AIR JORDAN 5 PREMIO BIN 23

The Air Jordan 5 Premio is by far the best model in the BIN 23 series. The shoe features Premium black leather and icy soles. I'll admit that I didn't like them at first but once I got them in hand I quickly changed my mind.

The Black premium leather is so buttery!

Heels feature BIN 23 stamp

2011 NBA ALL STAR LOS ANGELES SNEAKER RECAP

Los Fearless was the Nike theme for the All Star weekend

  
Outside Nike Santa Monica

The 2011 NBA All Star weekend in Los Angeles exceeded my expectations. It was definitely a sneakerhead's dream with all the releases and events going on. Not only was the NBA Jam Session taking place, but Nike and Footlocker had numerous events all across Los Angeles which made it impossible to attend them all. Player appearances and limited shoe releases were at the top of the list for most.

It was a great event hosted by Footlocker House of Hoops at Beverly Center. I was privileged to be close to the front and saw two of NBA's great players. Thank you @FLUnlocked !!!


Now onto the kicks!

AIR JORDAN 2011 YEAR OF THE RABBIT

Introducing the Air Jordan 2011 "Year of the Rabbit"

This weekend will mark the release of yet another Jordan model. The 2011 edition has some unique features including the interchangeable insoles. Be Quick or Be explosive, which one are you? If you are into packaging then you will not be disappointed. The shoebox is not your normal box, it's more like a gift box. A white and black colorway is set to come out as well.

SUPERBOWL SUNDAY

Who you got in today's big game? I'm torn because I like both teams. I've followed both teams closely since the early 1990's when the Raiders and Rams left Los Angeles. I guess if I had to pick one, I'll go with the Black and Yellow.
