Rockin' Js on their wedding day.

Congratumalations dude and best wishes Iris!

The takeover of The Gods continues with Titan opening its 4th store. This time right in the heart of Manila on Taft Avenue (a few blocks before De La Salle University). Now all you busy students in the university belt won't have to go far to cop some dope basketball kicks. Bye bye Cartimar. Hello Titan!

Y'all have seen the shoe wall at Urban Athletics, right?

Puma teamed up with fashion brand Alexander McQueen to bring to you its classic kicks with a classy twist. 

The video with the most views missed the MOST important part of the contest - "1-minute video of yourself TELLING the world why Titan is your number one destination for basketball kicks." (click HERE, scroll down and read everything again). No free Nike Air Foamposite One All-Star Galaxy for you. Sorry!

Okay, I got 17 videos so far. If you do not see yours below please email the youtube link to kingcrux@gmail.com. If you've been chillin' under a rock and missed THIS, you can still join by sending your entry before 6pm today (Thursday 5am EST). Yes, I'm giving away a pair of Nike Air Foamposite One All-Star "Galaxy" courtesy of Titan.  I will post more videos as they come so keep checking this site.

Did you notice how most sneaker websites were flooded with Nike news today? Sneaker News looked more like Nike News, Nice Kicks looked more like Nice Swoosh and Hypebeast was still, umh, hypebeast. If you're on twitter as much as I am and you follow the right people then you would've seen #NT Hall of Famer Russ Bengston tweet this shoe and a bunch of other interesting stuff.

I'd like to apologize in advance to my readers for this long entry. I went stupid and just copy pasted the press kit that was emailed to me. Don't worry though, you'll be smarter than me after you're done reading everything (not really). All I can say is Summer 2012 will be a good one. My body is ready for the Olympic Air Force 180 and More Uptempo. 

Enjoy!

They're here! They're here! I've been waiting for these babies since I saw the samples last year. WOO HOO!

They're happy. :)

Time to re-up on some Chucks and CONS. Nothing beats discounted sneaks!

2012 is proving to be an interesting year for shoeaholics. We've seen big sports brands leak (controlled leak) most of the good stuff that they'll be releasing this year. Now it's the turn of independent players to showcase their wares. Surprisingly, they got a lot of interesting styles and colorways. Here are some of my picks from Gourmet's Spring 2012 collection.

I don't remember the last time I enjoyed a full album of original instrumental joints. Maybe 2 or 3 tracks max from hit songs but not 28. 28! A-A-Alexander Spit.

With all the international fashion brands and buyers in Las Vegas for the MAGIC trade show, Puma decided to join the fun by launching its new partnerships with Mercedes GP Petronas and BMW Motorsport at the Performance Motorsports Garage. The move beefs up Puma's presence in motorsports providing racewear for both teams the same way they've been lacing up Ducati and Ferrari.

The event featured performances by Diplo, Santigold, Meek Mill and showcased the Puma Motorsport Fall 2012 collection. Something to look forward to especially for local car enthusiasts since there are more Filipino Mercedes Benz/BMW owners than Ducati/Ferrari.

So what can we expect when the NBA heads to Orlando, Florida for the 61th NBA All-Star Game? That's right. All-Star kicks!  Starting with this - the adizero Rose 2.5 "All-Star."

You know how most "sneakerheads" are also into something else? Like toys, cars, watches, comic books, etc. It's the same thing with the folks behind Gourmet Footwear. The fine craftsmanship that went into producing these fine automobiles are on the same level as what Gourmet has to offer.

If you're a fan of reigning NBA MVP Derrick Rose, the Chicago Bulls, red basketball kicks or if you simply love your mama then these babies are perfect for you. The Three Stripes drops adiZero Rose 2.5 in a vibrant red colorway inspired by his mom Brenda.

10 years ago I decided to use my graffiti name on the best sneaker website in the world. I figured nobody would remember the tags I put up all over Metro Manila. This was a few years after I floated on Nike Park (not the store but the OG #NT) then #NT as "all-in-check" and "swooshdome." Lame I know because Swoosh is not a check and the second one sounds like a sexual act sponsored by Nike. 20,000 plus posts later and #NT still remains to be my number one online destination. Sorry facebook! (that $100 billion sounds good, though)
