The Air-ess

If you've ever seen The Ordinary Girl then you know that when it comes to kicks, gender specifics mean absolutely nothing to her. I like those Jordan Retro 8s up top but I also mess with a variety of sneakers that don't have the WMNS tag on them. If they are phly then I will buy.



But, admittedly, it feels darn good to know that there is finally a sista on the Jordan Brand team of sports stars. Sure, Va$htie got to design some pretty 2s but if we're being honest, I'm not trying to get a credit card to order them online just so I can rock a colourway I don't even like. That's not shade, it's an opinion.



Anyway, Minnesota Lynx player, Maya Moore (above), is the first female basketball player to be endorsed by Jordan Brand and she joins the ranks of Dwayne Wade with this new appointment. All together now: wooohoooooo! There's no word yet about what kinds of Air goodies she'll be the face of but I know they damn sure won't be looking like this:

Basketball Diaries

If you have known Dude for a while then you know how I used to get down on the basketball court (Ask about me!!). Unfortunately Dude has become too rusty to put a challenge to anyone, but back then ANYBODY COULD GET IT!! Ahem... I digress. We came across a new video of another, more well-known has-been baller, God Shammgod (yes that is his birth given name, HOW DOPE IS THAT?!?!?!). The is the dude who is said to have taught Kobe Bryant the crossover and we all know how killer Kobe's crossover can be, right?

Shammgod played in the NBA for one season and since then he has been playing ball in China, Saudi Arabia and Poland leagues which are not as high profile as the NBA. In this video, he teams up with Converse to tell us about growing up and honing his dribbling skills. He also breaks down his signature move for us.
