by admin | Sep 23, 2020 | Featured, Sneaker Releases, Sneakers

The Japan-exclusive Air Jordan 1 High OG CO.JP is finally seeing a global release after 19 years. Originally released in 2001 alongside the recently retroed “Metallic Silver” CO.JP Air Jordan 1, the “Midnight Navy” Air Jordan 1 CO.JP comes in a White, Midnight Navy, and Metallic Silver color scheme.

The “Midnight Navy” grew in notoriety as one of the first OGs to feature navy in its scheme and the re-release leans into that feature with deep Navy nubuck details. Underneath the nubuck is White tumbled leather, and the gleaming silver Swoosh. At the ankle, sit jeweled Air Jordan wings. The silhouette is topped off with an understated Nike Air logo stitched into the tongue and a matching Navy outsole.

Nike Goes Big For Mamba Week

Featured

by admin | Aug 24, 2020 | Featured, Sneaker Releases, Sneakers

In honor of the birthday of the Los Angeles Lakers legend, Kobe Bryant, Nike has taken this week to release a plethora of the Nike Kobe V Protros. Kicking off with last Sunday’s release of the “Big Stage” V, Nike has been honoring the legacy of one of basketball’s greatest heroes for the entire week of what would have been his 42nd birthday.

Not only is Nike honoring the Black Mamba through new releases, they also announced they are donating $1 million dollars to the Mamba and Mambacita Sports Foundation.

Not only does Mamba Week celebrate the birth of Kobe Bryant but celebrates the 10th anniversary of the Lakers 2010 championship victory. The “Big Stage” Kobe V Protro is a fusion of both the Big Stage Home and Away colorways Kobe wore on the court during the 09-10 season. The tattoo-like details that show up on the silhouette’s lateral sides have been updated to reflect some of Kobe’s achievements during the seasons as well.

Nike follows up the Big Stage Kobe V Protro with the “5x Champ” Kobe V Protro which is an homage to the iconic jackets Kobe wore following the Lakers’ 2001 and 2002 Championship victories, most specifically the one from 2001 which it mirrors almost exactly. The Lakers colorway is also topped with a snakeskin texture as a nod to the Mamba himself.

Alongside the “5x Champ” Kobe V Protro, Nike is reviving the Black Mamba inspired City jerseys originally introduced in 2017 after Kobe’s retirement. The black snakeskin jersey features 8 on the front and 24 on the back–honoring the entirety of Kobe’s storied career.

The biggest draw may be Thursday’s Undefeated Kobe V collaborations. The Los Angeles-based sneaker boutique is no stranger to working with Kobe. After a collection centering on Kobe’s acolytes, Undefeated returns with the focus on Kobe himself. Undefeated’s “What if” collection features two separate pairs of shoes that highlight the teams that passed on Kobe during the 1996 draft while the white blue and gold pair are reference to Kobe’s original draft team, the Charlotte Hornets.

Mamba Week comes to a close on Saturday with the Nike 5 Protro “Girls EYBL” an ode to Kobe’s unflappable love for women’s basketball and to honor the memory of the Mambacita, Gigi Bryant. The “Girls EYBL” Kobe 5 Protro is inspired by Medusa of Greek mythology who bore the ability to turn her enemies into stone. The dark green shoe features gray along the eyelets and on the toe box, as well as the EYBL logo stamped on the tongue.

The Mamba lives forever.

Here are the “Top 5 Most Questionable Booking Decisions Made By WWE In 2020 So Far:”

#5 Burying Ricochet

Super Showdown: February 27, 2020

Ricochet has always been a unique performer who had support from many WWE fans. As this support continued to grow, Ricochet received a significant push from the WWE with him starting to win more matches. Unfortunately, when Ricochet was booked to face “The Beast Incarnate” Brock Lesnar for his first WWE Championship match, most people knew that Ricochet wasn’t going to win the title. Ricochet lost all momentum losing to Brock Lesnar in a match that only lasted a couple of minutes. Ricochet’s inability to get any offense in the match and being the victim of what many would call a “Squash” match was sad and humiliating. Unfortunately, Ricochet’s career has never seemed to recover from the loss of that match. This booking decision raised many questions on why he was booked against Brock Lesnar in the first place.

#4 Making Shayna Baszler Wait So Long In The Elimination Chamber

Elimination Chamber: March 8, 2020

Many were looking forward to the Women’s Elimination Chamber match. This match consisted of six superstars fighting in a chamber for the right to challenge Becky Lynch for the Raw Women’s Championship. Shayna Baszler was already seen as a favorite to win the match, but it wasn’t expected that she would just run through the competition in the manner that she did. Baszler eliminated every single opponent in sight. While this was an excellent build for her, the match wasn’t booked quite well, which resulted in Shayna awkwardly waiting for a long time until another pod opened. The awkward waiting slowed down the pace of the match. WWE could have made her take her time to destroy her opponents, maintaining her dominance and the match’s pace.

#3 Ending Rhea Ripley’s Momentum

WrestleMania 36: April 5, 2020

Rhea Ripley was one of the fastest rising stars in WWE who had a lot of momentum. This momentum had been stopped short when she lost the NXT Women’s Championship to Charlotte Flair. Some fans blamed NXT booking for slowing down this momentum of Rhea Ripley. Some fans also believed that Flair could’ve used that opportunity to help make Ripley look good by losing to her. With so many opinions about how the match between Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley should have been booked, there’s no debate that Ripley needed to recover from it.

#2 Continuing Becky Lynch’s Championship Reign

Wrestlemania 36: April 4, 2020

“The Man” Becky lynch had an incredible reign as the Raw Women’s Champion. However, many believed that it was time for Lynch’s reign to end. With Shayna Baszler beating the entire Raw women’s division, it was only right in many of the WWE fan’s eyes for Becky Lynch to lose to her. It very underwhelming for Lynch to defeat Baszler, retaining her Raw Women’s Championship. As expected, WWE received a massive backlash from WWE fans, which made some fans slowly turn on Lynch.

#1 Making “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt Drop The WWE Universal Championship To Goldberg

Super Showdown: February 27, 2020

When the match between “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt and Goldberg was first booked, the WWE had already put themselves in a tough situation. Goldberg was a 53-year-old part-timer, but making the “hero” lose at Super Showdown may not have gone well with the “feel good” narrative the WWE was trying to paint. On the other end, “The fiend” Bray Wyatt was red hot and gave much relevance to the WWE Universal Championship. Wyatt losing the Universal Championship to Goldberg in a less than two-minute squash match was seen as a significant mistake on the WWE writers from the WWE fans. Even though Goldberg is incredibly athletic for his age, many WWE fans believed that he shouldn’t have won that match. Goldberg is a part-timer, so the momentum was needed more for Wyatt than Goldberg.
