Before I start the recap, I would like to say thanks for all the people in Houston that treated my friends and I like family out there. Kadoma (Htown Sneaker Summit), Adam (SportsRappLive), Bun B, Dj OakCliff,Dj Tito, Merrick (Two In The Shirt), Lauren Luna (Artist Luna)
Now let the recap begin
I was recently looking up videos of the daytime talk show "The View" on You Tube for reference for a project I'm working on. One of the videos that came up during the search had Donald Trump as a guest discussing Pesident Obama. Whoopi Goldberg is talking & the camera pans out I noticed she's wearing the Jeremy Scott "JS Wings" Adidas. I did a quick Google search to see if other sites had video or pics of this because I simply hate to blog old news. It seems that other sites talked about her wearing them but they all linked it with Chris Brown wearing them also while having a fit on Good Morning America. Below is the video of the actual episode along with pics.
Nike Dunks return this fall in 2 colors, Black & Bronze. The Dunks are made of premium leather & will sport an enlarged swoosh.
Ok so the title might be slightly misleading. K-Swiss isn't endorsing our favorite type of ninjas. You know the silently deadly kind that disappears in smoke, throw shurikens & can kill a room full of armed men with just a short sword and dagger? Well it's not them or the Teenage Mutant kind. K-Swiss will be endorsing the winner of the G4 channels popular show, "American Ninja Warrior".
The winner will win a $500,000 K-Swiss endorsement contract along with becoming the face of a nationwide advertising campaign for K-Swiss. NBC will televise the season finale of “American Ninja Warrior,” G4’s biggest and most successful original program to date, Monday, August 22, with a two-hour primetime special, beginning at 9 pm ET. The special will feature the American competitors’ final stage of their journey as they head to Japan to take on the world’s toughest obstacle course.
I decided to post video's of various sneakers worn in television & films.
For my 1st S.I.M (Sneakers In Media) post I decided to go with a show that's a little more obscure. Many of us have spotted sneakers in various shows such as "A Different World", "Seinfeld", "Martin" & "The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air". How many of us can say we spotted a popular sneaker in Star Trek?
No, not the Captain James T Kirk Star Trek. This is the Borg fighting, 7 of 9 is the best thing on t.v having, Star Trek Voyager. Not only does this episode have a popular sneaker, it has the sneaker being worn by The Peoples Champ - The Rock & the lovely 7 of 9!!! Below you can watch the two fight while wearing Nike Flightposites in the Feb, 9th, 2000 Voyager episode titled "Tsunkatse"
Actress Jeri Ryan (7 of 9) Flightposites were auctioned on Ebay by California based screen used entertainment memorabilia dealer ItsAWrap, with the rest of her costume for $1,325 on June 29th of 2007. The modified Nike Flightposites have a blue light attached to each side that is each powered by a single 9Volt battery. The battery, electronics and switch are housed in the back of each shoe in a black Velcro pouch. One can only wonder what happened to the Rock's pair.
