AJF 20 Low
Jordan Brand’s next set of kicks in their Fusion series should definitely get sneakerheads talking. The AJF 20 Low combines the Air Force 1 and the Jordan XX. I am a big fan of the whole hybrid movement…minus the Dub Zeros, I just didn’t dig those. My favorite Jordan hybrid hands down is […]

K1x 187
Every kid dreams of making it to the NBA and having their very own signature sneaker. I remember drawing my own sneaker designs with my logo and jersey number on them.
Conventionally, one would have to drop massive buckets in the NBA to get their own sneaker, but the days of having to play […]

Congrats Ray! (photo. Michael Rozman)
Summertime for NBA athletes serves as a time for them to relax a little, work on their game, and get things done that would be very difficult to accomplish during an 82 game season.
Coming fresh off a chip with the Boston Celtics, Ray Allen was a two time winner this […]

A couple of weeks ago Andrew Katz and I shot up to Westchester County, New York for the NBA’s Rookie Photo Shoot/Media Day. Most of the 2008 Draft Class was in attendance wearing their new jerseys and taking photos for their first set of trading cards.
While I was up there I […]

Nike Flight Solo
If you’re into sneakers then you’re no stranger to the re-release. While sometimes the market is oversaturated with retro releases, usually when a old pair of kicks hit the scene again they demand for them is crazy.
This is no different with the Nike Solo Flight. Nike re-released these bad boys not too […]

With all the talk about the Knicks and Steph it got me thinking about Isiah Thomas. His GM and coaching moves have been under the scrutiny of fans and basketball analysts throughout his post-basketball playing career with the NBA.
Some say that because of all his GM moves and coaching follies mixed with the MSG […]

G-Shock Holiday Preview
I hit up the G-Shock Holiday Preview late yesterday to check out what Casio has in store for consumers in the upcoming months. Not to my surprise Casio is definitely bringing heat for the holiday.
Nothing really has changed about the G-Shock, I guess that’s why they have been doing their thing […]

NHL 2K9
Even though we deal in basketball down here at Dime, we do love our video games, especially the sports titles. Earlier today I went and checked out two titles dropping soon from 2K Sports; NHL 2K9 and the reigning king of basketball video games, NBA 2K9.
If you didn’t know already, hockey video games […]

Brandon Playing ‘Little Big Planet’
Last night I hit up Sony Playstation’s after party for their video game preview I attended earlier in the day. Held at NYC’s new hot spot Country Club, the after party was a video gamers’ dream.

The Last Guy
Earlier today I stopped by the super swank London Hotel to preview some of Playstation 3’s newest games.
The suite where the preview was held was filled with flat screen plasmas and a bunch of food. I was in heaven.
The first game I previewed is available on PSN (Playstation Network). ‘The Last […]

Most basketball players at some point in their lives write on their sneakers. Whether it is a quote, their number, or their nickname ballers have been tagging up their kicks for years.
