Growing up, Larry Jordan was always the better basketball player than Michael Jeffrey Jordan. Even The GOAT himself admitted that. But Larry never made it to the NBA, while younger brother Mike was drafted 3rd overall in the 1984 NBA Draft and became the biggest star basketball has ever seen.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

There are high expectations for the Air Jordan 11 “Legend Blue” aka “Columbia” dropping later this year. It’s an annual tradition for Jordan Brand to drop a marquee Air Jordan 11 release during every holiday season, and with nearly a year’s worth of previews, leaks, organic coverage, unboxings, and Instagram posts, Jordan Brand has very little to do when it comes to marketing the product. Simply put, Air Jordan 11s are the “must-have” shoe every holiday shopping season, and for 2024 the Jumpman will unleash a long-awaited version that could shatter records.

The Air Jordan 11 “Legend Blue” Could Be Jordan Brand’s Top-Selling Sneaker Of 2024

Here’s a headline that I never thought i’d write: the Wu-Tang Dunk is releasing to the public. Originally releasing in 1999, this mythical sneaker — a collaboration with the Wu-Tang Clan — featuring the original yellow/black “Iowa” aka” Goldenrod” colorway of the Dunk High with the Wu-Tang logo stamped into the heel. It is generally accepted that 36 pairs made their way to the public, dropping exclusively at Training Camp, a sneaker boutique in New York City known for its notable clientile. However, close to 100 pairs were produced with half going to the Wu-Tang Clan and the other half staying with Nike.
