Jordan Melo M8 Advance

What up ya'll, I hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend like I did, spent some quality family time and got some good homecooking while I was at it. Let me just say this off the rip, I was a fan of the Melo's up until the 5th one and then after that he lost me still. I think a lot of his designs r too similar and I just don't see the creativity in them. Nevertheless, Melo is a beast on the court, I can't judge how these are on the court but the sleek look definitely makes them look light and comfortable and agile with the low cut. Carmelo took to his Instagram to give a sneak peek of his new M8 in different colourways. The sneaker wil feature Hyperfuse construction, a Zoom cushioning systen and a TPU cage, and it's expected to transition the line towards the M9. Melo definitely thought outside the box when naming these Joints:

"Legion Of Doom" 

"Italian Icy" 

"Knickerbockers"

 "Red Hook"

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

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.
