Allen Iverson Gets Hit With A Crossover
December 16, 2009 / Posted in Kicks / Sports

allen-iverson-large

So Allen Iverson may have just been better off retiring from the game of basketball. Back in September, Iverson was traded to Memphis Grizzlies from the Detroit Pistons. Since his trade to Memphis, Iverson was upset that he had to ride the bench, due to serious back injury. Shortly after, in November, Iverson and the Grizzlies parted their ways and Iverson made his way back to the team he first started his professional career with, the Philadelphia 76ers.

But, it may have just been better for the Hampton, VA born Iverson to just settled on top. During a game with the Detroit Pistons, Rodney Stuckey gave Iverson the business. Some may say that that Stuckey, 23, hit Iverson with a astonishing cross-over, but others argue that Allen Iverson tripped. You be the judge.

 


To keep Allen Iverson on top of his game, we compiled some of our hottest basketball kicks. Here's what we recommend for Iverson to roc on the court.

Will T.I. Leave Prison Early?
December 16, 2009 / Posted in Music / Style

t-i-large

Let's cross our fingers and hope that the rumors are true! Today, SandraRose.com reported that the Atlanta rapper may be released early from his bid at Arkansas' Forrest Prison and moved to a half-way house. These rumors have not been confirmed by the proper sources. Currently, T.I. is still serving his original sentence of 366-days, which began back in May.

Regardless of the matter, T.I. is is one of the most trendy rappers in music. In one of our favorite songs, "Live Your Life (featuring Rihanna), the self-proclamied King of the South raps about ignoring haters and urges that we simply live our lives to the very fullest. Tip equally motivates us to stay on top of our game... with style. in the song he spits:

"I'm the opposite of moderate. Immaculately polished. With the spirit of a hustler. And the swagger of a college kid"

To stay fresh and confident in the classroom and keep your 'Mind on your Money', check out some some of our winter selections. Keep your husteler spirit alive and look cool in the classroom in 2010!

Album Review: Wale, "Attention Deficit"
November 16, 2009 / Posted in Music

wale-attention-deficit-album-cover

 

JimmyJazz.com addressed that Wale is “fly” in his Nike Boots in our Blog post last month, and now we can say the same for his debut album, Attention Deficit. Being named “the greatest rapper since Jay-Z,” by GQ magazine, Wale has some huge shoes to fill. The Washington D.C., native is not trying to be politically correct.  Lyrically speaking, the rapper goes hard. The DMV (D.C., Maryland, Virginia) rep and fan of “Go-Go” music discusses self insecurities, triumph, success, and love.

Ladies may refer to him as Mr. Never-Wear-Same-Thing, Attention Deficit delivers a raw emotion that Wale expresses only a woman can deliver. Female sensations Lady Gaga, Jazmine Sullivan, Chrisette Michele, Melanie Fiona and sampled Rihanna assist the visionary.

The mind of a listener is short. Wale wants to change the way music is heard.

Downloads: “Pretty Girls feat. Gucci Mane,” “Shades feat. Chrisette Michele,” “World Tour feat. Jazmine Sullivan,” and “90210.”

Yeah, rapper Jay-Z said on his hit "Run This Town", featuring Rihanna and Kanye West, that 'all black everything' is the new cool, but we here at JimmyJazz.com disagree. Ladies, add a bit of pink to your kicks this Fall/ Winter season before you hit the town or class. We guarentee that you will set the blueprint for style.

R.I.P. DJ AM
August 30, 2009 / Posted in Kicks / Music

dj-am-nike-dunks

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.

Michael Jordan, Nike, AND adidas???
August 27, 2009 / Posted in Kicks / Sports / TV

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.
