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 113: My NBA All-Star Weekend - D.Rose signing, Pictures, & More! (Events)

All was crackin this past weekend with NBA All-Star Weekend happening in Los Angeles, CA this year.

Since last Thursday, there have been so many NBA players making live appearances for the fans all over the place from the Fox Hills Mall, 3rd Street in Santa Monica, the Beverly Center, and more. There were also mad club parties each night hosted by various NBA players and so many celebs/rappers everywhere making special appearances too, but I wasn't able to get access to any of those parties so boo... =(

My one highlight of the weekend was that I did get to see one of my favorite NBA players, Derrick Rose. I got real lucky when I got to see him because the day before his appearance I found out that you needed a wristband to see him. They only handed out 150 of those wristbands and luckily I got one of them.. I waited 2 hours to get that wristband but it was so worth it.

I didn't have a jersey for him to sign so I got the next best thing.. his new shoes: the Adidas Adizero Rose 1.5. Freakin awesome bball shoes btw! I got pics below:


I got a few more pictures in my album right here (mostly just sneakers & displays):

NBA All-Star Weekend: Los Angeles

Lastly, I just want to say the best part of NBA All-Star Weekend wasn't the NBA player appearances, totally not the exciting dunk contest Blake Griffin owned, and not even the All-Star game itself. The best part was actually the half-time performance by Rihanna! (I hope you know I'm being sarcastic but Rihanna did have an awesome performance tho, haha!)

In case you missed it, I got it right here:



DROOOOOL ;)

Day 92: Kobe taking "The Black Mamba" to Hollywood (Video)

It looks like Kobe Bryant aka "The Black Mamba" is taking his game & his nickname to the next level... HollywoOod!

Well, sorta-not really.. I just heard that Nike is collaborating with Kobe and creating some sort of short movie set to be released during the 2011 NBA All-Star Game, which is happening on Feb 18-21 in Los Angeles, CA. I guess this would seem fitting knowing that Kobe plays for the Los Angeles Lakers and is also leading in all-star votes as of today. What better way to represent for your city and do something "extraordinary" for your fans than make a movie, right?

I'm pretty sure this movie is all really to help promote Kobe's recent shoe that came out called the Zoom Kobe VI, but at least it should be more entertaining than D. Wade's "D3" commercials.

We'll have to wait until the 2011 NBA All-Star weekend to see how this movie turns out. If more development comes out in the meantime then I'll be sure to keep ya'll posted.

Day 81: "Quick Can't Be Caught" with CP3 & his new shoe (Videos)

- Don't blink because this commercial goes by quick!

If you're familiar with the recent "Fast Don't Lie" commercials (I did post them before.. hello!) by Adidas featuring Derrick Rose then you'll understand how the Jordan Brand (by Nike) is trying to one-up their competition with the "Quick Can't be Caught" commercials featuring Chris Paul.

In this new series of "quick" commercials, Chris Paul is promoting his new signature shoe called the CP3.IV which look pretty dope. If you haven't seen the shoe yet then check them out below:


- More pictures & info about the shoe can be found at: Dimemag.com

I actually own a pair of the original CP3's but I've worn them out so much playing bball that I may have to retire them soon. These were my most favorite shoes to play in (granted they were my only "real" bball shoes before; thanks Dex!) as it had such a nice soft cushion with every step I took and made me feel light on my feet. The only thing I didn't like was how it looked but as you can see the CP3.IV's are 10x more awesome now.

Any shoe fanatics out there? I think I'm becoming one as I'm starting to like shoes just as much as I like music & food. Since living here in Los Angeles, I've gone out more often than before to check out the different local shoe shops in the area and I've even been out to a few sneaker events. To add onto that, my roommate (aka Shimp-deezy) is big on shoes so he kind of got me into it too.

My shoe obsession is growing so I may branch out my blog a bit and start posting up any cool shoes I find (bball, casual, any type of shoe). I think it's time to get myself an xmas present =D
