What’s up, everyone? To those who don’t know, I’m Notebook Nick. I’ll be posting here over the All-Star weekend about sneaker releases, athlete appearances, and my first All-Star experience. I’m a huge sneakerhead, and have been in the sneaker game ever since I was old enough to get a job. My first pair of really dope shoes came in my freshman year of high school. I had these crazy gold patent leather adidas Feet-You-Wear. They turned heads everywhere. I’ve been known to rock flashy stuff when I get my hands on it, and those were no exception. Other favorites that I’ve had over the years: White/Orange Reebok Questions, White/Cement AJ IIIs, and my most recent acquisition, the Space Jam XIs. Outside of sneakers, I’m a performance/slam poet – I run a local night in the city, a comic book/action figure fiend, and local hip-hop supporter.
Seeing as I’m here for sneakers, let’s stick to the list. Things I’m most interested in seeing this weekend in no particular order: Copper Foamposite 1s, Brandon Jennings’s Under Armor Prototype 2s (even if they’re only on his feet), the AF1 All-Star releases, the understated adidas Superstars, and the perennial over-the-top player signatures for the big game on Sunday. Really interested to see how the faux-wood grain texture plays out on the LBJ VIIs and the Hyperizes. I’m hyped for my first (and certainly not last) appearance at All-Star Weekend. I’ve heard tons of stories from friends in the blogging world, as well as other sites that I regularly read, and hopefully, most of the positive ones come true. Cubes has said that this year’s festivities are supposed to be the best ever, and judging by the way he wrangled Cowboys Stadium for the big show, I’m assuming he’ll follow through on his promises. I’m going to try to give everyone a steady flow of information this weekend not only through the site, but also over on Twitter (@NotebookNick), the goal is to keep you as informed and up to the minute with what’s going on down here. Sneaker releases are a huge part of this weekend, and we’re hoping to keep you on top of it. Keep checking back for the latest postings and info.
