Nike Big High Fred Flintstones
Just because it’s been a while since I posted some hot ass kicks on here, I figured I’d continue that wait and post some relatively ugly but interesting kicks today.
The Nike Big High Fred Flintstone is the latest release for the Nike Big High and it is very unique. This really cool shoe has the Fred Flintstone orange and black pattern on the side.
So here are the Nike Big High Fred Flintstone’s:

NES-Inspired Sneakers
A little while back, Kix and the City showcased a couple of pairs of Nintendo-inspired shoes that are worth mentioning now, since I’ve talked about the Birds too much recently to gloat over Sunday’s game:
Nike Air Max BW Classic NES
Nike Wildwood NES
The Syracuse Hyperdunks: Hot If You Like Syracuse (or the Color Orange)
Some sick, sick, sick ass shoes I found on kixandthecity while waiting for this damn World Series “Game” to start here in the Congo:
Sick Ass Shoe Alert – ?uestlove Air Force One
Air Max ’90 Hamburger
The greatest shoe in the history of Nike sneakers has been immortalized in the form of a hamburger, quite possibly the greatest food in the history of mankind:
swedish illustrator/ designer olle hemmendorff was commissioned, together with 7 other creatives
(patrik söderstam, hanna wieslander, marguerite seger, jonas wiehager and fredrik skogkvistby)
by nike to interpret a nike sportswear icon. hemmendorff created a burger sculpture of nike’s ‘air max 90’.‘in the tradition of material innovation of AM 90, I constructed a running shoe using the most powerful, must durable and most delicious material known to man: hamburger.’ OH
the 8 artworks will be shown at the 1912 space inside sneakers ‘n’ stuff, stockholm for the next two months.
MJ vs. Kobe: No Match
As if this comparison needed any more analysis to show that Michael Jordan is a far superior basketball player than Kobe Bryant ever will be, a friend of mine directed me to a fantastic website pointing out just how lopsided the comparison truly is. Here are a few choice statistical tidbits:
If Kobe were to play another ten seasons of 80 games apiece (for 800 games total), he would have to average over 35.5 points per game for the rest of his career to match Jordan’s career scoring average. He hasn’t even had one season that high.
Kobe could make 1500 consecutive shots, and he still wouldn’t be above Jordan in shooting efficiency.
In order to match Jordan’s assists numbers by the time he’s played as long as Jordan did, Kobe needs to average 7.2 assists per game. Kobe has never even done this for a week.
Games with:
Jordan Bryant
15 20+ shots made while shooting over 60% 3
77 15+ shots made while shooting over 60% 18
174 15+ shots made while shooting over 50% 46

Coolest Shit of the Week: The “I Should Be Studying for the MPRE’s” Edition
Considering I have already failed the MPRE’s once and am already well on pace for number two tomorrow, I figured that I may as well spend some time posting on my blog, since, if anything, it always helps me review the ABA Code of Professional Conduct.
So, here’s the Coolest Shit of the Week:
Lists of the Week
- The top 20 stupid faces made by patrick swayze in ghost: Definitely worth checking out. Even if you hate Whoopi Goldberg (which I may or may not).
- Your standard 50 gayest songs of all-time list.
- 10 things your dad never told you about sex: I was going to put this under “Learning of the Week,” but then I remembered that most of my readers
don’t have fathersare pimps.
Learning of the Week
- An economic analysis discussing how easy it would be to trade with aliens. We’re talkin E.T. here, not Paco.
Funny Shit of the Week
- Maybe one of the saddest, funniest Craigslist postings ever, succinctly titled: to the guy doing my wife.
Sickest Pictures of the Week
- Pictures of people holding the sun: much, much cooler than those pictures you always see of some guy holding up the Leaning Tower of Pisa (please don’t click on that link).
Ironic Picture of the Week
Websites I Wish I Thought of First of the Week
- FUH2.com: Sporting a truly remarkable gallery of pictures featuring people flipping off Hummers and much, much, more, this crazy acronym of a site (“Fuck You and Your H2”) certainly lives up to its name.
Nature Shit of the Week
- Nature is good: the world’s biggest mirror.
Hot Ass Kicks of the Week
- Finally, and courtesy of Kixandthecity, these Air Max 90’s are the hot ass kicks of the week. And they will soon be mine. And by “mine” I mean “on my blog.”
Now…….wish me luck on the MPRE’s.
If God Wore Shoes….
He’d probably be wearing Birkenstocks or something, but if he was a Phillies fan he would definitely be wearing these:
Here’s a link to myself so that I can buy them right when I clear up that whole “negative balance in my bank account” thing: S.Phils
