Saturday and some kicks

Hi Y’all,
Saturday’s like my favorite day of the week. I mean growing up as a young whippersnapper Saturdays meant few things; no school, Saturday morning cartoons, more time to spend with friends and fam of course. For sure there are and were like a dozen other reasons why Saturday’s rock but yeah, I just love em.
This Saturday has been all good, I mean it’s about 8 pm right now, had some work to do but also got some (at least in my opinions) well deserved rest. But I’m like an ant (Ant Man, heh), so I keep working. Make the best of the time at hand, and make those hours count.
It’s been way too long since I posted the last kicks edition. Well this I am planning to fix right now. With a Saturday’s kicks edition, almost as good as the Saturday morning cartoons, heh.
First off, Nike’s new Air Max LeBron VII China Edition. Chinese New Year is just behind the corner and we’re just past the Mid Autumn festivities, so the shoe fits right in with its mooncake like stamps and well rather China influenced outlook.

The shoe comes as a follow up to the More than a game world tour. The shoe is dedication to the tour’s visit to three main cities in China. The Chinese elements are not just limited to the mooncake design but has for instance LeBron James’ name in Chinese all over it, it goes little something like this “勒布朗 詹姆斯” (pardon my Chinese).
Next off, Nike Zoom Kobe IV – Four Rings.

The NBA season is gonna kickstart shortly and powerhouses like Nike are getting some well fitted products out in celebration of new season full of B-Ball action. Being a Lakers fan (not hiding it) the Four Rings shoe got my attention as soon as I laid my eyes on it. Kobe had a great season and got his fourth championship ring (thus the Four Rings) and being the NBA finals MVP just to name few achievements. I mean the shoe looks fresh, it should look fresh even in the eyes of non-Laker-fans.
Not necessarily the best shoe for the season here in Finland, but maybe something to cop for the next summer. And hey, if you’re staying somewhere with one season only or enjoying the summer right now, this shoe will definitely look fresh no matter the outfit. White Full Canvas Air Force 1 inspired by Nike’s Classic tennis shoes. I love the shoe, but just wonder how would the shoe look after two days in the rainy/soggy weather out there, heh.

Last but not least, the Halloween’s just behind the corner and many brands are bringing out special Halloween kicks. Among the funniest has to be Nike’s “Savage Beast” Air Force 1 Low Quickstrike.

The shoe rocks a pony hair upper, that nicely fits title savage beast. This isn’t the first pony hair shoe out this season though. New Balance recently brought out their pony hair sneakers for the Autumn 09. Definitely not something for everybody, but I guess these are somewhat collector’s items anyway, heh.

Haha, now only I realized that it’s mainly about Nike once again. Nike’s doing their thing no doubt, or maybe other brands are just not loud enough with their recent releases, haha. I promise you though, next kicks edition will be a non-Nike edition, for real.
Alrighty, that’s all for now but stay tuned for our upcoming Halloween Promotion as well as new gear from KIKS TYO, Momotaro and more.
Be easy y’all and enjoy your weekend. I’m out, peace.
