Jan 25 · Air Jordan 2011 ‘Year of the Rabbit’


2010 marked the celebration of the 25th year of the Air Jordan Legacy; years and years of history and groundbreaking footwear design has allowed Jordan Brand to become the benchmark of fashioned-forward and high-performance basketball footwear, and as we begin the next twenty-five years of Air Jordan, we can only expect an equal amount of tradition and iconoclastic brand movement. For 2011, Jordan Brand will release a limited-edition Air Jordan 2011, celebrating the Year of the Rabbit; Sneaker News showed you a preview of the packaging of this special release, and here we get a look at the entire Air Jordan 2011 ‘Year of the Rabbit’ set, which includes the luxurious Air Jordan 2011 shoe and special apparel in the form of a varsity jacket and a t-shirt.

The Air Jordan 2011 ‘Year of the Rabbit’ features a dark grey upper mudguard with the molded graphic adopting a slightly darker shade for a rich contrast, with gold contrast stitching. Additional details include a red inner lining and tongue with gold accents on the branding and lacing, a gold-glittered translucent outsole, and red Jumpman on the bottom sole. The grey Air Jordan 2011 Varsity Jacket features a number of patches that serve as tributary crests, pointing out Michael Jordan’s MVP trophies, scoring titles, championships, and much more. The Air Jordan ‘Year of the Rabbit’ t-shirt features ‘Brooklyn’ across the chest with a special crest logo as well. pics via SneakerNews

Twitter-Controlled Car


Okay this is awesome and shows how far we have come and that twitter is more than just a global texting platform where people who have absolutley nothing to say are in a rat race for the most followers. It pretty much makes people anti-social in real life, but I need it for business!!

Grey Fox Iron Man (nice)
I am a HUUUUUGE Metal Gear Solid Fan so I had to post this. Also, watch how he went in and highlighted with White Out.
As part of his exhibit at the Konami Style store in Japan, Konami illustrator Yoji Shinkawa did a live painting of Big Boss aka Naked Snake in the smoky and gritty style familiar to fans of Metal Gear Solid. This was just day 1 of an on going painting that will continue until the end of January. It was a fantastic show and amazing to see him paint in person.
