I know you have already seen a million photos of the Air Jordan XI "Playoffs" online but I'm posting this one to say thank you to the awesome people behind Titan. You guys rock!

#FLOTG

If you were at Ronac Thursday afternoon for the Titan Air Jordan XI Playoff release and 2K13 Championship then you probably saw the Kobe 8 "Christmas" on my feet. I didn't mean to break your neck but they are pretty. Cop yourself a pair starting Wednesday, December 26!

Not a fan of lows? Maybe the other Nike "Christmas Day" kicks will tickle your fancy.

Friday before Christmas = death by HEAVY traffic. The world didn't end but the streets sure looked like a scene from the movie 2012.

After dropping Carla off at the airport (sorry you almost missed your flight!) I headed to M Cafe for dinner with Jen. She's saying goodbye to Converse Philippines soon and I wanted to say thank you one last time for all that she's done for me, this site and #NT.

The Air Jordan XI Playoff madness is finally over! Now we can all enjoy the holidays with our loved ones. Big shout out to Titan for making this another memorable and stress free Air Jordan release. You guys are the best!

It's been real, y'all. Let's do it one more time before the Earth splits in half.

When the Mayans predicted the end of the world they didn't see this coming.

"'Twas a long time ago, longer now than it seems,
In a place that perhaps you've seen in your dreams;
For the story that you are about to be told
Took place in the holiday worlds of old.
Now you've probably wondered where holidays come from.
If you haven't, I'd say it's time you begun."

I was shopping for a pair of leather brogues when I tweeted this more than a week ago. To my surprise, I saw the adidas D Rose 3 "Nightmare" already for sale at the department store of SM North EDSA.

TSFKAB (The Space Formerly Known As Bunker) was transformed into a pop-up store for we Legendary's Thank You Sale. I wanted to get there early but I totally missed where it said 10am on the flyer. #facepalm

I still went, arrived after lunch and saw people come throughout the afternoon until closing time. That's we Legendary for you. Pulling crowds no matter where they set up shop!

BRB with the full set. :)

This one's for all the chips!

1 year's worth of kicks is insane!

If you're an 80's baby like me then it's most likely that you have heard of the the Italian brand Ellesse. (pronounced L.S., the initials of Lenoardo Servardio, founder of Ellesse)

It's one of those European brands, along with Lacoste, that I always saw in my parents' and siblings' closets. My parents were  into tennis while my brothers and I were fans of F1's Alain Prost, both associated with Ellesse. It has also been part of the hip-hop culture the past several decades with the classic tracksuits and apparel being rocked by rappers (as seen recently on Kreayshawn). The bright colors and unique styles appealed to me then and still appeals to me now.

Ellese has been around for over 50 years and the brand is making noise once again with its latest collaboration with some of the most popular sneaker stores in today's scene. Old-school mixed with new-school. Me likey.
