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.

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.

What’s Rod Rockin’?

Whoa! Will UH forward, Roderick Flemings, be the golden child of the WAC this season? Just what is he rockin’ in this picture in the Honolulu Advertiser?

Last season, the Golden Rod donned rainbow-hued Undercrown special editions. This year he’s got the Adidas Nation TS Commander LT in gold. These are supposedly a limited edition run with only 200 pairs made available on EastBay or to those who played in the under-18 Adidas Nations’ basketball tournament.

Whatever Rod wears, let’s hope they translate to UH wins.  Season starts Friday.  Go Bows!

Celebrity Thursday

, , , , ,

After experiencing [re]think Hawaii and TEDxHonolulu, life treated me to a few celebrity sightings. First, there was Olena Heu who looked dashing in purple while shopping at Costco. Then there was yet another Jorge Garcia sighting at a Farmer’s Market. I saw him buying fresh vegetables as I was driving in, but by the time I got to the market, he was gone. I know Internet law says “pictures or it didn’t happen” but sorry, you have to trust me on these.

I do have a picture of this “celebrity” who, while working at the Farmer’s Market, was rocking some rare Tiffany Diamond Dunks!!

Wearing Diamond Dunks

That, people, is celebrity status!

Spotted at Ala Moana

What did I spot at Ala Moana this past weekend?  How about this $175 Juicy bag for a grandmother?

Not your thing? How about some Nike Lunarglides?

And in case you forget, here’s a shirt to remind you.

Every Damn Day

Awesome (and expensive) Star Wars Lego.

Star Wars Lego

And Legos are cool! Just ask Naveen Andrews aka Sayid on LOST who picked up some kits.  Yes, that is really him.  I recognize him from the last time.  And no, I didn’t want to bug him for a picture during his family time in a crowded toy store full of people.

And as I was leaving while eating a wicked Haagen-Dazs Dazzler, I saw this tweet.

Just Some Magazine Covers

, , ,

SLAM’s annual Kicks issue is out. Derrick Rose is rocking his Adidas on the cover, but for me, the return of the And1 Tai Chi is way cooler. Get your kicks fix now.

Slam Kicks

The Star Bulletin preview of this year’s UH football team has this great spoof of the Macworld magazine. Yep, it’s Mackworld with Head Coach Greg McMackin on the cover. Got to love the computer themed titles.

And lest you forget, Mack 2.0 is more sensitive and understanding.
