Marcus Jordan Wants to Wear Jordans at His adidas Sponsored School

MaZe — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 16:58:48 +0000

Marcus Jordan, who's been known to flash his own PE Air Jordans, is set to play for the University of Central Florida this year. Besides the fact that his choice of UCF caught many people off guard, UCF is also an adidas sponsored program. Marcus' father, Michael Jordan, has traditionally not played well with adidas, or any other non-Nike/Jordan brand for that matter. Marcus has acknowledged the fact that he will wear his team's adidas apparel but, he will only wear Air Jordans on his feet. The thing is, adidas and UCF have a contract in place whereby both parties agreed to certain things. I am pretty sure that allowing players to wear Air Jordan sneakers is not in that contract. The situation has yet to be resolved and there is a potential for a breach of contract. Darren Rovell has the full story over at [CNBC]. If you were Marcus Jordan, what would you do?

Nike Zoom Tiempo x LIVESTRONG Dallas

MaZe — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 00:19:01 +0000

Nike’s design team worked with Lance Armstrong to create a Zoom Tiempo inspired by Lance’s hometown, Austin Texas. The Air Zoom Tiempo draws inspiration directly from the cyclists of Austin and one of the most iconic cycling stores in the world, Mellow Johnny's. The shoe also draws inspiration from the art bikes created to help raise funds and awareness for the Lance Armstrong Foundation this summer. Finally, it takes the iconic LIVESTRONG yellow and integrates it throughout the design of the shoe. Highlighted features include: * Juxtaposing soft premium oiled leather with aggressive anti-abrasive materials and black contrast stitching. The design is inspired by the two sides of Lance: The world’s greatest road cyclist and a man deeply connected with the culture of his sport. * “Texas” and “Austin” are boldly placed on the shoe heels. The stitches crossed on the words give an unfinished and rough touch. * Contrasting yellow and black sockliners build on the LIVESTRONG and Mellow Johnny’s bike shop theme. * The crafted STARKS laces with black aglets (tips) complement the refined, but aggressive, design. The Livestrong x Nike Air Zoom Austin Tiempo is available on October 24th, 2009 globally exclusively at Mellow Johnny's and Nike Sportswear at 21 Mercer. 100% of the proceeds go back to LIVESTRONG. A broader US release in November will also offer the other three Tiempos collaborated with cyclists from Paris, Berlin and San Francisco.
