Phil Knight, take notice.

2008 has been a big year for Jordan Brand. With the release of the 23rd Air Jordan sneaker and the countdown packs (June 21st is gonna be a big day), the folks in Oregon seem to be sitting pretty, even if they continue to create monstrosities like the 6 Rings far too frequently.

The mashups don't tend to go over well with the Jordan purists, but I'll admit that I think the Spizike's are aight and, yes, I even own a pair. One of our loyal readers sent us these original sketches of some sneaker designs he created. Here, Mr. Anonymous himself decided to do a mashup of his own. Inspired by Jordan's 6 championship rings, amassed over two separate 3-peats, the artist formerly known as "This is anonymous, but..." created two separate shoe designs. He even went to the lengths to create Hornets and Nuggets versions of each design. We give credit where credit is due, so without further ado:





Forgive the tacky blog tags, but niggas be jackin ish over the internet nowadays (it takes one to know one), so I had to protect the intellectual property. I'm much more of a fan of Vol 1 than Vol 2, but those first 3 lend themselves much more to being combined than the latter 3. What do you think?

Interested in submitting something to us? A post, poem, article, photos of Jay and Beyonce on a honeymoon? Email youhypesikenah@gmail.com and if we like it, we'll post it under The Conscientious Observer.
