Larry Johnson x Packers Shoes Event Recap

Loved the display for the event. Nice use of the "Fila" font style on the Packers logo
Fila FX-100s! Lori (Bawse) balled in these at the FSF picnic in 2009 (check http://femalesneakerfiend.com/events/FSF%20BBQ/lorihooping_FSFBBQ450.jpg). Sorry Jello her D is too intense = )
Mike (owner of Packers Shoes) and Larry Johnson chop it up
Fee with the J and Larry with the L. Peep the UNLV red FSF long sleeve! Dude looks like he could still get out and drop 10pts and 5boards a game
Jeff (an OG FSFF: Female Sneaker Fiend Fiend) acts as a spokesmodel for the apparel and hits us with the brown steel.

Overall a GREAT event...Larry was super nice and signed/talked to everyone. Just don't call him Grandmama. Thanks Mike and Larry

THE AIR MAX LEBRON VIII

Ok I jumped on the bandwagon a little late! Initially when I saw the Nike Air Max Lebron VIII I wasn't impressed and kinda upset about the follow up to the VII. I wasn't thrilled about the paneling of flywire and leather/suede. After seeing the Hardwood Classic (HWC) from the Sneaker Pimps Tour in Chicago my Lebron light switched back on! This weekend to celebrate the grand opening of a new HOUSE OF HOOPS in Miami at the Dadeland Mall, the highly anticipated SOUTH BEACH/MIAMI VICE/PRE HEAT edition drops and I MUST HAVE THESE!!! The AMLB VIII features a 360 Air Max cushion bubble all along the outsole which is great for a New Yorker like myself who walks alot. There is in fact less flywire which is only along the rear of the shoe as opposed to the VII which dominated the upper. On the tongue there is the mighty Lebron Lion, or for the CHINA edition, a traditional dragon mask. The rest is either full grain leather or nubuck suede throughout the upper. Check out the pics below and let me know if you already were or are now on the bandwagon!
