Movies that are based on a something like video games or something similar usually end up turning out to be flops but what about some of the other genres like basketball stars? While admittedly, the first basketball player that comes to mind who has made movies would have to be Shaq, whom we all know did not do very well for himself during his many attempts at the box office, that doesn’t mean that other people can’t try. The latest movie is going to feature Kobe Bryant and will be titled Black Mamba.

This movie will start Kobe Bryant and Kanye West will play his enemy that he is trying to defeat. So far a lot of different shoes have been released in anticipation for this movie and now that the poster has just been unveiled we definitely have a whole lot more to start getting excited about.

It seems like for just about every interest out there, exists a convention to cover it all. For comic book lovers there is Comicon and of course for sneaker lovers there is Sneaker Con. The latest one, Sneaker Con NYC 2011 just took place on March 19th 2011 and it was definitely a sight to behold. Just about every famous sneaker that has ever been released was there on display for people to gawk at and then some. We wonder how people refrained from having to go to the hospital with sore necks from all the things they must have been twisting their heads to see.

Tons of people showed up wearing the new Air Jordan XI Cool Grays but there was definitely a variety of heat going on all around the area. If you missed this event then there is always next year, just make sure not to miss it again.

Nike Dunk was debuted in 1985 and since then, it established itself as one of the most popular basketball sneakers of all time. It was later adopted as a skateboarding sneaker and became a favorite among several great skateboarders including Paul Rodriguez, Omar Salazar and Stefan Janoski. Nike SB Dunk underwent some significant changes in recent years, so Nike decided to take a trip back in time and recall all its revamps.

With the same motive, it has designed the Nike SB Dunk Pro Book that not only tells us the detailed history of this masterpiece, but comes in a highly interesting design. With colorful pages and stunning volume, this book starts with classic Dunk outsole on the back cover and the new Dunk Pro SB tread gracing the front. We really love this, do you?
