Soope for Azad Watches

 Soope

Azad watches announced their "Legends of the Game" series late last month.  This promo song by Indiana's Soope the Roadrunner precedes the official launch of the limited edition watches.  These luxurious time pieces will be honoring Hip-Hop legend Rev. Run, NBA Hall of Famer Julius "Dr. J" Erving and international DJ Alex Sensation.  The line will include other notable figures not yet named.

Soope has been on a rampage in the last year and this power move is emphatic testament to his marketability.  An insider at Azad watches says this video is not the finalized version.  Soope and his team are working on an official video, she says.  I'll update you as soon as it's available.

The watches range in price from a reasonable $800 up to the $100k range, depending on choice and number of stones and watch style. The 3 year old company has seen it's watches on the wrists of countless athletes, musicians and other celebrities. Jump over to their website to view the hotlist.  Selected styles below the video....

Cleveland's Got Sole

I made my first trip to Cleveland this weekend.  I woke up at 4 am on Friday morning, picked up 3 friends and drove 8 hours west for Cleveland's Got Sole.  This was the 2nd time around for this event and it was a huge success for the people that took the time and effort to put it together.  The event raised money for the LeBron James Family Foundation, which sponsors family events to promote education and fitness.  The event raised over $5,000 for the charity.

The mood was set by DJ Terry Urban spinning while vendors and collectors sold and displayed sneakers, tees and other sneaker related goods.

The Cleveland Cavaliers donated items to be raffled and auctioned off in support of CGS.  Items included player exclusive sneakers from Jamario Moon and Anthony Parker, an autographed Shaquille O'neal jersey and Akron Skills Academy basketball shoes.  Local boutiques and brands also donated t-shirts, stickers, gift cards and other sneakers.  There was plenty given away to lucky winners.  I even won an autographed pair of Kirk Heinrich Olympic player exclusive shoes!

Thanks to the entire Cleveland's Got Sole team.  Special thanks are in order for Kevin and Andrew.  Catch them on twitter: @ClevlndsGotSole
