The REAL reason why VC's Line fell off is because he did first. After getting his signature line, Vince wuz pretty much injured and a forgotten man thatseason. The Shox VC I and its commercial were dope -- but no one got to see Vince actually WEAR 'em in the League. Same goes for the VC II --...

Kobe got an illy box to go with his Black Mamba "Friendlies" Hyperdunks -- with the chinese calligraphy and mamba illustration -- as well as"mamba" paper that the shoes were wrapped in. That box and paper are nicer than LBJ's lasered/alternate-opening boxes -- but I gotta admit that LeBron's...

WallyHop: I recognize the first joints you posted -- but I think the one's I posted were earlier. I can recall those Trainer Max dropping around '96 with all the Olympics kicks (Zoom Flight '96s, Air Much Uptempo's) -- but they may have been a'95 release. I'm not sure -- but they obviously...

Does anybody remember these -- the Trainer Max 95's? Better yet, does anyone have pictures of the black/orange colorway of these bad boys? These were in the era of the 95 air max and the air max CW (Webber's first signature swooshie joint -- now the Sensation) -- hence visible air in...

Adding these gems to the discussion... Air Raid II's are one of my Top Five Sneakers of All Time -- but admittedly, they're not for everyone. And that's fine. I'd prefer to maintain a monopoly with the OG's, but I'd cop if they pulled the trigger. On a related note, I bought both thevintage...

I'm surprised so many cats feel the Zoom Flight '96 -- I killed two OG's backintheday, but only cuz they were cheap moreso than their performance. My surprise hooping gem -- especially outdoors, where traction can be difficult -- is the Pippen 2 Retro. I never hooped in my OG's, but the...

If any saw the recent "Stockroom" @ Kix and the City, Maze showcased the Yeezy's: http://www.kixandthecity....oom-hd-march-2009-video/ For whutever reason, the one he featured looked gigantic -- like a size 13 compared to size 9 for those models he wuz displaying (lunar trainers, dunks, etc.)...

Get Outside DOES have colored and patterned laces -- just look behind the cashier in the shoe-store section, NOT the women's clothing section. Also peep GROOVY @ Queen St. West and John, which I believe someone mentioned earlier... Rainbow colors and patterns there. Also Livestock and Goodfoot...

Anyone know why Canadian spots are basically exempt from getting Foamposite/Flightposites/Foam-Domes, 1/2 Cents, etc.? I heard it wuz because the Red and Cactus Foam 1's didn't do so well -- but I'm sure the Royal joints flew as would the Eggplants, if we'd beenable to cop any. One has to say...

Also try Groovy Shoes on Queen West, a bit west of Much Music on the south side of Queen Street. They stock adidas, Chuck Taylor's and New Balance-type*$$...

I heard Si Vous Play has Snow Gooses at all of their locations -- they got one in Scarbs and a few other joints scattered 'round the GTA... They'll also be slightly cheaper than the other locations mentioned... no guarantees, though.

The answer depends on a few things: - first, where are you coming from? If it's anywhere smaller than Toronto (i.e., Buffalo, London, Hamilton, Guelph, etc.), then definitely... Only Chi,Montreal and NYC are comparable (or superior) in the general vicinity... - you got money and a plan? Cuz...

This is overblown -- of course flaws can and will occur, but I don't think they're epidemic in the Flightposite 1 Retro's. Bottom line, if you didn't notice when you picked them up and bought them or when you wore them at first, they don't matter. If you want to caress the lines and details...

So will Canada/Toronto be getting the GR LeBron VI's at all? The dude @ Nike Bay/Bloor said it'd be in December. Is this so? If not, I recommend pickyourshoes.com or sneakerhead.com. Given the dollar's fluctuating value buying from US websites isn't as cost-effective as it wuz this summer...

This is a load of crap. I'm not saying drug dealing or whatever other unsavoury activities don't take place in parks, but is removing basketball hoopsreally the answer? I'll be honest, I don't know the area. But regardless, removing hoops may not remove the drug dealers -- but it WILL remove a...

I saw these today @ the Nike Store at Bay & Bloor. They're nice -- the tongue "CB4" logo is a bit mid-90's in a dated kind of way, and moreso than the number placement, I think the"4" would benefit from a black outline or something. Also saw the Brandon Roy Blue Chip PE's there. And the dude...

You gotta understand, it doesn't work both ways. America is an important country, and this election is especially important. The U.S. President is basically still the leader of the free world, and this is a big-time election for many, many reasons (beyond the obvious). Trust me, the whole...

NBA/Raptor Fans: Blame TSN2 AND Rogers. See, TSN2 has picked up a ton of NBA and Raptors' games this year -- but the greedy jerks haven't agreed on a negotiation thatallows Rogers to offer TSN2 to its subscribers. Which is complete BS, of course. FYI, TSN2 is owned by CTV Globe Media/Bell --...

Plan ahead, since it sounds like you're already doing so. Peep nowtoronto.com and eyeweekly.com a couple weeks before New Year's Eve. They'll both have all the club listings, and that way you can choose the type of music you wanna hear and the amount of money you wanna spend -- beforegetting...

I saw -- that is to say I seen -- them at the Nike Store on Bloor & Bay Street. They had Canada, Italy and Japan only, and a few generic-o colorways (red/yellow, et cetera). Interestingly, the backs of them zip up/down too -- so you can make your own hybrid windrunner of Canada/Italy if you...
