As you may have heard LeBron James has been mentioning that he plans to retire his #23 next year in honor of Michael Jordan. LeBron personally feels that Jordan’s number should of been retired due to the fact he believes MJ is the greatest athlete the NBA has ever seen. Since the NBA didn’t retire Jordan’s number, even after he was inducted into the Hall of Fame earlier this year, LeBron has been saying he’s going to retire his own number 23 and do something the NBA should of done from the get go. If he sticks to his guns LeBron will take the court next year in wearing #6, the number he wore during the 2008 Olympics.

The other day on All-Access MJ gave Ahmad Rashad a call to wish him a happy birthday and during their brief conversation Ahmad asked Jordan what his opinion was about LeBron James saying he is going to retire his number in Michael honor.

SpineTV: Bodega Reebok Pump20

Joe — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 12:35:55 +0000

The crew from SpineTV have launched their brand new website and along with the slew of videos comes this video of Jay Gordon, co-founder of Bodega. The short little interview has been put together to talk a bit about the upcoming Bodega x Reebok Pump ‘Outback’ which the shop has designed as part of the Reebok Pump 20th Anniversary Collection. Towards the end of the video, Jay informs us that theres a whole concept to go along with the shoes, something that many of us are aware of at this time. We arent quite sure exactly what he means by that but judging by the video, and the way Marvin Burnall (a designer at Bodega) cut his sentence short, we are led to believe this video was filmed before we caught our first previews of the Bodega x Reebok Pump and that Jay and Marvin were just tryin to conseal its colorway in this video and the fact the sneakers come in an metal ammo case.

Whatever the case my be check out the video above.

Jordan ‘Break To Build’ Commercial

Jordan Brand has released a new commercial as part of their Become Legendary series. The latest commercial is titled Break to Build and has sort of caused somewhat of an argument through the YouTube comment section. Towards the end of the commercial, 0:54 to be exact, Dwayne Wade can clearly been seen wearing wearing a warm-up jacket with an adidas three-stripe logo. Its a known fact adidas is the supplier of NBA uniforms but you would think Jordan Brand would of done something to cover up the adidas logo shown in full focus. It has obviously caught the eye of enough people for the comments section to spark a massive list of remarks.

Check out the video for yourself above features Dwayne Wade, Derek Jeter and other Jordan Brand athletes.

Joe — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 14:11:47 +0000

Due to the unfortunate event of the passing of my father (RIP) some of our special weekly segments had been put on hold for a few weeks, such as the Saturday Morning Commercials. Now that I have finally started to get things in order I am pleased to present you with a brand new series of commercials to bring back and get Saturday Morning Commercials going again.

Yesterday I presented you with the Colette x Reebok Pump, one of twenty sneakers being designed to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the Reebok Pump. In tribute to the Pump I have put together the Reebok Pump Series for this segment of Saturday Morning Commercials. The series features a total of nine commercials, seven of which are part of the Pump Up and Air Out campaign which featured athletes such as Dennis Rodman, Dominique Wilkins, Boomer Esiason, Bill Walton and Dave Johnson. Greg Norman, the legendary golfer is also featured in one of the videos with a pair of Reebok Pump golf shoes and athletes such as Wilkins and Doc Rivers with coaches such as Pat Riley and Bryon Scott appear in another video. As an added bonus to go along with these Reebok Pump Up and Air Out commercials we have also included a few more Reebok Pump commercials.

Official Barack Obama Basketball Sneakers

Joe — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 01:24:17 +0000

Mitchell Rose, a Brooklyn, NY resident is looking to change the footwear industry like Barack Obama changed politics (Quote curiosity of NBC). The former New York Golden Goves boxer has been on the grind for the past couple of months with a brand new hustle, pushing what he calls the official Barack Obama basketball sneakers.

Mitchell says Obama’s love and passion for the game of basketball inspired him to design and actually produce the Barack Obama basketball sneakers which he feels even the President himself would rock. The shoes obviously takes a few design cues from Nike and Jordan Brand. An Air Jordan 9 mid-sole can clearly been seen on high top sneakers along with a silhouette of Obama (which glows in the dark) placed on the side of the upper which reminds of a Chuck Taylor patch or the branding usually found on an And1 sneaker. The shoe lace holders on the upper are made up to look like boxing gloves cause according to Mitchell Rose Barack Obama is a “fighter the way he beat up Hilliary Clinton and Senator McCain.” 44 is printed on the tongue of the sneakers to represent Obama being the 44th present and Obama is printed across the heel of the sneakers.

We’re gonna leave our personal comments to the side on these as there is enough hate already being spread about them all over the web. Click here to check out a video of Mitchell Rose talking about the sneakers as well as a clip of Ghostface and Ed Lover cracking jokes on the sneakers. If your at all interested in ordering the sneakers check out Rose Knockout Products.

Maestro Knows visits the Nike Campus

Joe — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 13:32:38 +0000

We havent posted many of the webisodes from Maestro Knows in the past, eventhough we watch them ourselves, but Episode 9 from Season 2 is something i think all of you will enjoy. Maestro was recently out in Portland to do some work and while he was out there he met up with Jared, a designer for Nike apparel who gave him an exclusive tour of the Nike Campus and allowed him to customize the Nike AW77 Fleece. Needless to say, the Nike Campus is insane. The view is beautiful and the layout of the land and the buildings which occupy the land is something else. We dont wanna give the whole video away so just check out the video above. Its a good watch, believe me, Maestro does got quality editing for a video filmed entirely with him holding a hand-held camera and hes ques in the music perfectly.

And for the record, that smile on Maestro’s face is like his signature smile. Whenever you see this guy hes always smiling. Just happy to be doing what hes doing and enjoying life.
