The sinking feeling
by Taavi Kuisma on Dec.04, 2011, under Headlines, Social Media & Advertising, Sports
The sinking feeling. The moment when you realize you just screwed up and now need to put your game face on in a matter of seconds to amend the situation. Familiar circumstances to anyone with sports background but most likely familiar to pretty much anyone as we all tend to screw up something every now and then. Nike visualized this feeling pretty well in their latest Air Jordan ad. Although the video is obviously about the flight, I paid more attention to the sinking feeling. Cool ad nonetheless.

by Taavi Kuisma on Jun.18, 2011, under Headlines, Kicks
I know sneaker heads who go all the way to equip their children with the fly kicks they themselves are wearing, but kids can only start wearing sneakers at certain age, so what can they wear before that and still keep up with daddy’s (or mummy’s) Air Jordan “hobby”. The answer is Air Jordan Baby Socks.

The release of the Air Jordan edition of Playboy is just behind the corner. The issue is featuring top 23 Air Jordan kicks of all time as well as some lovely ladies or “Sole mates” as Playboy is referring to them. Few days back Playboy released some preview pics featuring nice kicks and pin up posing in a classy Playboy manner as one might expect. Not bad at all.
Sole Mates – It’s the shoes
by Taavi Kuisma on May.21, 2011, under Entertainment, Headlines, Kicks
What makes Playmates the hottest women in the Universe? Is it the shoes? These are the questions Playboy is asking in their latest venture “Sole Mates” with this popular men’s magazine “ranking the top 23 Air Jordans of all time in a feature starring Playmates Francesca Frigo, Jaime Edmondson, Jessica Burciaga, Patrice Hollis, Hiromi Oshima, Tiffany Taylor, Candice Cassidy, Kimberly Phillips and Heather Rae Young.”
The ad for the “campaign” has Miss August 2010 Francesca Frigo putting a “Playboy spin on the classic Nike commercial starring Mars Blackmon and Michael Jordan.”
Cool kicks and a gas mask
by Taavi Kuisma on Apr.17, 2011, under Comics, Design and Artwork, Headlines, Kicks
Right so when you cop a pair of new Jordans, the first thing is either to put them next to the other cool sneakers on your shelf or put them on and just enjoy the feeling of new shoes. Nothing like the new shoe smell by the way. Only topped by the new car smell I suppose. But for some, they have more sinister plans for the shoes, or perhaps I should say artistic ones. Artist Freehand Profit sure had other plans for a pair of Air Jordans when he created this custom gas mask.

Kicks Edition – Air Jordans
by Taavi Kuisma on May.30, 2010, under Headlines, Kicks
Late night, Saturday night. I must be getting old because the night used to start at the midnight, but for me it’s bedtime. But hey, I do want to wake up to watch Batman tomorrow morning, not just that but I have a breakfast to cook for the wifey and just so many things to do I just don’t want to miss out on. I’m a bit late with my writing, since I just spend the last few hours watching Seven Years in Tibet, a movie I had not watched until now and I really liked it. Good stuff.
Masterminds and Superheroes – Just More Kicks
by Taavi Kuisma on May.15, 2010, under Headlines, Kicks
Good morning world!
Yours truly is back at it like an addict. Not just a denim addict but a sneaker addict who desperately needs to get new kicks but unfortunately has still not been able to cop any. I should get myself something like a basic pair of black Chuck Taylors just to have a pair of new kicks for the summer. I mean damn.
