Air Jordan 3 Doernbecher
Yesterday we finally got to see the entire 2010 Nike Doernbecher Freestyle collection, kids, and designers. As you know, Cole Johanson, age 11, is the kid that designed the Air Jordan 3, along with help from Jason Mayden and Jake Van Damm. The shoes feature a varsity red/metallic silver/black colorway, and the most notable feature is the clear outsole.

Jordan Brand presents the first shoe form their new Air Jordan CMFT Series, a collection that fuses comfort and style with classic elements. Here above you get a very first look at the first sneaker of the collection – the CMFT Viz Air 11. The colors and sole certainly remind of another popular lifestyle sneaker from Nike.

Tyler Perry Controversy
Word is Tyler Perry fired his entire staff a couple days back prior to the last episode of The Boondocks. Last week’s episode basically exposed a side of Tyler Perry no one was aware of. The show portrayed him as a gay man and how he lives an “over the top” lifestyle. I guess we won’t be expecting any more of his movies/plays.
UPDATE: Tyler Perry’s statement in response to the rumors:
Just like the Spike Lee situation, I feel that “no response” is the best response. I’m just gonna leave it at that…
But I will tell you this… there is absolutely no truth to the rumor that I’m suing The Boondocks. Those are all lies. I’m not suing anybody over that.
And I haven’t fired anyone because of that show either. I don’t know where all that came from.
