Day 248: Nike "Flight Night" Event at the Montalban Rooftop (Events)

- Dunk of the night by a d00d name "TRUE"

2-25-12 (Hollywood, CA) - I had nothing better to do Saturday evening, so I went to check out this Nike "Flight Night" event with my homie Rex4000. It was a chill event full of shoe displays, a live 3pt shooting and dunk contest (in light of NBA All-Star Weekend), and a performance with some LA natives, Casey Veggies and Dom Kennedy.

It was a cool performance but it didn't seem like a performance at the same time. Felt more like an audition because it was just Casey & Dom up there with their DJ (Drewbyrd), but all n all it was still dope.

More coverage and a video of Dom & Casey performing "CDC" right here >>> UNCVR

Day 197: Sports are baaack... AGAIN! Footlocker x Nike bring back "Educators" v2

Now that football is underway, I can officially say that my sport is BAAACK! (still got love for basketball too) Well, it's preseason now but I'm still really excited. In the words of Bart Scott, "CAN'T WAIT!!" for the season to begin..

I noticed that the timing of these "Educator" commercials start right when school is about to begin, which aligns up perfectly with the theme of the commercial. Footlocker & Nike did the same thing last year, and I even posted that one up here:

Day 6: Sports are Baaack

I gotta say this is a great sports ad campaign and the creative people behind it did a good job planning it. #kudos

Day 135: Sports x Music Meet - Cool New Nike x Foot Locker Commercial (Video)

- Athletes featured: Amar'e Stoudemire, Chris Bosh, DeSean Jackson

I saw this cool Foot Locker & Nike commercial from a friend so I just had to share it with everybody =)

It's got a real fresh & laid back feel to it with alot of cartoon graphics making it fun at the same time. This commercial also gives off a #hipster vibe too with the background music provided by the Cool Kids.. overall #prettycool

I want some new shoes now! lol! Props to my homie S-dot-Diddy for showing me this.

... if you can already tell, yes, I've joined the Twitter trend. I added a widget on the side if you care to follow.. ever since I got my new smart phone, I've been sucked in a whole new world =X

Day 46: What "should" Lebron do? - New Nike Commercial (Video)

Ever since Lebron James decided to join the Miami Heat during this offseason, he's been negatively criticized by his fans, the media, and just about everybody & their mamas talking about what he "should" have done.

With that said, this new Nike commercial with Lebron puts a stop to all the offseason thoughts & madness he's been going through as he just wants to stay focused on the upcoming season of NBA basketball. Nice timing right before the season starts, right?


- This isn't about what LeBron James has done, or hasn't done. This is about the difference between the expectations others may have of him versus the expectations he has of himself. What should he do? The answer is a question. 

We'll have to see if Lebron can stay focused for his first game tonight as a Miami Heat as he goes up against the top team to beat in the Eastern Conference, the Boston Celtics. I like both teams so I don't know who to root for, but if I were to bet then I'd put my $ on BOSTON! Go C's!!!

MIA @ BOS - 7:30PM EST on TNT

Day 25: New "BOOM" Commercials by Nike

I just saw these new Nike "BOOM" commercials over the weekend (mostly during the NYJ vs MIA game), which I believe are a part of a new ad campaign that will be going on for a while. Some of the ads are kinda cool, but the one with Rick Ross is like.. eh? Wtf is he doin on a nike commercial buying a chain? Sneakers would of made more sense...

Anyways, here some of the "Boom" ads:

Boom: Rick Ross 


Boom: Tailor


Boom: Cano & Bo


Boom: High School Football


Boom: Drumline


I'm sure new ones will be unveiling throughout the next few weeks, so I'll keep you posted on that when they come out.

Day 6: "Sports are Baaack"

- The Educators


First day of September.. you know what that means? Sports are just around the corner! I'm talking about the "REAL" sports aka Football & Basketball. Here are the start dates to keep in mind:

• NFL: Kicking off next Thursday, 9/09, with the Minnesota Vikings vs the New Orleans Saints, which should be a very action-packed game to watch
• NBA: Beginning their regular season on Tuesday, 10/26, and the game to watch that day will be the Miami Heat vs the Boston Celtics (battle of the new vs the old!)

Of course, what better brands to hype up basketball/football are no other than Foot Locker & Nike. As you saw above, Nike & Foot Locker just created some sik commercials with top athletes in both sports including Justin Tuck, DeSean Jackson, Amare Stoudemire, and Rajon Rondo. Sanya Richards, who is a track & field athlete, is also in the mix too. 

If you don't get pumped after watching these commercials then there's something wrong with you.  Check out the series of commercials below (missing Rondo's commercial, but when it's out I'll post that up):

- Pop Quiz


- Field Trip


- Dunkography
