LeBron James’ signature kicks is getting a new look with its seventh stanza. The Nike Air Max LeBron VII departs the heavy combat boot build of previous LeBrons and goes a little lighter with some FlyWire.

In some aspects the LeBron VII reminds me of Vince Carter’s Nike Shox VC line (the VC 2 and VC [...]

Today, Starbucks announced its latest innovation from MyStarbucksIdea.com – the mini version of a Starbucks card.

Clip this little card to your keychain and carry around some Starbucks credit where ever you go (well, except for Windward Mall).
My assessment of this innovation. Meh, but at least MyStarbucksIdea.com has some fun contests to promote their new ideas.

Another serious blast from the kicks past! The iconic And1 Tai Chi is making its return though I don’t like this planned colorway.

I loved my royal blue/sky blue combo with the multicolored laces. And if you forgot, these are the kicks that Half Man, Half Amazing Vince Carter wore when he went nutso at the [...]

Look at what Nike is releasing tomorrow, just in time for Father’s Day, the Air Trainer Legacy Pack! This two shoe collection features the Air Trainer and revolutionized Trainer 1. The box itself is killer.

Unfortunately, you need to order the Air Trainer Legacy Pack online at the nikestore.com.

I still remember when UH ballers AC Carter and Mike Robinson rocked these Air Max Total Uptempos. The Black/Volt colorways are being retroed.

Kanye West designed Air Yeezy’s came out with a new colorway today, and like that, they were gone. Kicks Hawaii was fortunate to have 15 pairs of the Yeezy’s, and kick fiends waited in line since Wednesday to cop a pair for $300. No, I wasn’t in line to get one of only 3000 Yeezys [...]

Starbucks’ canned Doubleshot drinks have a new design.
The original.

The redone.

Same potent flavor and caffeinated effects.

With the limited sales period for Pepsi and Mountain Dew Throwback nearing its end, I had to load up on these natural sugar drinks.

Buy 2, get 2 free at Safeway.

Added one more box to my Kicks Anthology.  This one is the classic Air Jordan 11 Retro, black and varsity red colorway.  This shoe meant business on the court!

Nike Trainer Reborn

by Gee Why on May 16, 2009

in Addiction, Passion

Back in the day, Bo Jackson and John McEnroe wore Nike Air Trainers and made them classic kicks. Taking from this inspiration and enlisting Bryan Clay, Adrian Peterson, Larry Fitzgerald, Troy Polamalu, Brandon Roy, and Amare Stoudemire, Nike has given life to the Nike Trainer 1.

The Trainer 1 features Nike DiamondFLX, “a patent-pending outsole system [...]

If Wolverine wore Nike kicks, he’d be rocking these Air Max 95.

The high tops are for Wolvie’s nemesis, Sabertooth.

in Addiction, Pulp

Did you find your Pepsi or Mountain Dew Throwback yet? For eight weeks starting on April 20, these drinks sweetened with sugar and not High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) will be available, and yes, they are in Hawaii. Over the weekend, I managed to find both Throwback varieties in 20 oz. bottles at Safeway in [...]

My Nike Air Moto 6+ running shoes were already wearing down so I picked up the Nike Structure Triax+ 12 in silver and black.

So far, loving these shoes. Usually, I go for the cushioned ride provided by Air Max technology, but the Structure has responsive Nike Zoom instead. I think the Foot Bridge is giving [...]

The Anteaters of UC Irvine, the Home of Eater Nation, like their coffee. A full fledged Starbucks store has infiltrated the campus taking the spot of the school’s outside cafe.

The school itself has gotten a facelift with major renovations of the exterior of the Student Center.

The inside of the Bookstore looks about the same though [...]
