Air Jordan 'Raptors' 7

Of course they had to name these Jordans after our great and elite basketball team the Raptors. So what if the best player(Vince Carter) we ever had bailed out on us? We're gonna see the playoffs logo one day at The ACC. For now let us enjoy these beautiful Raptor 7's that hit the shelves Saturday. You already know what it is if you're gonna go footlocker or champs, set that alarm clock to 9:00 a.m. baby OR you can pre-order them from a few sneaker boutiques around the city. I personally only fuck with Ugly Duk' ling at 4 Edward St. (corner of Yonge & Dundas).

Disciplines

Generic Surplus and Obey present 'Disciplines', A short film set in Los Angeles about photographer and bassist for the Dum Dum Girls, Malia James, DJ/Producer, Gaslamp Killer and artisit/skateboarder, Gareth Stehr. They share their stories of how they came together and brought together their artistic and creative talents to collaborate with Obey. Discussing their journey took to turn their passion into a profession. DOPE shoes and a extremely successful collabo, I'm not sure if these would be on sale here in Toronto but I'm pretty sure they should hit the shelves if they aren't already there. Here is the video and the collaboration collection.

Nike Lebron X

First off I can't wait for the NBA playoffs next season just to see what new jokes they're gonna come up with about Lebron because the ringless ones are over. While King James became a member of the championship club this NBA season, he also went to work this summer along with the rest of the NBA superstars that destroyed  any sort of opponent in there way (where the hell was the Canadian team man?). He also got a gold medal and to add to that, the King completed an extremely successful decade under Nike's  sponsorship. So in celebration, Nike and The King decide to put these joints out rumoured to retail at $180.00 US and another Nike+ basketball model is for $315.00 US, to be released sometime between Jan. 13th/2013 - Feb.15th/2013. Not gonna lie, the Lebrons were booty for about  2-3 years when he was in Cleveland but Nike stepped up their design game and I definitely see how they're collectibles and extremely comfortable.
Here are some photos of different colour ways:

Nike+ model $315 US

Sneakers are a Lifestyle

This video is so self explanatory for all sneakerholics and it personally describes each and every bit to my sneaker addiction. For the sneakerheads you will love and appreciate this video cause you could relate in so many different ways. For the people who are just starting to collect sneakers or just wonder what the hype is behind sneakers this video explains the lifestyle perfectly. Enjoy, S/O to http://www.bbcicecream.com:

Obey Your Swagg

Ain't nothing like knowing your gonna go back to school in a couple of days, as you sit and ponder about where the fuck did three months of my summer go? Obey drops there fall collection of bags for all types of student ones looking to put books, ones looking to put sneakers and ball shorts, ones looking to put everything except books, and ones looking to put other shit that might get em' locked up. Obey actually have been stepping up their accessory game big time and actually competing with Jansport and north face, etc. brands that were popular when I went to high school. Mind you Obey is a much smaller company then these big corporations. You could check 'em out here

Changed The Game

Mase, Puff Daddy, LL Cool J are just some of the Celebs. growing up had the cleanest Nike's. Made me save all my damn allowance money just to cop a pair of Nike's at the end of the year but it felt so damn good getting a clean pair of Nike's. Nike has beyond any doubt changed the game for basketball shoes, they absolutely set the bar high not to say Reebok and Adidas don't have stripes (no pun intended) but Nike just took over in these last couple decades. Here are my Top 3 favourite basketball shoes not including Air Jordan's:
