On Friday, August 28th 2009, DJ AM was found dead in his NYC apartment. The sudden lost comes almost a year after surviving a tragic plane crash with Blink 182's Travis Barker, while taking off from a college event in West Columbia, SC.
Not only was AM a incredible turntablist, the Philly-born international DJ (and Nicole Ritchie's ex- fiancée) was a sneakerhead. In a interview with MTV News he claimed to have owned approximately 600 pairs. AM was also fortunate to have his very own customed Nike Air Force 1.
In honor of DJ AM, the Palms Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, NV held a moment of silence and lit the A & M on the building. AM spun at the hotel every Friday.

It's hard to believe that early in Michael Jordan's career, the basketball great was cornered by German-based footwear & apparel performance brand, adidas. In the video, below, the former NBA player says that Nike gave him a deal that was to good to refuse. Jordan also admits that while in college he wore Converse sneakers (side note: The North Carolina Tar Heels were sponsored by Converse), and never wore Nike until he inked a Nike contract. Along with the sportswear leader, Nike, Jordan has been a major spokesperson for Gatorade, Ball Park Franks, McDonalds, Hanes, Wheaties, Coca-Cola, Chevrolet, Rayovac, Wheaties, and MCI.
Today, the Nike Jordan brand is one of the most in demand in the country. It's also been a athletic sponsor for college sports programs such as Cincinnati, St. John's, Gerogetown, and Michael Jordan's old school North Carolina. The brand also endorses players from all sports realms, including Chris Paul (New Orleans Hornets), Carmelo Anthony (Denver Nuggets), Terrel Owens (Buffalo Bills), Derek Jeter (New York Yankees), and several others.
Who knows what would have happen if Michael Jordan would have signed a sneaker contract with adidas. Would sneaker heads camp out for a 3-stripped branded Jordan shoe? The world would never know. But, we do know that the Air Jordan Jumpman Logo and Nike Swoosh is internationally synonymous with MJ.
Here's a old school commercial for Nike Air Jordan, staring Michael Jordan (as himself) and Spike Lee as Mars Blackmon.

Dropping this fall are the highly anticipated-and might we add-extremely loud Godzilla Blazers by Nike. If there’s a sneaker out there that has any value, chances are there’s a good story behind its inspiration and design. These Blazers are no exception to this rule.
Over a decade ago, Nike teamed up with Charles Barkley, one of the top NBA players of all time, and revolutionized the industry with a new perspective on competition. In a commercial for this campaign, Barkley takes on a hip Godzilla in a battle of the hoops. Barkley does not let mankind down, ending the matchup in a slam dunk to victory. It is this moment that is commemorated in the upcoming Nike Blazer Mid Premiums.
The most captivating feature of these kicks is the reptile skin texture which dominates the sides. An army green toe box is flanked at either side by the Swoosh and tongue, made of soft black leather. The varsity red laces and stitching provide the shoes with a stunning contrast. The beige midsole puts a finishing touch featuring a gum toecap and olive bottom.

Behold the Nike Air Griffey in (Black/White/Red). This is the third color way in the installment of the Nike Air Griffey Max 1, the first two color ways were very successful and made a lot of noise. This shoe pays tribute to Ken Griffey Jr’s eight years with the Cincinnati Reds. The shoe features two tones of black on the top part of the shoe with #24 written on the lateral collar in white, the midsole is also white and the bubbles have a red accent. When you take a look at the bottom of the shoe you see a flaming baseball cut in half. These set to release in the winter 2009.
Here is the sneak peek at the next colorway:
Check out the flaming baseball on the bottom of the sole.
