Sneaker March Madness.

For those of you, that can’t get enough of March Madness (by the way, you can watch the games here for free) or those that may not be interested at all, there is a Sneaker March Madness going on at SneakerNews.com.

march madness sneakers round 2 300x200 Sneaker March Madness.

Round 1 is already completed and many choices were obvious. The only hard decision for me was between the Air Jordan V and Air Jordan VI. Even though I don’t own any VI’s yet, I went with them because of the Infrared Pack, that is said to be dropping this year, but the V’s survived the first round. But I can’t believe the Air Max 90′s didn’t make it to the second round. Biggest upset in my opinion. And about the AF1′s I honestly didn’t care, because I don’t do AF1′s.

So, here are my choices in bold for Round 2, as they become much more harder:

DUNK SB
MATCHUP #1: [1] PIGEON vs. [4] HEINEKEN

I also really like the Heineken one, but I don’t think the shoe made it to CBS news.
MATCHUP #2: [2] TIFFANY vs. [3] SUPREME LOW
No brainer for me.

NIKE CLASSICS
> MATCHUP #1: [1] AIR MAX 1 vs. [5] AIR FOAMPOSITE ONE

After landing the biggest upset in Round 1, the Foamposite One cannot continue its Cinderella Story. 
> MATCHUP #2: [2] AIR TRAINER 1 vs. [3] AIR MAX 95

I also gotta go with the Air Trainer 1 here, because that’s probably the shoe most people outside the sneaker scene approched me about. Not saying they all were sane, though.

AIR FORCE 1
> MATCHUP #1: [1] STASH vs. [4] WHITE ON WHITE
> MATCHUP #2: [2] PLAYSTATION vs. [6] KAWS

Don’t really care, but I’m rooting for the underdogs here. White on white is just classic and KAWS is KAWS.

AIR JORDAN
> MATCHUP #1: [1] AIR JORDAN III vs. [4] AIR JORDAN V
I rock the III’s every other day, so they get the nod, but I might underestimate the V’s again.
> MATCHUP #2: [2] AIR JORDAN XI vs. [3] AIR JORDAN IV
No matter how much I like my black/red IV’s, it’s the Space Jam Jordans after all, you know?

What are your choices?

Aaaaand…. did you realize these were all NIKE kicks?!??

P.S.: They even have some BAPE stuff listed in their online store.

Does anybody know of other releases of those sneakers in Germany???

(UPDATE – 17:20: Overkill Shop in Berlin will get the DJ AM Dunk “within the next days”.)

And since I began this post with SoHo, New York, I’m gonna end this post with SoHo New York. Here’s itsbongoboy‘s video from the pre sale of the pack at NIKE SB’s 21 Mercer Street store. Had to laugh out lout on two intances.
