What’s Rod Rockin’?

, , , , ,

Whoa! Will UH forward, Roderick Flemings, be the golden child of the WAC this season? Just what is he rockin’ in this picture in the Honolulu Advertiser?

Last season, the Golden Rod donned rainbow-hued Undercrown special editions. This year he’s got the Adidas Nation TS Commander LT in gold. These are supposedly a limited edition run with only 200 pairs made available on EastBay or to those who played in the under-18 Adidas Nations’ basketball tournament.

Whatever Rod wears, let’s hope they translate to UH wins.  Season starts Friday.  Go Bows!

Celebrity Thursday

, , , , ,

After experiencing [re]think Hawaii and TEDxHonolulu, life treated me to a few celebrity sightings. First, there was Olena Heu who looked dashing in purple while shopping at Costco. Then there was yet another Jorge Garcia sighting at a Farmer’s Market. I saw him buying fresh vegetables as I was driving in, but by the time I got to the market, he was gone. I know Internet law says “pictures or it didn’t happen” but sorry, you have to trust me on these.

I do have a picture of this “celebrity” who, while working at the Farmer’s Market, was rocking some rare Tiffany Diamond Dunks!!

Wearing Diamond Dunks

That, people, is celebrity status!

Spotted at Ala Moana

What did I spot at Ala Moana this past weekend?  How about this $175 Juicy bag for a grandmother?

Not your thing? How about some Nike Lunarglides?

And in case you forget, here’s a shirt to remind you.

Every Damn Day

Awesome (and expensive) Star Wars Lego.

And Legos are cool! Just ask Naveen Andrews aka Sayid on LOST who picked up some kits.  Yes, that is really him.  I recognize him from the last time.  And no, I didn’t want to bug him for a picture during his family time in a crowded toy store full of people.

And as I was leaving while eating a wicked Haagen-Dazs Dazzler, I saw this tweet.

Just Some Magazine Covers

, , ,

SLAM’s annual Kicks issue is out. Derrick Rose is rocking his Adidas on the cover, but for me, the return of the And1 Tai Chi is way cooler. Get your kicks fix now.

The Star Bulletin preview of this year’s UH football team has this great spoof of the Macworld magazine. Yep, it’s Mackworld with Head Coach Greg McMackin on the cover. Got to love the computer themed titles.

And lest you forget, Mack 2.0 is more sensitive and understanding.

So Long Converse Says DWade

, , , ,

Dwyane Wade’s attempt to revitalize the Converse shoe brand is over. DWade is now a member of Team Jordan, wearing the Jumpman logo from now on.

So if you got some yet-to-be-released Wade 5 sneakers, you now have a collector’s item.

Does the shoe tongue say “Doubt Me”? Was Converse doubting DWade’s loyalty? Was DWade doubting Converse’s viability? What an appropriate way to end the DWade-Converse relationship.
