OSD Talk Show: Ep. 148-Changed Perspective

On the Streets of Boston

Yesterday, the SFK (read: Size Fifteen King) and I decided to hit some of the Boston shops and kick it with the 'Heads of State in Beantown.

Well, wouldn't you know it, on our walk to X Squared, on Newbury Street, we spot this cat looking at a menu with his wife while wearing some Skechers Shape Ups.  All of a sudden, SFK and I made eye contact, gave the prerequisite head nod and each reached for a camera or cellphone to take a few pictures.

It was if the world had slowed down and all of a sudden we were in the Matrix.  Funny times for sure!

SN'EADS: The Consequence

The homie Ree put his foot down, um, make that his markers down once again, on his take of "The Decision" since LeBron James' decision to take his skills to the Miami Heat.

Jordan Brand: New Home

Michael Jordan has a new home on the Swooshes campus, and to say that the building is impressive is an understatement.

You know exactly who's "house" this is from the facade. There's no second guessing; very much like MJ's game when there's 12-seconds left on the clock; you knew MJ was getting the ball and he dared you to stop him.

Just standing outside the building makes you go through that mental Rolodex of MJ moments: dropping 69-points against the Celtics and loosing, allthewhile Larry Bird remarking that Jordan was, "God in hightop sneakers", or Jordan dunking on Patrick Ewing and swinging like Tarzan from the rim in the 1993 Playoffs. The moments are countless and memorable, and some are more vivid than others.

Ask anyone who was able to see MJ play, either on television or in person, and they'll say that they were waiting for "that moment" when Jordan would do something amazing, and MJ never failed to do something.

For all the fuss caused by the Nike Air Jordan XI Retro "Space Jams" release, there are probably more who never witnessed him playing who bought the sneakers than those who witnessed what he did on the court and can recall a moment-in-time.

We've heard about MJs "indescretions", and I'm sure they rival Tiger Woods', but while people think of John Gotti as the "Teflon Don" of the Tri-State region, MJ was and has been "Mr. Untouchable" by the news media. No matter the dirt discovered, it was always swept under the rug. Sometimes to save his and Juanita's children from being embarrassed and the world coming to grips with Barkley's statement of, "I am not a role model", encouraging more parents to take an active role in raising their children.

As the Jordan Brand folks get settled into their new home, maybe we have to realize that eventhough a person has a new home, the foundation can have many cracks, and room for the "roaches" to move in.

How to Punish your Employees during the Recession

OSD's good friend and supporter Petey from Premium Laces NY has found a new way to deal with employee lateness at his SOHO NYC sneaker and clothing store. Taking the recession into consideration, he has decided against taking money away from his employees, and resorting new and interesting forms of punishment for their infractions. In this case, this (MALE) employee was forced to wear "womens UGG boots" for the same amount of minutes that he came in late to work, and still serve customers.

I'm sure Petey has more of these creative punishments lined up for repeat offenders. Some bosses do have a heart in the midst of our country's economic slowdown.
