This Nike Air Jordans Inspired limited-edition Xbox wins the NBA All-Star weekend!

The two giant worlds of tech and sports are colliding or rather collaborating, and I can already hear the NBA fans, sneakerheads and gamers fist-bumping in unison! Microsoft and Nike have teamed up to make a limited-edition custom Xbox One that is rightfully going to paint the town red this Valentine’s day. Here’s the catch – only one lucky Twitter user can win this exclusive console and all you have to do is retweet THIS tweet from Xbox. And if you are looking for Nike’s latest pair of Jordans, you will only find that at the NBA festivities in Chicago.

The bold edition of Xbox is inspired by Nike’s new Air Jordan III Retro U sneaker and you can also spot Nike’s iconic ‘Jumpman’ logo on the right. The top of the console is covered with the elephant print texture that is found on the Jordan shoes and it comes with two controllers. Microsoft hinted at the collaboration and the release of this custom Xbox lines up perfectly with the NBA All-Star in Chicago – also explains why the red was chosen for the console, it is a nod to the Chicago Bulls’ signature shade. Microsoft collaborates with brands for one-of-a-kind Xbox consoles often but this is one of their sleekest designs so far.

If I was you, I would already be retweeting this with both my twitter accounts – you know one for work and one for the rants!

Game Boy Air Jordans: Nintenshoes

Take note, sneaker collectors. Game Boy Air Jordans are here. They may not have a cartridge slot, but these kicks look great. Johnny Barry’s Freaker Sneaks produces super-small runs of custom sneakers and fans can’t get enough of them. Their retro Air Jordans IV’s include NES versions and now there’s a Game Boy pair that looks amazing.

The shoe backs have the handheld’s d-pad and two face buttons embedded on them, while the front flaps have Super Mario Land’s box art and an image from the Game Boy’s green-tinted LCD screen.

One nice bonus is that the buttons are press-able and they include a Game Boy cartridge as a hang tag. So sneaker fans who are also Game Boy fans can only drool over these bad boys. One interesting fact that collectors should know is that both the Air Jordan IVs and the handheld were released in 1989, making this a perfect pop culture mashup.

Just be prepared to pay up. They’re $1,350 a pair, and only 10 pairs will be made. Sadly, that means that most of us mere mortals will never hold them in our hands, let alone put them on our feet. I’m jealous, but congrats to those lucky 10 buyers. Now you’re playing with power.

The Moon Landing Was Not a Hoax, but These Air Jordans Are

Apparently people were super excited about these Air Jordan 11 sneakers. You can see why. These awesome shoes sport a moon landing theme. They were supposedly created by Spanish shoe company sivasdescalzo and were set to debut on December 28. The problem is that the 28th is “el Dia de los Santos Inocentes” which is basically Spanish April Fools Day.

Sadly, they’re a hoax. That’s too bad because these Air Jordans are a great design. They would have made a lot of money. However, all hope is not lost. The company mentions that there is a small possibility of making the design a reality in the future.
