26 March 2010.. afternoon

I'm still behind here w/ a few restaurants I visited in the month of February & March that I haven't blogged about yet but don't worry.. I'll get to them, I'm just playing some catch up right now.. but before I do.. let me show you something that's distracting me from getting to those restaurants.
JORDAN SPIZIKE
BLCK/VRSTY RD-CMNT GRY-MLTRY B
I don't know if this Food blog is going to turn into a /shoe blog or not because it's obvious that I do like shoes.  But don't worry guys... the FOOD post will always be first on this blog!! So if you guys see another shoe post, just know it's just another passions that I have that I'd like to share. Feel free to read along or skip to the food! hehe!

I'm not much of a fan when it comes to "Jordan Hybrid" shoes where they grab multiple designs of different Air Jordans and combine them all into one shoe.  Ehhhh I dunno.. I just think it's a terrible idea from Michael Jordan himself @ Jordan Brand.  Come on man... what are you thinking?? what ever happened to "Quality inspired by the greatest player ever"? I mean come on, these Jordan Hybrids are garbage!

Now I'm a hypocrite! when I found out these Jordans were going to come out, my jaws dropped! These Jordans are inspired by the Air Jordan III (midsole), Air Jordan V (Upper), Air Jordan VI (Tongue), Air Jordan IV (Wings), Air Jordan IX (Pull Tab), and the Air Jordan IX ( rising sun logo at the heel).  That's a combination of 6 Air Jordan models.. and Air Jordan models III, IV, V, VI are all probably one of the BEST Air Jordan models along with model XI(not included in design) ever in the history of the Air Jordan shoes.  Well that's my opinion.  Anyways.. to included all those models on a shoe, especially with a color combo of BLK/GREY-RED just sealed the deal for me!  I mean.. when it comes to a shoe.. especially Air Jordans, that combination of colors would be my most favorite!

So the shoes been out for almost a month now but at a retail price of $175.. heck no I won't buy! I don't care if I like the shoe that much! But on this Friday afternoon, I was fortunate enough to have a friend who works for Footaction that hooked me up with an employee discount =)  So I finally got the shoes I've been wanting ever since I found out they were going to be released.

Here's more pix:

(pictured above to the left are the Air Jordan IV models, which this version of Spizike was inspired after)

So far I'm very impressed by this shoe, especially the quality built of it because lately, the Jordan Brand shoes have been low on quality but these shoes were built good.  Just the combination of colors alone on top of a nice design makes this shoe a worthy one in my closet.  I've noticed these shoes aren't selling, maybe because of the high price tag, but if I can get lucky and find a pair for a real low price.. I'll be sure to scoop up another pair!
