Lifestylin’ with Safeway and Jordan
“Lifestyle” themes appear to be the latest trend in marketing. Safeway is renovating its stores with its Lifestyle look with the Hawaii Kai branch being the first in Hawaii. I guess with the Safeway Lifestyle remodeling comes the chocolatey fruity goodness of Coffeemate’s Chocolate Raspberry creamer. Went to the old school Safeways in Aiea and Kailua, and none of these had the goods.
Nike’s Jordan Brand also introduced its Lifestyle lineup featuring Carmelo Anthony, Quentin Richardson, and Terrell Owens. This clothing campaign is inspired by the early days of MJ and “challenges us to learn the Jordan Way of Life by being authentic, never compromising, earning excellence and aspiring to greatness.” Corny, yeah, yeah, I know.
Sadly though, I think if you saw Jordan’s Lifestyle trio (sports reputation aside) walking the aisles of your local lifestyled Safeway, you’d think you have to change your lifestyle, or at least markets. I’m just saying.
Yuta Tabuse Back in the NBA
The Los Angeles Clippers have signed Yuta Tabuse, the first Japanese born player in the NBA to their squad. Hopefully, the 5-9 guard retains a spot with the Clips.
Nike gotta show some love and market his signature Zoom Air Tabuse shoes.

Crack that Whip!
Don’t know why, but a bunch of 5th graders decided to reenact the video of Devo’s classic Whip It. Watch it on-line and whip it good!
How could this song not make the Most Memorable Song Lyrics list?
Zoinks! A Five Bladed Razor
Not to be outdone by Schick’s 4-blade Quattro, Gillette is going to introduce its 5-blade bad boy called the Fusion.
Gillette offered the 3-bladed Mach3 razor in 1998. Then, Schick followed with the four-bladed Quattro five years later. Now three years after the Quattro, the Fusion will lead the market with 5 blades. So it took 8 years to figure out how to squeeze two more blades on a razor head?

Nike SB Bringing the Hawaiian Heat
NikeTalk has a topic previewing new Nike SB shoes coming out in 2006. One of them is inspired by the volcanic activity on the Big Island. No official name for these SBs, but folks are calling them the “Dunk Hawaii,” the “volcano,” or the “lava.”
Not the best looking shoe, but it’ll sell out due to its homage to Hawaii. Get’em when you can!
