Out Of This World-Sneaker Community By Jmanny


The Air Jordan (black/bright concord-aqua tone) also known as simply the aquas, or air jordan aqua 8's were originally released in February, 1993, & only retailed for $125. Yea only $125 !!The upper of the shoe has a durabuck material, a material similar to nubuck in some ways. They also feature anti-inversion cross straps, poly carbonate torsion plate, air sole, and an inner sock similar to the Nike Air Huarache. These are said to be the heaviest of all Air Jordans, but trust me when i tell you, you dont really feel any real weight. Also they arent very breatheable, which is another way of saying that the heat from your feet, isnt easily realized from the shoe, which leads to perspiration, which leads to atheletes foot. This might be the reason why Michael Jordan himself suffured from atheletes foot during the 1992-1993 season. During the home games of this season, MJ would make a detour on the way to the stadium & give 4 tickets to the same 4 kids from a rough south side chicago neiborhood. During that time, no sneaker had a such a radical design , there is many things going on at the same time with this shoe. The shoe has 2 cross straps, which is said to symbolize bugs bunnies ears, because during that time the Jordan Brand & Looney toones had some sort of marketing skeeme. So this is why they Air Jordan 8's are sometimes refered to as the "Bunnies". Regardless of all that, this is one of my personal favorite sneakers of all time. You are sure to turn some heads with these on your feet. Peace & Kicks.

Ladies & gentemen, strap on your seat belts, Mr. Nike Air Yeezy himself is collaborating with the Jordan Brand ? Not so much, haha, there had been rumors that Kanye West would be doing a collaboration with the JB & everybody was hoping it was true, I mean come on, he designed Nike Air Yeezy's, imagine what hybrid he could come up with in the Jordan system. Kanye has previously stated that his favorite Air Jordans are the Aqua 8's, so who knows. But for now there is not collaboration, he himself stated in his blog, " I love Nike & I loved creating with them, but there hasn't been a conversation with the Jordan brand". He later went on to say that the Jordan brand & Nike Brand are 2 different companies. That not so true, the JB is sort of a little brother brand to Nike..... So unfortunately for now there is no collaboration, but who says that there wont b in the future.Peace & kicks - Jmanny

Seriously Out Of This World

Well as some of you shoes fanatics might now, the beloved Air Jordan 11(XI)-Space Jams, are one of this years retros of the Jordan Brand (JB). The name Space Jams, originate from the 1996 movie Space Jam, because His Airness Michael Jordan, wore them in the film.The shoes feature a black upper, with black patent leather. The Jumpman on the top of the shoe is varsity royal ( blue). The white midsole brings much attention to the shoe & the ICEY bottom , also knows as clear outsole is what makes the shoes wat it is. Sorry to inform some of you hypebeast out there, that this shoe is labeled as Quickstrike, ( if you dont know what that is, your not a real sneaker head & you dont deserve to be wearing these). They have a price tag of $175, & I don't know about you, but Im copin at least 2 pairs.Peace & Kicks - Jmanny
