Enjoy the silence

Well some few words to say that I have nothing new to say for the moment... I am still questionning myself on the Nike "History of Air" story and I am waiting for my AF1 Year of the dog (Happy new year to all Chinese readers!!)

Regarding Dubai well it looks like nothing really special is happening there! Yesterday I've been to Arabian Ranches for a nice cross country races!! It is a very nice and quiet place it was very pleasant!!!

And then I've been snowboarding at Ski Dubai... It is quiet good actually! I like it but as my camera run down I have no picture to show you...

Well see u soon!!

Nike Air Force One Untold Truth

Here comes my new baby directly from Taiwan!

The Air Force One from the "Untold truth" series that have a link to the negro leagues in the pre WW2 time...

It is a premium series from Nike so it is made with very good leather and the packaging is really nice!

Enjoy the pics...

Wakeboard in Dubai...

Well this week with the Eid holidays plus the weekend I've been 3 times to the Dubai water skiing and wakeboard club in the creek!!!

The atmosphear there and the site is quite nice, just closed to the bird sanctuary... I've been wakeboarding in Dubai for the first time in 3 month and was quite happy to find a good club with nice staff and good boat here!

The bad point is that they might be closing at the end of this month and it looks like there is no alternative, or no real one (Hotel ride is just too expensive and can't be so friendly) to it in Dubai!

So if someone who can do something is reading my blog please find a new site for the Dubai watersport Association (DWSA)!

Or please provide me (us) an alternative to do wakeboard and waterskiing (Not too expensive and with a nice and glossy lake) in Dubai as I (we) won't be able to do my (our) favorite hobby in this nice town if no club are existing anymore!

Please Dubai, do something for the waterskiing and wakeboarding community in Dubai!!!

If you want to contact me leave me a comment with your email address and I will come back to you for sure!!!

A Tribute to Paris...

Hi let's start the year with what is the main purpose of the blog, the SNEAKERS!!!

So to start well, let's have a view of what is for me one of the hottest pair of 2005, the Air Max 180 made by Nike in collaboration with the Opium Shop from Paris (The best Nike spot in the French Capital)

Here is the pics:


And in the inside sole the Paris name everywhere....




The sneakers come with some extra yellow lace and for the release in Opium shop the was some goodies... And windbraker jacket and a special box!!!
I love the desert storm camo at the back!!!

A Sad day...

Shaikh Maktoum Bin Rashid Al Maktoum dies yesterday...

I am not in Dubai for a long time but I know what this great man has done for the Emirate so it is a great loss for the community. Dubai will miss you...

Rest in Peace!

Happy New Year!!!!

I wish you all a Happy New Year!!! All the best !!!!

I hope this year will be full of Peace and Happiness in the world and in Dubai!

To start the year as it has to start, here is the pics of the Dubai X Games that I made, enjoy!
