SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

Sunday, December 4th, 2011

Every year Nike gives the LeBron James signature shoes a nod to the city where he is playing basketball. Last year’s South Beach shoe is still a hypebeast classic. This year the shoes are a bit toned down as they reflect the colorway of the perennial college football powerhouse, the Miami Hurricanes.

The LeBron James shoe is supposed to be the highest performance level of basketball shoes that Nike produces since they are for the best player in the game right now. I understand that’s a debatable point but we’ll save that argument for an NBA thread.

The LBJ 9 is even sleeker than last years silhouette. His shoes have been getting less bulky since the 7. Now they look like MMA training x boxing shoes. The 9s bring back a full length airbag and an even deeper sculpt around the ankles and achilles points.

The detail which excited me for these shoes the most however is the carbon-fiber plate arch support shown on the instep photo.

I’m gonna need to visit FootLocker to get a feel for the weight of these shoes.

The LeBron 9 might have to end up under my tree for Kicksmas.

Newton’s Laws Of Gravity…

“An object an motion shall remain in motion”

I think we said this earlier and we don’t mind saying it again: Cam Newton is rookie of the year.

Cam Newton made light work of the once mighty, once proud Washington Redskins.

Did the Saint just Madden ’12 the Indianapolis Colts?

I had an embarrassing week on the Pick ‘Em Pool.

Now I’m back to the middle of the pack.

Detroit Rising…

Monday, October 3rd, 2011

detwah

The story isn’t about another second half meltdown for my Cowboys, but for a glimmer of greatness showing its face in Detroit. The Lions were as piss poor a football team as the city they represent was a former thriving municipality.

The Lions had fallen all the way the fuck off into a veritable abyss, but now in the first month of the 2011 Not For Long season they are one of the only two(2) undefeated teams. Unfortunately for them the other undefeated team is in their division and the reigning Super Bowl champs – The Green Bay Packers.

I don’t know how long these plucky Lions will remain undefeated, but at least their game on Thanksgiving against the Packers will be Must See TV. The DP.com Pick ‘Em Pool is four(4) weeks in and I’m sniffing the leader of the pack like a beagle after the fox. Here’s the lineup prior to Monday nite’s Colts-Bucs tilt…

Cam And Cheese…

cam

In the early parts of the Not For Long 2011 season the best story in the game is about a Black quarterback who was the number one overall draft pick but his name isn’t Michael Vick.

Cam Newton of the Carolina Panthers has been throwing the pigskin for yards on yards on yards even tho’ the Panthers haven’t yet cracked the wins column. I’m betting for Cam to go ham on Jacksonville today. Make sure you drop off your picks before 1pm EST.
