Growing up as a kid on the east coast watching the Pistons, Knicks and Raptors I have to admit I’m not the ultimate Kobe fan but this new Nike ad is brilliant. The Black Mamba has probably some of the best Nike Basketball ads since the days of Jordan.

This latest spot sings the praises of the KobeSystem and its ability to help the successful find even more success. Aziz Ansari and Paul Rodriguez aren’t the only ones on the KobeSystem – just about everyone else who matters appears to be under the influence of the Black Mamba as well. From sports stars like Jerry Rice and Landon Donovan to media mogul Richard Branson and even Kanye West.

The Jordan RCVR translates as the Jordan Receiver.

Jordan Brand outfitted freakishly athletic soon-to-be Hall of Fame wide receiver Randy Moss for the first half of his NFL career, but aside from that magical 2007 season in New England, you could fairly convincingly aruge that his cut from JB’s roster was as shrewd a move as anything from Bill Belichick.

The Jumpman switched focus to other gridiron stars like Jason Taylor and Dwight Freeney, and have found a bonafide star replacement for Moss in recent years thanks to the upward flight of Houston Texans receiver Andre Johnson and Michael Crabtree of the San Francisco 49ers. So when we see a new trainer in the style of the Trunner series given the name Jordan RCVR, it’s natural to associate them with the Pro Bowl wideout.

The Timberland Abington Collection was a huge SUCCESS here @ LOOP in 2011.

Timberland keeps the ball rolling with their 2012 spring/summer collection inspired by the mountains of New Hampshire, which has lead to a distinct use of various materials to craft unique silhouettes.

Featured material choices include canvas, suede, and premium leather and are available in a number of colors that are apropos for the season.

The first installment is the Timberland Abington 6 Eyelet Moc Boot. Lightweight and durable, with details inspired and required by a canoe guide’s life along the water’s edge.

History

The Samba has been among Adidas’ most popular, best selling shoes in recent times, the second best sold Adidas shoe ever with over 35 million sold pairs worldwide. It is produced in a variety of color schemes, yet the classic black with three white stripes is the most popular. The shoe features a tan gumsole that distinguishes it from other Adidas shoes.

The shoe was first produced in 1950 to enable association football players to train on icy hard ground (hence the suction on the gumsole). Its original design featured the classic three stripes, as well as the gold trefoil on the foldable tongue. As years progressed, the Samba evolved into the Samba Millennium (which was made without the extended tongue) and the Samba ’85. Classic models of the shoe are still in production, under the name Classic M. the original model is sometimes used for training, street play, and futsal.

Which colorway of the Air Jordan X ‘City Series’ do you want to see a Retro of? The resounding answer was the ‘Chicago’ colorway, and given that this January 2012 release is a near copy of the original, we expect it to be one of the biggest hits of the year.

A few changes to note: the inner lining features the checkerboard print (the OG was solid red) and the Jumpman symbol on the heel is red (the OG was solid black). Regardless of these changes, the Chicago version of the Air Jordan X is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated sneakers of the first quarter of the coming year.

Dropping @ LOOP Jan 21. Now taking Pre-Orders for this release.

History

It was the first Air Jordan to feature a light weight phylon midsole.
