2 weeks after Kobe died, I went out and had a beer with an old friend from college. Every time we get together we almost always end up talking about one of two things – either the financial markets or sneakers. He’s a finance guy and doesn’t give a damn about sneakers in the least, […]
I know, I know, it’s Super Bowl Sunday. Who isn’t posting about the super bowl right now? IG posts talking about the 49ers and Chiefs. I’m not a fan of football in the least, but I’ve been fortunate to live in the Bay Area for the past 7 or 8 years and have seen the […]
And coming in at number 1 – my favorite Kobe model of all time…the Kobe VIII. This is definitely an understated shoe…most Kobes went under the radar for me, including this pair. The first colorway that caught my eye was the ‘Python’ colorway – Olive Green/Red/Black. Once I sat down and looked at it…put it […]
Swipe to see some HIGHlights 😂 I’m not really big on getting high or altered mind states (on a regular basis), but the first time I ever got high was the first night I sat down and watched a full Laker (Kobe) game from tipoff to buzzer. I had just returned home from class and […]
Coming in at number 2…the Nike Kobe VI. I kind of debated putting this shoe as number one first as it’s just such a unique shoe…I’ve owned a handful of pairs over the years, but was hoping they’d retro some more interesting colorways before I bought another pair. Some of the more interesting colorways go […]
I’m not the biggest @champagnepapi hater, nor am I the biggest fan. I don’t hate him as much as most people my age seem to, but I could definitely live my life without ever listening to another one of his songs on purpose. Drake has about as much to do with basketball and basketball culture as…I dunno…dental […]
So…with everything going on, I was thinking of my TOP 3 Kobe shoes and decided to write a bit on each. This is post 1 of 3: Coming in at number 3…the Adidas Crazy 8. I don’t remember when I first saw these but I do remember being drawn to them immediately. There was nothing […]
PSA: For those of you interested, someone out there in podcast land did us all a big favor and collected 14Kobe Bryant interviews from all across different random podcasts on Itunes. It’s called ‘Kobe Bryant Interviews’ and there are definitely some interesting stories.
“Even not knowing him, everyone feels close to Kobe,” Leigh Kakaty, 44, said. “Part of our youth passed away.”I got all choked up this morning in front of my first class. And then my second class. And my third. As much as I hate hyperbole, this does actually feel like a personalized national tragedy. Just […]
For all my old heads – tell me I’m lyin’. Back in the day, if you played pickup basketball, you damn sure didn’t show up to a game wearing a Michael Jordan jersey. If you did, you’d better believe you’d have everybody coming for your ass on that court. Dudes would go out of their […]
