BLEACHERS BREW EST. MAY 2006

Someone asked me how my blog and newspaper column came to be titled "Bleachers Brew". It's like this, it's an amalgam of sorts of two things: The bleachers area in the stadium/arena where I used to sit when I would watch baseball, football, and basketball games and Miles Davis' great jazz album Bitches Brew. That's how it got culled together. I originally planned on calling it "The View from the Big Chair" that is a nod to Tears For Fear's second album, Songs from the Big Chair. So there.

We need some air in here


This one's from Sneaker News and it's about one of my top three favorite pairs of kicks of all time: The 90’s were all about Air Jordans but another shoe that shares an equal amount of historic significance is the other AIR shoe – the Nike Air More Uptempo. With the oversized graffiti-like A-I-R upper, the design of Air More Uptempo and the full-length Air is hard to forget, and there’s no doubt these will be easily recognized by anyone who considered themselves a fan of 90’s basketball. This December, we’ll get another shot at copping a fresh pair of the Air More Uptempo in the original black/white colorway as it hits retail stores with a $160 price-tag, so take another look at Scottie Pippen’s classics after the jump and let us know if you’ll make room for these on your Christmas list. You betcha!
