JavarisIsOnMars fashion , LOUIS VUITTON 0 Comments

Following the opening of its first store in the famous Swiss ski resort in 2004, Louis Vuitton inaugurates a new winter resort store on the renowned Promenade, Gstaad. The popular winter destination seems an appropriate choice given the fact that 2012 marked the historic site’s 700th anniversary of providing ample and valuable real estate for those looking for a little bit of adventure. The store is a subtle mixture of the architectural traditions and principals of Louis Vuitton and the personality of the region – thus evoking refinement, luxury and a poetic journey that takes visitors to the heart of the Alpine valley.

Oregon Ducks x Air Jordan III & IV

For the University of Oregon, the benefits for being Phil Knight‘s favorite college and Alma mater are insurmountable, trickling all the way down to exclusive collaborations with subsidiaries like the Jordan Brand. During his recent visit to Complex for its end of the year sneaker round table, ‘Tier Zero’ sneaker enthusiast DJ Clark Kent offered a look at a recent collection that included the Air Jordan III and Air Jordan IV models in the green and yellow colorway of Oregon Ducks. Unfortunately little is known of this collection, but it would be interesting to hear what you think about it and Oregon’s long list of collaborative efforts with Nike.

Nike Sportswear Air Max 90 “Tree Snake”

Nike Sportswear take a trip to the world of reptiles with its latest “Tree Snake” edition of the Air Max 90. Featuring a colorway concoction of poison green, black and neutral grey; the “Tree Snake” is complete with snakeskin accents for this new take on the classic silhouette. First produced in 1990 under the moniker of the Air Max II, the 90 range changed its name to that of its year of release when re-issued in 2000. Since then the Air Max 90 has become one of the most popular silhouettes in the Nike Air series alongside the Air Max 1 and Air Max 95. Now the iconic sneaker appears in this latest design, taking influence from the vibrant tree snake to create an exciting color and textile combination.

Nike Air Max 1 OG

JavarisIsOnMars fashion , must have 0 Comments

There’s much to be said for a “classic.” Something classic defies time and context and, beyond shifting tastes and cultural boundaries, a classic always makes the same bold statement. Indeed, there’s something beautifully consistent about the classic; it can do no wrong. If ever there was a silhouette that revolutionized the way people think about sneakers, it’s Nike‘s Air Max 1 – a true classic by any standard. Nike gave this version of the Air Max 1 the OG treatment, releasing a clean Sail/University Red-Neutral Grey-Black version of the shoe with vintage details throughout. The upper, composed of suede and mesh, offers superior comfort, no doubt reinforced by the Max Air bubble at the heel for cushioning. An essential in any shoe collection, this no-frills Air Max 1 OG retails for €149.95 EUR (approximately $198 USD) and is now available via Berlin-based Overkill.

This special edition has been unearthed from Nike’s vault with vintage details, yet hasn’t lost a step over the past two decades. The Nike Air Max 90 OG retails for €149.95 EUR (approximately $198 USD) and is now available from Berlin’s Overkill.

Nike Christmas Versions of the Kobe 8 System, LeBron X and KD V

As Christmas draws ever-closer, Nike Basketball presents three seasonal versions of the Kobe 8 System, LeBron X and KD V. Kobe’s signature shoe draws inspiration from the rhinoceros viper and features bright red and yellow scales that mimic a Christmas tree garland. The LeBron X harnesses a red diamond colorway accented by a sun-washed green and also features a metallic-like reflection on the vibrant upper. Finally, the KD V is inspired by that gift everyone relishes receiving on Christmas: a new video game system. Nike designers created the upper design, sockliner graphic and tongue tab logo for Durant’s special Christmas Day shoe with that in mind – blending these details with a combination of Nike Zoom (forefoot) and Nike Air (heel) cushioning along with a Hyperfuse upper and dynamic heel support. All three sneakers release at various Nike accounts on December 26, 2012.

Not really a sneaker line but owns a lot of sneakers. So it's only right that we toss out a couple for you guys. The top of the year will see a lot of stuff from Sanquon. So don't spend all the money you got over the holidays. You got some spending to do in 2013.

I made it to the chip. Who would think that the person that knew nothing about Fantasy Football would make it to the chip. I'm the same man that got a couple people that either got hurt (Bienie Wells) or just didn't show up at all this season (Matt Stafford) in the first couple of rounds. I have the man with the Madden Curse on my team (Megatron) and made it to the chip. I'm really proud of myself for pulling out the win's this far. I didn't think I would win anything after starting 0-3. Now comes the time when I over think everything.

The Show "Catfish" Got Y'all Thinking #DylanCandyBreak

JavarisIsOnMars DylanCandyBreak , My 2cent 0 Comments

If it's one thing we all know, it's that everything ain't what it seem. Nothing pushes that saying more then the internet. The internet is where you can be any and everything you ever dream to be, to the people you don't know. Some people take full advantage of that. Which brings me to the new series on MTV "Catfish". Catfish is about people that fall in love over the internet, with people they have never met. They have not Skype or any other video type thing with the person, they just know each other through pictures. They fell in love with each other through pictures and messages they send each other online on via text.

I Made The Playoffs In My Fantasy Football League

JavarisIsOnMars Me , 0 Comments

It may sound really cheesy but I'm just happy to be here, the number 2 seed in the playoffs. I would have had the 1st seed but the system don't like me. Seeing that we both have the same record. This is my first team playing Fantasy Football and to be real, I didn't know shit about it. I mean we all know I know football but besides watching the TV show "The League" I knew nothing about what to do. Me and my friends joined a NFL ran league and it was on.

My team name is "Your Mom Like To Shake Weight" cause you know... Your Mom Like To Shake Weight.

I was Google searching like my life was on the line. Google helped a little and it also didn't help at all. I was what they like to call a "Stat Whore" I was going by the numbers, kinda. You see I didn't know how many running back you need and how many WR's and other things, Google didn't tell me all that. So when the draft started I passed up on a couple of people. I picked MegaTron in the first and Matt Stafford in the next round. What the hell was I thinking when picking him.

That looks like it's right outside of Ezra door. Did Ezra knock up Aria? That wouldn't be a shocker. Don't lie, you thinking it too.
