William: A few months ago you could’ve still called me a sneaker fetishist. I own close to a hundred pairs of sneakers (yea, I know it ain’t actually that much, sigh), most of them Nike’s and Jordan’s (which is kind of the same) and the majority of my kicks are basketball related. There’s been a time where I had to buy the newest Jordan’s, no really, I had to. Times change, my style has changed and along with that I’ve overcome my addiction for fresh sole. There are moments I feel the relapse of course but those are lesser and lesser. Reason is, most of the kicks released in recent time are f***in’ ugly. Yea, I said it, excuse me if my polemic criticism bores you. It has all been said before, I know, but have you actually seen what Nike and Brand Jordan have been putting out recently? They are virtually challenging true sneaker enthusiast not fall in a deep depression caused by disgust. Take a look at this. Need I say more? Okay, one more. How about that? Oh well, just hit up your regular sneaker blog and for your sake, I really hope you agree with me.

Elmo: I don’t know how y’all feeling about these Nike hybrid products but for me they are killing the game. Looking a the latest Nike shoes it feels like looking at the product pallet of some faker. No originality, no inspiration, no creativity, no nothing. It’s just bad.
Instead of developing and creating new models all there is coming are retroed versions of this and that, Hybrids and other junk.
The Agassi Hybrids above are just an example.
For me the sneakergame has been really lame lately. Love will always be there but my passion is becoming less and less.

Elmo: Hmmm…I don’t know yet what to think of these AF1?! The collabo itself is a cool one but I think, I don’t feel the stars to much. But the lacelock and the sole is nice, nice, nice.
What do ya’ll think?

Elmo: The last numerically Jordans are the XX3 which came out in early 2008 but they do not end the era of one of the most afterthought sneaker series of all time.
Just in time for the new year the first pictures of a new pair of Jordans reached the surface of the web. The shoe is named Air Jordan 2009 and looks pretty cool. They are mostly white and black and feature a hologram. Release date is February 14th.

Elmo: One of my favorite graphic designer is Chuck Anderson also known as NoPattern. Just to get you a feeling how good he’s I name a few of his clients: Lupe Fiasco, Reebok and Nike. That should do it.
The purpose of the post is the fact that Mr. Anderson just released his second book. “Wandering Off Into the Space” includes a lot of his hottest designs and is a must buy for any fan of graphic design.
You can grap the book for just $25.
