We open the year with a sneaker podcast banger. Eric from SneakerSteal.com drops gems for the sneaker fiends and Reham Habib, the General Manager of Greater China markets from Jordan Brand gives us some of her prime time. This is the best sneaker podcast on the world wide web.
I’m headed to an event today to launch the latest Carmelo Anthony signature shoe for Jordan Brand. The theme surrounding this shoe is Carmelo’s love for playing here in the city of his birth.
Carmelo will host this event along with a concert for 1,400 NYC schoolkids. Fabolous, French Montana and DJ Clue are the music. Hopefully Jordan Brand will lace me with a pair of the Melo M9s.
The Knicks colorway is official.
The Melo M9 is Carmelo’s most technically advanced shoe. And the lightest.
These shoes could be the reason Carmelo Anthony is shining on the court and having an MVP-caliber season.
Melo’s MVP play could also be attributed to the fact he is finally comfortable being back home in the greatest city in the world.
For my final fanboy clip to accompany the Mic Tyson album I took it all the way back to Brownsville to tap the inspiration for the rap album’s hardbody title.
Roberto Clemente was the GOAT. He died in the service of bringing peace to others. Clemente is a Yoruban saint of the highest order. Thank the spirits for the sun on your face and the wind on your back. God is good all the time.
