White Sox AL Central Champs!!!

Thanks to Jim Thome’s bat and Ken Griffey Jr.’s arm, there’s finally a winner in the AL Central: The Chicago White Sox are headed to the playoffs.

John Danks pitched eight innings of two-hit ball, Thome homered to center and Griffey threw out a runner at the plate with a tough tag by A.J. Pierzynski, helping Chicago beat the Minnesota Twins 1-0 in a 163rd-game tiebreaker to win the division Tuesday night.

The White Sox joined the Cubs in the postseason, the first time since 1906 that both Chicago teams are in.

Next up for the South Siders, a first-round matchup with the surprising Rays. Game 1 is Thursday at Tampa Bay.

Nike Sportswear Dunk High Black/Charcoal Grey-Varsity Red!! Dope!!

Wow! You can't hate on these at all! This new Nike Dunk High colorway is by far one of the best ever seen on this sneaker. With the different shades of grey and the strong accents of varsity red, this shoe begs for attention(especially the red)! The 'mountain man' design on the in-soles give the sneaker an unique feature. They have yet to surface at our local spots, but they have arrived at Cali Roots in Sweden. Is this the best colorway you've seen on the Nike Dunk? If not, post your favorite Dunk colorway in the comment section!

Air Jordan 9 and 10 Marcus Jordan PE

It must suck to be Michael Jordan's son if you're trying to play basketball; but then again it might not be that bad. You will see two exclusive colorways of the Air Jordan 9 and the Air Jordan 10. These PE's were made specifically for Marcus Jordan (shown here), the youngest son of Michael Jordan. Marcus, one of the top point guard prospects in high school, sported these while playing for his Rising Stars Gold AAU team. The Jordan 9's contain a black upper with yellow accents, and the Jordan 10's are draped in a white upper with yellow accents.

As most PE's, these kicks will never be released to the public and are evident by Marcus Jordan's number 5 stitched on the heel. Not bad being MJ's son after all! Are these colorways appealing to the eye?

Maserati Granturismo Mc Corse Concept

The Maserati Granturismo Mc Course Concept features a few upgrades over the standard model. One of the most noticeable differences is the new aero package that outfits the car up with a revised and enlarged rear spoiler, and prominent front splitter that is to prevent air from passing under the car. The car has also been lightened. Maserati says the Mc Corse weights less than 3086 pounds and also draws more power from the 4.7-liter V-8, which provides 450 horsepower and 376 pound-feet of torque.

Overall, I think the car looks way hotter. What do you think?

Yeezy Won’t Be Prosecuted for Airport Attack!!

It appears as though Kanye won’t be doing hard time:

Los Angeles County prosecutors have decided not to file felony charges against Kanye West and his manager in regard to a recent arrest at LAX in which a paparazzo’s camera was broken. According to the Associated Press, prosecutors have yet to decide whether or not they will charge West with a misdemeanor. West was arrested on September 11, click here if you haven’t read about it, after he and his manager became involved in an altercation with a paparazzo, resulting in the rapper struggling with the photog before smashing the flash to his camera on the floor.

This should be a notice to all paparazzi, paparazzo, and whatever else they call those stalkers. Sometimes, you just gotta get the f*ck out of the way and let a brother be. If you don’t, you are at risk for getting your ass whooped, and having the judge say, “you deserved it!” Don’t stop there, Yeezy, push the limits of the law even further…

Slam Jam x Nike Air Force 1

Having seen its official release via the collaborating store Slam Jam on Saturday, September 20th, here's an in-depth look at the Italian boutique's very first Air Force 1 effort with Nike. Beyond the simple make-ups that adorn the four colorways are various subtle details. The often smooth properties of patent leather undergo a special process to create a wrinkled effect. As the leather wraps around the midsole, the heel includes Slam Jam branding. Two little known inclusions are the screw-on lace aglets and the combination stainless steel and leather keychain. Four colorways are available and will hit select Nike retailers.
