Air Jordan 2 QF Black/White

Released in 1986, the second design by Tinker Hatfield was made in Italy. This was also the year Michael Jordan averaged 37.1 PPG, winning his first scoring title. He also won the NBA dunk competition, was an NBA All-Star and made the All-NBA First Team.

 

Kenneth Cole KC3784

This quartz watch is really good looking, it looks much better in person too. The quality is much better than the KC3928 which felt like a toy, this is a lot more solid but you still can’t compare it to good Swiss watches.

It features a day/date/hour complications, but I’m not able to adjust all of them, since the crown only changes two settings and the manual covers all of the Kenneth Cole range of watches but I can’t seem to find this particular one. The case has a diameter of 41mm and the hour and minute dials are luminous. It is water resistant up to 30m.

I found the band of the watch to be flimsy, and it was coming loose off the case when I first got it. I had the tools to fix it though, but I would expect better quality control. The band is 21mm wide and uses a deployment clasp.

 

Nike Air Flight Classic Black/White

The Air Flight Classic are nice casual sneakers which include a retro design.

It shares the same midsole as the Air Jordan IV and Air Flight ’89, it also features the cement print.

It also shares the same sole as the Air Jordan IV.

Nike Air Logo on the back.

Flight Insignia on the tongue. It is reminiscent of the Air Jordan V tongue, minus the 3m and the Jumpman Logo.

 

Jordan Rare Air United We Rise

The United We Rise colorway sports the Team USA colors and was released for the FIBA world championships. Just like the Spizikes, the Rare Airs are a hybrid shoe. Its a mixture of the Air Jordan 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.

Tongue and Lace locks from the Air Jordan 5.

Air Jordan 4 Outsole.

Air Jordan 3 Elephant print, midsole is a mixture of Air Jordan 4 and 6.

Air Jordan 2 Heel tab on the upper.

Air Jordan VII Orion

Released in 1992, Mike wore these for his second championship with the Bulls, and also for the Olympics where the Dream Team won by a margin of 40+ points every game. These shoes have a tight fit and employed Nike’s then new huarache type ankle support.

The main difference in the outsole of the VIIs compared to the VIs is the non clear sole, yellowing was a major problem with the VIs.

Michael’s jersey #23, is on the back of the shoe. #9 was used for the Olympic colorway.

Air Jordan III Stealth

Released in 1988, the Jordan III is probably the most popular shoe released by Nike, and is Michael’s favorite pair.

This is a hate it or love it colorway, but I personally love this pair and they look great in jeans. They do look very similar to the cool greys, but the addition of red makes it look so much better. These feature the jumpman logo at the back, it would look much better with the swoosh and ‘Nike Air’ logo though.

With this release they started using a new box, which is smaller than the traditional black/grey box and also includes some elephant print which is a nice touch. The Cement IVs that released recently also use a similar box, but it includes ‘Flight’ and also has cement print.

Jarager Automatic Tourbillon Watch

This is a pretty cool watch I picked up from Ebay for around $30 (I wouldn’t pay any more than that). (Warning: never buy any decent brand watch from Ebay because its most likely to be fake, the whole paypal buyer protection is a joke, trust me). Its a cheap Chinese brand called “Jarager”.

 

Video Demonstrating Continuous Movement

This particular watch is automatic and has continuous movement.

It has a tourbillon but I’m certain its not real, and its only there for aesthetics. The quality is actually pretty decent but I can’t comment on the accuracy.

 

Air Jordan VI

The Air Jordan VI Varsity Red was retroed in 2010, not to be confused with the Infrared colorway (which has a marginally different red accent).

 

They have used suede instead of nubuck for this release, the icy soles have managed to stay clean and not yellow over the last two  years. These are the kicks MJ wore during his first championship.

Kenneth Cole KC3928 Watch Unboxing and Review

The KC3928 really stands out from other watches because of the nonconforming use of a silver face. Its very elegant and is bound to grab attention. However the main drawback of this watch is the construction. Kenneth Cole does not specialize in making watches and this particular watch is made in China and is likely to have a Chinese movement, I can’t comment on the accuracy because this watch lacks a minute hand. It feels really light and the metal doesn’t have that ‘cold’ feeling. It is a great deal though, because it is reasonably priced and it looks unique. I would recommend this if you can get past the construction and quality issues. Check out the gallery and unboxing below.

• 41mm case (not including crown)
