Do You Know Do You Know Do You Know?

Yep. You’re reading and seeing it right. Last Wednesday these dropped. Not exactly on display but word around is that it’s on display at other Nike stores around town. Most likely they’re on display now. Haven’t been to a Nike store since then. But yes, do you know do you know do you know? This is like the umpteenth version of the Jordan Spiz’ike. This is the Fresh since ’85-Mars cw. If you scope out the colorway and the style, they definitely have AJ3s color down, well except for the blue lace chamber or eyelet at the top. Well, they do have his Airness’ look well it also has Spike Lee’s sneaker persona Mars Blackmon’s name on it. There’s also a MARS  lacelock that’s not available on all the Spiz’ikes. There’s also the famous MB statement printed on the lining as well as on the  paper in the box. These should be out already, though some online stores have it out or should be out by the end of January.

Another shoe that made it’s debut before the 2010 ball dropped are the CP3 IIIs. Among all of Chris Paul’s kicks, these take the cake. Among the three releases so far, these are the most aesthetically pleasing to the eye. For once, they actually resemble a decent shoe. The first 2 were, well, uhmmm.. weird. Though they looked great due to Paul’s great gameplay. I’ve seen the other colorways and they’re all tight. So you better cop all the ones that land on our shores, including this one. Let the 1s and 2s die a slow death at the bargain bins.

The next two drops are for the ladies. I’m not an AF1 fan but I believe it’s my duty to post them here. First and foremost, they’re not that bad. Most of the shoe’s lined with leopard (or giraffe) or safari spots. Though I never hopped on the safari print all season long, these are  tolerable. The other shoe here is the Dunk Lo. I guess everyone’s bleeding purple by now. I know it’s the new it color so this is definitely here to complement to your wardrobe. The White/Grey/Purple cw works so you should, too.

Here are the Dunk His I mentioned on the previous post. See, they’re also available here. The Lows are also available but you’ll just have to take my word for it. I like the reds as they do remind me of the OG Jordan 1s. Neat, plain and simple. Just how kicks should be. A lot of people don’t get it though. Anyways, less Dunks for me for 2010.

Trainers. Trainers. Trainers. I’ve seen ‘em on the net and I’m sure you’ll see more of ‘em in 2010. The Trainer 1s pretty cool and here’s another colorway to add to the collection. I’m not sure if it’s a Laker colorway (esp with Pinas being an extension of LA) or the Vikings with football season still in play. But they’re gravy right? The low top Trainer 1 here is the Trainer 1 SL. The third Pacquiao Trainer were done in this mold. Flywire technology’s available on both and expect them to be on a lot pars moving forward. The last shoe below is the Lunar Kayoss.  Again, Nike Phils is harping on the Pinoys love for KB24. The Kayoss is a training shoe containing the Lunarlite foam as well as flywire, a mix we’ll definitely see in the new year alongside the Torch Technology. Another highlight of this shoe is the heel. Does it look familiar? Got that right, those rubberized heel supports were on the Huaraches of yore. Now, get yours. It’s a pretty nifty shoe to have at the gym. It’s supposed to handle the most intense of workouts. Nike PI, I’m willing to take these bad boys for a ride!

So there you have it. Those are the Nike drops I have so far. Got word from the boys that there are a bunch of Nike Basketball PEs now available. I’ll go check it out soon enough. I’ve yet to share with you guys my Macau/HK trip. Soon! Promise!
