Air Jordan 25th Anniversary T-Shirts

Joe — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 00:32:15 +0000

One of the biggest advantages to Jordan Brand coming about in 1997 was the fact it allowed Michael Jordan to build an empire around much more then just sneakers. Athletic apparel and sporting accessories were all eventually introduced under the Jordan Brand umbrella, as were articles of clothing such as hoodies, jackets and hats.

As many company’s do these days, the Brand started producing specially designed t-shirts to accompany certain releases, giving those who bought the sneakers the option of scooping up the perfect tee to match. With 25years of Air Jordan history and Jordan Brand being extremely excited about their 25th Anniversary Collection, they’ve put together a lineup of t-shirts to match the shoes in the lineup.

We aren’t quite sure if the t-shirts will be US bound, although we hope so, but we do know they’ll become available on March 20th at Nike Harajuku. Don’t hold out on us JB, the Air Jordan heads in the States need these!

Unusual G.e.N.e.S. “Stay Flippin Pennys” Tee

Joe — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 01:59:49 +0000

The highly anticipated releases in the game have been known to inspire people. From artist’s displaying their love for a certain sneaker in the form of a drawing, painting or a digital design, to streetwear brand’s who counter the releases with specially designed t-shirts to coordinate with the sneakers. The Copper Foamposites are one of those very shoes. They’ve caused numerous brands to brainstorm and work up designs in which consumers rock with their kicks, and with the Copper Foams being a sneaker which a lot of people have said is hard to match something with, it’s probably a good thing tees to match them keep popping up.

We’ve taken a look at a few designs in the past and here we have anything known as the “Stay Flippin Pennys” by Unusual G.e.N.e.S.. Available in black, and in sizes medium through 3XL at Vault, the t-shirt consists of a Mickey Mouse like hand/glove flipping pennys with the message “Stay Flipping Pennys” printed in white and copper lettering.

If you’re still looking for something to rock with your Nike Air Foamposite One Copper’s consider the “Stay Flippin Pennys” tee by Unusual G.e.N.e.S. which is once again available at Vault.

Glow-In-The-Dark Copper & Eggplant Foamposite Tees by Giggs

Joe — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 04:11:37 +0000

The Copper and Eggplant Foamposites get people as excited, if not more excited then any other sneaker, maybe even more so then the Space Jams. We’ve seen a few t-shirts so far dedicated to the Foams and now Giggs, real name Nick, has presented us with a look at some custom tees he put together to honor two of his favorite sneakers. The t-shirts, which consists of a Black base feature a large Penny logo painted on the front with either a Metallic Copper color filling in the logo or an Metallic Eggplant. A touch of Grey glow in the dark paint outlines the logo and takes on a Teal glow at night breathing all new life into the shirt. Giggs tells us he used that shade of color around the logo to resemble the icey clear outsole on the Foams.

The photo above obviously only displays the glow in the dark feature so make sure you click here to check out photos of both shirts. There’s also a shot of a personal tee which Giggs did for himself which uses a carbon fiber outline around the logo. If you’re interested in either of the two you can get em now through Giggs’ eBay store for $30 a pop.

Press Release — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 16:17:52 +0000

We present to you six Collaborations spawned from Nike Sportswear’s desire to celebrate the beautiful game of football in a way that connects to the national team fans who dwell at the intersection of sports and culture. In 2006, Nike collaborated with a group of artists to curate and design environments and spaces that represented their countries, but there was no product connection to this partnerships. This year, Nike worked with established and emerging artists from six countries to create alternative National Team Kits that flip the script on the classic football kit.

Each collaboration includes a N98 Track Jacket, AW 77 hoodie, tees for men and women and polo shirts also for both men and women. Each kit also includes a selection of Nike Sportswear footwear coordinated with the apparel. In addition to a team-color customized Nike LunarLite Rejuven8 Mid and Air Max BW Gen II, additional silhouettes such as Air Zoom Tiempo, Dunk High AC, Air Footscape Freemotion and Nike LunarLite Chukka Woven have been selected to provide plenty of options to express team pride.

Nike Sportswear x James Jarvis England Team Kit

While British graphic artist James Jarvis is best known for his playful illustrations and contributions to the designer toy phenomenon, he takes his sports seriously. At first glance, his interpretation of the England crest stays true to the national archetype, but up close the designs are all Jarvis: his heraldic lion flashing a trademark googly-eyed grin. Jarvis drew from medieval woodblock prints for inspiration, and the “10” on the chest is traditionally reserved for the most beautiful players of the game.

Nike “Lil Dez” T-Shirts

Joe — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 04:02:15 +0000

Nike has previously released Puppet Kobe and Puppet LeBron t-shirts paying homage to their viral MVPuppets campaign, including a line designed in collaboration with UNDFTD. While these two characters are defiantly the main focus point of the series it’s the little tyke LiL’ Dez, voiced by Bobb’e J. Thompson, who sometimes steals the show and gets us laughing. Nike’s honored the loud, noisy and sometimes annoying LiL’ Dez with his very own Big Nike High and T-Shirt back in 2009 and this year they’ve released another Lil Dez t-shirt for all the fans out there. Unlike the shirt released in ‘09 which featured a complete image of LiL’ Dez this new t-shirt consists of just a head shot of LiL’ Dez which his name and Nike Swoosh printed below the graphic. Two color options are available, one with a white base and red lettering and the other with a purple base and yellow lettering.

If your interested both are available now in-store at select Nike retailers and online through CitySole in sizes Medium through XXL for a price of $30.

Fallen Star “Dynamic Duo” T-Shirt

Joe — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 03:25:58 +0000

Throughout the history of the NBA there’s been some great duos who ran the courts during they’re time together. Kareem and Magic, Larry Bird and Kevin McHale, The Mailman and John Stockton, Willis Reed and Walt Fraizer, Penny and SHAQ, Jordan and Pippen. And that’s just to name a few off the top of my head. Once on they’re way to being among one of the greatest duos while playing together on the Minnesota Timberwolves was Kevin Garnett and Stephon Marbury. During the 96/97 NBA season KG and Marbury we’re running the courts in they’re division but unfortunately Stephon suffered a few shoulder and knee injuries throughout the year and they’re run together became limited.

To honor what could of been a great thing Fallen Stars has released the “Dynamic Duo” T-Shirt featuring a graphic of both KG and Marbury in they’re Timberwolves jerserys. Dynamic Duo is printed above the image in bold lettering with 1996-1997 – Teen Wolves printed alongside the image. Colors options available include the Freshwaster Blue version shown above and white and black versions both pictured after the jump.

If your interested in picking up the Fallen Star “Dynamic Duo” T-Shirt you can grab one now through Corporate.

Jordan Brand “Your J’s” T-Shirt

Joe — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 17:39:43 +0000

While Wheaties may be the breakfast of champions it’s clear that Air Jordans are the kicks of champions. Or atleast that’s the message being displayed here on the “Your J’s” T-Shirt produced by Jordan Brand. Printed across the front of the shirt is the message “Better Get Your J’s” with the tagline “The Kicks Of Champions” printed just below it. Just above the text is a Jumpman logo which in my opinion looks a little out of place. Neither here nor there though this t-shirt is still pretty fresh and with a choice of four color options you can defiantly match it up with a few of the J’s in your collection.

For those who are interested you can get the “Your J’s” t-shirt now through Eastbay in sizes M-XXXL for a price of $28. Just do a quick search for “Your J’s Tee” if you can’t find em on the Eastbay website.
