As promised, we would keep you updated about the Bobbito x Nike Air Force Ones. Earlier this morning we posted a sketch of the first Bobbito edition AF1s set to release in mid April and now we have some really nice shots of these sneakers. The first pair celebrates Kool Bob Love’s Love for basketball and records. More than just a sneaker connoisseur, Bobbito is a streetball legend as well as a a master on the ones and twos. Each side celebrates two facets of Bobbito’s life all wrapped up in one of his other loves, sneakers.
The shoes are not only a nice pair of shoes, but if you take a step back and look at the history of sneaker culture, you couldn’t present it any better. Basketball and Hip Hop are the foundations for sneaker culture today. Take away one or the other and the game wouldn’t be the same. Look for these April 14th for $125. (click here to view more)
In efforts to celebrate the Quai 54, the biggest streetball tournament in Europe, Jordan Brand will release two special edition sneakers that make up the “Wine and Grind” collection. The “Wine” Air Jordan Fusion 5 comes in a burgundy color and have all the fine touches such as gold accents and faux reptile skin. Consider these the shoes for the wining and dining one will do at night in Paris after a hard days’ grind on the court. The “Grind” Air Jordan Ernesto is set for the court and will release along with the Fusions tomorrow, July 5th only in Paris.
The Wine Jordan Fusion 5 will release at Opium Paris and Collette and the Ernesto will release at Footlocker in addition to the two other shops mentioned. Take a look at more shots of the shoes after the jump provided by LAMJC

The Air Jordan 1 X Quai 54 features a Black/White colorway reminiscent to the Air Jordan 1 High from the Air Jordan 1/22 Countdown Pack. It also features the Jordan wings towards the side panels and the words ‘Team’ right below the wings.
For those of you who don’t know, Quai 54 is an International Streetball Tournament held in France.Jordan Brand sponsored the event this past year. If you are feeling these, pick them up now at Marquee Sole.

To promote the coming of the Nike Hyperdunk, the Swoosh and Weiden +
Kennedy put together a creative campaign depicting one wearing the revolutionary shoes while flat out embarrassing dunking on another individual including one pose that landed the “dunked on” individual’s face between the other man’s legs. Written over the ads were common streetball trash talk including “That Ain’t Right”. While many basketball heads saw one thing, some individuals saw it differently and thought that Nike was stating that homosexuality was not “right.”
Though the ad was pulled, it wasn’t enough for Nike to stop the production of the Nike Hyperdunk That Ain’t Right Pack that has laneded at the Nike Online Store for $110. While the trash talk phrase clearly makes it to the sole, the man getting tea bagged will forever be a memory. Thanks Sneaker News!
