The brand UNDRCRWN will release an amazing collaboration mixing Basketball with Martial Arts.
On the 15th of April they will start releasing a capsule collection of carricature Bruce Lee T-shirts and sweatshirts, as a fan of both Basketball and Bruce Lee I think this will be a must cop for me ^^.
These will be availible online via UNDRCRWN

Inspired by the suit that Bruce Lee wears in Game of Death and the scratch known from Enter the Dragon Nike comes out with this new release of the Zoom Kobe V.
I especially like the promoshots that Nike designed with Kobe Bryant resembling the oldschool Bruce Lee movie posters.

I’ll admit, that during my day-to-day-life I don’t get to watch or read the news stories very often, and that also this is not the original theme of this blog, but what has happened earlier this month to people in Haiti is nothing short of heart shattering. CNN has five 360° videos on the current situation here.
Haiti may be a place that’s far, far away for you, but also people from your community could be directly affected by this tragedy. I found out, that the family of two basketball players, who play for MTV Kronberg (close to Frankfurt) has lost six of their family members, including three kids. I don’t know David or Dominik personally, but I was interested in their story, because I do know some other players of that team and attend their games quite often.
Their dad went back to Haiti – shortly after visiting his family there for Christmas – to assist people in need as a doctor. Their adoptive brother from New York immediately took a flight to the Dominican Republic to supply the family with water, food and medicine. That’s what family is about. I think, we all can learn something from that.
You can read more by clicking these links (in German):
I know times are tough for everyone, but we cannot compare what’s going on to the people of Haiti, that already went through so much, but still were happy people and in the right direction with their country. So on behalf of the Duclervil family I ask you to show your support accordingly to your possibilities – it is still needed. Here’s how:
I think this post is now long enough and y’all know what to do, so I just leave you with some wise words on this subject by Jay Smooth.

It seems like you can’t escape New York. And you may not escape Chinese brand Li-Ning in the near future, as they already signed NBA players Shaquille O’Neal, Baron Davis and Jose Calderon. But the honor of premiering the first Chinese brand on an NBA court belongs to Damon Jones, who was with the Cleveland Cavaliers at that time.
This is an awesome video of Baron Davis running through New York City along with his basketball. I remember that he tweeted all the time during this day and let people know where he’s gonna be. So, you may follow him (@Baron_Davis), but you can follow his beard (@boomsbeard) as well. Also some msic artists are featured in this video. Common shows some nice handles, while Jim Jones is BAAALLLLLLIIIIINNNNGGGGGGGG!!!!

P.S.: BOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!
Got some new Nike Dunks in the so called varsity red colorway, classic, nothing too fancy.
Cant wait to wear these this spring when all the snow is gone.
Theres also a varsity blue colorway availible.
You can get them via EndClothing from the UK and I think you can also find them at Frontlines Nike Store aswell.

After seeing the Air Jordan XI Space Jams on the internets for so long now and even already about a week ago on the feet of a player of the opposing team, I am now holding my own pair in my hands. This is exactly the color way of this shoe that Michael Jordan wore in the movie Space Jam (please check out this incredibly old school website!!!).
I wasn’t really big on this release (just ask Chrishimself – by the way, I took his tweet for the headline), but this morning in the train, I came to the conclusion, that I had to take my chance on these, since I also was able to get them before the announced realease date of December, 23. And I can only encourage you to hurry up as I got the feeling, that my size (US12) is nearly out of stock in Germany alreadyyyy. I’m also really looking forward to the next release that will hopefully be the Silver Anniversary ones celebrating 25 years of Air Jordans.
Family.
That makes two pairs, so I need to find two suitable girls for a poster like this. Y’all know how to reach me.
Or maybe I’ll just buy it from OSNEAKER.COM (limited to 500 pieces).

Have been looking to get this Air Jordan DMP VII package since it came out but thought I would push them back awhile until they are on sale or until I can get the “Raptors” colorway only, for a reasonable price. Well today, more or less by accident, I found the Air Jordan DMP VII Pack on 50% sale and I just couldnt pass on that.
The Air Jordan VII DMP package comes in this huge box similar to all the other DMP packs.
A shot of the two colorways included in the Air Jordan DMP 7 package.
I especially like the “Raptors” colorway the shoes got the nickname when the Toronto Raptors joined the NBA in 95 and had a similar jersey colorway, the design on the sole looks very nice imho.
Probably selling the Orlando Magic inspired colorway, anyone looking for US11 ?

First of all, I’m sorry this post is heavily delayed. I had a very nice surprise visit, but here we go.
Not only does today mark the release day of KiD CuDi’s first album, it’s also the day Michael Jordan, Air, MJ, #23, The G.O.A.T. is enshrined into the Basketball Hall of Fame just in these moments.
Nike has put together a nice timeline, titled ‘History of Flight‘, for MJ’s career, also presenting his shoes throughout the years – from the Air Jordan I to the Air Jordan 2009.
Of course all his championships, the Olympics 1992, all the milestones are covered and you are able to watch 23 videos of special moments, while there is also some interesting information you might not know yet. A fact, that I obviously like very much, is that MJ had to play one game in a jersey with #12, because his jersey had been stolen (check the heart you see above). You also get to know about the inspiration behind some of the Air Jordan shoes. Surprisingly, I learned that the Air Jordan XI (11) was inspired by a lawnmover – OK, a well designed one after all, but still -, a shoe that moved on to be one of the hottest sneakers out there. I saw a pair on sale for 1,200 Dollars in Tokyo a few weeks ago. So, go ahead and do whatever you like with that information.
Congrats to MJ, even though it maybe considered a formality, and thanks to Flo for the heads up.

Please check this new NIKE commercial for the Nike Hyperize, in which some NBA players turn into rappers (a thing that not always went, uhhhm, well…)
THE HYPERIZERS
Mo Williams a.k.a. Fog Raw
Kevin Durant a.k.a. Velvet Hoops
Rashard Lewis a.k.a. Ice-O
Andre Igoudala a.k.a. Chief Blocka
So, who has the best rapper alias??? My favorite is Velvet Hoops.
And this of course has to be my favorite colorway of the Hyperize.

Wow the Nike Air Jordan 5 Raging Bull was released earlier in Europe and its sold seperately and not as a pack, since I wasnt really that much into the red suede colorway I was happy to see that I can buy the 3M design off the nike online store and save some money.
Well for me wintertime could finally turn to springtime, I’m not the biggest fan of the cold and the snow and all that. It doesnt mean that I dont enjoy if everything looks white and covered with snow, it has something very calming to it especially if you walk around at night in the snow and all you can hear are your footsteps going into the snow.
We were on the way to a friend to watch the NBA allstar game, which was by the way kinda lame I must say, and I brought along my Canon 450D. I wanted to take a testshot on the street and stood there for a second to take a shot and reset something on the whitebalance when the cops pulled up from behind haha. Read the rest of this entry »
