What got me kicked off of NikeTalk pt.1 The Shoe That Ruined My Life


The Penny Foamposite has always been a lost favorite of mine. Speaking I haven't own a pair since 03 I gave up on obtaining metallic blues but I am surely anticipated for eggplants next year. With that said keep in mind there is only one other Penny that I cant get over. The penny 2. Now this shoe hasn't been met any favorites with its new release this month but I am proud to say I am. After obtaining originals from 1996, the Orlando colorway has been yet again appealing to me. One of the most comfortable shoes I own to date and will always leave me story telling. I actually bought two pairs from Flightclub which somehow led to me being kicked of of NikeTalk.

For those who have the pleasure of own a pair of original shoes can vouch for me when I say It is just a match made in heaven. I hate to say it was worth it but it was definitely close. The monster mid guard, 3m lining and over sized tongue puts me in the right place at the right time.

Notorious09



"Ten years from now where do I wanna be?

I wanna be... just living man

Just living comfortably.

With my wife, Just laid back, just chilling.

You know what I'm saying, living

Where I think ill be, ten years

I don't think I'm going to see it dog, for real man

I don't think my luck is that good

I hope it is, but if it ain't

so be it, I'm ready"

Safely Safety!


I honestly thought and assume we wouldn't see allot of the Air Max 95 retro colorways after the footaction only release of the chili 95. After the Chili I swore I would not be satisfied unless Safety Oranges dropped and Infrared's were mine. I can now feel as if that dream is settling in for reality. The Safety Orange air max 95 will re release in the following summer months of 2009. This colorway has been long awaited since its return retro in 98' and is also more or less impossible to find this retro. Since then we have seen a premature orange colorway that held a white midsole and lighter grey accents which I actually preferred. This was dropped everywhere around 2005-2006. I can only remember the year by how many people had them in my sophomore year in high school. Although the new release of Safety's are dropping I am going to make it appointed on my self to find the white mid orange colorway. My search is on and my hopes are to obtain them before the release of the Safety in June.

Is It True..??




For the past two to three days there has been gossip everywhere of the newly linked pictures of the supposed Air Jordan 11 that will release in the Countdown pack this December. Now when I first came across these pictures something drove me as to think something was wrong. After finding out the pair listed was a youth size 7, it explained some doubt in my mind but not all. The patent leather looks off and the upper looks like a cheap canvas. Not to mention the laces looking reasonably thin and the jumpman facing the wrong way in one of the pictures, I am taking caution with these pictures. Most forum members are giving the pair the benefit of the doubt because they are youth size but I cannot settle for that. You can venture around web stores yourself but I will guarantee all you will find is the same pictures with different tags of each site they are now on. To remind all these pictures are not from a reliable source but from an Ebay auction in London with no pictures of the 12 or even the box. The style number inside the shoe does not match what is listed on Jordan's main site but yet youth sizes do not always match to the numbers. If they are in fact authentic I will be surprised and very much angry it took months for Jordan to ruin another classic.

P.S. Readers remember before you go to sleep to say your prayers for the Air Jordan 12.

KR 1love



I must say it has been quite a while that I can recall there being a Air Force 1 I have sought out for. The majority of the reason being is because of there lack of materials and colorways these past months. The last thing I can remember from Nike has to be the 1vote contest where 3 cities (Baltimore, Philadelphia, and NYC) chose out of 5000 colorways there favorite air force to re-release, and the 5 pair Canvas package a couple of months back. Something most of you didn't know is the recent drops of the 1world project. A multiple of Air Force 1's produced and designed by various artist of our day and age. Majority speaking why most of you haven't heard of such releases is because of its raise in retail price to $200 and its quality being produced and sold around the U.S. The list includes Rasheed Wallace, Questlove, Kaws, Big Boi (outcast) and Ladainian Tomlinson. Next in the line of fire is graffiti artist, KR. The 3m drip inspired shoe comes from the famous hard buff, drip, metallic KRINK ink. Especially used by the artist the shoe portrays the concept well and matches in the best color choices. There is also a black and blue colorways that will be given to friends and family of the inventor.
