Happy New Year.....almost!

The MVPuppets unveiled their latest kicks....the much anticpated Kobe V Chaos and the Lebron VII X-Mas edition:



It was a debacle of a game (Bron's Cavs blew out the Lakers by 25, with Laker fans flinging their promotional foam hand giveaways onto the court). Two other noteworthy kicks were unveiled on Christmas day worth a look...



D-Wade's Alpha AJ 1's, and...



....Melo's Christmas edition PE M5.

Two kicks that will be creating waves the next two months...

Jordan Brand AJ VI Retro - Black/Varsity Red (Jan 2010 release)



Nike Foamposite - copper colorway (Feb 2010 release)



And just announced, two more quickstrikes per www.jumpman23.com....



Jordan Brand AJ VI Retro (Motorsports Edition - March 2010 release)



Jordan Brand Six Rings (Motorsports Edition - March 2010 release)

Well, I'll be away til the new year, so look for updates next week. Before I bid adieu, a glimpse at some stuff dropping fall 2010 (Retro)...







While most folks will beast over the Uptempo 97s, I'm more excited about the two original colorways of the Air Trainer Max 91. And, I am curious at the Air Icarus Extras (praying for OG colorways of those).

I hope Santa spoiled you rotten - may 2010 be a better year for all!

Looney For Lunar

After the success of the Lunar Racer & Lunar trainer in 2009, it's no surprise to see them for the new year. Here are some pics of some Lunar releases in 2010, courtesy of Kicks Hawaii.

LunarRacer 2 + and Lunar Rejuven8 Mid +



The upper of the new LunarRacer 2 looks like a cross between Free Trainer 5.0 upper and the LunarGlide. Looks like yet another solid shoe for the gym or intermediate run.

The Lunar Rejuven8 Mid+ is a mashup of the Lunaracer and Rejuven8. Aesthetically, it gives me a feel of the Zoom Kobe 3 with its waffle-like upper. I likey....

And if you didn't know, the White/Red AJ XII retros release tomorrow (general release)....



With Space Jams dropping next week and black/varsity red VIs dropping next month, things are heating up for Jordan Brand before the February debut of the AJ2010...

A Patta On the Back...

The fourth Patta Nike Air Max 1 collaboration drops tomorrow. It features a black upper of canvas & woven nylon with a White canvas Swoosh, chlorophyll green eylets, a white midsole, and a gum outsole. Of course, not stateside release....EU only. Aaargh....



And if you didn't catch the Mavs/OKC highlights last night (a loss by the Thunder, btw) Kevin Durant and several of his teammates busted out the "Creamsicle" KD2. Reminisce of the red/white Nike Air Maestro Low that Scottie Pippen rocked. I don't know how I feel about these; I like 'em.....and I don't.



Sneak peek - dropping Fall 2010, the Black 3M/Citrus Air Jordan IX. The OSneaker pics don't make these look hot at all, but I bet they look better in person.



I also came across these Sambas in a "Chicago" colorway. I absolutely love these...



And in case you didn't know, he did it again last night in Milwaukee. GW jumper in OT, 39 pts. MVP! (Away Gradient IV...yummy)

Flint Doin' Work

Good morning, folks! Welcome to the premiere of my blog "Coke No Ice", a tribute to my father's favorite drink. For those who don't know me, you will....I'm Flint.



I went to the Lakers/Bulls game last night at the United Center. Kobe did his work...42 points, with 20 in the first quarter alone. I had that 81-point feeling till he did nothing in the 2nd. He rocked the black splatter IV...I'm itching till next week when the Kobe V "Chaos" drops...



I wonder if he will rock for Christmas vs. the Cavs. Here's what Bron-Bron will be wearing:



More later...
