The Air Jordan shoe has been a staple on the court and on the fashion scene, as well. Some say that the Air Jordan brand has fallen off late because the design of the shoes isn’t as good as models in the past. However, the Air Jordan brand sneaker still remains to have a cult following. Sneaker heads have been salivating at the mouth to see what the Air Jordan as in store for them this year.

IVERSON HEADED TO KNICKS?

The NBA season just got the ball rolling less than a month ago. However, there has already been a major change within the league. The biggest so far is that the Memphis Grizzlies have announced that they have severed ties with 10-time All-Star and former league MVP Allen Iverson. After three NBA season games the perennial Hall of Famer is once again without a team. The two parties have called the transaction a mutual agreement. For those who don’t know Iverson began an indefinite leave of absence from the team on Nov.7 to deal with personal issues. There has been speculation that Iverson left the team due to lack of playing and the minimal role he was giving on a team filled with unproven talent. Iverson actions are parallel to what went on when he played for the Detroit Pistons last year; he refused to come off the bench. Iverson is a great player with a lot of gas still left in his tank. Even though, he is up there in age it seems as though he hasn’t missed a step. I think Allen Iverson needs to just comeback home to the Philadelphia 76ers where he achieved 99% of his greatness. He would be a breath of fresh air to the 76ers and bring more life to the city once again. However, all wishes don’t come true so we just have to sit back and watch which team takes a chance on the future Hall of Famer that transcended the game.

WALE NIKE 1/2 CENT

There is no question that Wale is one of the most talented and upcoming rappers in the music industry. Wale has made his name known on the rap scene by constantly putting out high quality mixtapes. Wale’s highly anticipated studio album will release sometime this month. However, Wale has made his mark on the fashion scene, as well. Wale is arguably the biggest rapper sneakerhead we have seen to date. Wale’s collection is endless and boasts a lot of variety of styes. From a fellow sneakerhead, his collection is sick and you have no choice, but to respect it. Wale is famous for wearing sneakers months upon months before their release date.

With that being said; let’s talk about Wale wearing the Nike Air 1/2 Silver/Black color way. The 1/2 Cent’s have quickly become a respected shoe even though they are fairly new. Wale was spotted wearing these shoes in the summer during one of his performance. These shoes are nice and definitely should be added to any sneakerheads collection. I have great news they are finally available for the masses. The Nike Air 1/2 Cent are now available at select VILLA locations.
