Gilbert Arenas In The Air Penny II

Gilbert's stellar shoe game has been well-documented this season, and he recently paid homage to Penny Hardaway by rocking the white Air Penny IIs in a home game against the 76ers.





He already broke out the Penny I during his first home game with Orlando, and I'm willing to bet that we eventually see him in the white/blue Penny IIIs and IVs, not to mention the Royal 1/2 Cents and Foamposite Ones as the season progresses. Gilbert's statistics have unfortunately been less than stellar (to say the least), but at least he's looking sharp out there.

This Game Needs More Zangief

The latest characters to be revealed for MvC3 were Phoenix (of X-Men fame) and Mike Haggar (of Final Fight fame). Really digging the inclusion of Haggar.



Unfortunately, this seems to indicate that Zangief users (such as myself) will have to make do with Haggar instead of the Red Cyclone. Haggar is beyond cool, but how awesome would it have been to be able to team him with Zangief? As the game's release rapidly approaches, rumor is that the remaining characters will be Hsien-Ko, Akuma/Gouki, Sentinel, and Taskmster (!). The roster doesn't come close to the massive MvC2 one, but it's pretty solid overall. There are a lot of notable omissions, but I think that we'll see additional DLC characters once fans start to clamor for them.

ELECTRIC

So I was about ready to compromise and get some Volt Total Uptempos or a pair of Dunkman LeBron VIIs in lieu of not being able to land some Altitude XIIIs, when my prayers for something mean & green for my feet were answered: Air Max Pennys in what appears to be ELECTRIC GREEN.



Insane. No word on whether these will actually release or not, but the prospect alone is enough to get me to set aside some cash. Looks like the PHX pair is a definite pass now.
