FINALLY! Been waiting since Jr. High for this one. →
Retro MANIA!!!
Maybe I’m just new to the shoe game but I’ve been noticing a LOT more Retros coming out. Last year we had the 12s, 13s, 2s, and highlighted at the end of the year by the Cool Grey 11s (SICK!). I was lucky enough to pick up a pair of each of those.
With this coming year it seems there’s even MORE Retros coming out! My wallet isn’t big enough for all of them so I’ve...

Games and Games and Games!!!
Games I’m most excited for:
- Dragon Age 2
- I played the first one and I thought it was really fun. It takes the normal RPG elements and adds a strategic side to it. Good times.
- Gears of War 3
- Ladies with chainsaw guns. ‘Nuff said.
- Rage
- This game won a lot of “Best Of” awards last year. Id software (best known for it’s work with the Doom series)...
Some Sneaker News from Sneaker News
This is really cute…99% of the girls I know won’t appreciate this. They should.

In other news this is one thing I definitely respect Kobe Bryant for.

In honor of the Retro 13 releases...
Yep. They are what you think they are. I wonder if these are real…
Here’s something for you to look at just because it’s awesome…
HAHAHA!
….
Now I’m really hungry.
Ridiculous...ly awesome
Dolce & Gabbana DU1362 Shoes…$400.
Gilbert Arenas actually wearing the shoes in an actual basketball game…priceless.
Maybe if he actually wore basketball shoes designed to protect his joints from impact he wouldn’t have to wear that brace in the first place. Oh well. That’s the price you pay for being Agent Zero…er, Nine.
Kobe V Wolf Grey
Just got these in recently. If you like Kobe Vs you gotta cop these.

I dreamt of a White Christmas...and it came true
I bought my very first pair of shoes at Nike since I started working there. Brandon took some pictures of them.
Introducing my first very first pair of Jordan Retro 3s
I had to get size 11.5 because it was the only pair we had…but they fit pretty well!
The new Retro 3s are also coming out soon. December 4th they’ll be dropping at both the Nike store in Scottsdale and on...

BF 2010 @ Nike
So I am about to call it a night and just wanted to share with you the crazy day(s) I just had. Let’s just say this might be the hardest working weekend I’ve ever had…
Thurs, 11:30pm-8:30am
I had to open the store. I was really excited for the day because I knew it would be crazy…but I didn’t realize how crazy. I got to work around 11pm because I wanted to be ready...

A lot of Hyperdunk 2010s came in the newest shipment as well as one more Kobe V colorway.
Black Friday at Nike Factory Tempe will be CRAZY!!! From Midnight til Noon we will be giving you 20% off your entire purchase. Then from 2pm-close I THINK we are having 40% off clearance items. I’m not sure about apparel but we have a few good clearance shoes still left.
Below are the Hyperdunk 2010...
SO. HOT.
OK so we’ve had these at the store for quite a while but I just now saw them again and I was reminded of how badly I wish I bought them before they ran out of my size.
Tempe Nike Shoe Shipment
It has recently been brought to my attention that I have a wonderful opportunity because I have such a direct access to a plethora of kix. I am going to try and update everyone on what we have new in stock at our store (the Nike Factory Store at Arizona Mills Mall)! I’m pretty excited about some of our new shoes and also I found some treasures in the back stockroom. If I get the chance to...

Blogging continues!!!
I think I’m going to start blogging more. Who will remember me if I don’t?!
So I’m pretty sure nobody reads (nor cares) about my shoe reviews. I guess it’s a disease I will suffer with by myself (although, from what I’ve seen, the disease is spreading pretty rapidly…). I am going to just start posting stuff about everything I like, but in particular I’d...

Jump Attack on hiatus!!!
There will be no updates on Jump Attack until further notice (hopefully no more than a week). I rolled my ankle on Saturday and it’s feeling pretty stiff.
Shoe Review: 1/2 Cents
I uploaded all these pictures for you to see because…well because these shoes are just so darn pretty! There are little things here and there that really catch my eye. The last picture I just find really awesome. Inside the right shoe on the heel area is a picture of Lil’ Penny. In case you don’t remember Lil’ Penny here are a couple videos so you can...
Jump Attack: Day 4
Today was a rough day…really rough day.
I decided to just see if I gained anything yet since the first measurement. I warmed up for about 10 minutes and then I went for it.
EPIC FAIL.
I was even lower than my baseline. I think maybe my legs are really tired? I don’t know. It sucks. It was really really really x infinite discouraging. But I trucked on today and finished every bit of...
Help Wanted
So…
If anyone could just leave me a comment or something about my problem that would be nice.
Here is a list of questions about Tumblr I need answered:
1. How do you leave comments on other people’s Tumblr’s?
2. What is “reblogging?”
I guess I only had 2 questions. Nonetheless, they need to be answered!
Jump Attack: Day 3
Day 3
Vertical - 30”
Today I had my first real setback. I guess it’s my own fault for having such high expectations but I was really thinking that I was gonna start seeing some gains immediately. As you can see my vertical is still a mere 30”. I warmed up, stretched, the whole 9 yards. I knew as soon as I took off that I wasn’t gonna be getting any higher. My legs are still...
Shoe Review: Air Jordan XII Retro
This is my first shoe review. Ever. As you probably know I am a pretty big fan of shoes. Lisa seems to hate it. Apparently I spend way too much money on shoes and probably not enough on her. Just kidding! Contrary to popular belief I don’t spend that much money on shoes.
I will be reviewing based on the things that matter to me about shoes. Comfort, aesthetics, and intangibles (rarity,...
Jump Attack: Day 2
First off, Happy Easter!!! Sorta…it’s definitely 3am as I’m typing this. It’s pretty late..or early. Today I didn’t make it to Sunrise Service. I’m kind of disappointed but I had a feeling I wouldn’t. If you know me at all you know that one of the things I hate MORE THAN ANYTHING (I don’t think I can stress this enough) is having to wake up early....
Jump Attack: Day 1
Day 1
Standing reach - 90”
Jumping reach - 120”
Vertical - 30”
I’ll be updating you on actual measurements once every other day. The actual leg/jumping portion of the program is only twice a week.
I was planning on having a video or something to show you guys but we forgot to do that in our haste. We got to the gym today around 12:50pm. I had to be at our girls...

OK. So this is my first Tumblr post…EVER. My buddy, Dillon, came over and reminded me that I had one and suggested that I start tumblr-ing. I really had no idea what I’m gonna talk about…but if you know me at all then there are a few things I REALLY love in this world (not including my family and friends…because that would be too obvious): Jesus, basketball, music, and...
