During the weekend’s release of the Air Jordan 7 “Olympic”, another big brawl broke-out in Pennsylvania. Carlos Mejia, 19, was charged for sending three kids to the hospital; one a 17-year-old boy who was treated for a head wound, Joel Fernandez, 21, was stabbed to his abdomen, and Christopher Vega, 19, was treated for stab wounds to his ribs and arm. The knife used by Carlos, was later found in a nearby garbage can.
It’s sad to hear these types of violence take course while people camp-out for their awaited releases. There has been no confirmed news on whether this altercation was about the Olympic 7 release, or if it was an erupted argument led into this brutal fight while camping out. Despite what it was about, these types of violence during releases need to stop. It’s pointless, senseless, and just not necessary. Stay tuned to Sneaker Bar for more updates as it develops.

This year was LeBron James and the Miami Heat’s first title run together. However, looking back to last year, Nike actual made a special unreleased Championship pair of the Nike LeBron 8. Seen here is the Nike LeBron 8 P.S. Red/Gold Sample that Nike had planned to release for LeBron James, expected they had won the title. We all know how that story ended, but with a Championship victory this year, I guess all is well now. Let us know if you are feeling this pair, and if your answer was yes; than hit up aznkevin888 on eBay.
Back in 1998, the Air Jordan 13 “Flint” was the pair of sneakers everyone considered a must-cop, and back than releases only dropped in-store. The Air Jordan 13 “Flint” originally released in 1998, and later retro’d in 2005 both retailing for $150. Five years later, Jordan Brand than retro’d them again in 2010 with an increase price tag of $160. They featured a French Blue/University Blue/Flint Grey-White colorway, with 3M reflective side panels.
Even though it’s been two years since we seen them hit retailers, do you think it’s time for Jordan Brand to bring back the “Flint” 13s for a fourth time (considering Michael Jordan never had a four-peat)? The Air Jordan 13 are rumored to make a comeback next year 2013, in the “Bred” and “He Got Game” colorway. So considering Jordan Brand is itching a Air Jordan 13 Retro for next year, could we possibly see a “Flint” return? Let’s hope so, which many would debate these are one of the more popular 13s to release. Leave your thoughts and answers in the comment section below?

The Original Commercial from 1985
It was 1998, when Spike Lee aka Mars Blackmon and Michael Jordan hooked up for their iconic 30 second TV commercials; which first featured the Air Jordan 3. That following year, Spike Lee put special Air Jordan’s in his movies, like “Do The Right Thing”. In the movie there was a scene that included Buggin Out getting his Air Jordan 4’s ran over and scuffed, which led to his unforgettable reaction.
The Air Jordan 3 also made a cameo in the movie, which later lead to a special release of a Air Jordan 3 “Do The Right Thing”. Inspired by the movie’s poster with the colors of Brisk Blue/Pro Gold-Radient Green, these kicks instantly became a classic. To those that never had the chance to cop a pair, here is a chance now; as a couple pairs have hit eBay.
