Having trouble finding headphones that actually work in the gym? And by work, I mean they don’t fall, don’t blow out if they get sweaty and don’t cause a nuisance with their wires hanging down your torso? If you’re like me in this – not only can I NOT work out without music, but I am constantly searching for some good headphones to use – you should probably check out Jaybird’s Freedom Bluetooth Wireless Headphones.

As we inch closer to All-Star Weekend in Orlando at the end of this month, more and more special edition sneakers are being released. We attended the exclusive Air Jordan 2012 launch earlier this week, and we also showed you the new releases Nike Basketball has in store for their three top players.

Well, that was ridiculous. Jordan Brand always does it up big, and they did it again today. For those of you who missed our first post from earlier in the day when we revealed your first official look at the Air Jordan 2012, I’m chilling in Hoboken, New Jersey and attended the official launch earlier today. They drove us out to this private air hangar – the Teterboro Airport – that had an enormous Jumpman logo plastered on the side, and it was on.
