What’s the #KobeSystem and what can it do to you? I guess it’s not just what can the system do for you but where do you go once you’ve already reached “the beyond” As Nike put it, “Where do you go from the top? You go over the top. The #KobeSystem: Success for the Successful is Kobe’s winning, results-oriented philosophy on how to adapt to succeed. You’re Welcome.”

It’s been a rather quiet season in the NBA. The NBA lockdown is still rampant and it seems we won’t be seeing 2011-2012 season. Could they even have an all-star game or something? Although we’re not seeing NBA action, basketball is not stopping as Nike puts it in their latest campaign featuring Keving Durant. In the latest video from Nike Basketball, Kevin Durant takes to the Oklahoma City streets to show that Basketball Never Stops for any of us.

Makes me feel like going out and shoot some hoops. Damn…

Planking may be fun, but I know what’s even more fun. Batmanning. It’s like planking but taking it a step higher. Literally.

I tried batmanning one autumny day, my sister as photographer. I know, I didn’t do it the right way, but I was so frightened of falling head-first that I decided to do it the safer way! I think that batmanning is more of a guys’ thing, because you’re supposed to hang from your feet. That’s impossible for me! I don’t have that big feet, my shoe size is 5.5 (European size 38.5, American 8). Another example where some activities are designed for men… Sex discrimination! Just kidding, this is supposed to be fun, nothing serious.

You know what? We’re in it for the Love of the Game. Just like Air Jordan…

Our friends at KIKS TYO have put together a little video teasing us of what’s to come from the brand in the Spring and Summer 2012 season. New Sneaker & Girl tees are not the only thing coming up, the good folks at KIKS TYO have also put together a KIKS GIRL DVD which will be available through KIKS TYO next spring (2012). The photography is by KIKS TYO’s founder HOBBY:TECH and just to add to the teasers, the style is slightly different from the last few seasons from KIKS TYO. For now we have a little teaser video and plenty more to come. All I can say is that the S&S 2012 collection is looking hot.

Lengthy lessons aside, this is how you run a company like Kenny Powers. For anyone who hasn’t seen the K-Swiss campaign piece featuring Kenny Powers as the company’s new CEO, you need to see this. So “before you say anything, be prepared to shut the f**k up”. Friday night folks!

The last day of Nike Mag 2011 auction. You still have a chance to cop a pair of these instant classics. The prices have settled a bit since the first day of auction and you can now get yours for a mere sum of 3000 USD (or even less). Even celebrities like Kanye West and MLB pitcher Brian Wilson (of the San Francisco Giants) have been spotted rocking the shoes. But these people can easily afford the 10k USD shoes. I read that Wilson actually bought two pairs of which one is in use where as other remains in ice.

If you want to release one of the most talked of sneakers of all time, you might as well do it with a bang. Nike didn’t let anyone down with their latest activation for the coveted Nike Mag or Air McFly sneaker familiar from Back to the Future 2. The futuristic take on an Air Nike has been a source of speculation for years with Nike’s patent applications and other details adding fuel to the fire. Finally this week a number of hints indicating a release of the classic started to surface. Not only were well known bloggers and sneaker personalities invited to an event where they were first greeted with 80′s style refreshments (candy and Pepsi) as well as BlueRay of the Back to the Future trilogy but also a set of replica shades made famous by Doc Emmet Brown in the movies.

This is just madness. You might think you have an impressive collection of kicks, think again. The ShoeZeum has a sneaker collection unlike I have ever seen before. Better yet, now we can all get an idea of the collections’s massive awesomeness that can barely be described by words. I mean imagine pretty much every significant limited edition sneaker ever released all in one place. I bet there is no sneaker head out there that’s not impressed with the collection.

Now this makes an interesting collaboration. mastermind Japan has teamed up with iconic boot maker Timberland for one of a kind collaboration 6″ boots. I am surprised they did not choose the black color for the boots knowing mastermind usually sticks with the signature black. I’m actually happy they chose the wheat color. All of my Timbs are in this color and I have feeling the future ones will be as well. No details on the price of the collaboration just yet but you can look for this around S/S 2012. If you are interested it’s best to note that this collaboration obviously comes in very limited numbers.
