Recently with the induction of MJ into the hall of fame and the upcoming 25th anniversary of Jordan Brand, Niketown NYC prominently displayed the History of Air collection. The H.O.A. collection which contains the entire Jordan lineage line (AJI - AJ2009) sports an all White/Red colourway on each model but don't hold your breath as these aren't expected to be a retail release.

I'm sure they'll pop up on the 'bay but unless you're Bill Gates or that dude who created Facebook, good luck coppin these!

Without any hesitation, the "Pretty Boy" called out "Pacman" right after his win against Cotto.

Although it hasn't been confirmed, it looks like we're going to see an epic fight in the near future to really determine who is considered the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world of boxing.

Check out the story from Sky Sports and an interview with Mayweather here.

Welcome to this week's installment of Kickstart Mondays where we feature a sneaker/sneaker line. This week we'll be discussing another installment of the ever popular Nike Air Max line, the Nike Air Max '95. The AM'95 was first released in 1995 after Nike designer Eric Avar came up with the idea to base a shoe on the human anatomy (i.e. the human ribcage) which is evident throughout the upper of the shoe. The AM'95 is considered to be one of the most iconic Air Maxes in the line, most notably the infamous OG Neon colourway which it was first released under. A huge success worldwide, the Nike AM'95 took new heights in the Asian market where it literally blew up overnight. The AM'95 also contained a number of other iconic features such as; the first Air Max to have air units compressed at different pressures, 3M material throughout the heal tab and also the gradient colour design found on the upper.

My memories of these kicks started back in '95 when they were first released. A hommie of mine used to rock all the Nike Air Maxes and this one was no different. I remembered the first day he came to class after his family trip to Asia and started sporting the OG Neons. They just popped and I fell in love with the shoe. Like most ppl, I couldn't afford them at the time cause they were real expensive but I've since been able to cop a pair or two...

To date, the Nike AM'95 has dropped over 100 different colourways not including the ones being created on nikeID. Do you have love for the AM'95s? Rumour is that Nike will be dropping the OG Neons again in 2010 accompanied by a full apparel line with the launch. Will you cop a pair this time through?

If you were under a rock this weekend, then you probably didn't know that the Pride of the Philippines, Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao took on Miguel Cotto this Saturday in "Firepower" @ the MGM Grand in LV.

Pacman took the fight in the 12th round by TKO raising speculation that his next opponent would be the "Pretty Boy" Floyd Mayweather. Now in the past, Mayweather has suggested that problems btw management may cause the fight to not happen. What do you think?

Who do you think has the upper hand? The undefeated Mayweather or the man most ppl consider the greatest pound-for-pound fighter, Pacquiao?

Who YOU got?

If you've been following Dwyane Wade's jump from Converse to JB then you'll probably have heard the huge statement Jordan made about Dwyane Wade. According to sources, MJ has publicly stated that he's going to be passing the torch to Dwyane Wade where he'll be the leader of Team Jordan!

This is BIG news considering the other stars aligned to the brand who have been there far longer than DWade like Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony and Ray Allen.

Do you think DWade deserves to be the captain of Team Jordan?
