The
Nike Air Jordan 2010 is a very special shoe for a number of reasons. However,
why tops their email list most for the creation of this sneaker is obvious. The
celebration type of shoe marks the 25th year of the Anniversary of the Air
Jordan line usually. What also makes this shoe stay ahead of the other Nike
Jordan basketball signature shoes is the fact that this shoe represents the
future of the Jordan brand in the world.Each new shoe design that Nike Jordan
range pops up with is definitely a product that's more innovative and much
better than before. The reason being Air Jordan is a brand. That's a firm
believer in incorporating the element of imagination into every shoe. This is
because they want to develop the best product throughout for the eager consumer
to have. When there is imagination. There are no limits on where the creation of
a new Jordan sneaker can go from here.The Nike Jordan 2010 is not just a
celebration kind of shoe. It's also a lot more. What makes this latest Jordan
shoe stick out specifically is always that it has a look out of performance like
no other basketball shoe out there. The thermoplastic urethane window or (TPU)
is truly what Michael Jordan conceived as the way for him to have ability to
look out of each of his opponents out on the basketball court. The noted
designers who helped Michael Jordan bring this shoe to life from Jordan personal
interpretation were not one other than Tinker Hatfield and Mark Smith. This
latest shoe, which was released officially on February 13, 2010, is a fine
illustration of what future shoes will be as part of the famous Jordan
brand.There are other facets of the Air Michael Jordan basketball shoes. That
sets it apart from the other Jordan members from the Nike Air Jordan brand
label. This very professional basketball shoe is very lightweight and provide a
lot of support from a natural movement perspective. Another facet of this shoe
is that it has a toe construction. That's both layered and which has a forefoot
support cover that is completely independent in addition. This special technique
allows a person to be more agile when moving and does not restrict the foot
flexibility and movement too.
Dwyane
Wade knocked on the door of Air Jordan Headquarters countless times before they
finally gave in and agreed to his wish to let him join Jordan Brand and wear Air
Jordan shoes.Yes at long last he is joining the company.In February, 2010 Jordan
Brand will debut funnily and surprisingly enough the 'Air Jordan 2010' to honor
25 years of being in the Michael Jordan shoe business. Mike himself hand picked
DWade for this role as his successor and Dwyane (no not Dwayne) was absolutely
over the moon when got the news calling it a "a huge honor" to wear Nike Air
Jordan shoes."I was in awe, because I know what it means to not only be a part
of Jordan Brand but really represent Michael on the court in the shoe he would
wear," Wade told AP, "Very excited, to say the least."The air jordan 2010 shoe
drops across the country on Feb 13th, 2010 and is going for a whopping 170 bones
per pair and this shoe isn't even all that believe me; it really makes you
wonder even though they brought back the Legendary Tinker Hatfield to design
this Michael Jordan shoe if Michael himself would have even worn this shoe or
flat outright refused to wear this sneaker. Lots of people are comparing it to
something you can pick up at Walmart which is bad enough while the ridiculous
circular window on the Air Jordan shoe is even worse. I'm actually dying to see
how strong the lure of Jordan Brand really is still and whether all of the
haters on the sneaker forums/blogs that say they despise this air jordan shoe
will actually go and buy it just the same when it actually releases in mid
February of next year.The release of the AJ shoe is conveniently only 4 days
prior to Michael Jordan's birthday and we're assuming Wade will showcase the
sneaker at the NBA Allstar game in Dallas.People are curious whether Dwyane will
give them a sneak peek and rock his new Jordan Brand shoe during Miami's
prestigious Christmas Day game at Madison Square Garden versus the New York
Knicks.The breaking sneaker news was parlayed to the Associated Press a few
hours before the official launch event on Wednesday evening in Miami."The
celebration of the Air Jordan 2010 and our 25th anniversary are the pinnacle of
a year full of milestones for me," Jordan stated in a formal press announcement.
"With each shoe, consumers have pushed me to take the next Air Jordan beyond
their wildest imagination."One person who dreamed the dream and may have been
thinking the dream had died was Wade himself who was ecstatic to finally be
joining the brand he loves so much.After six years in the service on Converse in
July he'll finally lace up his Jordans as an official spokesperson (both are
owned by Nike).One thing we know for sure is that he'll at least be matching the
$6 Million per year deal he had with Converse and surely he'll be making at
least $10 Million considering the step up in prestige and market size;c
onsidering DWade is the first pitchman for the Jordan shoe Brand since Michael
himself.Wade is continuing to build his business empire with existing deals with
Gatorade and T-Mobile continuing to bring in a significant pay cheque."One thing
I understood coming over to the brand, it's a team," Wade said. "I'm fortunate
enough to be able to be in a spot with guys like Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony,
Derek Jeter, all those guys. We all have a role to play. And I'm going to play
the role that they signed me up for and hopefully I do the best I can."Dwyane's
secret deal with Nike/Air Jordan/Jordan Brand shoe deal was kept hush hush for
months with only a few inside the Wade inner circle, such as fellow Chicage
native and guy that also idolized MJ growing up, Quentin Richardson, being one
of the few select folk to know in advance; Richardson has been rockin' the
Jumpman shoe line during his entire NBA career."I think it meant the world to
him, truthfully," Richardson said. "Us being from Chicago, I don't think people
understand.... We Jordan
Fly Wade adored M.J. We watched every move he made. I think for us guys, it
made a big difference. And even before he came over to Jordan, Dwyane would wear
it. He'd come over to my house and get stuff all the time."As big as if not
bigger than being able to officially rep Air Jordan shoes, for Wade, was the
capacity to get to know Michael a little better and to have access to him
personally as a result of Jordan's shoe business connection that opens up the
lines of communication between the GOAT and his Jordan Brand successor."Before
this, our relationship was kind of on the basis of seeing him and still being in
awe of the person I grew up watching," Wade said. "Now I can e-mail, call him,
all these lines of communication. So I think it's kind of cool. He responds back
to me a lot quicker now than he used to."
Nike
has just launched the newest Air Jordan in 2011, the 26th version in Air Jordan
shoes series, though we don't know for sure if the number is correct. Besides
its classic 3 colorways, this new version has a special limited edition: the
Year of the Rabbit Air Jordan -- 2011 is Rabbit Year in Chinese Lunar Year. It
might seem strange for a basketball shoe named like this, but obviously the
decision is to coincide with a momentous year for Michael Jordan himself -- Mr.
Jordan was born in the year of the rabbit, 1963. As he turns to be 48 years old
today, he enters the year of birth for the 4th time with his shoe slathered in
Chinese symbolism. The Rabbit Year Air Jordan shoebox is designed to match the
red envelopes, which is used to give lucky money at Chinese Lunar New Year, in
red and gold with iconic geometric designs and Chinese characters, revolving
around the Jumpman silhouette logo. The shoe itself bears a white/metallic
gold/varsity red/wolf grey colorway, at least two of them are popular colors in
China, and it also matches well with Chinese national team uniform, Chicago
Bulls uniform. The special edition Jordan shoe also features an insole reads
"Brooklyn", which is the New York borough where Mr. Jordan was born and also
home to many Chinese people. Another explanation for the color scheme is:
According to Chinese popular superstition, the year of one's birth sign is full
of potential misfortune, and one way to avoid the bad luck is to wear red color.
When Chinese people typically fulfill this requirement by stocking up on crimson
underwear, it might be that Mr. Jordan wanted a way to lay down some protection
when he is playing some pick-up games. This special edition shoes were released
to only a small number of stores in China at the beginning of February, and will
land in a few more in China and a small number of stores in the U.S. on Feb. 19.
Nike stores in Beijing and Shanghai last week has reported selling out of them
instantly, and in Hong Kong, the shoes were only available via a lucky draw.
Such limited edition Air Jordan shoes are not made for the common consumer, they
are released in short supply, and quickly are snapped up by collectors, they are
auctioned in eBay for upward of $400.This special edition isn't as ugly as last
year's model, yet it's far from19932s Air Jordan IX, which was known to many
people as the design that got cool years after its initial release.With its gold
laces, red tongues and translucent soles, it might be a while before the Year of
the Rabbit Air Jordan shoes are looked on so fondly.
Ever
since KICKS 3 (summer 2000), each issue of the annual sneaker mag—KICKS 10 not
included—has contained two or three new inductions into the KICKS Hall of Fame,
where footwear legends past and present are honored. This may not be fresh
material for those of you who’ve been copping the mag since before the new
millennium hit, but for the younger heads, we’re posting the entire HOF online
over the course of the next few weeks. (It’ll be archived under the KICKS tab
above.) Enjoy, and don’t forget: KICKS 14 is on sale now! —Ed.It isn’t often you
see a press conference called over a sneaker. But early in December, 2008,
that’s exactly what Kobe Bryant and Nike did.Despite the scarcity of
conferences, it still would have been easy to brush it off as an elaborate
attempt to generate hype for Bryant’s fourth sneaker with Nike. But then, over
the course of a short webcast intro, Mamba and the Swoosh unveiled just how
they’d be flipping the script and revolutionizing the game.The Zoom Kobe IV got
lower and lighter than other kicks without sacrificing any of its functionality.
Taking cues from soccer cleats, which manage to cater to stronger and more rapid
cuts than typical shoes, the Eric Avar-designed sneak bolted forward and didn’t
look back.Over the last three years, the low-cut silhouette has continued to
evolve, getting lighter while trading out some materials for others. (Lunar foam
went out with the IV, with heel and forefoot Zoom Air into the V. Flywire from
the IV and V was upgraded to a three-layer Flywire setup for the ZK VI.) All of
this, of course, worked further toward Kobe’s initial request of having a shoe
that is merely an extension of one’s foot. The insoles of the ZK VI demonstrate
this, with the phrase, “I want a shoe that molds to my foot,” spread out over
the two feet.Bryant wasn’t the first dude to rock low tops on the hardwood—far
from it. Take a look, though, at the impact he’s had on NBA feet over the past
three years: The Zoom Kobe IV, V and VI have essentially become the go-to
sneaker for players in the League who don’t have their own signature models.
Thinking of the NBA as its own democratic country, the players have spoken with
their footwear choices and Kobe Bryant is the current president.Before he became
the Obama of the L, though, a teenage Bryant skipped the NCAA and landed Feet
You Wear-first in the NBA, as a rookie with the Lakers and as an endorser for
adidas. That pairing lasted the first six years of Kobe’s prolific NBA career,
and though the adidas/Bryant relationship was moderately successful (Google “The
Kobe Sunshine” for proof), things didn’t really rise to the next level until
Kobe got low in 2008.Through the 14 years we’ve gotten to kind-of, sort-of know
Kobe, we’ve come to know his competitive side. As much as his (dwindling) number
of detractors will complain that he’s air
jordan 11 retro cool grey a Jordan wannabe, Kobe is in the process of
clearing his own path—one that’s Jordan-like, but still all Kobe. And as
valuable as Pau Gasol was to the Lakers’ two Championships and three straight
Finals appearances from ’08-10, Nike’s played the same role in helping Kobe
blaze his tale and sneaker trail.When he began rehabbing his image in the
mid-2000s, at a point when most people in his situation would’ve hid or tried
cleansing their image, Kobe created a lethal alter ego in the Black Mamba. Nike
saw what he was doing, embraced it and used it as a key tool in Bryant’s image
refinement. Working snake-like elements into Kobe’s shoes the last three years,
in addition to crafting a sneak that was revolutionary in itself, Bryant is
managing to do his own thing but still dwell in the realm of MJ. Diss him all
you want, but KB is as calculating with the business side of his game as he is
with the ball in his hands. He isn’t Mike, but he’s an awful lot like
him—especially when it comes to seeking out those tiny little mental
victories.MJ already changed the shoe game on a cultural level that no one will
ever match. But in each of the last three seasons, Kobe has changed the sneaker
world on a personal level. In his heyday, Jordan was selective about who wore
his signature joints. Kobe takes the opposite route, likely seeing it as each
opponent and even teammate around him ceding to his superiority when they lace
his kicks up. If players from every team across the Association wore your
signature shoes, wouldn’t you look at it the same way?

no secret the real estate market is no longer the high volume cash cow it was in
recent years, but the smart Realtor? is the one who thinks outside the box and
diversifies his/her business by simply adding other complementary services that
are in synergy with their primary offering.What am I talking about?Why just do
real estate when you can also easily do loans?There is a tremendous synergy
between real estate and loans, and some companies, such as the one I work with,
do not require that you have a huge amount of loan knowledge or time to add on
this service for your residential and commercial real estate customers and
capture additional revenue on more deals. It’s no more work than it takes to do
an out-of-state real estate referral deal, which you know is some of the easiest
money you ever make!The benefits to you are huge!1. More Control Of Your Real
Estate Deals2. Pre-Approvals That Are For Real3. The Ability To Offer One-Stop

Make Money And Retain Your Clients When They Don’t Need To Purchase A Property6.
Loan Clients Today Can Be Real Estate Clients Tomorrow7. Make More Money On
Every Real Estate Referral Deal To Another Market, And Vice VersaIt’s important
to be sure that any company you decide to work with can do business, preferably
as a direct lender, in all 50 states; has residential and commercial lending
capabilities across all credit grades and documentation levels; has good loan
processing; has a business structure that does not require you to undertake
additional licensing; and is RESPA-compliant.Also, it’s always a good idea to
check with your state department of real estate, banking and your real estate
brokerage to be sure there are no restrictions on your ability to do this in
your area or with your particular company. In the vast majority of states, a
Realtor can legally also do a loan for the same customer on the same transaction
with proper disclosure.So do yourself a favor and become diversified--double
your income by doing real estate and doing loans!Copyright 2007 Melanie R.
