Air Jordan 1 Retro High "DTRT" (2009)

Last year marks the 20th Anniversary of the 1989 movie ‘Do The Right Thing‘ which was written and directed by Spike Lee. Since Jordan himself and Spike Lee have a close personal relationship which each other, Jordan Brand has put together the Do The Right Thing Pack consisting of two Air Jordan 1 High models.

Late last year, my friend Eri from Jakarta (again) offered to sell his white/red pair to me at a very reasonable price. I couldn't refuse.

And yeah I broke them fresh not long after it reached my hands.

Straight up fire.

Then this thing hits me; now that I do have two pairs of all white leather upper, red swoosh, red lace, hi-top, Nike sneakers. Dunk SB Hi "Mafia" and this pair. That doesn't make sense. I need to do something about this.


As you see, I obviously can't customise the Mafia Hi, since it's full patent leather. And this AJ1 is full grain leather, though it's not easy to customise it, it's not impossible. And I know one person that can do this for me, someone I can trust.

What will happen to this pair?

Stay tuned.

Basketball Night: Month of May

May has been a bit slow in terms of the sneakers worn by me, and the boys. Nonetheless, they were a few nice ones, worth mentioned for the month of May.

Sugil: Air Zoom Kobe V

Axe: Air Jordan Jeter Captain

Hafiz: Reebok Pump (awesome..)

Unduk: Air Jordan ?? (unrecognisable)

Unrecognised friend with unrecognisable sneakers. Sorry.

Basketball Night: Nike Dunk Hi Vandal Premium

Nothing special this week. Same shoes by the rest. I was hoping the boys will buy something new and wear their shoes on rotation. Barulah meriah sikit.

Anyways,

Butet: Air Jordan VIII "Orange Blaze"

Yours Truly: Dunk Hi Vandal Premium

There must be at least one reason why the shoe was named "Dunk". I guess it's for dunking. Smart.

Drink with fashion, eat also with fashion.

I did post about the fashionable Coca-Cola Light x Karl Lagerfeld Box Set a while ago, didn't I? What was my last line?

Drink it with fashion.

Apparently Charm City Cakes and Erika Lizette did a collaboration and created some yummy cakes based on her love for her Air Jordan collections in a show by Food Network called 'Ace of Cakes'.

Air Jordan V "Grape"

Air Jordan III "Fire Red"

Air Jordan I "Old Love New Love"

Now, eat also must be with fashion.

Basketball Night: Air Jordan 5 'Green Bean'

I have a regular basketball session every Tuesday night at Sports Barn. Been balling there for almost a year now.

Couple of months ago I bought a pair of Air Jordan 5 'Green Bean' from a friend in Jakarta. Although it is 9.5US (I'm usually a 10US - extra comfort and space) it was a sweet deal and I just couldn't resist it.

I always dig Air Jordan 1 - 5, especially Air Jordan 4. For some, like jagunghangus digs the Air Jordan 1 - 12 (reason being is that Air Jordan 13 and afterward were made after Michael Jordan retired from professional basketball). To me, it's all about your personal preference. To each his own.

It's even flashes back (reflective-coated material) Not very visible I guess.
I'll try to snap the picture at night some time

So this was my recent Tuesday session few nights back. Though there were not many, only eight came that night. Nevertheless, I managed to snap some photos of the shoes the boys were wearing.

Sugil: Air Jordan 12 'Flu Game'

Bujor: Nike Air Zoom Kevin Durant 'kd2'

Butet: Air Jordan 15

Wan Sk8: And1 shoes (I'm not sure which model) and lousy Crocs

Yours Truly: Air Jordan 5 'Green Bean'

For the last one month I've been trashing my Green Bean on the court. I personally think the shoe is pretty decent. Well, the early Jordans are kinda classic you know. It gives you some kind of 'superstar' feeling when you are balling in it.

But the frustrating part is that, the soles look like they gonna kaput soon, unless I do something about it fast.

I never signed up for this!

Yeah, it doesn't look good for a so-called premium basketball brand, I know. So I will have to find a good cobbler to fix this. This needs to be sewn to make sure it won't tear off for good. As of next week, I'm thinking of trying other pair of shoes.

Till we meet again with different sneakers.

Greetings.

I believe this is going to be a fun and colourful blog.
