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.
Was 2009 fierce for you?
Retro-styled Air Jordans at Macy’s.
UH men’s basketball takes on the powerhouse of Northwestern State. Can you spot former UH head coach Riley Wallace in the stands?
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.

So you’ve been captured by a blobby, intergalactic crime lord and forced to wear a metal bikini, where would you find matching kicks?
Why, from Adidas of course! Adidas has a collaboration line with Star Wars featuring some interesting items like these Princess Leia themed kicks.

May The Force be with you this Holidays season!
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.

Speculating What Rod Will Be Rockin’
Just speculating what Roderick Flemings’ “special order” kicks will be. If he wants a doozy, how about these Adidas T-Mac 6 special make up by Undercrown? They’re even in UH colors of white, green, and orange.
What Will Rod be Rockin’?
I thought Roderick Flemings’ gold TS Commander LT Adidas was going to be his kicks of choice for the season. But no, Rod has a surprise in store.
Flemings said he is waiting for his own “special order” to come in. “These shoes were just, uh, temporary,” Flemings said. “I got ’em over the summer (as a counselor at the adidas camp in Dallas). But you gotta wait to see the ones I’m going to wear this season.”
Can’t wait to see what Rod’s really gonna rock.
Some notes from the Bows first game. No names on the backs of jerseys. Interesting. Jeremy Lay looks like the second coming of Troy Bowe. Dwain Williams is a twig. Barring serious injuries, Hawaii can’t finish last in the WAC. Petras Balocka got to stop with those weak low post toss up shots. Rod was golden with 23 and 12 though against overmatched opponents. Hawaii’s missing that mid range game Bill Amis would have provided.
Will LeBron James Join the New York Knicks in 2010?
Even though LeBron shut down talk about his whereabouts for the 2010 season, just remember, kicks don’t lie.
Dwyane Wade is the Next Michael Jordan
At least in the basketball shoe industry. The Miami Heat’s Dwyane Wade has been named the Air Apparent to carry on the Air Jordan shoe line. After moving from Converse to Nike then to the Jordan Brand, Wade will debut the Air Jordan 2010 as early as Christmas.
The official release date of the 25th edition of the Air Jordans is February 13, 2010 and will cost $170.
