Nike Air Trainer 1 “No Ka Oi”
These Nike Air Trainer 1’s are inspired by Brandon Roy and the Portland Trailblazers, but they sure have that No Ka Oi feel.
To bad these player exclusives are not for general sale.

For the hardcore Twilight saga fans, do you own a pair of Nike’s Air Twilight?
Grammy Award for Best Kicks?
If the Grammy Awards recognized the best kicks in a musical performance then the award would have definitely gone to Eminem and Lil Wayne. During their Grammy night performance of Drake’s Forever, Eminem rapped with what looked like Nike Air Max 90s while Lil Wayne rocked the distinctive Air Jordan 11, Space Jam editions.
And yes, Lil Wayne matched his kicks with the lyrics of Forever.

LeBron Dunkmans Are Popping
I haven’t bought a pair of basketball shoes since I retired from the game, but these Air Max LeBron VII Dunkman Editions might change my mind.
Did Perseus Have Blistered Feet?
Is that how Perseus felt riding atop the winged Pegasus? I surely doubt it, but for me, I am getting blisters from running in my new Nike Air Pegasus 26+ shoes. I’m hoping this is just part of the break in process.
With the 26th model, the Pegasus line has a long history of running, and it is a no frills runner’s shoe with the right amount of tech in the right places, no more, no less.
Rod’s New Colorful Kicks Are Nikes?!
University of Hawaii basketballer, Rod Flemings, has his unique sense of style with his kicks. In 2010, he’s at it again with a garish display of every color in the rainbow and then some.
The kicks are custom made and molded to better fit Rod’s dogs, but my question is how does Rod get to don the Swoosh when the team is sponsored by the three stripes of Adidas? Is there some kind of medical clause? Does Rod (or the school) pay a fine or something? Hope these rainbow Nikes lead the Rainbows to victories.
Random Pictures from December 28, 2009
I’m still catching up with 2009 with random pictures taken on 12/28/2009.

Look for New Running Shoes
After 72 runs and 209 miles, I think it’s time to replace my Nike Structure Triax+ 12 running shoes. These shoes were great but have recently started to feel soft and spongy like it’s not providing firm support or adequate cushioning. Maybe I’ll get another pair.
Or maybe I’ll take a look at the Lunarglides or Air Max 2009.

The 90’s Was My Kicks Era
Over on Slam Online, they’re reminiscing the top basketball kicks from the 80’s, 90’s, and now. Without a doubt, the 90’s was my kicks era. Let’s check them off:
- And1 Tai Chi
- Nike Air Max Penny
- Nike Air Flight Huarache
- Air Jordan XI
- Nike Zoom Flight (not really, but I had the cheaper versions)
- Nike Air Max Uptempo (the OG colorway is the best)
A very nice stroll down the kicks memory lane indeed.
