for far less than their original retail offering. This has made DP the king of come-ups. The man who holds more heat for less…
DallasPenn.com visits the high temple of the high top Dunk – Niketown NYC. AirMax, Air Trainer SC 2010 and the AirMax Attack Pack are all the objects of DP’s affection. Figuratively, and literally…
April 15th is the day most of us dread because we only think of it in terms of the statements we submit to the Internal Revenue Service, but April 15th should be an American holiday. Today is also the day that Jack Roosevelt Robinson played his first game as a member of the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Without this watershed moment in our country’s history we might still be using separate water fountains across the nation. It bears remembering that Jackie Robinson was as proactive off the field as he was on the diamond. He was an activist for equality in every walk of life and one of the greatest examples of the American ideal.
Let his memory make every April 15th a day to look forward to.
Watching the homey KEVIN DURANT the other nite against Golden State two things became obvious to me…
KD shitted on the Golden State Warriors for 40 points, but he needed at least three more in his final boxscore. His 3-point attempt at the end of regulation would have given the Thunder an overtime period to do what they should have done in the first place. That the Thunder can still lose this late to a non-playoff team means that they still aren’t tuned up for a long playoff run. DURANT might could use one or two players to further complement what he and RUSSELL WESTBROOK are doing.
I’m glad that KD isn’t a surprise around the league any longer. Sonn is the truth(no Paul Pierce). I’m not counting DURANT or the Thunder out of the 2010 post-season tournament, but I’m even more excited for what he will be doing next year. I never really liked KOBE and I never bought into the LeBRON machine. DURANT was the breath of fresh air in the Association. No one was handjobbing that dude on ESPN, but now its like everybody is a Durantula stan. Ah well, such is the league when your aging all-stars are playing in Puerto Rico to get themselves out of gambling debts.
Around the Association…
While Cleveland boasts the best record in the league this season, every playoff team in the Western Conference has at least the same record as the Boston Celtics (the East’s #4 seed). The Western Conference ‘chip > the overall league Finals.

Dwayne Wade will stay in Miami. No, Dwayne Wade will retire in Miami.
The Nets won’t have the league’s worst record evar this season, but there is always NEXT season.
The Association has become like the NFL in that this offseason could produce the highest number of coaching vacancies we’ve seen. Let me publicly say that I will volunteer to pack Mike D’Antoni’s luggage
“Back before I injured my hip, I thought going to the gym was for wimps.” -Bo Jackson
I’m using the Internets Celebrities FIT club movement to get my ass back into a gym to start sweating. I’m also taking the opportunity to copp some more ‘gym’ shoes. Nike pushed the level up a notch when they first introduced the cross-trainer shoes marketed by BO JACKSON.
Cross-trainers had been popular, but ultimately faggy shoes that were fine for low impact workouts and jazz-ersizing, but not strong enough for rigorous workouts. The Air Trainer SC was the godfather of the ‘all sports’ shoes. Nike properly re-visioned their classic with the Air Trainer SC 2010.
You see the Flywire supports on the breathable mesh upper so you know the shoe will provide the stability you need. The inner collar looks to still be comfortable enough to tie these shoes up nice and tight.
I like how Nike has incorporated an air max bubble in the heel larger than the previous SC models.
I don’t know where to copp these in person, but then again, isn’t this is what SFU-NYC tours are for?
I just realized that there hasn’t been a Black quarterback who has won a Super Bowl since Doug Williams did it!?
Maybe Rush Limbaugh is right? Blacks might not be built for this position [ll].
And how good was Doug Williams?!?
