Lay-Up Line: Cheesecake …Gobble, Gobble!
In case you haven’t peeped my bio lately, my new a.k.a. is “Cheesecake.” While the true origins of my new nickname run deep within the annals of Bounce lore, my game is sweet and luscious much like the dessert, so this live performance of Louis Armstrong’s ‘67 hit Cheesecake gets me particularly pumped in the […]
Ball ‘N Bite (Wisconsin Edition)
Growing up, my mom taught us to avoid gas station food at all times. Presumably, the fill-up houses would employ spotty preparation methods, fail to check expiration dates, or not adhere to the strict dietary health code.

Nike Air Uptempo ‘07–Penny Hardaway Player Sample
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been an archetypal night owl. And of course, this proves to be quite healthy for my “work life”, as I stay up late writing stories and posting images for both Bounce and Sole Collector. Today however (which will be last […]
First Look: LeBron Friends & Family Soldier II
Sole Collector offered up this first viewing of the Friends & Family LeBron Soldier II that’s done up in a demure black/graphite/black colorway with a lasered upper panel that coincides with Bron’s appearance in the ’08 Beijing Olympics. And while there’s no word to where or how many pairs of the shoe will release, I’ll […]
