Administrative: Why We've Been Lagging

-I've been super uninspired to blog lately and I've been trying to figure out why. School isn't too demanding this quarter and fall is always my favorite season for assembling looks.
-But then I realized the obvious. Usually basketball season comes and since I live 300 miles north of home, I can't get Blazer games on tv, so I only watch basketball two nights a week when games are on ESPN and TNT. But this year the roommates and I bought an upgraded package so that we can get all the Blazer games, and we also got NBATV. So there you have it. Even if a game isn't on, there's always a highlight show or a fantasy special or something to watch. And that, my friends, is where my blogging time has gone; sucked into the NBATV abyss.
-Nevertheless, I'm trying to build back up the habit of daily blogging, but just to make it clear, there is no material thing in the world more important to me that the Portland Trail Blazers. more

-Nate Robinson won't stop flying over the heads of NBA superstars past and present, and his huge dunk over Dwight Howard yesterday should bring him some much needed recognition. Yesterday's NBA Dunk Contest became the final round of a best-of-3 series between the two, with Robinson gaining the majority of fans' votes and yelling "206 holla at me" whenever possible. To see another one of Seattle's finest, check out B-Roy in today's NBA All Star Game at 5pm on TNT. more

Vacation is Over: Kicks

-We're back so post frequency should be back up to a normal regularity in the coming weeks. I've got a new computer and some new software that will improve everything blog-related. Here are some shoes you may have missed over the holiday.

-Kistune x Pierre Hardy, the colorway is French inspired but you could pretend it was American. Then some high-tops from Kris Van Assche, we previewed these a long time ago and now they're available. Alife x Reebok women's Pro Legacy Lux Freestyle, looks comfy. Then some Nike hybrid boat shoe-like sneakers, the Mad Jibe. 

-Also, I was stoked to find out the official Brandon Roy shoe is finally out. 

-They're available at Footlocker for only $85.

Video: Brandon Roy reacts to his 52-point game

-Truth. It was definitely worth driving through the snow, almost hitting a pole, and walking six blocks in the freezing cold. Best game I've ever been to.
