Basketball Diaries

Still not a lot of exciting blogging material at the moment. With the September being so warm I haven't needed to transition into more autumnal clothing or pick up anything new for the season.

I did however play basketball last night for the first time in months. I was invited by a friend to play with his work colleagues, and it was a really good game. Hopefully it's going to be a regular Monday night game, which would be awesome as I'll actually have a chance to wear some of the basketball shoes I have. I thought I'd keep it pretty low-key last night with my Penny Hardaway inspired Zoom Huarache 2k4 Nike ID's.

Countdown to the King

So things are a little slow at the moment with not a lot of exciting style going-ons to blog about. I'm hunting for some of the things on my most wanted list, but without much luck yet. So until I have something interesting to write about I thought I'd pass the time with some sneaker action.

Those of you who follow me on twitter know I have a habit of posting vintage Nike adverts. I've always loved adverts for shoes. When I was really young I used to tear out adverts from my Dads Runners World magazines and stick them on my bedroom wall, and I can still remember all the Nike & Jordan adverts that used to get shown during Channel 4's NBA shows. I spent years searching for the Nike Basketball Revolution advert until someone finally uploaded it to YouTube.

So as a countdown to LeBron's return to the Cavs for the new season I thought I'd post a retrospective of Nike's LeBron adverts over on my twitter. The Nike basketball site used to have a ton of LeBron adverts and pictures, and being the shoe nerd I am I saved a bunch of them. So hit the link on the right hand bar to head over to my twitter and get ready for some LeBron goodness, starting way back at the Zoom Generation 12 years ago...
