I've waited for the release of these Retro Air Jordan XIII All Star/Playoffs here in the Philippines. Had the OG's back in 1998 -- my first pair of J's that I ever owned -- I simply needed a fresh pair. I didn't get the original box 'coz the J's were in a balikbayan box when a relative came home to the country all the way from Chicago.

In line with The Black Mamba premiere and in time for the NBA All-Star Weekend, Titan opened their new store at Ronac Art Center in San Juan. After checking out Kobe Bryant's movie, sneakerheads trooped to Titan to cop the new releases there. From Air Jordan 2011 All-Star East and West CW's to KD3's, Melo's and Kobe All-Star CW's.

Midnight of December 23, Titan Barbershop officially launched the much awaited J's of 2010 -- the Air Jordan XI Cool Grey. I did post a little bit of heads-up about it here prior to it's release date. I got there barely 40 minutes before the stroke of 12 and I was just in time to take a few snapshots of the event.

Air Jordan VI Bulls Colorway to drop in June 2010

Another great Air Jordan release coming up in June.
Sneakerheads won't be missing these for sure.

These kicks are so gonna be copped! I've always wanted these when I was 12. Hope they drop here in the Philippines as a GR or General Release. The US release date is already confirmed though -- June 12, 2010.

Here's heads-up via NikeTalk:

The rumored released of the Air Jordan VI Infrared Pack had Jordan-heads in a total frenzy. In fact, when Sneaker News posted news of a possible confirmed release, over a hundred of our loyal readers chimed in. While there haven’t been any actual pictures of in-depth details, how about something that IS confirmed? Check out these pics of the Air Jordan VI Varsity Red and White colorway, set to drop in June. Some may bicker about the hue of the red color, but these are still an astoundingly gorgeous pair of Air Jordans that will clear off the store shelves rather quickly. If you can’t get your hands on the Infrared Pack, the White-Varsity Red joint would be a worthy replacement. via MarqueeSole.

Can't wait for June already. Ain't sleeping on them either.

It's Official: Air Jordan XI Space Jam on December 23.

The most coveted J's will drop in the US as a GR or General Release. Filipinos aren't stoked on the fact that the Space Jams will be dropping here in the Philippines as a Limited Release. Damn it! Only 60 pairs (or less, that's what I heard)?!! There goes my chances of finally copping my first ever Air Jordan XI's since it first came out 13 or 14 years ago. SMH!!!

My only consolation is that the Retro Air Jordan XII white/red colorway is a guaranteed cop. But then again, I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for some changes prior to December 23rd. If it does go on a limited release, then I can just camp out the day before the RD (release date) or hope for a re-stock of the J's on January 2010. I really want those J's so bad....

Epic.

It's gotta be the shoes, Money!

Dwyane Wade wants to be Jordan'd out. Literally.

The shoe game is ever changing these days. As I was browsing the net for some sports news, I stumbled upon something interesting -- and perhaps newsworthy for sneakerheads out there -- including myself. D-Wade finally jumps ship -- to a shoe brand, that is. I must admit though, it's a good move for him to make the switch.

The Miami Heat guard shares his thoughts on the move:

"When I came into the NBA, I didn't have a lot of exposure and Converse gave me an opportunity to head a brand and be the face of a brand," Wade told The Associated Press. "I'm really thankful for six long, good years. I've gotten five shoes out of the deal and my dream came true at the Converse brand, because they put my name on a pair of sneakers."

Still, the lure of the Jordan brand -- a 12-year-old division of Nike, which also owns Converse -- was too much for Wade to ignore.

Wade told The AP he inquired about switching allegiances from Converse to Jordan's brand before the 2008 Beijing Olympics, doing so in part about concern over Converse's long-term viability in the basketball marketplace.

The 2008 request was declined, but earlier this month, Wade said he was "almost positive" a switch would happen sometime before the season. Less than two weeks later, the deal was done.

"It did come sort of fast. It wasn't anything we planned," Wade said. "But it's a good thing. Now we can plan for the season."

Well, there you have it ladies and germs -- it's official now. Wade will be rocking J's next season. Spread the word. I'm sure Money (Michael Jordan) is absolutely thrilled to have D-Wade in his stable of Jumpmen like Melo, CP3, Rip and Sugar Ray, just to name a few.

In retrospect, he only had 1 Converse sig worth noting. I'm talking about his Wade 1's which are totally sleek and clean. The simplicity of the design was dope. The rest of the kicks that followed were just wack. The last shoe that came out, the Wade 4, was downright ugly. No wonder he dropped the 4's so he could rock his 1's again in the middle of the 08-09 NBA season.

With Wade's addition, JB better give him a signature shoe (please make it happen). While waiting for his own sig to come out, it would be dope to see him rock J's in Heat colorways. The only drawback is, his shoes won't be sold at a cheap price tag.
