The Air Jordan 11 “Ultimate Gift of Flight” Demands More Dollars Than The Entire Pack
This statement goes back to the days of the Countdown Pack. We’ll admit that many of us bought the two-pair packs for one shoe and one shoe only (Carmines, Black/Cements, etc.), and given the nature of the Ultimate Gift of Flight, it’s likely that the Air Jordan 11s will command over the $500 retail price of the entire pack.
Kyrie Irving Debuts the next Nike Signature shoe
That event will happen tonight, and we can confirm that Kyrie will indeed break out the shoe for the first time during the December 4 game against the New York Knicks.
A clear view of the adidas YEEZi
A grainy photo on an airplane and what appears to be a black pair on his feet is all we have to work with so far, but expect these to leak in a more viewable format this month.
Nike celebrates LeBron James’ Golden Birthday
A Golden Birthday occurs just once in a person’s lifetime, and likely before he hits his thirties. A Golden Birthday is when a person’s new age coincides with the person’s day of birth, and for LeBron, that will go down on December 30th, 2014.
Debut of the Jordan M11
A quiet headline this month will be the debut of Carmelo Anthony’s 11th signature shoe. He will join Michael Jordan, LeBron James, and Derek Jeter as the only Nike/Jordan athletes with double-digit signature shoes.
First Peek at NBA All-Star Footwear
The hoopla around the upcoming 2015 NBA All-Star Game will be a lot more impactful than it has been in previous years, and the sole reason for that is because the main events are taking place in NYC. adidas just unveiled the All-Star gear, so what’s to say that we won’t see what the players will be wearing?
