It's 2010 let's get it together!!!!

15 years ago you asked what the future would be like many would say flying cars and hovercrafts but now in the year 2010 we can't even get a decent cellphone case. I mean where is the originality everything is a copy of a copy branded with a different logo or brand name. It sickens me to tell you the truth. Oh, and the flip side the kicks aren't much better 15 years after the foamposite made it's original debut it is still the most advanced shoe on this planet, WTF, is that about. The best selling shies are not the ones that release a model every year like the air max line. No the best sellers are RETROS shoes from when me and you, yo mama and yo cousin too were all in middle school. Thus sad fact is unbelievable and has lead to the premature end of this blog and possible of my sneaker collecting days. I just can't see why we are so far behind the only real advancement we've made is the touchscreen smart phone, is that enough are we done now. Should we just pack it in and continue to settle for this. As a sneakerfiend I am always on the hunt for that next pair looking for that rare pair to set me apart from the pack but no more I'm done. Until shoe companies step their game up I'll keep my Ben Franks till they grow gray hair. Same goes for you iPhone case makers come up with something new please. People are walking around with the hottest phone out right now and all they have to choose from are some glittery hello kitty snap on back cases. Unacceptable. I'm done.

ALL SPACE-JAMMED OUT

As all of you may or may not know today marked the release of arguably this years hottest JB release. That's right the famous Space Jam Jordan made infamous of course by His Airness and the movie Space Jam. Let me just say that hype or no hype this is a very nice shoe top to icy sole, and apparently I'm not the only person who thought so. My local spot opened at 7:AM today. I, thinking I'd get a jump on things, decided to get there a little early. I arrived @ 6:30 and to my surprise there was a line of about 35 people standing outside. I thought about leaving and coming back later seeing as how I was only buying for the kids and had gotten mine reserved a week before. But I thought wow this is the first and probably the last time I will ever stand on line for a pair of kicks. So I did. All in all the two hour wait was pleasant security and the early morning mall walkers with the occasional hello. Sharing stories about releases past with fellow sneaker-fiends, it was quite an experience. More than anything though this was a chance to see love and pure devotion, weather it was a gift for a loved one or for themselves everyone of us around 55 total all stood patiently and waited for our little peice of history. Neadless to say NOT EVERYONE GOT A PAIR BUT the love runs deep, deeper than anyone who isn't a sneakerhead will ever know.

ONCE AGAIN BACK IT'S THE INCREDIBLE

The incredible Air Jordan IX that is. Set to release in summer of 2010 this colorway is sure to become an instant classic, but wait there's more! The "powders" are also releasing in 2010 as you may recall we got a teaser this summer in the form of an Air Force Jordan hybrid. IX's, VI's, AND II's next year is shaping up to be big so start saving now.

NIKE ZOOM KOBE V (5) ID

As we all know it's around this time every year that our favorite NBA superstars hit us with their latest kicks. Whether it's during all-star weekend or after the first of the year, the back half of the season is loaded with new shoes. One new shoe that should be on everyones radar will drop a little early in the form of a NikeID product. The date 12/25/2009 to be exact, you are even allowed to customize your shoe now and save your design for later. The cost will be $165 a little steep but for a one of a kind shoe not a very bad deal.

VIDEO RECORDER COMES TO IPHONE

Hot off the presses the Apple app store has just approved the first real video recorder for the Iphone. Ivideo Camera works with both first gen and 3G models it is said to record at a frame rate of 3 frames per second and only records about a minute of video. The app which will set you back a full .99 is not a bad start. Plus the folks over at Laan Labs have already promised an update is in the works and will be available soon. So hit up the App store download it and let the rest of us know what you think.

AIR MAX LEBRON VII CHRISTMAS EDITION

More shots of the Air Max LeBron VII Xmas quickstrike have surfaced. The shoe which has a black to red gradient that extends onto the visible air sole and is finished with a black outsole. The insole of the kicks features a black and white image of what looks like to be a young ‘Bron-Bron’ playing with a ball and basketball hoop he received for Christmas. The shoes are sold out already at Marqueesole, these are sure to become a holy grail. info via kicksonfire.com

KOBE AND LEBRON AIR FORCE 1'S (youth)

The Kobe pair features the Kobe sheath on the side and the number 24 on the tongue.

The Lebron pair features the LBJ 23 logo on the side and the King James lion head on the tongue.

Keeping with the theme of the whole Kobe and Lebron thing I found two very sharp Air Force 1's. Done up in each players team colors with a few personal touches these shoes are on point and just in time for the new Kobe & Lebron Nike campaign. As of now I think these are only out in kid's sizes but should be widely available.
