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.”

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.

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.

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.

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.

Chopping a competing sneaker to prove a point was not enough for Adidas. They decided to chop another Nike kick to make it Crazy Light. This time with a chainsaw…

It’s always nice to compare features of a product to a competing brand for instance. You can do that in many ways but seldom the comparison is direct and happens in a video ad. Adidas in their promotion of the new 9.8 oz AdiZero Crazy Light blow a direct hit at a very significant competitor. While the short clip does have some wow effect in it, it also raised a question; “are they allowed to do that?” Still the clip is pretty funny and I recommend paying attention to the disclaimers on the bottom, kind of adds insult to the injury.

What do you get when you combine Chuck Taylors, awesome idea and video games? “A playable version of Space Invaders (classic) with the game formed on the wall with different Chuck Taylors flipping back and forth instead of your typical pixels.” (Freshness) The video and idea are pretty impressive. I’m pretty sure this is not the easiest adaptation of the game, but the video’s definitely worth a watch.
