Kicks We Love: Nike Air Jordan 1 x A Tribe Called Quest

We have always always partial to a fresh pair of sneakers and Nike's long-tuning Air Jordan series, are always on point to deliver something fresh. While stumbling around the Internet, I came across these original Air Jordan 1 designs, but these ones have been patterned from the infamous A Tribe Called Quest album, "The Low End Theory". While these shoes are not new by any means, it was the first time I had come across them and my jaw dropped to the floor. I mean seriously, how fresh are these kicks??

They are also EXTREMELY LIMITED and very hard to find. So you better search on eBay or specialty shops online. I am going to do that right meow....

Special Thanks: Nike, Michael Jordan, A Tribe Called Quest and always staying fly

KICKS #6 : NIKE Barkley Posite Max "Suns"

For those of you out there who might have forgot that Charles Barkley had one of the most

dominant post games of all time, this post is for you.

Over the past few years, Charles and his hilarious quotes, outlooks and observations about basketball have helped make quite a name for himself on NBA on TNT.

But long ago, Sir Charles had some other powerful words for all of us haters out there:

I am not a role model.

In honor of the famous commercial that made us all wonder "what the hell is Chuck talking about",

here it is in all of it's glory.

 

 

Fast forward to 2013.

NIKE and their insane design team have been re-releasing and recreating some amazing

shoes that no one in their right mind would ever play ball in, but would definitely

turn the sneaker heads out there.

Enter the NIKE Barkley Posite Max "Suns" Edition.

Real recognize real. Enjoy.

 

 

 

 



 

Special thanks to: Charles Barkley's huge ass down on the block that would knock any huge NBA player out of the way, Charles Barkley's gambling problems, Charles Barkley telling us all "anything less, would be uncivilized", Every time Charles Barkley calls someone a knucklehead or says that something is "terrible", Charles Barkley's amazing ability to make us laugh during the NBA season, Sir Charles, Chuck, CB... Respect.

Special Thanks to: Growing up idolizing Michael Jordan, Feeling like my dog died when Jordan retired for the last time, Not wanting Kobe Bryant to be the successor to my idolized Jordan, not knowing who I wanted to consider my favorite player in the game, Just by chance catching the 2006 NBA Eastern Conference Finals when Lebron James unleashed his fury on the Detroit Pistons, by scoring 30 un-answered points in the fourth quarter to win the game, not only solidifying the fact that Lebron is the real deal, the "heir apparent" to Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant, but ruining the Detroit Pistons franchise for the next ten years, knowing that Lebron James is going to be in the conversation of the NBA Finals for the next 10 years, the fact that Lebron James is a hybrid of Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant.
