The one-man Fury traveling team, Darren “DJ” Jiang of Battlegrounds fame and now part of the Nike team, came back to NY on Tuesday to help oversee the opening of Nike’s new space in Harlem. When not acting as Lebron and Kobe’s personal translator in China, DJ drops in from time to time and gets a game in with us. And, he ALWAYS has on the latest from Nike

Unfortunately, I’m no sneakerhead by any stretch and shame on me, I’m an embarrassment to Bob especially. I didn’t even get good shots of the kicks. In the game, DJ wore a pair of new, Carolina Blue pre-release Nike Hyperfuse, the latest incarnation of the Hypderdunk line, set to launch at the World Basketball Festival in August.

But, DJ told me later those weren’t even the hot kicks, he wore the Kobe Aston Martin’s TO the game. I had to look it up. $550 sneakers limited edition… I’m the furthest thing from a sneakerhead you can find but those were some real pretty shoes and I sound like Carrie Bradshaw now.

Fury vs. Watch Out is on tonight… it’s the “Asian Dream Team” vs. Roman “El Regalo” Perez, Nacho Martin and friends… 8:30pm @ MLK HS. Should be a good one.
