Nike Sportswear – Spring/Summer ’09

Nike recently invited me to their Nike South penthouse offices to check out their new 2009 Spring/Summer Nike Sportwear Collection! A lot of the inspiration this time around came from their ACG products…and they’ve introduced a whole lot of new items for women, so you don’t have to buy “small” men’s sizes anymore! The Nike Sportswear line is more for hanging out and lounging, looking cute and sporty, rather than for performance and working out, but all the same technology and careful design goes into all of Nike’s stuff! Trust me…it’s a serious science for them. There are so many great patterns, colors and styles…and when it comes to the kicks, they’ve got new twists (i.e. flywire and fabrics) on the classics. There’s the dunk, skinny dunk, Air Max, AF-1 and the one that brought back Jr. High memories…the Nike Cortez! 🙂

Lost at Sea

My heart goes out to the 3 men (Marquis Cooper, Corey Smith and William Bleakley) lost at sea off Florida’s west coast. I have been praying since I learned of their situation over the weekend, and I can’t imagine what their families must be going through…such a sudden, tragic and heartbreaking situation.

I particularly feel more connected to the story because I knew Marquis through mutual friends and I worked with his Dad, Bruce, in the sports department at KPNX in Phoenix, where we also hosted, Friday Night Fever (high school football show) together. He always spoke so highly of his only son and was the ever-proud father, even donning Marquis’ Tampa Bay jersey for one of our shows. I remain hopeful and will continue to pray and keep them all in my thoughts and prayers.

NBA All Star Weekend

I made a trip to the desert (Phoenix) for NBA All Star weekend…I was multi-tasking between visiting with my West Coast girls, making new friends and working On The Flipside! (Above) That’s the “Sneaker Sensei” with me and my girls at the “Best of the West” gaming competition at Stoudemire’s Downtown.

Highlights of the weekend included the Lexus Fashion Show, House of Hennessy and NBPA Gala, as well as hanging out at the W Hotel in Scottsdale! Look out for my All Star interviews with Chamillionaire, Akon, Jadakiss, Dominique Wilkins, Jason Kapono, Adonal Foyle and more of the sights and sounds from Phoenix…on the All Star edition of On The Flipside!
