Foot Locker Ala Moana Returns Upstairs
Foot Locker at Ala Moana reopened its upstairs doors, leaving the bottom floor. It’s near its original location seemingly switching places with The Gap.
Lots of cool kicks to see…

The Sole Still Burns at Niketown Waikiki
is that right? Midweek says the Niketown in Waikiki is still open even though it was announced the store would close in May 2009.
The sole still burns!
I’d Run in These Air Max 2009
Oohh, nice. I can definitely see myself running in these new Air Max 2009. This colorway drops at Foot Locker in November.
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.
Air Jordan 11 Space Jams Returning
The iconic Air Jordan 11 in the black and Varsity Royal blue “Space Jam” colorway is re-releasing in November.
So hard to resist…
Looking at the Upcoming LeBron VII
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 3), but instead of the Shox pillars, the new LeBrons features full length Air Max.
I always wondered why LeBron wanted such heavy sneakers throughout the season but changed to the lighter Soldiers during the Playoffs. Let’s see how starting a season with lighter kicks impacts James’ game.
Return of the And1 Tai Chi
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 2000 NBA All Star Slam Dunk Contest. Oh yeah, the Bulldogs of Fresno State had these as their team shoe when Chris Herren was much loved and hated in the WAC.
Just in Time for Father’s Day: Air Trainer Legacy Pack
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.
AC Carter & Mike Robinson Kicks Flashback
I still remember when UH ballers AC Carter and Mike Robinson rocked these Air Max Total Uptempos. The Black/Volt colorways are being retroed.
Yummy Kicks
These new round of kicks is simply yummy!

Whoa, Easy with the Yeezy’s
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 made.
Watch the KGMB9 coverage of the Air Yeezy release.
Hotness: Eminem and Relapse
Check out Eminem color coordinated with Air Jordan 4s on the cover of Entertainment Weekly. Hot!
His latest release, Relapse, ain’t too shabby either. Just a warning but pretty disturbing at times though.
