After one wearing, it’s upper stiff and unyielding, and with BALLS carefully placed at the rear of both of my feet, I figured the Weapon EVO was Converse’s way of politely including me in some sort of dubious ethnographic experiment intended to poke fun at the profound level of homoeroticism in basketball.

As it turns out, the EVO is simply Converse’s premier TEAM basketball shoe for 2009, and not a marked attempt at challenging my heterosexual sensibilities with an unusually named cushioning system. The system I’m referring to is called BALLS, a collection of spherically-shaped polyurethane marbles that are designed to impart a high level of resilience with a low-profile, generally comfortable feel. Cons debuted the platform on the Weapon EVO, which coincidentally, also resurrects the Chevron and Star logo from the archives, an emblem that hearkens way, way, way back.

I hooped in the white/red joints. But before we get to my thoughts, I would like to thank Paul and Molly for a pair and delivering on all of the sketches! Thanks! Read More »

Hot… Adidas, Sneakers / Nov 5, 2009 / 3:06 am

If you know me, you know a good lowtop sneaker gets me all hot and bothered. And to speak with total candor, this Cut Creator Low from adidas in the Wizards colorway isn’t good, it’s dandy. I’m not sure what that claim means, but I feel compelled to make an inquiry about ‘em right now, nah mean?!

How are you feeling about the shoe?

Whilst strolling down 5th Avenue, expectant shoppers might encounter the timeless wares of some of Europe’s finest brands. K1X hails from Europe, and, last time I checked, could be described as ridiculously “fine”, so perhaps it’s fitting that our favorite German brand recently dropped their 5th Avenue Pack. Read More »

The PF Flyers Center Hi will be making its return to store shelves this upcoming Holiday season. Released in 1953, the canvas shoe was once a reliable favorite for ballplayers who tangoed on the parquet all along the eastern seaboard. Its playing days might be long behind it, but the Center was recently reintroduced with quilted uppers and textured mudguards, perfect combinations for your off the asphalt affairs.

I wrote this during Orlando’s run to the NBA Finals and my stance on the shoe’s design and technical specs hasn’t changed much. If you’re interested in copping a pair of the TS Commander LTs, hit up shopadidas.com. (They’ve got the illy team flavors, too!)

When Dwight Howard takes the court to do battle with the Boston Celtics this evening, he’ll be wearing the adidas TS Commander LT, Adi’s ’09-10 evolution of the reliable TS Commander. The LT was designed with the NBA’s finest “Commanders” in mind and will be sported by “Superman” Howard, Timmy D, and Kevin Garnett when the NBA season tips off next Fall.

Adidas and Eastbay have linked up to host an online video chat with reigning rookie of the year, Derrick Rose, tonight at 7 p.m. EST/6 p.m. CST.

Fans will have the opportunity to drop DRose a line and hear his responses at Eastbay.com/adidas.

The conversation merges with the release of adidas’ TS Cut Creator Mid and TechFit apparel, Derrick’s go-to gear for the upcoming season.

PRO-KEDS X BOBBITO: ROYAL FLASH RELEASE from PK09 on Vimeo.

In 1979, PRO-Keds released the Royal Flash model with the “Add-On Bottom” (as my Spanish Harlem a.k.a “El Barrio” sneaker crew back then would say). In my book Where’d You Get Those? New York City’s Sneaker Culture: 1960-1987 (Testify Books) I wrote: “The Royal Flash was the best combination of basketball performance and style that PRO-Keds ever made.” To celebrate the RF’s 30th anniversary, PK approached me to do a collab with them for the re-issue! Word!

Three suede colors–army jacket green, nugget gold, and spanish tile–will drop in stores Wednesday October 28th (the fourth flavor oxblood will be promo only). I’ll be appearing in the following spots on 10/28 to sign shoes, books, whatever:

12pm – Packer (New Jersey) 2pm – Rime (Brooklyn) 4pm – Goliath (Harlem) 5:30pm- Vault (Harlem) 7pm- West (Upper West Side)

Dante Ross and I built on the PRO-Ked collab and much more in the video above–we’ve been friends for 22 years!

THROWBACK!!!!!

The first time I saw these sneakers, I was in 10th grade reading a Slam Magazine during lunch, fell in love with them then and I still love ‘em. Who would have known six years later I would be an online writer at large for bouncemag.com? Now if only I can find a pair on Ebay.
