Most of us got our paycheck yesterday. Now here’s my question- how long will that paycheck last with all the sic drops we’re having? From Hideout’s drops to 5-0 and WeLegendary’s SBs, and now the rest of the Nikes for the month? I dropped by the Nike store by Greenbelt 5 and saw these performance pairs  worth your hard earned dineros.

AJ12 “Flu Game”. I was never a fan of the Jordan 12s. Even with the Rising Suns dropping a few weeks back, they never really grew on me. Now, these AJ12s, are dubbed as the Flu Game Jordans. Way back in ’97, MJ made a mistake of eating some bad pizza before game 5 of the NBA Finals against the Jazz. It could’ve been some die hard Jazz fans’ version of Celtic Pride for all we know. MJ wasn’t in any shape to play but he had to what he had to do. Jordan pulled through and had one of the best games ever in Finals History. 38 points. Game winner. Nuff said. This version of the shoe he wore has the 97-sick face-38 on the heel as well as on the tongue. Pretty nice touch.

Cradle Rock Low Steve Nash PE Away. A few posts back we featured the Cradle Rock Low Home PEs for Steve Nash. Here’s the Road/Away version. Not bad right? Now when will the Philippine version drop?

Nike Hyperize Decades Pack “Infrared”. A few months back, right around the same time the White Men Can’t Jump Pack came out that they were going to release the Decades Pack for the Hyperize. This, I believe, is the first of the pack. This is inspired by the AM 90 Infrareds. The others of the pack are the Safaris, AM95 and the Foamposite, all classics of the Nike family. I’m still waiting on my Infrareds (wherever they may be), but for now, this will do.

and the rest. Nice releases but didn’t strike me all that much from the get go. A new colorway for the Trainer 1s, another Kobe IV colorway, a St.Vincent/St.Mary’s colorway for the LBJ Ambassador IIs, Zoom BB3s, and Jordan Phat Lows. These pairs should be available all around the metro and possibly some Nike stores in the province. So yes, choose wisely. and enjoy your cops.

There were a couple of inquiries regarding the Cradle Low. I’m not quite sure though if Steve Nash is actually wearing them on court this season (he should be but I haven’t really noticed). Pretty decent right? The purple swoosh and heel tab as well as the orange ringlets add a nice Suns touch to the all-whiter.  The Nash symbol is also at the back, just so you know who rocks these pair before everyone else. To me , they look like a mix of the Dunk and the LeBron VI. Well, that’s just me. I’ll harp on these if there were other colors available in town (RP colorway, are you there?).

Oh, I’ve seen this pair on both Nike Rockwell or Nike GB5. I’m sure this is also available at BHS and Trinoma.

Thanks to my cousin for keeping me tabs with what the players will be wearing for the coming season. Up and coming guard Aaron Brooks of the Houston Rockets will be rocking the Nike Cradle Rock Low this season. For those who aren’t familiar with the former Oregon alum, Brooks torched the Lakers a couple of times during them Playoffs when Tmac and Yao went MIA on their asses. Actually, these kicks came out a month or two ago, and they were supposed to come out with an Asia Pack (with Philippines also in the mix). Nike Phils, what gives? Will we get to rock the Cradle Rock?

The shoe actually looks like a modern-day Nike Dunk. So we all know what that means- they’re street worthy! For more details on the shoe, its got a leather upper with a pillow stitched heel for cushioning and a versatile lacing system for a custom fit. There’s a full-length drop in the PU midsole for a cushioned ride. The outsole features flex grooves cutting throughout the PU midsole and outsole for better transition (in short, it’s supposed to be good for you).

I sure hope these come out for the start of the season. I need a new low top for the court.
