Tez McClain – Jordans & A Gold Chain (& Playmates).

theballatician — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 15:38:16 +0000

No explanation needed.

But what’s still missing here along some Jordans after a lost job (check @chrishimself84′s post from yesterday for that) and now the gold chain, are some chicks, right??

Some time ago, I read about Playboy’s plans to rank the Top 23 Air Jordans. Obviously, I was looking forward to it and the pics are, uhm, quite nice, but as a sneakerhead I would’ve liked the J’s on the Playmates’ feet or somewhere “in the picture”. The way they did it now, it could have also been someone at home behind his Photoshop putting a picture of an Air Jordan and a Playmate together. Or do you think they really used some big ass J’s in size 256 for this photo shoot?? Me don’t think so…

Only pic where it goes along pretty well in my opinion is that one for the Jordan VII, because the Playmate seems to have the laces in her hands.

If you are still hyped or just wanna see some naked women, you can check out the whole Solemate feature on Playboy’s website. If you pay at least $4.95 that is!

Gilbert Arenas is the true Sneaker Champ.

theballatician — Tue, 03 May 2011 13:10:52 +0000

I have really been a Gilbert Arenas fan since his days as a Golden State Warrior, as soon as I read a story about him growing up under harsh circumstances, namely sleeping for a period of time in the car of his dad, about him not getting any respect, when he entered college and made it to the NBA (thus choosing the number 0, because that’s the amount of minutes that “everyone” thought he would get). He even felt he was so bad (WHILE HE WAS ALREADY AN NBA PLAYER!), that he joined a local church league in San Francisco. Until the Warriors got word of it, of course. Then in his Wizard days he hit a whole array of incredible buzzer beaters with his not-to-be-destroyed confidence, he also had his super entertaining blog on NBA.com, his own adidas signature sneakers and so on.

Then came the troubles in the last few years culminating in a gun incident, and so he entered the season without a shoe deal, but that way he was able to rock whatever dope kicks he wanted to. This included lots of J’s (like the Space Jams pictured below) and even a pair of Dolce&Gabbana shoes in a game against the Lakers.

That’s the biggest dream for a sneaker head to showcase them at that stage, so even if his team got eliminated from the Playoffs, this makes him the ultimate SNEAKER CHAMP. That’s also his twitter name by the way: @thesneakerchamp and it’s all about the sneakers!!! You can also check which sneakers he wore for every game during the 2010-2011 NBA season on this site. Also SLAMonline.com has a nice gallery here.

And all of this really makes him someone to absolutely cheer for. At least to me.

WOOD WOOD x ellesse @Market41.

theballatician — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 13:50:02 +0000

With the weather being quite nice right now, I decided to go to the river Main, that flows through Frankfurt (therefore: FrankFurt am Main => FFM and so on…). While most of the people hang out at the river in the city, it is also really beautiful out here in Höchst, where I currently live. So don’t tell me I didn’t tell you!!! You got no more excuses. :)

But the real beautiful thing in my eyes are the shirt and the sweater by WOOD WOOD x ellesse, don’t you agree??? I coped them at Market41 last week. Limited to 1000 pieces each. And needless to say that I need to buy nearly everything with an A on it.

This is my favorite spot in Höchst!! I spent every day there last summer. They are open until Oct 3rd this year and will open again next year in April or something:
Alte Schiffsmeldestelle – Batterie, Frankfurt-Höchst – www.schiffsmeldestelle.eu

And yeah, had to get the “regular” WOOD WOOD shirt as well.

In front of our château.

Holla at me, if you happen to be around Höchst :)

This year is incredible so far for Jordan Brand with all the different retro releases like the oreos, motorsports, AJKO’s etc. but this one is really a must buy.

There has been alot of rumors around the web but now I think its official that Jordan Brand will release an Air Jordan VI Infrared Pack for June 2010.

UNDRCRWN x Space Jam Jordans.

theballatician — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 13:00:09 +0000

After I got the Air Jordan XI Space Jams back in December, I just had to get this sweatshirt by UNDRCRWN, which is inspired by the sneakers. So here’s what the astronaut looks like with the real shoes.

And the original design.

The Official Brand for CHAMPIONS.

UNDRCRWN has many nice basketball related items – plus other great stuff – and already a few years ago now, they did this collaboration with adidas on the Gil Zero. I love Gil and I love those shoes. Only after I wanted to send some information on them to Chrishimself recently, I found out that they are even limited to 750 pairs worldwide.

You feel like walking on the hardwood.

Apparently, this player card should be included with the shoes, but I guess mine was lost somewhere in between. Meaning, someone at the customs station stole it!

Please read this card carefully, because the last two sentences are as true as ever today. I am really pulling for Arenas to get back on the right track.

Hello, it’s the Martian, Space Jam Jordans – Air Jordan XI Space Jam.

theballatician — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 02:23:28 +0000

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).

Andi / @IAMGANDINO

Hurry up and get yourself some new styles.

theballatician — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 16:48:33 +0000

The G.O.A.T.

theballatician — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 00:01:40 +0000

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.

Jordans at Foot Locker.

theballatician — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 20:49:42 +0000

Hey everybody,

I got the news, that the Air Jordan 60 + will be available today at Foot Locker. So I went on my way to the gym and found those three pairs, that were not there last week. They also have the Air Jordan 3 True Blue now, that Chrishimself and me got last week already via Snipes, and the Air Jordan Force 4.

Air Jordan 3 True Blue Retros

chrishimself — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 19:25:45 +0000

I think by now everyone knows what the heat of the month is, its not only hot outside – no! – these pair of shoes on your feet are burning! The new retro release by Jordan Brand the Air Jordan 3 True Blue colorway is in my opinion one of the best Jordan colorways out there. The weird thing was that this release was not even planned for the US market, that means we in Europe for once have something that was released just for the international market haha ^^. My co-blogger Andi, a real big Jordan collector, got himself some extra to put on deadstock thats how much he likes them =) (And Jordan Brand/Nike will like him too lol ;-))

Check out more pictures after the read more link!.

This one is a little bonus!
