Due to being extremely busy at work yesterday, I was not on the internet at all. Then, at 4pm, one of my afternoon shifters dropped this on me: "So did you see Ray's XIII's might get released..?" I was floored. Was this guy lying, or would I have a chance to own one of the dopest Celtic-themed kicks ever?
Immediately, (don't tell my boss) I pushed all my work aside and started searching for proof. Then, sure enough, I came across the article on Counterkicks. Ray Allen's player edition Air Jordan XIII's, the ones he wore when he broke the all-time record for 3-pointers, were indeed coming-out. Now some of you may be thinking, what's the big deal? Well, to sneakerheads, kicks like these don't come around too often. It's a chance to own a pair of kicks that were originally made for only one player, and in a special color-scheme. And if you're a sneakerhead and a Celtics fan like me, then these could be considered your "grails" or "the Holy Grail." A pair of kicks that you've searched the ends of the earth for or waited years and years on, praying that somehow they'd be released.
There is no official word yet on when & where these will drop, but folks in the know say they will be carried by House of Hoops in very limited numbers. Or, if you've got an extra $500, you can grab them in limited-sizes at MarqueeSole. Do stay-tuned…
