NIKE Air Max 90 Infrared 2010

theballatician — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 16:57:22 +0000

After I got a nice shave this morning at Julie’s Barbershop, I diiiiiiiiiiiiirectly headed over to Freebase Sneakers to cop the AM 90 Infrareds. Chrishimself and me were quite skeptic about how the Infrared color turns out. But I have to say, that the pics didn’t do it quite justice and that the shoes do look more infrared than on the pics, so I just post the one that turned out best and suggest to check them out in person.

I also got the limited shirt. SneakerbOb has more on the artworks by Snowden-Stratmann.

Now you see me. Now You Don’t.

“Dem Infrared shoes so sweet, let’s shrink-wrap the shirt like a piece of meat.” :)

Sneakerized has a list of shops for German-speaking countries, where you can find the AM 90 Infrared.

Tokyo Random Videodump

chrishimself — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 15:23:52 +0000

Heres a bunch of random clips from Tokyo that were leftover on my “old” camera before I sold it, I thought I would share some of those random clips with you, be warned these are really random.
I was shooting a mini vlogumentary (I made up that word docu x vlog) during my stay last August but due to technical issues I was not able to complete it yet (though some sequences are online on my youtube), since I upgraded to a new DSLR with video I decided to continue the “vlogumentary” with the new camera the next time I am in Tokyo.

NIKE Air Hoop Structure LE.

theballatician — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 22:20:37 +0000

I got me the NIKE Air Hoop Structure LE last year alreadyyy, but now it’s finally time to unpack and wear them.

The sneaker basically combines the NIKE Air Structure Triax with the sole of the Air Jordan VI, while maintaining a clean look. I don’t necessarily like all those fusion sneakers NIKE did in the recent past, but I love this one right here.

Originally, I thought about wearing them for my basketball games, but decided against it, as I found some dope basketball sneakers soon after. You’ll see them in one of my next posts.

God bless Azita & my new NIKE Air Maxim 1.

theballatician — Sun, 16 May 2010 09:20:42 +0000

Did you notice how Chrishimself’s posts all contained some cool art recently (proof here, here, here and here) and mine are all about material things (proof here and this very post)? But who would argue that sneakers aren’t art themselves, right?? Right??? So, here we go again, because I promised you more gear to be featured.

It’s already been a while now, since I stopped by AZITA and got me these NIKE Air Maxim 1 Torch+ ND to rock this summer, but summer’s still M.I.A.

Also have a look at their new store design. I think that definitely counts as art without any doubt!

On my way out, I was also handed a copy of the latest Sneakers Magazine, that contains a sneaker store guide for New York City (including our favortie NYC sneaker boutique atmos) besides many other interesting articles.

A pic like the last one also never hurts and that way I can be sure to have squeezed as much art into this post as I possibly could. ;-)

If you’d like to the visit the nice people from Azita, which you should, here’s all information needed:
AZITA Store, Münzgasse 10, Frankfurt, Germany – www.azitastore.com

My new obsession.

theballatician — Fri, 07 May 2010 08:46:05 +0000

I guess, that is the right expression for what’s going on with me and NIKE‘s Dunk. I already got myself three new pairs this year after I was able to not buy any shoes for almost the first three months of the year. All of them were not planned, as there are some other important releases this year. But, why not? Life’s short, right??

It all began with this NIKE Dunk Hi Nylon Premium, when I ordered it at KICKZ.com.

Only one day or so after, me and Amil went to the big sale at our local NIKE Stadium Store here in Frankfurt. Everything was off like 50% or something. I copped those right here. Some other Dunk Hi Premiums.

And to round it all out I ordered these Gucci Dunks, who officially go by the name of Nike SB Dunk Hi Premium Deep Forest/Paprika. Allegedly, these were the last pairs in size 12, that were still laying around somewhere at NIKE and I just love the colorway. Thx to Partizan.

Oh, and check out this box and the little details on the inside of it.

More new gear to be featured in the next days as I didn’t only limit myself to my new obsession.

Air Jordan Madness Infrared VI Pack

chrishimself — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 13:56:04 +0000

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.

Nike Zoom Kobe V x Bruce Lee

chrishimself — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 12:45:23 +0000

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.

chrishimself — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 14:25:58 +0000

Still looking for an all white Air Max Light ?
Look no further this is the Air Max Light “Snow White”, although I would be even more paranoid about my sneakers than I already am wearing those in the streets haha.

Bright Tradeshow 2010 #2

theballatician — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 12:19:43 +0000

Here’s the vid. Chris told you so!!!

I didn’t film too much with my new Kodak Zi-6, because I often just forgot to. There were so many booths to check out and we met and talked to some cool people, too. I just randomly walked into Flo, who designed our stickers, we got just in time for this weekend, so what you saw in the video was really the world premiere of our sticker. Of course, we talked to the always friendly people from A-Game, who distribute The Hundreds plus some more brands including Sixpack France & UNDRCRWN in Germany (Thanks for the dope stickers!). Also Chris from Beastin was mad beastin as we walked into him, while being nice to talk to. And we met Robert from Freebase Sneakers as well and got some updates. Stay tuned for those!!!

Anywayz I think it’s a nice little video including a classic opening and at the end a Swedish shoutout for Unbreakable, who all were also very cool to us.

It’s just sad to see the Bright Tradeshow move to Berlin now. As one exhibitor put it correctly: “Everyone can do Berlin, but not everyone can do Frankfurt.” Worrrrrrrd!!!

B-Diddy runs New York City.

theballatician — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 07:53:29 +0000

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!!!!
