Hot off the Adidas Shop, The Superstar II TL mahogani/mekhak/sesami colors really kicks ass. I bought a pair of blackies with transparent stripes on it 6 months ago, the durability is amazing, Trust me, it's worth your money. Where you can find it? Adidas Shop, Dubai Festival City Waterfront.
Here's a bit of history about it. Superstar is a basketball shoe manufactured by athletic goods company Adidas since 1969.When the shoe was introduced, it was the first low-top basketball shoe to feature an all-leather upper and the now famous rubber shell toe. Three quarters of all NBA players were wearing the shell toe shoes by the mid 70's and the Adidas Superstar hasn't lost its popularity since then. No longer a performance basketball shoe, the Superstar has become part of popular fashion culture and have become popular as casual footwear due to its all leather upper and wide variety of styles and colors. Rap group RUN-DMC were the most famous advocates of the Superstars, wearing them in their trademark style of removing the laces and pushing the shoe tongue out. They even wrote a song called "My Adidas" which further popularized the brand. The Superstars, like the Converse Chuck Taylor All-Stars, easily made the transition from the basketball court to street as it was sported by both hip-hop aficionados and rockers. The Superstars are now being sold in Adidas stores, with brand new colorways. Designed by Prettymonkey of the Brownmonkeys, animated by MTV staff, the video is all about show of card games event in Saudi. Title: MTV Playing Cards Championship Import.flv (312 KB)

This is a sort of a video documentary of my journey through my learning techniques. With the handy cam at hand, we can now see the progression of learning, find faults and sharing it with the world. I am not a professional bass player, so excuse me for some mistakes. Plus it's fun making a video, so why not?

Our short just got shortlisted at the current Gulf Film Festival. We'll be there to see it on big screen. Aren't you excited?  Seems this short film has more mileage. So guys if you have time, drop by at Mall of the Emirates Cinestar at 1 pm, to see our sweat and blood film in big screen. Who knows this may reach to Canne. :) With much anicipation on year's award. I lay down my revenge with my plastic baloon sword, this is where we mark our territory. Check out the link: http://tonicdubai.blogspot.com/  Wikipedia describes the term Mascot as any person, animal or object thought to bring luck. And after the month we’ve just had, we have to thank Lucy (the unofficial Tonic Mascot) for sharing some good luck and good old fashion Labrador love around the agency. Lucy has been at the office for more than a week now and we are seriously considering making her an official employee. The other day she even growled at a client when he asked us to make his logo bigger.
