This May, we witnessed the release of the Laker Air Jordan VI Retro. The sneaker had mixed comments, both positive and negative. Most of those negative comments came from the use of 3M throughout the design. Well for those who wondered what the sneaker would look like with 3M, here it is. Take a look at alternative version of the Laker 6s. This version features a black suede upper instead of the suede and 3M upper. Other differences include white on the midsole instead of black and white lace locks. However, this sneaker features Purple and yellow contrast stitching, which also appeared on the released version. So, which one do you like better? To answer that question, check out more images after the jump.

With the anticipated launch of
www.puma-bikes.com, Puma and Biomega introduce their newest generation of urban bikes. (CH has covered previous models produced in the collaboration.) Distilling the practical components of continental city and folding bikes, fixed gears, BMXs and cruisers, the 2010 range is a hybrid of European design and American style.

Included in the range are five base models—Disko, Funk, Nevis Man, Nevis Lady and Pico—over 120 configurations in all considering the color choices, extras and other options. The Disko stands out with its unique anti-theft feature, a locking system built into the frame. The Funk lets riders change from a single gear to a fixed gear. The Nevis accommodates the laid-back position of a cruiser, sporting a convenient front carrier. The Pico is referential to the BMX, outfitted with a Shimano Acera eight-speed gear set and front carrier.

The 2010 Puma Bikes will be offered through the website starting 19 June 2010 in the United States and Europe. Customers can choose home delivery or have their customized bike shipped to a nearby dealer for pick up .

Lately, I always got attracted to tennis shoes. They look so comfy in their very relaxing façade that’s fully featured; the kind that anyone would love to boast about. The Adidas by Stella McCartney takes it duty as they have introduced their functional tennis footwear dubbed as the Lucari.

Lucari is a white and gray tennis sneaker that is built on a Barricade V outsole with a sheer mesh and high-abrasion synthetic overlay, adiPRENE, adiPRENE and 3D Torsion systems. All of such features are sure to provide full foot support packed in such classy, flexible and efficient footwear. This one’s good to team with pedal pushers, cargo shorts and other day time outfit.

Jordan Brand gave Chris Paul his own signature sneaker three years ago. But even if that wasn’t enough, Jordan Brand also gave him some sick Player Exclusives. Well here’s an example of how good Chris Paul has it with Jordan Brand, as gets yet another Player Exclusive. This time around, it’s an Air Jordan XII and it was made for away games. With only one shot of the sneaker, it’s hard to describe the shoe. But we do know that the upper is made of black nubuck, while blue and yellow accents appear throughout the design. It’s really hard to rate Chris Paul Player Exclusives because there all so good, but these have to be one of the best. What do you think of this Player Exclusive?

The Moment. Try 48 of them.

The final box score will forever read: Lakers 89 Celtics 67.

But as with many runaway games, that score does not tell the true story of exactly how far apart the two teams were.

There was no neat wrapping paper on the gift the Lakers gave to their hometown fans on Tuesday night. Game 6 was a box of want-to, ripped open from the first minute of action. The contents of the package erased any and all doubts about the Lakers’ ability to bounce back from the brink.

Forcing a Game 7 was about loose balls – and the floor burns accrued by the boys in gold who tracked them down. Tips and taps. Hustle and sweat.

Nothing you’ll find in any playbook. Nothing you can draw up on any dry erase board.

Effort. Energy. THEN execution.

Play-calling essentially an afterthought. Fortitude setting screens for frenetic fancy.

Game 6 was about how much the Lakers wanted a Game 7.

Now that they’ve got it, the do-or-die stage is set.

And the entire 2010 NBA season comes down to a 48-minute window – where one team can seal the title while the other watches The Moment pass them by.
