adiZero Rose 2.5 - Brenda


The 2.5 Brenda is a beautiful, beautiful, and beautiful master piece when it comes to price vs look vs performance. Although I still believe the 2.0 was a better signature shoe representing the true D. Rose coz the 2.5 is looking too much alike to regular releases like the adiZero Shadow. BUT, this is an awesome performance pair of Rose with absolutely no regret even if I have bought it at full retail price then found a better deal later.

Reebok Zig Encore John Wall - All Star


Reebok, an almost forgotten brand name when it comes to basketball. The most famous signature from the brand was definitely the Iverson line like the recent retro release for the Question. Other than that you'll probably remember the few old school Shaqs and that's about it. Until John Wall came to the league and signed Reebok, which did not capture much of an attention although the Zig-Zag series has been quite popular in their running shoes world.

Zoom KD IV - Cool Grey/Del Sol White


The more colorway it gets released, the more I found the KD IV is gearing towards a gimmick more than an actual performance shoes. So many stories behind each cw and I wonder what's going to happen when Nike is releasing the KD V as they have all been used on the IV. I was thinking maybe I should just put this on as my regular casual wear, but I still want to try seriously balling on it first and see.

Fly Wade 2 - All Star


I always like the way D Wade plays on the court. High basketball IQ, always predicting things happening around him, constantly staying calm under situations. I find his personality has also reflected on the Wade II. Not only this is by far the best performance shoes imo, it differentiated from others by replacing neither Zoom or Air Max with awesome Lunarlon cushion. It’s also a calm shoe with simple, subtle but explosive stylish design unlike other bulky ones like LBJ 9. The All Star is just another gorgeous colorway that impressed me a lot.

adiPower Howard 2 - All Star


Centre's shoes has never been popular regardless of how great the player is. From Dikembe Mutombo, Shawn Kemp, David Robinson, Shaq, to more recent Dwight Howard, DeAndre Jordan, Andrew Bynum... etc. Although not many of them had their own signature shoes except for Shaq's old school Rebook Shaqnosis, and the Superman. I guess it has something to do with the playing style of being a centre where your job is to stay D, rebound, and low post. It is not as exciting compare to spin and crossover moves guards do, but I have to admit I enjoyed weirdo Javale McGee's and other centres playing style a lot. 

Enough BS, let's get this rolling!

Nike Foamposite Pro


The Foamposite One was released back in 1997 as a signature shoes for Penny Hardaway, my all time favourite player. The material used and its revolutionary design has changed the way basketball shoes were made. This Foamposite Pro is basically a Foamposite One with just a slight change of it's cosmetic design. Definitely one of the best of the best sneaker from my collections.

Kobe V Party - Part 2


Part 2, this is not a review again but a close look at some of my favourite Kobe V colorways. So here you go!

Kobe V Party - Part 1

Did too many new shoes lately, lets slow the pace down and roll back to some of the previous sick rides. The Zoom Kobe V and VI, definitely the best of the best kicks in performance among the Kobe series since his time back with Adidas. The Kobe System VII, hmm... not feeling it as much like the previous two. It looks okay, but performance is more important to me...
