When was that?

 

[kb24strikesagain]

It's a pic from months ago. Obviously not my pic.

 

[jshortt]

that Brendan Dunne from sneakernews is such a joke

Yup. I've called him on the carpet MANY times. It got to the point where he actually started responding and correcting the issues.

Peace,
J

Ah, thought it was new... thought I missed it!

MacAttack I feel the same way as you do an that's what I say about the Olympics too. These countries host them and they are basically abandoned within a year because some countries don't have the money to keep them running and it's a shame

His next match appearance is 7/7 in Portland.

Surprised nobody has mentioned this but the lace lock on the Wimbledon's makes no sense. The logo looks like the one that Nike designed with Samrpas' gear. With that said I'll still want to get a pair since it is an Agassi shoe.

 

[Sinner]

Powershares?

 

[kb24strikesagain]

Powershares?

Yup. I would think he will be making a trip to the Nike HQ hopefully to get some new gear ready.

Agreed I think Sinner mentioned it yesterday. Perhaps in tribute to AA rivalry with Pete?

 

[kb24strikesagain]

I don't think that's it because it really wouldn't make much sense. Andre's line did switch to that logo at the end of his career with Nike so that could be their thinking.

 Yeah, I ranted on this a few pages back... makes no damn sense.  Like I've ranted before, I wonder if NSW guys doing these know the context of these logos... "Nike Tennis" is not all the same.  The example I used was sticking an Air Flight logo on and Air Force shoe... both are Nike Basketball, right?

 

[kb24strikesagain]

Yea if they were going to use the tennis court logo it should be for his clothing line if they were to retro what he wore later on. It's not synonymous with the ATC II or any years close to it.

I would relate it a bit more to how they threw a velcro strap on the Flight 89's in the early 90's with the newer Triangle F Flight logo.  The strap was weird enough, but to not go with the original cursive "Flight" was weird.

 

[Sinner]

^ Yeah, another good example... but you get my point.

They did it with the random 1036 on the Oz... and now these Wimbledons (a not-predominantly-white Wimbledon shoe + generic Nike Tennis logo pin)... I know it seems long-winded, but the details and context matter.  

 

[sunshineblotters]

Definitely want those wimbledon 2s. My money right now is being saved up for a tat. Might have to make a trade.

No offense to anyone who does watch it, but knowing what I know about the history of Brazil's preparation of this and FIFA in general, I cannot in good conscience contribute my time. Those people needed schools, hospitals and something productive. Not a $300 million arena that will only be used one summer and never filled again. FIFA came in, bullied their government around with wads of cash and like politicians do, they bent over and took it. The place is a powder keg waiting to blow, but the government is cracking down on protesters. Now that we know a big multibillion dollar NON-PROFIT (laugh) organization like FIFA can get into the pockets of any government, I'd feel guilty taking part in the madness.

As much as I love sports, and grew up playing them in an organized fashion, they've come to dominate cultures entirely too much. Too corporate and too much focus on athletic ability and not brain ability. People seem to be more concerned with how smart their new cell phone is instead of their own IQ. Match that with the fact that most of the sh*t is fixed, I just can't get into it anymore. I'd rather play my own sports than watch them anyway...if I can find a park to do it without getting tazed by a cop for "trespassing". Good ol'Murica.

I can agree with Some points but dont let politics and money ruin the game for you!
I hope you dont missed the game for that, because it was wothwilr

Love the way the green looks in this picture. Haven't copped a single pair of ATC 2's this year, been patiently waiting for Poisons. Will definitely try and copp these Wimbledon 2's though.
