Some other sneaker notes from All-Star weekend

Some other sneaker notes from All-Star weekend
Props to Michael Cooper and Lisa Leslie for lacing up the nike shoes Think Pink Hyperdunks this weekend…He may be the most un-gangster guy to have played ball in the 』80s, but it was somehow appropriate to see Bill Laimbeer in white-on-white Air Force 1 lows…Nominee nike shoes for Most Shafted By His Sneaker Company: Yao Ming. The big man wore his Reebok Omni Hex Ride on Sunday. The same Omni Hex he wears every time he gets on the court. No Phoenix-themed colorways, no nothing. Reebok took care of AI; they couldn』t make moves for Yao?…How cool were nike shoes the All-Star socks? The red (West) and blue (East) coloring up to the All-Star logo was a nice touch by the L.
Finally, I wanted to say something about the on-court debut of the Air Jordan 2K9. After the sendoff that the Air Jordan XX3 had (I saw a guy wearing a pair of the limited edition first release XX3』s on the beach this past week), the 2K9 seems to be falling short as Replica watches it branches out on its own. I saw the 2K9 in person just today and my mental jury is still out on it. I think the brand needs to look at a few things before they release the 2K10, or whatever they』ll call soccer jerseys the next one. First, they need to get it under a marquee player or two (Melo, CP3 maybe) to put a face to it. Second, Jordan Brand needs to get back to releasing this shoe in the fall at the start of the basketball season. That lets a lot more kids pick up the shoes and wear them through their own seasons and attach their own memories to it.
Lastly, the price tag needs to come men's watches down. 190 bucks? During a recession? Come on, man. I liked Ray Allen』s and Mike Bibby』s the best. They should have released one of those two as the general release.
