Nuggets vs OKC Thunder Game #4

2011-04-25T18:30:00.000-06:00

it is clear that the Denver Nuggets since the trade had become one of the best teams in the NBA. Tonight they are facing the OKC Thunder with the series 3-0 OKC. I have faith in The Denver Nuggets and think pour team can make history. After the trade I felt upset and didn't have any faith in the team, but as results stats and games won I gave it a second thought and feel we can get a come back. At the last home game I noticed some true Sonic fans lol. Well lets just say I hop they are at tonights game to put some of the pressure on OKC. Below is a post from there blog for you to check out. Lets go Nuggets!

Sonics fans refuse to forgive or forget that their team was stolen from Seattle, and almost 3 years later, they continue to show the same passion for the team that had Key Arena rocking with every Gary Payton to Shawn Kemp alley-oop, and every Ray Allen swished three. Many Sonics fans from all over the country and world donated money to send the Sonicsgate (sonicsgate.org) crew, backed up by a couple 206 Hoops guys, to represent for them in Denver at the nationally televised Nuggets vs. OKC Thunder (the stolen team) playoff game. Here is a photo recap of how it went down

Mural Project x Wonderland

2011-04-15T14:58:00.000-06:00

Over spring break the schools hall ways are filled with nothing but silence, no kids screaming or running, just silence. How ever over at Columbia Middle School in Aurora CO it was time to start on the long awaited mural project for the upcoming musical *Wonderland* a spin off of Alice In Wonderland. So this means I would need to gather up a team I could rely on and commute to dedicating there time and volunteer some of there talents. So I called family members and a couple of crew members from local NC, Lordz Of Finesse and UAS crews. Fienz, Buss and Pheud came down to show support along with my children to dedicate time and contribute to the mural project. Considering the time slots we had to work with, the project took about 4 days in and out. It was good to catch up good vibes and share a wonderful mural by giving to the community. Thanks Columbia, hope the school enjoys the mural. We all need to always conceder are talents as a giving tool and not just as a money tool. Thank you all Columbia Middle School staff for being supportive.

Columbia Middle School students sends us out a thank you card! Much appreciate it and thank you all.

2011 NBA Playoffs Nuggets vs Thunder

2011-04-14T14:16:00.000-06:00

We been telling you all since the beginning of the season that The Denver Nuggets and The OKC Thunder are the hottest teams in the NBA! Not to mention the BEST in the WEST. The Nuggets and Thunder will battle it out first round of the NBA 2011 Playoffs. my prediction is, the team that wins this battle will be the *NBA Champs* of 2011. The East has Chicago D. Rose, but the West has nothing to worry about, Le bron and Miami won't make it that far, Boston is key in the East as well, but since the trade, they been taking a L. All Star team players are a memory, its about the entire team now. Till then let the games begin! Lets go Nuggets

If you can find this and send the info under comments we will love you for ever!
Prized by its ease of cultivation (it is a form of “weed” after all) and the myriad of usages, hemp was once the most abundant crop in United States. That was till 1930s when U.S. government categorized it with its more potent cousin, marijuana, and made the cash crop illegal. Today, facing economic hardship and being environmentally conscious, there is a ardent push to legalize the crop once again.

While its legalization is still in flux, Japan’s BAPE (A Bathing Ape (BAPE) ) have took upon itself and created it NEONCAMO Hemp Accessories Collection. Resilient and lightweight, each of the 4 models within the collection are imprinted with outlines from BAPE’s trademarked NEONCAMO print. Lined with nylon on the interior to keep its content dry, the NEONCAMO Hemp Collection comes in 4 forms: messenger bag and day pack for Men, and 2 totes, in large and small sizes, for Women. Available now at all BAPE retail locations in Japan, its official online store, and the recently opened BAPE LAND chapter on ZOZOTOWN shopping network.

Just In x Marz x Imac

2011-03-02T11:51:00.005-07:00

It's a wonderful day in general and in technology! Today I received my iMac and I can not explain how good it feels to have it in my hands! Here now I can finish working on some underground projects I have been at for some time now, but nine the less it's here! Below are a few pics and features of the computer. I recommend you invest in something serious just as I did lol.

Features
Built-in SD (Secure Digital) Card Reader

The built-in SD slot allows the iMac (Mid 2010) and iMac (Late 2009) to read and write data to SD media. The slot accepts cards that are Standard SD (Secure Digital) 4 MB to 4 GB and SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) 4 GB to 32 GB. The iMac (Mid 2010) adds support for SDXC (Secure Digital Extended Capacity) cards of 32 GB and larger. For complete information on the SD card slot, see About the SD card slot.

Built-in microphone

The internal microphone operates independently from all other audio input ports and is always available. The internal microphone supports recording at bit depths of 16, 20, or 24 bits per sample and at sample rates of 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, or 96 kHz. Audio recorded from the microphone is presented as a stereo data stream with the same data on both the left and right channels. You can adjust the microphone gain from -16 dB to +30 dB.

Built-in iSight camera

Video chat using iChat over a broadband connection, take pictures using Photo Booth, or capture video through iMovie HD. The camera has an indicator light that glows when the iSight camera is in use.

Slot-loading optical disc drive

The SuperDrive can read CD-ROM, photo CD, audio, and DVD discs. It can write to CD-R, CD-RW, DVD±R, DVD±RW, and DVD±R Double-Layer (DL) discs.

Built-in infrared (IR) receiver for Apple Remote

The infrared-based Apple Remote (sold separately) works with the built-in IR receiver for use with Front Row to access DVD Player, iPhoto, iTunes, and QuickTime Player.

I/O ports
Apple Mini DisplayPort video port

Using the Mini DisplayPort video output port, mirror video or extend the size of your Mac OS X desktop (extended desktop mode) with a compatible DVI (Digital Visual Interface) display or VGA (Video Graphics Display) or projector using the appropriate Mini DisplayPort adapter:

For Single Link DVI displays, use the Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter (MB570Z/A).
For Dual-Link DVI displays, use the Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter (MB571Z/A).
For VGA displays or projectors use the Mini DisplayPort to VGA Display Adapter (MB572Z/A).
Video mirroring

With video mirroring, you can see the image that is on the iMac flat-panel display on an external monitor, television, or projector.

Extended desktop mode

Connect an external display and use that area in addition to the built-in display for your desktop.

Audio output

The iMac (Mid 2010) supplies an audio signal from the Mini DisplayPort. For this feature, use Mini-DisplayPort to HDMI adapters that conform to the VESA v1.1a DisplayPort Interoperability Guidelines.

The Mini DisplayPort video port on the 27-inch iMac also supports video input from DisplayPort compliant sources.

Target Display Mode

Use the 27-inch iMac display as an external display for another computer, like a MacBook Pro. Return to the iMac screen by pressing Command + F2 on the keyboard. Note: Requires Mini DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort cable or a converter that converts other electrical, video and audio protocols to DisplayPort compliant signals. Read more about using this feature in Using a 27-inch iMac as an external display.

Ethernet port (10/100/1000 Base-T)

The iMac (Early 2009) has a built in Ethernet port for 10Base-T/UTP, 100Base-TX and 1000Base-T Gigabit operation. You can connect your iMac to an Ethernet cable from a cable or DSL modem, hub, switch, or router, or to another Macintosh computer.

The connected device can be either a 10Base-T, 100Base-T or 1000Base-T device; the port automatically detects which type of device is connected. You don't have to use an Ethernet crossover cable to connect to other Ethernet devices.

Four USB (Universal Serial Bus) 2.0 ports

The back of the iMac (Mid 2010) and iMac (Late 2009) has a total of four USB 2.0-compliant ports. You can connect both USB 2.0- and USB 1.1-compliant devices to these ports. The USB 2.0 ports support both low-speed, full-speed, and high-speed data transfers, up to 1.5 megabits per second (Mbit/s), 12 Mbit/s, and 480 Mbit/s respectively.

The aluminum Apple keyboard has a USB hub with two high-speed USB 2.0 ports.

All the USB ports use USB Type A connectors, which have four pins each.

Audio line input/optical digital audio input port

Line input

The analog line input operates independently from all other audio input ports and is always available. The line input supports recording at bit depths of 16, 20, or 24 bits per sample and at sample rates of 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, or 96 kHz. Audio recorded from the line input is presented as a stereo data stream. You can adjust the line input gain from -16 dB to +30 dB.

During input of a 1 kHz, 1 VRMS (-3 dBFS) sine wave (44.1 kHz input sample rate, 24-bit sample depth, 0.0 dB input gain, no weighting) the audio line input has the following nominal specifications:

Jack type: 3.5 mm (1/8-inch) stereo

FSI – input sample rates: 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, or 96 kHz
Bits per sample: 16, 20, or 24
Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR): >130 dB
Total harmonic distortion + noise (THD+N): <-130 dB (0.0003%)
Sound output/digital audio output port

Line/Headphone output

The headphone output is automatically selected for audio output if no external S/PDIF optical digital output device is detected. The headphone output supports a stereo data stream at bit depths of 16, 20, or 24 bits per sample and at sample rates of 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, or 96 kHz. The headphone output volume can be adjusted from 0.0 dB to -64 dB.

During playback of a 1 kHz sine wave at -3 dBFS voltage level, 24-bit sample depth, 44.1 kHz output sample rate, 100 k load (unless otherwise specified) the audio output has the following nominal specifications:

Game 2 with Out Carmelo Anthony Denver #win

2011-02-25T10:29:00.003-07:00

Last nights the Denver Nuggets game against the East number 1 team Boston Celtics was one of the best games I have watched in a Long time. The Denver Nuggets are a new team with a few players left who have shown in last nights game that they are ready to play. Who knows...maybe these guys will make it to the play offs, they sure did play like a playoff team last night. For any Nugget fan, change is always hard to except, but I feel after these last two games we still got our fans with or with out Melo. The fans supported the Denver Nuggets, we all want to see progress in the team...lets go Nuggets and keep these wins continuously. We are tied in 5th place in the best West. Lets see how our team and coack Karl build. *interesting*

Rev Run x RUN DMC x Denver

2011-02-24T10:50:00.004-07:00

So on the day the Rev Run came to Denver it was a interesting journey. Woke up at the crack trying to find some one to car pool with since *some of us have excuses* to not want to go or listen or meet Rev Run, I had to find my way to Down town to make it happen. Was waiting for a few text messages and while doing that fell back a sleep zzzzz...yea I know! So I woke up a few hrs later realizing it was already 11:00am OH SNAP! Jumped up.. checked phone it was full of text messages asking if I was going to see the Rev...OF CORSE! I still had not got any one to car pool with me..again *some of us have excuses* anyway....so I knew I had to make it happen like i usually do.

My cousin is in the military and he once told me about when he was in boot camp they have this training that disciplines you to take 2 min showers...so yea I did just that *military shower* in 2 mins seriously! BUT since I had no one to CP with I had to call a cab to drop me off at 9 Mile light rail station that would take me in to down town on campus. After I got ready cab shows around 11:45 am The show is set to start at 12:00 pm *yea rigt* NOW we all know that usually means 12:30 pm so I had 30min to spare. Time went by fast and hopped on the light about 12:05 pm. Meanwhile my phone is blowing up with text messages *where are U/ Is Gino coming? /What are u wearing? /Can u pick up the kids and so fourth...I think u get the picture lol.

So I arrive at the campus at 12:30pm A couple of good friends had offer to save a seat for me so I was cool with that. Right as I walk in the door I don't see any one of my friends *worried* turn to my left and my BF Madi comes around the corner and says here come with me...FRONT ROW! what! are u serious wow...I was impressed. At the moment the show just started so I was right on time lol. The first pic I took was of the Rev's Adidas lol

The point of this memory is that Rev Run has always been a HUGE inspiration in my life and I am syre your life with music blasting and know words of wisdom. I just like to say everything happens for a reason and in this case GOD allowed me to be in the right place at the right time. What I learned from the Rev that day was to continue walking a positive path, live out the dream even if it might take you to a different direction, it still is your dream to do so and to stay ahead of the game, be different, we don't need a record label, they need us so put your self out there with all the technology we have today and let them witness and see your talent & maybe they will come to you.

Kim Kardashian x Prince

2011-02-08T23:30:00.007-07:00

I have always mention how we admire Prince for his musical talents and for many other reasons, well lets just say he added one more thing I can admire to his list. At a recent show Prince called up Kim to com eon stage and shake her money maker, well during that moment Kim froze out of shock so Prince brushed her off stage and walked away lol...but when it comes to Prince, this is no Ray Jay LMAO! Kim Kardashion later Tweets “I was so nervous I froze when Prince touched me!!! later posted a picture to follow.

I first heard about the event it was via Twitter Questlove of The Roots, I actualyly RT it right when it happened..lets don't forget Prince asked Questlove to come and represent a few sets on the drums, but Quest did his thang keeping his drum talent alive. Prince has that effect on woman tho...what can I say lol.

NIGO Opens Up About BAPE

2011-02-08T23:06:00.002-07:00

In my opinion this was a great move for Nigo. In the article below they stated he will continue to work with Pharrell Williams on his Billionaire Boys Club Ice Cream brand that is separate from Bape, so it's a win for him in the long run, can't waite to see what the future holds on P's brand.

TOKYO — Nigo, the fashion and music impresario who founded Japanese street label A Bathing Ape, openly admits he’s never really had a head for business. That partially explains why Hong Kong-based retailer I.T Ltd. managed to snap up 90 percent of his company Nowhere Co. for just 230 million Japanese yen, or $2.8 million at average exchange rates. The company, which owns the brand known as Bape, has posted losses for the past two fiscal years and has racked up its share of debt.
Although Nigo downplayed the severity of Nowhere’s financial situation — even to the extent that he denied the company is actually losing money — he acknowledged that dealing with the administrative side of running a business has never been his strong suit.
“The company itself wasn’t in a very dire situation, but in the end I spent so much time looking after the management side that I wasn’t really able to do design,” he told WWD during an interview at his personal atelier, packed with what is only a portion of his extensive collection of vintage toys, art, pop culture artifacts and designer furniture. A statue of Colonel Sanders greets visitors at the entrance, and the space downstairs houses no less than a vintage Coca-Cola vending machine, a jukebox, a giant Apple Computer logo sign in neon lights and a series of paintings by New York-based artist Kaws featuring the Simpsons characters with missing eyes.
“Basically, I can’t do business. I’m not suited for it. I wish I had had a partner on the business side from the beginning,” said a surprisingly upbeat Nigo, whose real name is Tomoaki Nagao. The music and fashion impresario said he always thought he would sell the company he incorporated in 1995.
“I turned 40 [last December], there was the turning point of the brand reaching nearly 20 years since its establishment, and I think I made a forward-looking choice,” he said, acknowledging the brand’s popularity in Japan has faded in recent years. “About two or three years ago the brand and the company got too big for me to handle, plus there was the problem with the economy, and the number of things I wasn’t able to control on my own increased, so I started looking for a partner.”
Nigo said sales for the year ended Aug. 31 totaled about 5 billion yen, or $55.5 million. He said sales peaked in the 2006 to 2007 period, when Nowhere was registering an annual volume of about 7.5 billion yen, or $63 million.
In April 2009, Nigo stepped down as president and director of Nowhere in an effort to bring in more formal management, but that was a short-lived arrangement and he resumed his role at the helm of the company only a few months later.
I.T has said Nowhere posted a loss of 267.43 million yen, or $2.78 million, for the fiscal year ended Aug. 31, 2009, and a loss of 119.05 million yen, or $1.32 million, for the year ended Aug. 31, 2010. Dollar figures were converted at average exchange rates for the periods to which they refer.
But Nigo expressed a different take on the numbers. “The accounting base is different, so I don’t think we made a loss. It’s difficult [to say]. But I never missed payments or delayed paying employees’ salaries,” he said, adding he’s kept his personal fortune and the company’s coffers separate.
Nowhere had net liabilities of 1.25 billion yen, or $13.88 million, as of Aug. 31. Also, I.T is taking on about 4.31 billion yen, or $52.79 million, of Nowhere’s outstanding bank loans and shop leases.
“I definitely didn’t want to file [for bankruptcy] under the Civil Rehabilitation Law, and I didn’t want to damage the brand,” Nigo said. “I had a strong feeling that I wanted the brand to survive, so the main thing was thinking what to do about that. I spent 20 years building it up, so it would be a real shame for it to disappear.”
As for the future of Bape, Nigo thinks I.T is the best company to grow the brand. Over recent years, Bape’s popularity has grown tremendously in China, even as the buzz has died down in Japan.
Nigo has agreed to serve I.T as Bape’s creative director for an initial period of two years, but he said he hopes his involvement continues beyond that.
In addition to his new role in I.T’s Nowhere, Nigo said he would continue working on his other projects, including his partnership with singer-producer Pharrell Williams on the Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream brands, which are part of a separate venture.

A Bathing Ape x Gizmobies iPhone 4 Cases

2011-02-08T00:26:00.005-07:00

This is such a great moment to finally get a Bape iphone case. I always say, good things come to those who wait & not only have I waited for Verizon to get the iPhone, but I have always waited for Bape to release a official iPhone case vs the cheesy bootleg ones people sell on ebay. So my cart is ready for purchase along with the iPhone AND not to mention my custom icons based off of Bape haa...what great news!

Established last year to create sleek iPod protector cases, Gizmobies has just announced the release of a hoard of new cases designed to safely house the iPhone 4. Each of the new designs has been created in conjunction with BAPE, who lend a series of their signature prints to the project. In familiar BAPE style, different designs will release at different stores, with the most vibrant being reserved for Nigo’s Favourite Shop, a Japanese members-only store. Fans can expect the first few releases to hit stores from February 11.

Christina Aguilera We Still Love You

2011-02-07T01:58:00.007-07:00

This is not a big or deal in the United States, There are so many things that can happen and we talking about Christina Aguilera messing up on some lyrics to a dam song! Pleeeez...It happens life goes on! For those who did not see the performance, u can click the link below, personally couldn't tell if she messed up or not. James Brown says words in his music and I'm like huh? So I am sure Christina was in the moment and was feeling it that much she might have messed up.

The star later apologised for her slip-up, telling CNN: 'I got so lost in the moment of the song that I lost my place.'
She continued: 'I can only hope that everyone could feel my love for this country & the true spirit of it's anthem still came through.' Viewers at home were quick to take to Twitter to point out Aguilera's slip-up, I guess that's just what we do?

But what she sang instead, as over 100 million people watched, was 'Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, What so proudly we watched at the twilight's last gleaming.'
That error matches one that used to exist on the Wikipedia entry for the Star Spangled Banner Lyrics.

B-Girl Adore * Local Love

2011-02-04T00:27:00.007-07:00

Her real name is Najah Adore Jada Archuleta born and raised in Colorado. She started dancing at the age of 5. Najah was first inspired by her father Marz who has play a huge part in the Hip Hop comunity with his breaking, music and artistic skills. Her father is also her teacher and knows the knowledge & discipline of the dance to pass the torch on to B-Girl Adore with love. Adore also has her older brother who breaks and goes by the name of Ken Fury for even more inspiration, these influence her to understand what it takes to be a professional dancer.

One of her favorite dancers is B-Boy J- Styles, Adore says one of her goals is to one day perform on the same stage as him & represent for there generation of B- Boys/Girls.

Bathing Ape Lets Go Of It's Brand

2011-02-03T15:10:00.003-07:00

Planet of the apes was Nigo's inspiration for his brand Bathing Ape, it all started with one coffee shop then grew in to a spread of hair salons *Bape Cuts* then became one of the world successful independent clothing brands to hit. Nigo aka Nigoldeneye is a very huge inspiration to Graffiti Language following his set trend of Baby Milo characters, the brightest and sickest sneakers and with clothing that fits but cost a pretty dollar. Recent news tells a few days ago, the street and fashion world was met with the shocking sale of over 90% of A Bathing Ape and its parent company NOWHERE to Hong Kong fashion conglomerate for minute sum of less than $3 million USD. In an article by Neojaponisme‘s W. David Marx, he parlays his own personal experience with A Bathing Ape and details its subsequent up and down success over the last 10 years which ultimately led to the sale of the brand.

Many have speculated as to why the brand was sold for so little, however the Wall Street Journal painted a sobering picture in regards to how it is now in possession of NOWHERE’s ¥2.6 billion JPY (approximately $32 million USD) in debt. Looking back at Marx’s article, he speaks about the downfall of BAPE, it’s slight resurgence thanks to Pharrell Williams, and its relationship possessed between A Bathing Ape and the Chinese market. Ultimately, the sale of such a defining piece of Japanese fashion will leave many uneasy but then again, the Japanese economy has been slumping for some time. With ageism becoming a defining factor in its lack of progression on a corporate level, there seems to be larger issues than just the sale of a popular fashion brand. Excerpts can be seen below while the full article is seen here.
With that being said we hope this was a good move on Nigo's end and we are sure he may have some tricks up his sleeve. Stay Tuned

Kobe Vs Air Marz 3D Sneakers All Star Weekend

2011-02-02T20:57:00.010-07:00

So we have been informed that NIKE is going to release a 3D Sneaker in the 2011 All Star Game under basket ball All Star Kobe Bryant's shoe brand. The true artist & sneaker heads across the globe that know Marz Macchio & his work know he released the first 3D sneaker with 3D glasses in November of 2010 released to the public and shared the concept and idea at a local event in Denver called Shoe Shine. The event is based around custom shoes sponsered by Nike to support artist trying to make there trade mark with original shoe ideas and concepts.

Nike has contributed shoes for Shoe Shine the last 5 years, it wouldn't surprise us that a few reps from Nike probably came to the event & saw Marz Macchio's concept/idea for the 3D sneaker and ran to Nike head quarters to get the concept going. *JUST A THOUGHT * Now with all the trillions of dollars Nike has to release such a shoe, why not pick the perfect moment, time and place to do so...the NBA biggest day...The All Star Game. People who will attend this game will be given a air of 3D glasses to view Kobe Bryant's 3D shoe in LA.

It's time like this when artist are left in a struggle and labeled *starving artist* working day in and out trying to come up in the game with amazing art concepts and ideas. Any or all artist/brand names should continue to stand up to cooperate America brands like Nike and keep our artist with our brands and life style. We respect the Nike brand and all, but there are other labels/brands in 2011 who have done it all by supporting artist like myself who just want to give more creativity to humanity and contribute creativity in the world.

Such brands labels as, Johnnny Cupcakes, Billionaire Boys Club Ice Cream, Bape Play Cloths and so on. In all reality if we can't help each other build our own empire, we will always see situations like this one. This is why we choose to support boutiques like local favorite Family Affair because they understand the brands life style and honors what the community request *fashion at it's best* the brands carry and define the people who see and believe in the life style. The 3D sneaker concept is just 5% of Marz Macchio's creative mind and ideas are. We know there is some one out there who will find and believe in Marz and bring the his unique original ideas to life. Marz's netowrk search continues, but for now we will grow, spread love & support to all artist knocking at the doors of opportunity.

*On a SAD note* It is what it is and Kobe will be recorded to release the worlds first 3D Sneaker. Reminds me of Sugar Hill Gang when they release Rappers Delight, it was HUGE for Hip Hop. Back then we didn't know the true history behind who wrote lyrics for Sugar Hill Gang, but now we know it was MC Grandmaster Caz. Similar situation you might ask..?..well if you attended Shoe Shine Five 2010, it's recorded thatMarz Macchio/ Air Marz was the first to put out the worlds first 3D sneakers. It will come out starting today and from many other readers who show support. Try and put your self in there shoes...what would you do to keep true history alive?

We believe Marz Machio & Air Marz has a few tricks up there sleeve. With that being said life as a artist is still in the works & never giving up.

In GOD we trust.

2011-01-25T15:55:00.002-07:00

Now I'm talking about planning ahead so this may be a choice in my future pick for a car. This Ferrari is capable of hauling the kids around but not ready to give up on your dream of a red Ferrari sitting in your garage? Meet the 2012 Ferrari FF ($TBA). Boasting a striking design that somehow manages to look like an offspring of Maranello yet still finds a way to sneak in four seats and a rear hatch, the FF also sports several firsts for the label of the prancing horse, including a part-time all-wheel drive system and an all-new 6.3-liter V12 good for 651hp, a 0-62 time of 3.7 seconds, and a top speed of 208 mph — all the more reason to remind your youngsters to buckle up.

Michael AIR Jordan Truth Behind The Jumpman Logo

2011-01-17T23:26:00.015-07:00

The Jumpman

This is one of Nike's first advertisements before the release of what we call the WORLDS most popular shoe, Air Jordan. This moment and time when this concept for the photo shoot was taking place I was still rocking shell toe Adidas, Michael's first choice in shoes.. bet you didn't know that. I am proud to say I have this original poster since the day it was released. This logo is one of the most recognizable logos known to man.

For almost 20 years now the Jumpman has been selling sneakers, shirts, hats, socks, wrist bands, back packs, and anything else Nike could attach a Jumpman to.

Slap a Jumpman on a dried up piece of dog crap and i'll bet you that #%*@ will sell!

But this didn't happen overnight...

Let's travel back to 1984 and re-trace the path of the now Infamous Jumpman logo.

The Jumpman logo is actually a silhouette of studio photograph of Mike performing a ballet move, not an actual dunk as the image suggests.

Here's part of an interview with HOOP Magazine from April of 1997 where Mike talks about the creation of the Jumpman Logo.

**Michael Jordan**
"I wasn't even dunking on that one.
People think that I was.
I just stood on the floor, jumped up and spread my legs and they took the picture.
I wasn't even running.
Everyone thought I did that by running and taking off. Actually, it was a ballet move where I jumped up and spread my legs.
And I was holding the ball in my left hand."

Not many people know that the original idea for the photo shoot of the Jumpman came from an older photo of Mike in Life Magazine for the 1984 Olympics. This is where the inspiration came from then the shoe came about. It's so amazing how things can be turned in to one of the worlds most recognized logos to man kind.

This is the rarely seen photo that started it all.

Nike "sampled" the idea for a poster featuring Mike suspended in air for what would later become the now famous Jumpman logo.

This photo was first featured on the hang tags of all the original Air Jordan I's from 1985... Nike had made exclusive colors in the first pair of Jordan's what we like to call the ones! yea these are the ones in deed. My first pair of these particular ones came in black and orange in what we called in the hood * Halloween Jordan's*

But the actual Jumpman logo didn't join the mix for another 3 years.

Fast forward to 1988...

Mike's contract with Nike was about to finish.
Rob Strasser Nike's VP was in a power struggle with Nike CEO Phil Knight. Rob and Peter Moore, Nike's head designer, were secretly hatching a plan to lure Mike away from Nike to their new sneaker company called Van Grack.
Peter originally did the preliminary design work on the Air Jordan III.
He had a pile of sketches of the Air Jordan III but waited until it was too late to execute.

When he left Nike, Tinker Hatfield got the sketches and in amongst it were the outline of the Air Jordan Jumpman logo.

Since 1985, Nike sales have jumped through the roof and Phil Knight (Nike's CEO) was not about to lose Mike that easily.

He gave Tinker the task of presenting the next AJ III to Mike.

Both Tinker and Ron Dumas designed the entire AJ III line in a matter of weeks.

At the Air Jordan III presentation, Mike was ready to leave Nike, so this was Nike's chance to show and prove.

When Tinker said that he has a sample pair of the AJ III, Mike's eyes lit up! I can only imagine how Mike felt when he saw the Jumpan logo on the front of his own shoe. If I could have any moment in my time it would of been to see the look on Mike's face when he saw the first sample pair. *classic*

Once Mike saw that luxurious tumbled leather wrapped in elephant print with that big, beautiful, fire red Jumpman logo on the tounge, that was it, Mike was in love and so was I. That is why till this day the Jordan 3's will always be my favorite shoe and Jordan ever made! I have yet to see another shoe compare to the style, look and feel of these shoes. In my opinion these are the brightest and cleanest shoes ever. Even cleaner then a all white AF1. I will never forget when Jordan wore them on the court Thanksgiving weekend and then took flight to the all star game to win the slam dunk contest. So much about the 3's that I can not explain.

Nike then added Spike Lee to the mix and the rest is history, not only did MJ and Spike impact the world with there great ideas in the Air Jordan commercials, I also appreciated MJ was good friends with a guy named MARS haaa..

From the commercials, the dunk contest, the scoring titles, the MVP's, the buzzer beaters, the heart breaking losses, the championships, the retirement, the come back, the 72 and 10 season, the tap on the $!#, nothing but net goose neck with 6.6 on shot clock...

What a ride!

By the end of Mike's career with the Bulls, the Jumpman was strong enough live outside of the shadow of big brother Nike and Brand Jordan soared to new heights.

From a quick Life Time Magazine photoshoot to a CEO of a multi-million dollar company Michael Jordan will always be one of my biggest inspirations. \\//

So we have heard from the best world wide resources regarding the iPhone 4 that it's official, the iPhone 4 will be available on Verizon on February 10th 2011. I couldn't be happier! Just a note to ATT, I believed in you and your phone service until I realized paying &60 for unlimited text and web browser and another $99 for unlimited talk plan just was NOT worth it! Cell phone providers should offer customers that have been on there service for many years some type of value plan lol.. yea right! Anyway here is a awesome iPhone case I plan on ordering with in the next couple of weeks..it fits me to a T!

EJ Rojas x HahaHollyHood

2011-01-11T22:56:00.007-07:00

There is much hidden talent in the world today that I have listened to, witnessed, saw and experience. Today I wanted to share a particular female artist with you who goes by the name of EJ Rojas. I haven't officially met EJ in person, but have been in the network scene with her since the My Space days lol.

There is timing for everything we do, and for the first time I took time out to listen to what she has brought to the world. EJ's voice captures the real essence of what a song should sound like. Her soul shines in every verse and has a magical voice to capture a audience & place it in to her world. I look forward to seeing EJ grow in the music world and wanted to be one of the first to share what she has put out so far. Please check her out and show support on the links below \\//

EJ is currently working with songwriters and producers CJ Abraham and JADiN GyLES on new tracks for her upcoming debut CD.
Influences:
EJ's influences are vast and numerous, but closest to her heart musically are the classics, 70's rock, and 80's power ballads.
Sounds Like:
EJ's new sound is reminiscent of the late 70's disco era, mixed with Euro-techno power beats and ethnic instrumentation. Smooth melodies, dancable tracks, and memorable songs.
