TITAN 2K13 FINALS X AJ11 PLAYOFFS RELEASE EVENT RECAP

And so it was: The basketball footwear authority TITAN has finally released the Air Jordan 11 Playoffs - the year's most anticipated shoe. Coinciding with this epic drop is the Finals of their 2nd (do I dare say ANNUAL...) 2K13 Tournament.

Thursday, December 20 - Legions of Titan loyalists came down upon the RONAC Arts Center to get their much coveted pair of Air Jordan 11 Playoffs (or BRed 11s, as most fondly call them).

The place, even though packed, was far from chaotic... You have got to respect Titan's methods of handling such giant releases! From the second the customer approaches the table up until the time he grabs his bagged pair - that transaction was designed to take less than a minute to close. And guess what folks, Titan delivered like clockwork!

On the flip side - at around 1:00PM, the Titan 2K13 Tournament was underway. With the likes of MC Paolo hosting and DJ Ace Ramos providing the tunes (which were bangers, by the way...) even non-participants were all hyped up and shit!

The house was exploding with energy, and I have a feeling the food had something to do with it. Aside from the mainstay Sabrett Hotdogs, the homie Mackie's food venture EAT MY GF also made its way to the event... Feeding the hungry crowd who happens to have a hankering for good food.

Completing the event are the great people that came thru and showed their support. It's quite a long list; you know who you are anyway... So shout outs to you for giving love!

From a personal standpoint, I never had any idea how much work was being put into releases of this scale... Until that day. That's because Titan has always made it look easy. I am extremely proud of the team and how we did things! So if I may say, we all deserve a pat on the back. We ain't getting comfortable though... We got to soldier on, because we're on to the next one.

FOR LOVE OF THE GAME. THEN, NOW... 'TILL INFINITY.

A DAY IN THE LIFE, Vol. "ONE LUNAR CHRISTMAS"

Let it be known: I HAVE THE GREATEST GIRLFRIEND IN THE UNIVERSE. And here's why.

TITAN 2K13 "THE QUALIFIERS" EVENT RECAP

Last November 10, Saturday, My brother Victor and I were invited by TITAN and SLAM PH to participate in their 2nd 2K13 tournament. It was a no-brainer for us; with a prize line-up so ridiculous (PS3 unit,  2K13 game, a year's sub to Slam Ph, a 1-of-1 WIP Cap, a year's supply of fresh kicks from Titan, and the usual championship wares), we would be stupid not to join.

We got there at around 9:30 AM, and the line has snaked to The Deck already. Hopefuls filled in their names and got their complementary Slam Ph magazine and game shirt (which yours truly designed), and at around 10:00 AM, the tourney was good to go.

256 players battled it out, and at the end of the day, only 128 will march on. Here's the recap from our perspective.

Thanks to the fam Titan and Slam Ph for the invite! We had a blast!

TITAN X JASON MARKK EVENT RECAP

I usually save my Sundays for cleaning my shoes - I'm sure you good folks do the same. I have a couple dozen lined up as we speak, and just thinking about it makes me tired. Thank God for Jason Markk, though!

I'm pretty much addicted to doing things efficiently, and that's the reason why I'm on Jason Markk: the ground-breaking sneaker cleaner has cut my detailing time in half. That's a big factor to consider. It's the only solution I trust my shoes with.

On the flipside, Titan - an entity that is also synonymous to innovation, recognizes this greatness; And so, the two revolutionary players of the game got together to produce something unimaginably dope.

It was just bound to happen.

And so last November 29th, Jason Markk and Titan celebrated a collab so crazy, it brought shoe lovers of all forms to The Lightning's new flagship. Jason Markk himself came thru to bless the event!

Cheers to everyone that came out and showed love. A big shout out to Jason! All around good fella... Hope you enjoyed your time here, bud!

Here's a recap of what went down that night. Go on ahead and enjoy the photos, I have to step out for a while... So excuse me, I have shoes to freshen up. :)
