It took Nike about four years after Michael Jordan entered the NBA for Tinker Hatfield to craft the brilliant shoe that many still consider to be the peak of the Air Jordan Legacy. And with Jordan Brand having dropped a couple years worth of winterized boots, we may have found the pinnacle for rugged Jumpmen (at least to this point). The Air Jordan Six Rings Winterized is pictured above in a colorway that is both appropriate for nasty weather/skies and worthy of excitement thanks to its Baltoro-nodding rainbow brite accents. Built like a tank and hopefully not too hard to get, you can cold run it in the latest Winterized Six Rings. via Taobao. Via Sneaker News

Globetrotters unveil 4-point shot
The Harlem Globetrotters -- and the Washington Generals -- will both have a new offensive wrinkle when they begin their world tour later this year.The 4-point shot will debut on Dec. 5, when the Globetrotters and Generals meet at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Disney World in Florida (7:30 p.m. ET, ESPN2). The shot -- from one of two designated areas about 35 feet from the basket on each half of the court -- is 12 feet longer than an NBA 3-point attempt.
It will next be seen Dec. 26, when the Globetrotters and Generals open a 220-city North American tour, which will see the teams in 46 U.S. states, plus six Canadian provinces. The tour -- the 85th in team history -- wraps up on April 17.

Rhymefest Announces New Reading Program 'CPR'
(AllHipHop News) Rapper Rhymefest has announced a new literacy program aimed at enhancing local Chicago youth's ability to read.Rhymefest, born Che Smith, has launched the Catch People Reading (CPR) program, which will launch during the Christmas Holiday on the Southside of Chicago.
The rapper is hosting a book drive and is asking fans and community members to donate old books laying around the house, so they can be put to use by those in need of further education.
Literacy is the lifeline to our education system. Not only will CPR help bring literacy awareness to our youth but it will also encourage students to read over the holiday season," Rhymefest told AllHipHop.com in a statement. "Donated books from across the city will reach the inner city youth (coupled with exciting incentives designed by yours truly) to keep literacy alive."
Last month, Rhymefest teamed with fellow Chicago rap artist Lupe Fiaso to host the "Vote to Eat" Turkey Drive, which provided over 300 turkeys and cheesecakes to over 300 families on the West and Southside of Chicago during Thanksgiving.
Books can be sent to or dropped of at:
- Kennedy King College: 6301 South Halsted Street Bld W144
– SGA Office- Exclusively Yours Auto Spa: 5820 S. State St. Chicago, IL 60621

Air Jordan II (2) – Fred Jones Knicks Away PE
Some may argue this claim but any sneaker in the Knicks/Mets royal blue and bright orange looks great. The Zoom LeBron IV ‘Birthday’ and LeBron VII ‘Hardwood Classic’, the SB Dunk Low ‘Supa’, Air Max 1 ‘Amsterdam’ Hyperstrike, and countless other general release shoes just seem to shine with the blue/orange colorway. Take for example this Air Jordan II Fred Jones PE; during his short stint with the New York Knicks, the former Dunk Contest champion was given this absolutely sick pair of the Air jordan II in a black upper with Knicks blue/orange accents, attacking in the just the right amounts with perfect color-blocking all-throughout. Up until 2010, the Air Jordan II might have been the tamest Air Jordan to date (in terms of colorways), but this Knicks PE shows that the Air Jordan II is certainly one of the best of all time – all it needs it the right colorway to give it a fresh jolt of energy. Cop this pair from sole_supreme on eBay. Via Sneaker News
