Air Jordan 60+ Atlanta Hawks
Item# air-jordan-60-atlanta-haw60
$210.00
Product Description
The Air Jordan 60+ is a shoe that combines some of the finest materials used on previous Jordan sneakers. The Jordan 60+ was produced to signify Michael Jordans 60+point achievements during his NBA career. These remarkable achievements came during 5 different games, where Jordan was sporting his signature sneaker line created by Nike. The Jordan Brand legacy officially began on April 20th,1986. One of the most notable moments in Michael Jordans history took place.
The Chicago Bulls were pitted against a very tough Boston Celtics team during the NBA playoffs. MJ sporting a pair of Nike Air Jordan Is, helped score 63 points, but that wasn’t enough to beat the Boston Celtics. Jordan Brand designers used the Jordan I logo on the tongue of the Jordan 60+ to represent the Jordan I. Michael Jordan was adamant about basketball and achievement, his goals were met by his success on and off the court.
In 1987, the Bulls went face to face with the Detroit Pistons. Jordan was sporting a fresh pair of Jordan II’s while scoring 61 points to help elevate the Bulls to a victory against the Pistons 125-120. That wasn’t the last of Jordan’s 60+ runs in 1987 which was a very special season for Michael Jordan, one month after scoring 61 points against the Pistons, Michael Jordan scored 61 points against the Dominique Wilkins and the Atlanta Hawks. The Jordan II shape is very relevant on the Jordan 60+ and is visible in many ways on the Jordan 60+.
On March 28th,1990 - Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls went head on with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Michael Jordan scored a record high 69 points to help beat the Cavs by a score of 117-113. This game is represented by the heavily dominated use of Jordan V elements on the Air Jordan 60+. Many signature design elements from the Jordan V are relevant on the tongue and sole of the Air Jordan 60+.
Michael Jordan didn’t stop there - in 1993 Jordan helped score 64 points against the Orlando Magic. Jordan was a seasoned veteran, going heads up against rookie Shaquille O’neil. During this game Jordan was sporting a fresh pair of Jordan VII’s. Design aspects of the Jordan VII were also taken into consideration when the Jordan Brand created the Air Jordan 60+, some of the design elements include the cuts the Jordan VII maintains. The Jordan 60+ has the same type of fitting styles. The Jordan 60+ is a very special sneaker that is made available here on Osneaker.com. This pair is a Atlanta Hawks pair of Jordan 60+ that maintain a traditional Air Jordan look. This pair is a limited release and will not be available in many stores. Don’t sleep on these!

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: As an avid sneaker head I, like many of Y.O.U., have mixed feelings with regard to all of these Air Jordan fusion releases. In the infalable words of my brother the incomperable Niketown, all of these hybrid concoctions are the "stepped on" B-Work of the sneaker game because they are "stretching it"! LOL.
Be that as it may, when something works ... it just works. The Air Jordan Spiz'ike White Fire/Red-Black and Air Jordan 60+ Atlanta Hawks releases are the best 2-for-5 special going in the hood right now! (NOTE: The prescient pre-order purchase of both of these gems would run Y.O.U. approximately $500 ... hence the "2-for-5" hand-to-hand narcotics peddling allusion). Characteristic of all fusions, both combine various definitive signature elements of some of the most celebrated Air Jordan models from the past in a splendid high quality material mash-up! What more can I say? Cop and go!

Streaming Audio/Download Link: Rick Ross & Triple Cs Ft. Freck The Billionaire - Go (War Remix)(Dirty)(NO DJ)(Floyd Mayweather Diss)
CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Apparently Rick Ross's accusations that Floyd Mayweather likes to stunt with "funny money" did not sit too well with the most-ballin'est-boxer-EVER!
After shitting on the man who put the "C.O." in the word cocaine on some video interview or whatever, Ricky is back with his Triple C's team and Fabolous's Street Fid-di-di-dam's favorite petty crack dealer Freck The Billionaire to dump some copper top shots right back @ the champ.
Even though the homie Mayweather would obviously effortlessly beat the brakes off of ALL of these niggas, this song still goes prison yard hard. BAWSE!

Cinco.
CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Sooooooooo, who would have guessed that asshole South Carolina Congressman (R) Joe Wilson would become such a trendsetter! Yes, lack of decorum is the new "black", behaviorally speaking of course, as both Kanye West and Lil Bow Wow in drag AKA Lil Mama inappropriately bumrushed the stage of last night's MTV V.ideo M.usic A.wards show.
Kanye West's spontaneous combustion occurred when Taylor Swift beat out Beyonce for "Best Female Video Of The Year" or something like that (NOTE: Kanye West was right!) and he bogarded the mic from shorty in an effort to defend Beyonce's honor - Hey! Aint nothing like sucking up to the boss's wife! LOL. Going heavy on the Hennessey will do that to a nigga. It is what it is.
Now, Lil Mama's story is a tad more sad. There are conflicting reports that either A) A drunk Randy Jackson prank called her before the show and put her up to this OR B) Lil Mama got confused and thought that it was "America's Best Dance Crew" time. Did I mention that Lil Bow Ma (I just made that up!) rushed the stage when Jay-Z and Alicia Keys were performing "Empire State Of Mind" off of that BP3? Not that Lil Bow Ma had much of a career to speak of, but, please believe that nobody steals Young Vito's shine and that the industry "blackball" is well in motion.
Oh yeah, Madonna gave an eloquent and, in my esteemed opinion, sincere tribute speech to the late, great Michael Jackson. Janet Jackson lip synched her way through her and her late, great brother's song "Scream". Amber Rose bodied the red carpet. Lady Gaga killed a vulture and wore it to the show and then, during her set, bled all over the stage ... true story. Wale proved that he is a boring media creation with no chance of poppin' in the real world and Beyonce, well Beyonce just did her beautiful thing! Holla @ ya boy in BK!
UPDATE:
Kanye West's ALL CAPS LOCK Apology To Taylor Swift (From His Blog):
"I’M SOOOOO SORRY TO TAYLOR SWIFT AND HER FANS AND HER MOM. I SPOKE TO HER MOTHER RIGHT AFTER AND SHE SAID THE SAME THING MY MOTHER WOULD’VE SAID. SHE IS VERY TALENTED! I LIKE THE LYRICS ABOUT BEING A CHEERLEADER AND SHE’S IN THE BLEACHERS! …………………… I’M IN THE WRONG FOR GOING ON STAGE AND TAKING AWAY FROM HER MOMENT!…………….. BEYONCE’S VIDEO WAS THE BEST OF THIS DECADE!!!! I’M SORRY TO MY FANS IF I LET YOU GUYS DOWN!!!! I’M SORRY TO MY FRIENDS AT MTV. I WILL APOLOGIZE TO TAYLOR 2MRW. WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD!!!! EVERYBODY WANNA BOOOOO ME BUT I’M A FAN OF REAL POP CULTURE!!! NO DISRESPECT BUT WE WATCHIN’ THE SHOW AT THE CRIB RIGHT NOW CAUSE … WELL YOU KNOW!!!! I’M STILL HAPPY FOR TAYLOR!!!! BOOOYAAAWWWW!!!! YOU ARE VERY VERY TALENTED!!! I GAVE MY AWARDS TO OUTKAST WHEN THEY DESERVED IT OVER ME… THAT’S WHAT IT IS!!!!!!! I’M NOT CRAZY YALL, I’M JUST REAL. SORRY FOR THAT!!! I REALLY FEEL BAD FOR TAYLOR AND I’M SINCERELY SORRY!!! MUCH RESPECT!!!!!"

Jay-Z "Answer The Call Concert" Live @ MSG 09/11/09 (Full Concert).
Uno.
Dos.
Video Courtesy Of: Mrworldpremiere.Net
CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: With ticket prices a mere $50, Jay-Z's "I've got a new album to promote" dressed up as benevolent 9/11 memorial "Answer The Call" concert went off without any major hitches last night.
Far from his best concert (@ times his impeccable flow was off and much of the crowd seemed kinda wack in light of what they were witnessing), Jay-Z did manage to pull off a successful show that seamlessly integrated new classics from his Blueprint 3 album along with true classics from previous LP's and guest performances from friends and music industry cohorts.
I recall when a night with Young Vito @ New York City's legendary Madison Square Garden was actually a really colossal event (NOTE: They, and most other large venues, weren't too keen on letting Hip Hop rule for a night), however, now it's like the big homie simply has keys to the place ... lol. It's all good though ... it's still all Brooklyn! Good shit!

Diddy x Anna Wintour Cordially Invite Y.O.U. To Vogue's "Fashion's Night Out" @ Diddy.Com.
CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: So what this video post is a day late and a dollar short, Diddy still continues to impress! Now, how Sean John factors into the hallowed Haute Couture pages of American Vogue magazine is beyond me, but, an online audience with former anti-media-ice-queen-turned-active-spotlight-sponsor Anna Wintour is a fashion culture coup d'état worthy of Livestyle coverage! This is Christopher Wallace B.I.G.! Good shit!
Heart Of The City.
CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: In New York City, our premature Fall-like weather has punctuated this teary-eyed national day of mourning with an appropriate amount of dreary precipitation. Yes, 8 years ago today @ 8:46 AM our world was forever changed. No matter what conspiracy theories that Y.O.U. may harbor and/or anger towards the Bush administration's lies that Y.O.U. may have, it is important that the innocent victims who lost their lives on September 11, 2001 never be forgotten. They are not "collateral damage" ... they are people and the families and loved ones that they left behind deserve our unyielding gratitude and compassion. This will 1-day be a national holiday.
Additionally, let us not forget the First Responders who risked life and limb to tear through the jet fuel and blood soaked rubble and who, though many may have survived that ordeal, are now saddled with horrific health problems with little to no help in sight. Yeah, nearly a decade later and there is still a shamefully sparse hole where the Twin Towers once stood that can only be surpassed by the cavernous hole that has been left in the lives of so many Americans. "All gave some, but some gave all." True indeed. Livestyle salutes Y.O.U. Thank Y.O.U. GOD Bless. Peace.

First x Foremost: Fuck Congressman Joe Wilson!
"Rep. Wilson shouts, 'You lie' to Obama during speech
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A Republican House member shouted, "You lie" during President Obama's health care speech to Congress on Wednesday, and members of both parties condemned the heckling.
After the speech, South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson issued a statement apologizing for his outburst.
"This evening, I let my emotions get the best of me when listening to the president's remarks regarding the coverage of illegal immigrants in the health care bill," the statement said. "While I disagree with the president's statement, my comments were inappropriate and regrettable. I extend sincere apologies to the president for this lack of civility."
Wilson also called the White House to apologize and spoke with Obama's Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, who accepted the apology on the president's behalf, according to a senior administration official.
"We can disagree without being disagreeable," Emanuel said to Wilson, according to the official. "That was the point of the president's speech."
The outburst came when Obama denied that proposed health care legislation would provide free health coverage for illegal immigrants. Immediately, Wilson shouted, "You lie!" Watch the outburst and the chamber's response »
The outburst caused Obama to stop and look toward the heckler. "That's not true," the president responded. Fact check: Will reform plan cover illegal immigrants?
Behind him, U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi appeared shocked and turned toward the outburst as Vice President Joe Biden looked down and shook his head. Loud boos echoed through the chamber immediately after the outburst.
While it was the most attention-getting, Wilson's shout wasn't the only demonstration of displeasure made by Republicans during the speech.
Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, wore a sign around his neck that said, "What bill?" And when Obama asked Republicans to share their health reform ideas with him, a small group raised up a stack of papers above their heads.
After the speech, Republican Sen. John McCain, the Republican presidential candidate defeated by Obama last year, called Wilson's outburst "totally disrespectful" and said he should apologize.
Appearing on CNN's "Larry King Live," he said there was "no place for it in that setting or any other and he should apologize immediately."
Other Republicans also criticized Wilson, along with the expected Democratic condemnation.
"It was crude and disrespectful," said Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, a top Senate Democrat. "I think the person who said it will pay a price."
Read The Full Story Here: CNN.Com
CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: For the record, I am not a person who reflexively labels all unfortunate comments and behavior towards myself and other members of my racial background as "racism". Now, that does NOT mean that I do not recognize the continued culture of depraved ignorance and intolerance towards "others" (whatever that means and whomever such hatred is directed to). That having been said, I believe that South Carolina Congressman (R) Joe Wilson's outburst during President Barack Obama's speech last night was just the latest despicable act perpetrated against the Commander In Chief by an increasingly xenophobic and, YES, racist GOP.
To exhibit such disrespect and lack of restraint in the middle of a presidential address to Congress is unfathomable ... unless, of course, Y.O.U. have no respect for our President in the 1st place. Y.O.U. can disagree without being disagreeable. I know that, too b-a-d some of our elected officials do not. FUCK JOE WILSON AND 10 MOTHERFUCKERS THAT LOOK JUST LIKE HIM! Call him and put him on blast: D.C. Office Number: (202) 225-2452 x S.C. Office Number: (803) 939-0041

The Clipse x Play Cloths Present: One Day In The Tree House Baggin' Up "A Sticky Business".
Baggin Up "A Sticky Business" from Play Cloths on Vimeo.
Co-Editors Note: Compare that to this....
Part 1.
Making a brand .... Dope boy Magic from Joeseph Robinson on Vimeo.
Part 2.
How to buy. from Joeseph Robinson on Vimeo.
All I'm going to say is that I am disappointed with the Clipse. My brother @JoeFreshGoods said it best, "Good artists copy. Great artists steal." The concept behind Dope Boy Magic was to create a brand based off things that shaped our culture growing up in the urban community. The line symbolizes the era of style, art, culture from 1981-1992. Everything about Dope Boy Magic was set out to be innovative and fun, from how the product was sold to the packaging it comes in.
Now whether this "Sticky Business" video was done before or after Dope Boy Magic was put into production is questionable, but I find it ironic that the Clipse video surfaced shortly after they had an in-store at Leaders. S-m-h... Now Y.O.U. tell me what Y.O.U. think.
Signing Off...

It's "Public Option" Time x President Barack Obama Is Not Havin' It! It's Time To Address Congress.
Watch The Streaming Live Video Here: Youtube.Com/WhiteHouse
CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Yes, the Big Homie In Chief is about to address a joint-session of Congress and put the "kabosh" on all of the abhorrent lies and distortions that the Conservative Republican lunatic fringe has been pumping into our national Healthcare Reform debate. Message To Obama: While bi-partisanship is most certainly an admirable goal, these motherfuckers have already told Y.O.U. to kiss their ass ... in so many words. Eschew your natural finesse and drive your message home with true progressive passion Mr. President. THE WORLD IS WATCHING!
Diddy Ft. Notorious B.I.G. x Dirty Money - Angels (Directed By Hype Williams)
CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Ummmmmm, quick question: When will Puff (NOTE: I call him that when it's G-Check time ... lol) get the memo that Biggie's illustrious rhymes should NEVER be haphazardly copied-and-pasted onto a track for his own momentary monetary gain? This off beat force feeding of a classic Biggie verse is unacceptable my friend ... and this isn't Diddy's 1st egregious violation ... he is a predicate play-yourself offender. The singing aint no better. Be that as it may, I am a sucker for a Hype Williams visual. LOL. It is what it is. Back to Live action.
