Video: For The Love of The Game
The basketball court definitely was sanctuary. Out of all the times I got in trouble growing, somehow, on the basketball court I always seem to be doing something right. If not I could make up for it, I didn’t get yelled at. I started at my school’s in-house tournament, T.J.B.A. After that I was caught up, I didn’t want to leave the gym, I would go from one practice to the next. My mom would be calling my cell and I refused to pick up cause I wasn’t ready. Then watching the Dunkers Delight games at Wingate, even the pick up games. Those were the days man. The video was filmed and directed by Sid Ashford.

Nike Write The Future x (RED) – End AIDS
Source via: Freshness Mag
This is not an unfamiliar campaign, and it is not a difficult one either. For a while now, Nike has partnered up with (RED) and Starks to create charity (Nike)RED laces where its proceeds will be donated to The Global Fund to Fight AIDS. AIDS used to be a death sentence, but with advances in medical technology and pharmacology, AIDS is no longer an early expiration date tagged on people, and one of the latest AIDS survivor passed away at the ripe old age of 80. At only 40 cents and two pills a day, lives can be easily saved. However, as many people in Africa continue to live in poverty, millions are unable to afford the medication they need to survive. To drive the point that it is as easy as lacing up to save lives home, (RED) has teamed up with Nike Football’s Write The Future campaign to create a new End AIDS video.

“Write The Future” Crayola Crayon
These crayons, beautifully crafted by artist Diem Chau who is so apt at expressing the subtlest nuances in details, will inspire a great sense of creativity, but at the same time, evoke a protective desire to cryogenically preserve these gorgeous Crayola crayons till the end of time. Commissioned by Nike for the sportswear giant’s “Write The Future” campaign to celebrate the 2010 FIFA World Cup, packaged by Wieden + Kennedy (W+K) and created by Diem Chau, one of the childhood favorites, Crayola crayons are carved into tiny sculptures of Nike’s greatest football players and heroes of speed– Rooney, Ribery, Cannavaro, Ronaldo, Drogba and Robinho.

Nike Boots
Nike Air Max Goadome, $149
I wasn’t always a fan of Nike Boots until recently. I just copped my first pair a couple weeks ago and I’m thinking about getting another. I just feel like you can’t go wrong with it – throw on sum Levi’s 514 Slim Straight, cuff the pants foot, and let it sit on top of your boots. It’s a complement to a simple and stylish outfit you have on. It’s still street but stylish in the end.
