CASIO G-SHOCK GXW-56..... enough said

CASIO G-SHOCK GXW-56.....


Complaints of durability with CASIO’s G-SHOCK line of watches are few and far between. However, this hasn’t stopped the brand from releasing the upcoming GXW-56. With aesthetics based on the original DW-5000C, a lot of hardware upgrades have gone into the new model. The size of the GXW-56 comes in at double the volume of the now diminutive DW-5000C. A newly developed two-layer hard resin case protects the outer elements of the watch which also boasts dirt and mud proof construction. Gel-dampers are also integrated into the watch face for additional shock-dispersion. The watch syncs via radio frequencies for accuracy. Available starting July 31st at select retailers.

Kicks Sneakpeek....

Air Jordan 13 “Playoffs” Confirmed for 2011
We understand that some of you can’t see pass the “Cool Grey” Air Jordan 11s that come out during the holiday season of 2010. However, there is a lot to look forward in 2011 as well. Yesterday, we notified you of the Air Jordan 3 White/Cement releasing next spring, and we’re now hearing that the Air Jordan 13 “Playoffs” will re-release in 2011 as well.

Although this particular Air Jordan 13 is dubbed the “Playoffs”, it was first worn by MJ in the 1998 NBA All-Star Game. He later wore it during the playoffs of that same year. The Air Jordan 13 “Playoffs”, a sneaker that first released in 1998, contains a primarily black leather base that is offset by a white midsole and a true red outsole. Who else has been waiting for this sneaker to show up for the longest?

Air Jordan 9 “Charcoal” Detailed Photos
Just two days ago we saw the Air Jordan 9 “Charcoal” 2010 retro for the first time. This famed colorway is returning for the first time since its original release in the nineties, and older sneakerheads couldn’t be more pleased.
The upper of this shoe combines black and Dark Charcoal suede. True Red accents appear on the liner, tongue and heel, just as the OG shoe did. We noticed the charcoal used here is slightly lighter than the hue used on the OG pair. These detailed photos give us a better look, which should further help you decide on whether you want these when they release.

Air Jordan 3 White/Cement Confirmed for 2011


Although 2010 is far from over (see 14 Sneakers to Look Forward to for the Rest of 2010) there is a lot to look forward to in 2011 such as the Nike Air Max Penny I. In addition, many sneaker enthusiasts will be happy to know that the Air Jordan 3 Retro White/Cement will also make a return next year.

If you recall, sources earlier in the year stated that this particular Air Jordan 3 would release during the holiday season of 2010; however, new reports have this release scheduled for next spring. The Air Jordan 3 White/Cement last released in 2003; however, the Nice Kicks shop had a limited size run of this sneaker at its opening earlier this year. Nevertheless, if you were not able to be here in Austin to snag these, you will have every chance next spring. Who else is excited about this sneaker returning in 2011? Where does the Air Jordan 3 White/Cement rank amongst all of the Air Jordan III colorways?

Steve Nash’s annual “Showdown in Chinatown” is becoming a perennial summer tradition in New York City, as the charity soccer match featuring NBA and international soccer stars drew quite a crowd on a beautiful evening in Lower Manhattan. Although notable alumni such as Salmon Kalou and Thierry Henry have (or at least might have) taken to the international stage in South Africa, a few old hands joined Nash. Claudia Reyna and Tony Parker as were included among Nash’s regular-season teammates Raja Bell and Jared Dudley, not to mention rising Italian-American star Giuseppe Rossi. However, it was the infamous Nate Robinson, a last-minute addition to the roster who stole the show, playing to the crowd and celebrating a few goals with his over-the-top brand of showmanship. Of course, Nate’s enthusiasm was in keeping with the spirit of the friendly match: certainly not World Cup caliber play by any means, but definitely reflective of soccer’s growing popularity in the national consciousness.

In fact, this year’s Showdown occurred on the same day as a major victory by the U.S. National Team, though Wednesday’ epic stoppage-time victory over Algeria was arguably more signifcant than Donovan & co.’s incredible upset over Spain, the same day of last year’s Showdown last summer. Coincidence? Only time will tell.
