So many too choose from !

A day in the life or my mild obsession with sneakers & b-ball take your pick :), thought I would break from the heavy content and showcase some of my more unique sneakers and retro jerseys, I acquired over the past few years. Many know I am an avid sports fan so the jersey thing precedes most your favorite rappers craze.

#67 Adidas Dakota Hi Tops salesman sample( broke-back mountain edition no-homo)colorway lime green/tan/white have never actually gather the courage to wear these to an official game even vintage jersey nights, open minded as the next guy but damn they are lime green maybe next season.

The jersey is a Hardwood Classic (Reebok) Atlanta Hawks Jersey (away) (1970-71) #44 former Atlanta Hawks PF Alan Henderson currently with the Cleveland Cavaliers.


#35 Nike Air Flight Nike Hi (1992 orginal)
colorway white/navy blue/red, purchased them while traveling overseas about a decade ago, only worn twice but soon Nike will re-make these as well :(


Olympic Pro Cut Shereef Abdur Rahim jersey (pro cut means it's design specifically for that particular athlete and size different from what you would get in a retail shop.)

My hope is that they go back to using pure college athletes instead of the push to sell jersey by sending nba players who's game doesn’t fit on the international stage, or if we use nba players how about sending cats suited for this style of play instead of Jermaine O’Neal send Brad Miller...wait he's white :)


# 177 Nike Zoom Terminator Hoyas low cut edition (re-released 2005)colorway White/ Obsidian/Granite with HOYA on the heel. <
These were first released in 1983 and called "legends" customized excusively for the Hoyas came out to the general public as Terminators in 1986.


The Jersey is from the Nike collegiate legends series most will have the "Ewing or Iverson" but was lucky to cop the "Sleepy Floyd" one from DC.

Eric (Sleepy) Floyd
ALL-AMERICAN
MEMBER OF GEORGETOWN ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME
AB 1982
Home Town/High School: Gastonia, NC/Hunter Huss HS
Lettered: 1979,80,81,82 (Captain, 1982)
Jersey Number: 21

Strangest thing here..... I hate Georgetown, Syracuse fan to heart but yet have more Hoyas jersey than any other collegiate team probably based on colors and Ewing's first real stage of his career.

#12 Nike Air Max proto-type (T-MAC)this is somewhat the holy grail of my sneaker collection (no pun intended Jesus) colorway was white/lt.blue Orlando Magic colors, this was the shoe that Nike was constructed for Tracy McGrady when it was believe he would sign on with Nike, of course he went to rival Adidas but hey cheer up Phil Knight things are looking up for Kobe 81 points and most folks have forgotten he actually fuck somebody in the ass other than his wife last year or something like that.

One good turn deserves another this is a legend series Philadelphia Hewbrews 1935(Dean & Stall)Cy KaselmanThere are plenty of parallels between the Jewish stars of years past and today's "flashy" black players. The players then and now were subject to sometimes egregious racial stereotyping. The newest showmen of modern basketball, such as Allen Iverson and Kobe Bryant are singled out for their "athleticism" and "natural talents", rather than their well-rounded play. Such stereotypes reflect a long tradition that goes back more than seven decades, when the game emerged from the ghettos of Philadelphia, New York and Baltimore. Sportswriters then used to wax about the gaudy skills of "natural athletes." Sounds familiar, except the stars had names like Dutch Garfinkel and Doc Lou Sugerman, and the top teams were the Philadelphia "Hebrews", the New York Whirlwinds and the Cleveland Rosenblums.


"The reason, I suspect, that basketball appeals to the Hebrew with his Oriental background," wrote Paul Gallico, sports editor of the New York Daily News and one of the premier sports writers of the 1930s, "is that the game places a premium on an alert, scheming mind, flashy trickiness, artful dodging and general smart aleckness." Writers opined that Jews had an advantage in basketball because short men have better balance and more foot speed. They were also thought to have sharper eyes, which of course cut against the stereotype that Jewish men were myopic and had to wear glasses, but who said stereotypes had to be consistent?
