Look what premiered in Hawaii today exclusively at In4mation, the Hawaii/Pele Dunks SB.
The new box.
The Pele insole.
The shoe.
The Hawaiian flag and the Big Island.
Patent leather.
Clear soles.
The Big Island.
Hawaii’s own.
Less than $100. Sold out. Yes, I admit it. I have a problem. I am addicted to kicks.
As Mars Blackman said, “It’s gotta be the shoes!” Relive the Air Jordans released over the years at the updated Jumpman23 site.
Ah, such memories. During my playing days, I’ve had the the Air Jordan I, IV, VIII, XI, XIII, and XVIII. I wanna be like Mike
Nike continues to promote its Air Max history. The Nike Air site is now complete with the release of the Air Max 360. Even more interesting though, is the availability of popular Air Max shoes at Nike iD.
Yes, you can now custom design your own Air Max 1, Air Max 90, Air 180, Air Max 93 (2/23), Air Max 95 (3/9), Air Max 97 (3/23), and Air Max 03 (3/23). Hmmmm, the funky looking but favorite Air Max 95 available in March…
Running errands on Saturday, this is some of the things I saw.
I did NOT see the new Air Max 360 at FootLocker. Supposedly their shipment didn’t come in for the big January 21 release date. Strange for such a big chain not to get these in. Personally, I think they’re delaying these until the 30% Friends & Family sale is over. I did see the 360s at Kicks HI. They’re kinda so-so looking.
Went to Elements Hawaii (not related to Kicks HI) to do some tech support. The spa is decorated with a Valentine’s Day theme.
It was getting late so decided to pickup dinner on the way home. Came across Wahoo’s Fish Taco, newly opened at the Ward Gateway location. While parking, I saw this pimped out Mini Cooper. What was it pimped out with? Hello Kitty gear. Hello Kitty head rests and gas cover. Crazy.

Since the 2005-2006 NBA season started, a whole lot of kicks have been released. Foot Locker had a bunch of new stuff like…
| Dwyane Wade’s signature shoe, Converse Men’s Wade (boring name). Bold design. Not bad for the price. |
| Tracy McGrady’s signature shoe, adidas Men’s T-MAC 5. Probably the most interesting of the signature shoes. Kinda Vick-like in appearance with the strap. |
| Allen Iverson’s signature shoe, Reebok Men’s Answer IX Pump (crazy Limited Edition shown). Why are AI’s shoes always so heavy? You’d think a guard wants light shoes to maintain that quickness. Though probably the best shoe in the Answer line. |
| Jordan Retro XIV (men’s and women’s). Many colorways of the XIV are coming out. Waiting for the black and carolina blue next year. |
The boot-like Lebron James’ signature shoe, Nike Zoom Lebron III, doesn’t drop until November 17.
Visit nikebasketball.com for the full Zoom LeBron III story.
Footlocker is having yet another F&F sale this weekend. Get 30% off your purchases from 9/30 to 10/2. Also usable at Champs Sports. Gear up for the Honolulu marathon with new running shoes or just kick it with a new pair of Jordans like these Retro XIV in graphite, chartreuse, and black.
Coupon is here (thanks Wayne’s World).
Remember these shoes from back in the day? They’ve been modernized with new colors and even some fleece!
No, I won’t be getting these, just reminiscing . Never did own a pair of Vans. Hmmm, if I had to guess, I would say Wayne’s World and T rocked the original Vans??

Kanye West may be rhymin’ that diamonds are forever, but it ain’t so for this OG. Decided to sell my Tiffany Diamond Dunks on eBay, and a shoehead in NY won the prize.
One more look at my precious…
Found this tee at APB to match the Diamond Dunks. What can I say, the hype of the Tiffanys got to me.
Are you down with apb?
Was a crazy week for picking up new kicks. First up, I managed to get a hold of a pair of Tiffany Diamond Dunks and Zoom Team Editions. Then Gung Gung Chung wanted new court shoes to dominate the Badminton League for Retired Chinese in Hawaii (BLRCH). Hey, just in time for the Footlocker Friends & Family sale! Picked out two possibilities, the ultra performance Nike Air Zoom Huarache 2K5 (Kobe’s signature shoe) and the clearance RBK Afronaut (the Afronaut?!?).
All in all, a good week but would’ve been ever better if I found some Jordan P-Rods. More pics of the pickups.
Another new Nike SB release, the Vapor Dunks, looks funky but ain’t too bad when seen up close. Not sure if they’re still available from in4mation or Kicks HI. At least you can get these at a reasonable price unlike the hype driving up the costs of the Tiffany Diamond Dunks.
The over-hyped Nike Diamond Dunks dropped in Hawaii today. Going price was $200, and places still sold out in no time. Also known as the Dunk Low Pro SB Aqua/Cool Grey or Tiffanys cause of its color scheme, I’ll have to pass. How do you match these kicks?
Read about the Tiffanys in a raging discussion on NikeTalk. Over 100 pages long!
