Kobe Bryant Has Klout
Lookee here, lookee here. Social media influence measurer, Klout.com, has a new partner in the Black Mamba himself. Yep, Kobe Bryant, Nike, and Klout have joined up for a social media promotion. What is it? Not sure yet, but details are to come as Nike Courtside is slowly unveiled.
And to keep things on the up and up. I’m obligated to say:
I was given a free product or sample because I’m a Klout influencer. I was under no obligation to receive the sample or talk about this company. I get no additional benefits for talking about the product or company.
New Goodies
Got some new goodies to play with…
That’s a Pogoplug (thanks to Ryan Kanno for the tip) and the Air Jordan CMFT Max 12 Fresh Water colorway. More later…
This Rabbit Is Yummy!
The Air Jordan 2011 designed for the Year of the Rabbit is absolutely yummy. The color scheme includes “wolf grey” and the red and gold of lai see envelopes.
And like the other Air Jordan 2011 colorways, the pair includes the interchangable Quick and Explosive midsoles.

Lego Coolness
Lego is already cool but look, Lego ninjas! You can’t top that coolness factor right?
Wrong! How about some Lego kicks?? That’s pure craziness and Lego love right there!
Rene Mansho Has Crazy Kicks
First off, big props to Rene Mansho for organizing the monthly Aloha Aina Earth Day events. This is a great way to recycle difficult items like old computers, batteries, etc. At the recent Castle High School event, Ms. Mansho showed off some crazy kicks. I don’t know how to describe them other than awesome!
Pepperminty Kicks
Talking about coolness and ice, I saw these kicks the other day, and I had to snap some pics ninja-ishly.
These Nike Air Trainer I Premium Quickstrikes are definitely cool like peppermint.
Kicks Wednesday: These Are Simply Ill
These custom designed shoes are simply ill as in beautiful. Check them all!
You have to see them all!! Are these Photoshop creations? Ah, who cares!
Kicks Wednesday: Be Like Barack
Want to be or ball like President Barack Obama? Then you need to don the Nike Air Max Elite II TB
Kicks Wednesday: Inspired by Social Media
Okay, really there’s no Kicks Wednesday, but there’s been some interesting shoe-related tidbits floating around. First up, Twitter and Facebook inspired kicks.
I prefer the design elements of the Twitter sneaker but that sky blue color scheme is harder to match. But really, I’m partial to these Civil Beat-inspired Nike Air Max 95s. 😉
Will Santa Be Rocking Cool Greys?
This Christmas will Jolly Old Saint Nick be delivering these Air Jordan XI Cool Greys to good girls and boys, or will he be rocking them on his sleigh ride? Drops December 23.
And yes, for the UH Basketball fans, Carl English dominated in these.
What’s on Boba Fett’s Feet?
In a galaxy far, far away, when Boba Fett is done hunting for bounty, he kicks off his armored boots and slips into something more functional and fashionable. Just like these Adidas Originals ZX 800.
I thought the plastic blister packaging was over the top but it’s supposed to mimic the packaging for Star Wars action figures from back in the day.
