Air Jordan 10 "Chicago" Unboxing

The guys over at Nice Kicks just posted up an “unboxing” video showing off the Retro X’s in the coveted Chicago colorway. These drop this coming Saturday.

Crowd Breaks Door Off Hinges to Get at New Jordans

Arguably one of the biggest shoe releases of late, the Air Jordan 11 Retro “Concord” drop this morning incited nationwide riots across much of the U.S. as thousands flocked to local malls and boutiques to stake their claim. Bringing to mind oddly familiar and chilling memories of the Pigeon Dunk riots in New York, the commotion surrounding the day’s release was a rather unexpected series of events for many. Reports have already began hitting news feeds shedding light on Indiana-area mobs tearing down mall doors, hundreds trampling over one another at Seattle-based Finish Line locations and disgruntled shoppers rioting against police. I've even heard some people are being murdered and large crowds are being pepper sprayed. I mean the shoes are dope... but is it REALLY that serious????  While the Concord’s are certainly a shoe to be desired, not only for their aesthetics but equally for the historic importance it has played in both sport and sneaker culture, the degree of the reaction is surprising given the shoe’s previous Retro availability and this year’s distribution. Although never justified, rioting and violence can be somewhat expected when distribution is limited to a 200-pair production run circa 2005. But, then again, it is hard to argue against the 11’s platform and widespread regard as one of the most favorited and recognizable sneakers to the Jordan brand. How do you feel about the Jordan 11 Concord riots and were you surprised to see such a tumultuous release?

Air Jordan IV 2012 White/Cement Grey Retro Preview

Although several previews have surfaced over the last few weeks, we’re finally given a clearer look into the upcoming white/cement grey retro of the Air Jordan IV. Arguably one of the more anticipated releases of 2012, this return will feature most of the same characteristics that made the original – and initial retro in 1999 – such a success, aside from a darker shade of grey and Jumpman heel detail. Stay tuned for a closer look once a release date nears.

Air Jordan VII “Bordeaux”

An official retro drop the  for the month of April 2011 from Jordan Brand. The highly anticipated retro of the Air Jordan VII “Bordeaux” looks to drop April 16 via participating retailers. Priced at $150 USD, the kicks remain largely intact from the originals with minor changes throughout. Black nubuck and light graphite dominates the upper while Bordeaux accents make their presence felt on the Jumpman. 

To us, these specific colorway are top 5 greatest Jordan of All Time! some of the reasons being; the ashy black, contrastinhg with the jet black is my flow from the get go! that ashy grey allows for Raw denim use, distressed light denim, fatigue, green fatigue, (you see where im going with this) the colorful – but not bright colors on the tounge pop it off, and that dry cran lower part of the tounge. Those who went to the Chip Concert saw him rockin these EARLY. Even tweeted us about it..

"i'm tryna get my Jordan game back"

And for those who do not remember exactly how popular these were or are trying to remember exactly when Jordan wore these.. Here's a throwback for you the 1991 Michael Jackson Jam Video where MJ made a guest appearance. If you notice around the 5:23 mark All the kids dancing and playing basketball are rockin the shoes too.. even Kris Kross!

The Street Evol's Top Ten NBA Shoes of ALL TIME!

THE TOP TEN NBA SHOES 
OF ALL TIME!







In no particular order....





Nike Air Pippen. You wouldn’t think YOUR shoe would be in demand if you played next to The Greatest basketball player of all time. But these sure were! Pippen was one of the best small forwards to ever play the game. His role on the Bulls many championship seasons will never go unnoticed.  It changed the game with what is called the “Pippen effect” or the “sidekick effect” … You know, the Reason Lebron left Cleveland?! (i.e Shaq/Kobe,  Kobe/Gasol, Olajuwon/Drexler,  Malone/ Stockton ..etc You get the Idea!)Maybe that’s why these shoes were so popular…

 “On the real though” look at them… these shoes sold themselves!

The Adidas Conductor. A.K.A The “Patrick Ewing’s” These drove New York City CRAZY! Ewing never won a championship but one thing he did was place himself in the record books as one of the best big men in the game.  These shoes did the same in the shoe game!

The Nike Air Max Sensation. These debuted in 1995 they were Chris Webber’s signature shoe.  And boy did he BALL in these! Chris Weber made his impact on the game with his smooth passing and ability to run the floor with the best of them.

The Nike Air Penny II.  *SIGH* These just take me back! Penny Hardaway made an impact early in his career with his running mate Shaq. With their fast pace game and good defense they were very hard to stop but came very shy of a championship. But Seriously, how can you not love the 1Cent logo and the commercials of Chris Rock  as Lil Penny?? CLASSIC!

Michael "AIR" Jordan's’Nuff Said!  From Jordan’s First shoe to his last  EVERYONE rocked them and still rock them even today. From Old and young, male and female, on and off the court, Air Jordan's were and still are Nike's top shoe line. He was the Greatest and his shoe game was serious due to many moments etched in  our minds like these..

The Converse Aero Jam. “It’s gotta be the shoes!” Larry Johnson really took his game to the boards, with his alter ego “Grand MaMa”.  Converse gave him his own Signature shoe and with the success of Grand Mama that was a VERY good idea. Below is the Debut Video of “Grand MaMA”….

Nike Air Force 1 "Rasheed Wallace".Worn by the likes of Moses Malone as the low tops in the older NBA days. Rasheed Wallace brought them back rocked them from Day one. He even made them more popular by creating the High top version.  Rasheed  also gave us tons of attitude with every game! Being known as a “walking technical Foul” with his relentless rebounding he became an elite player gaining a title during his career. Rasheed joined Jordan as the only other person to have a silhouette on their shoes.

Nike Air Max CB 2. Charles Barkley………………where do we begin? This undersized forward made a huge mark throughout his career with his physical playing style and that will always give the 6’8 guys hope. Chuck’s Nike “I am not a role model” Campaign pissed parents off. The more it pissed parents off the more the shoe sold!

Fila Grant Hill 2. These put FILA on the basketball shoe map. Grant Hill was one of the smoothest wingmen in the game hands down.  His Duke education showed on the court. Even though he was supposed to be “The next Jordan” He still had a Prosperous Career, with many endorsements as the poster boy for newer companies like FILA and Sprite.

And here’s a little something  just to take y’all back a lil bit.. lol

The Reebok Pump. These were very popular in the late 80’s early 90s. They rivaled Nike very well and the success led to models for football, tennis, and track. They were Dominique Wilkins Signature shoe. Since he was dubbed the human Highlight reel, he was the poster boy for them along with some other coaches you might recognize..

HONARABLE MENTION










Reebok Kamikaze II Shawn Kemp's signature shoe. He took the court in 95 wearing these and had arguably his best season, averaging a double double.

The Nike Air Shake Ndestrukt. The Signature shoe of Dennis Rodman. These had a very Unique design, but then again so did Dennis Rodman...lol








If you are lucky you might be able to catch a pair of these shoes at Sole Classics! They are located in Columbus's Short North Arts District, on High St. Just a few blocks north of Downtown. You can also visit their website at www.Soleclassics.com

& As always...
