An Epic Pair Of Jordan 6 Rings
Man there are so many Jordan Retro masterpieces. There is no way to single out just one pair of Jordan shoes for basketball and crown it the King of Jordans. However, when push comes to shove,the Air Jordan 11 just maybe the holy grail of Jordan shoes for basketball. Each and every colorway is revered by Jordanheads and sneakerheads alike. The "Bred", "Space Jams", "Cool Greys", and the "Concord" make up the dopest editions of any Jordan Retro line. There are absolutely no weak links here. This is a truly classic Jordan shoe and most likely the most popular among those who rock Jordans.
It is really no surprise then, that Jordan Brand would use the colorways of the Jordan 11 on one of it's most popular hybrids, the Jordan 6 Rings. The 6 Rings used the "Bred" colorway of the 11 on the first pair dropped in 2008. The Jordan 6 Rings "Cool Greys" were dropped just last year. In between both of these releases the Jordan 6 Rings used the epic colorway that has been dubbed "Concord".the north face jackets
After an 11 hiatus, the Jordan Retro 11 "Concord" will be releasing this December. Unless you have been living under a rock, you know this. Hot on the heels of the "Space Jams" in 2009 and the "Cool Greys" in 2010, the "Concord" are easily the most anticipated Jordan release of the year. This is a classic boy! For those in the know, no description of the shoe is really needed. But here you go anyway. The Concord's upper is the basic white striped 11 trimmed with black patent leather from the heel cup to the toe box. The legendary icy sole is now tinted blue. It really doesn't get any better than this. Plan to camp out the week of Christmas because this pair of kicks is dropping December 23rd.
It is quite apparent that the Jordan 6 Rings takes it's cues from the 11 Concord. The upper uses is the Jordan 11 and uses patent leather in the same manner the 11 does. The "Two 3" from the Jordan 12 is on the tongue, the heel loop and lace lock system from the Jordan 6, and the fuzzy Jumpman logo on top portion of the tongue from the Jordan 8 are all incorporated into the shoe. The icy sole is used here as well to finish off the shoe.the north face
The Jordan 6 Rings Concord will never surpass the Jordan 11 Concord design and colorway that it took from the original. Number one, it is not a Retro. Number two, the 11 Concord is an absolute work of art that can't be matched or duplicated.
An Epic Pair Of Kobe Bryant Shoes
There are many, many epic Nike shoes for basketball. With all the great players that have rocked Nike basketball kicks over the last 20 years, it is impossible to single out one shoe, and one shoe only, and label it as the most epic pair of Nike basketball shoes ever made. For sneakerheads, that is a very good thing. Actually, a great thing. The more epic signature basketball sneakers, the better. One of the truly epic Nike kicks is epic for more than one reason. The KobeV "Bruce Lee" is epic for a variety of reason: colorway, availability, and namesake.the north face jackets
Colorway-No other shoe, basketball, or otherwise looks this good in yellow. The Kobe V "Bruce Lee" is predominately yellow for a reason. The shoe replicates the the yellowbody suit worn by Lee in the movie "The Game of Death". Black accents on the upper and heel cup are used here while red accents are used in the formscratch marks that reside on the lower forefoot black forefoot accents. There isn't a nicer colorway out there on any signature sneaker.
Availability-These kicks were tough to get! Just by simply getting a pair of these shoes in your possession was quite a feat. The Kobe V "Bruce Lee" was a very limited release. Just a handful of House of Hoops locations accross the country made these available for purchase. They weren't available for very long. All it took was about an hour for these to sell out. If you weren't able to cop a pair when they dropped, there is still Ebay. A pair of these beauties will cost you around $250.
Namesake-The name says it all. As Kobe Bryant is to basketball, Bruce Lee is to martial arts. Legendary! There will not be another icon in martial arts that will ever eclipse Bruce Lee in popularity and the influence he had on his art. Bruce Lee's Hong Kong and Hollywood- produced films elevated the genre and himself to iconic status. His martial art style alone changed the way Americans viewed the Eastern-based martial arts. He singlehandedly changed the way the entire world viewed martial arts.high tops shoes
