The inspiration for the Madden 11 Trainer was taken directly from the football. Brown pebbled leather, nubuck and synthetic materials were used for a majority of the upper, while white accents can be found along the inner liner, Swoosh border, laces, and midsole.

Though the look of the shoe is mostly inspired by the pigskin itself, there are also several storytelling elements in its design, including a salute to the reigning Super Bowl Champion New Orleans Saints. The EA Sports badge is placed front and center on the tongue of the shoe, while Madden 11 is lasered into the forefoot strap. Lasered into the heel of each shoe is an actual diagram of a touchdown-scoring play from Super Bowl XLIV. Additionally, the pre-game chant that Drew leads the Saints in before every game is sublimated on the sock liner top cloth.

When Nike announced that the EA Sports NCAA Football 11 version of its Nike Trainer 1.2 sneaker, specifically designed with former Florida Gators now Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow in mind, would go on sale on Friday, Aug. 6 at NikeStore.com, fans clamored to find out what lengths they would have to go to in order to get one of the 500 limited edition pairs.

While the company normally releases its new products at midnight, Nike had a trick up their collective sleeves Friday, putting the Tim Tebow Trainer 1.2 up for sale at exactly 1:50 a.m. Ironically, the sneaker sold out almost exactly 15 minutes later (though Nike claims it only lasted five), with the item officially appearing as sold out at 2:05 a.m.

The limited edition sneaker is “up there with some of the fastest sellouts,” according to the Nike Store’s Twitter account. The accompanying “Tebow Knows” T-shirt, which was also slated to be released Friday morning, is not yet available in the online store.

The Tim Tebow Trainer 1.2 features Tebow’s “Promise” speech from Sept. 27, 2008, along with a blue and orange color scheme, and EA Sports and NCAA Football 11 logos.

We were fortunate enough to get asked to attend the Adidas Fortitude Launch Party down here in South Beach at Mr R’s aka The Sneaker Box HUB. These shoes are very nice.

1. Fortitude is a hybrid model with boot elements (i.e boot eyelets and
X stitching on forefoot)it has a sneaker feel with molded EVA midsole

2. Design inspiration for neon’s was to take the Fortitude more in a
sneaker direction with this execution tonal uppers with neon
midsole/outsole for energy. Giving a stark contrast but complements the
upper

3. Materials: Leather upper with Mesh Toe box for comfort. Nubuck toe
cap and forefoot overlay. Reflective tongue top and heel pieces

We were fortunate enough to be able to meet up with Ronnie while he was down in Miami doing the photo shoot for Culture Shoq Gels. The shoot was amazing. Because of issues with boxing gym we didn’t get to shoot the behind the scenes but here we provide an interview with Ronnie and a First Look of the Culture Shoq Asics Gel Lyte IIIs.

Will Jordan Brand do the IX what they've done to the VI's? A new color way touches down but doesn't disappoint in my opinion. I like these. With a mostly black upper and a glittery shimmering strip above the mid sole wrapping around the toe box all they way to the heel, This shoe is pretty nice. Lets hope we don't here about pull tabs coming off this one. SMH
