This from UNDRCRWN’s Kari Cruz:

Haiti was hit by a second earthquake this morning (measuring 6.1) as the country reels from the devastating 7.0 earthquake only eight days ago. Last week’s quake killed an estimated 200,000 people, left 250,000 injured and made 1.5 million people homeless. Out of respect for those who have lost loved ones, their shelter and life’s basic necessities UNDRCRWN joins the rest of the world in grieving the tremendous losses to the people of Haiti.

Starting today, UNDRCRWN releases the “Assist Haiti” T-shirt for the Haiti Relief Effort. 100% OF THE PROCEEDS WILL BE DONATED to YELE HAITI which is the organization supported by Wyclef Jean. Throughout the week of January 20th through January 27th, UNDRCRWN will also be donating 5% of their total web sales to YELE HAITI. The shirts retail for $20 and are now available at UNDRCRWN’s digital shop

On a more personal note, I became fascinated with Haiti’s windswept Atlantic voodoo charm after reading a piece written by Mischa Berlinski about zombification in the country. I was considering a visit there this summer. I hope he’s alright. Here’s a link to the article: Into the Zombie Underworld.

December is the month that many sneakerheads adore. It means one thing: coveted Retro sneaker releases. It happens every time, Jordan Brand and others re-release classics so that Santa can make many ball players and sneaker aficionados happy. I personally love the idea of Retros; I can save my OG’s and not worry about air bubbles busting, leather peeling, or viewing yellowed soles with sloppy glue marks from prehistoric sneaker technology. With all the new releases in 2009, a quarter of the NBA and professional players still wears Retros, showcasing their popularity on and off the court.

On December 19th, Jordan Brand is re-releasing the Jordan XII in the white/varsity red colorway. Reebok this month also re-released The Question in its original white/red colorway. Anybody remember? I’ll give you a hint: Lower East Scribe posted a picture of this epic match-up a few days ago. Ah yes, these two sneakers highlight one of the most pivotal match-ups between Jordan and the young whippersnapper A.I. The question I ask today is simple: What would you buy?

Show some love to Lower East Scribe and his recent article. You can view it HERE.

The Questions.

It’s personally fitting to me that Allen Iverson’s first shoe is called the Question, because ever since he’s been in the league I’ve had to ask myself one: do I love him or do I hate him?

Last week, I was walking to the train, knocking Lil’ Wayne’s Tha Mobb on my iPod and asking myself what makes me love A.I.? Before I could finish my thoughts, Weezy’s lyrics gave me the answer I was searching for.

“Hold court with the apes/I’m a gorilla but lighter/got the, eye of the tiger/the heart of a fighter…” Read More »

This past fall marked the inaugural season of the vitaminTHICK Flying Squirrels in the top-level men’s league at Basketball City Boston.

Currently the Flying Squirrels are auctioning off vitaminTHICK jerseys, vitaminTHICK t-shirts, and Jordans as a package on eBay. There are two auctions up currently so bid before it’s too late!

If there were a starting five for basketball kicks, the Reebok Pumps would be the perfect power forward. They’re sleek enough to run the floor but eye-catchingly powerful, like a body-to-body banger on some unworthy opponent.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of The Pump, Reebok teamed up with Sneaker giants like A-Life, Bodega and atmos, to release new designs for the iconic classics on Nov. 20.
