With the hoops season quickly approaching, my people at Eastbay have hooked up the features and specs for the 2009 Basketball Shoe line up. Growing up with Eastbay, I always knew they had a ton of colors and different models but to see thousands of shoes come through the door is an amazing thing. Playing hoops as a kid, it was always cool to see all the kicks Eastbay would offer year to year, so keep reading for a look at the line up of 2009 Nike Basketball Shoes. Read More »

Seven months ago I wrote about the Air Jordan 1 brought back to life. Reviving Original Air Jordans is something I’ve done for almost seven years. This time around I tackled a pair of 18 year old September Blue Air Jordan VI. I put several hours into these between cleaning and restoring.

One of the greatest silhouettes and best Nike shoes of all time, Air Force Ones, are available at Eastbay. I’d like to share some interesting colorways that caught my eye.

Anfernee Hardaway was a beast in the ’90s. He dominated at Memphis State (now Memphis) and for the Orlando Magic along side Shaq. He also teamed up with Lil’ Penny to do multiple Nike commercials, making him a celebrity in the basketball world. Next to Air Jordans, the Air Penny signature line remains one of the most loved, even though he has been out of the league for a few years. Nike has retroed the third model in the Penny series and you can get them at Eastbay. Check out both colorways of the Air Penny III

Colorway inspired by the Grey Nurse Fighter Plane, you can get these AJF 5 Premier Dark Army/Midnight Navy/Soft Grey at Eastbay. This is my personal favorite colorway of the Fusion 5. You can see the clear inspiration for this colorway was the Sharktooth design on the Grey Nurse Fighter Plane.

Every year when All Star weekend rolls around, my focus becomes the footwear on the players’ feet.
