Creativity is King

Quick question: What could possibly be cooler than your roommate looking like Joaquin Phoenix?

Answer: 2009’s Air Jordan releases.

If I could tell you how many times I’ve sat around with friends and discussed our favorite J’s, I would. But due to severe short-term memory loss, things like that tend to slip the mind. Anyway, it’s a shit ton of times and personally, I always have the same answer. Obviously “The Three’s” (simply, as they’re known in the world of Sneaker Heads) are the best Jordan shoe ever released. People who dispute that, probably have never had the pleasure of owning them…which is a sad, sad thing. Well folks, here’s your chance. As my dude Kells posted earlier, the Nike Air Jordan 3’s will be released this August.

Gorgeous, aren’t they?

For the first time in a long time, these are finally going to be released singlularly, and not with a pair of the most hideous shoes ever released clinging to the side of them like a siamese twin…or as Nike chooses to call it – a Countdown Pack. Fortunately, the True Blue colorway is a classic scheme that’s perfect for summer and match-friendly to even the most skivish of wardrobes.

If it wasn’t sweet enough to see the Threes sell-out of every store that gets them this summer, Mr. Jordan decided to drop my second favorite shoe in the same damn year…Thanks Mike, I knew you had it in you.

I give you: The Air Jordan Twelves. I’m very excited to see these comeout. The All Black Nubucks were already released this summer but not to much avail for what I say, obvious reasons. Not because they’re not cool, because they really are. It’s actually because Jordan Brand is releasing the most classic colorways they’ve ever dropped only a few months later. The reason I’m so excited to see these is becasue I’ve never had a chance to own ‘em. But you can bet your ass I will.

Here’s pics of the three pairs of 12’s coming out this winter, equipped with approximated release dates. Cop the real hot Black/Varsity Red or the icy White/Varsity Red and I promise- you’ll never have to re-chef what I chef, Comprende? Ehh!
