Another Air Max 24-7….this color is sick. A darker scheme for the fall…the blue mix reminds me of the Stash AF & ‘95 colorway…

Adidas is killing it right now huh??

Well in addition to the ObyO stuff, we also started receiving the Star Wars collection. The first shoe is the Conductor Hi (a fave of mine), that gets it’s design from the Stormtrooper spacecraft, the “Death Star”. The shoe features some Stormtrooper weaponry as graphics, and the toolings of a varsity jacket with it’s use of chenille patches, and wool upper.

And and just so you know, the shoes come in a plastic & cardboard casing similar to the collectible toy figurines. And check out the darkside interior…the in-sole is bananas!

Following up on the previous post of the Luker by Neighborhood Adidas collection, we present the white version of the Superstar 80’s. The clean white holds up an appealing contrast to the cream sole and shell-toe. The minimal Luker aesthetic is complimented with small hits of branding such as the collaborative insignia on the heel. Just as the black flew out the first time (we had to re-up), I’d make sure to get these while you can!

Say what you want, but I absolutely love the how polarized opinions are when it comes to Jeremy Scott’s designs. A true innovator in my opinion, but far over the top to others - his work is guaranteed to provoke reaction.

A new shoe to the Jeremy Scott ObyO arsenal, the “JS License” just arrived after months of waiting and stalking since blogs leaked photos of this shoe several months ago. Coast to coast flavor is the route or opposition with New York and Beverly Hills license plates sitting prominently atop the tongue. The super cushioned, mega-padded tongue. Large classic trefoil logo on the back, this is already a modern Adidas classic.

Sure to be gone before you know it.

Here’s the last of the footage…the majority of the photos are of the “Make Something” experience, which was probably the best thing I saw the entire trip. It is located on Bowery and Houston, and I don’t think it’s open to the public, but if you can weasel your way in there, I highly suggest doing so.

Nike, Air Jordan, and Converse teamed up with artists Aaron Rose, Eric Elms, Carrie Mundane (Cassette Playa), Todd Selby, DJ A-trak, and others on creating this space that gave teenagers from the NY area a truly unique experience. The artists conducted workshops, teaching the kids a variety of creative acitivities such as music editing, sign painting, poster drawing, plus clothing and sneaker design!

The space was littered with all the artwork and some actual products were sampled and produced as well, such as the Nike Destroyer Varsity Jackets, Converse All-stars, and Nike Hyperdunks.

The kids worked on a unique hybrid shoe that fused sneaker elements from the Nike, Jordan, and Converse brand…truly one of a kind.

Ruth, DiMaggio, Gehrig, Mantle, Jackson. The Yankees have had a long history of great players in their storied franchise. Down the line this man will be in the same sentence as these greats. For all you Yankee fans out there Jordan Brand came out with the C.C Sabathia Alpha 1 Outdoor. The Jordan Brand really did a nice job with this one. Made of a reflective upper this lightweight sneaker is perfect for the outside courts. The strap on the sneaker is for ideal ankle support. It also has 27 tallies on the sneaker referencing the amount of Championships the Yankees have won over the years. Another great part is the collective keychain with the number 52 that C.C. wears. These are available now.

Here are some other things I had the pleasure of doing during my NYC stay for the WBF…

The hardcore NBA fans are familiar with my man Kevin Durant right here. I have to admit, it was hard to like the guy at first considering I’m a Blazers fan (we picked Oden instead). But, this truly one of the brightest young stars in the NBA today and has a nice young nucleus in Oklahoma City that looks to be making noise for many upcoming seasons.

Check this short video clip where I asked him about his favorite kicks…

Rucker Park was just incredible - this was after halftime of the Brazil vs. Puerto Rico exhibition game.

After the Team USA inter-squad exhibition game….HOVAAAA!

So I’m back from a dream week in NYC for my coverage of the World Basketball Festival. From those following the Extra Butter tweets, you would have seen that I was quite busy. Over the next few days I will release some more flicks and footage in a 3-part series for you to get a more in depth look.

I have to thank my friends at Sneaker Freaker for this opportunity - please check the wrap-up I did for their site here.

In this post I will highlight some of the features in Harlem. Uptown was bubbling with all sorts of things to get your basketball juices flowing, so have a look.

Inside “The Ballroom” was a historic look at the evolution of jerseys, game balls, and of course sneakers. There were also interactive flat screen monitors to give a closer look at not just sneakers, but players and their signature moves - which the video will show you below.

Jordan Brand was fully present of course well with superstars Chris Paul and D. Wade appearing at House of Hoops, and a full Jordan Brand “For the Love of the Game” installation, down the street at Atmos.

On Friday night we had the pleasure of attending the world premier of the  “Air Force 1: Anatomy of an Urban Legend” documentary. A truly incredible film and star-studded affair, the evening was surreal to say the least.
