If I were to ask you what your favourite sneaker of all time was, what would you say? What genre of sport would this shoe fall into? Baseketball, Running or Football?
With all these retros being re released these last couple of years, many of us have been fortunate enough to see our favourites come back to retail. For myself, the news of the Air Jordan III being released in 2011 is amazing news. Although I'm a proud owner of a pair already, I made sure to get another pair for a rainy day! I can say with confidence that my favourite shoe stems from Nike's celebrated basketball lineage. If you were to ask Fatz, he'd tell you that his favourite sneaker, the Air Max 90 "Infrareds" stem from another of Nike's celebrated lines.
If you've been following the blog, you can tell that we're pretty much Nike guys and have been for sometime. You cannot deny the fact that Nike has produced some of the best and most iconic sneakers in the game. But the real question begs, which of Nike's lines is better?
Nike started out producing runners and is considered to be their bread and butter of the last 20 years. In more recent years, Nike's basketball line has started to surpass their heritage as being one of, if not their most profitable lines. If I were to ask you which of Nike's lines instead of which shoe was your favourite, what would you say?
Nike Running has produced some iconic sneakers like the Air Max 1/90/95/97/360, Presto, lunarglides, etc... While Nike Basketball has produced Air Jordans, Pennys, Kobes, LBJs, etc... Which side would you choose if you could only choose one?
We recently brought to your attention that the Air Jordan III would be partaking in the annual Doernbecher charity.
JB's released a preview of the model which features a red/black upper, silver/black midsole and clear outsole. A lasering design covers the upper in checkered design. Proceeds from the sale of this shoe will go to the Doernbecher Hospital for Kids in Portland. Show your support and get a pair of truly unique sneakers in the process!

You may be wondering why I don't have the Air Jordan XI "Cool Greys" on this list which are set to drop on 12/23/2010. Many sneakerheads/jordanheads would consider this their holy grail but not me. Although I appreciate the colourway and I love the silhouette, I'm a bigger fan of the Concords, BREDs and Space Jams. Plus, I'm not really looking to go through all the hassle of grabbin a pair of these since it'll be total mayhem (case in point last year's Space Jam drop).
Unless I can grab a pair w/o hassle I think I'm gonna have to say thanks but no thanks...
