Introducing the GilIIZero--- G.Arenas new shoe(s)

In honor of the Saints, I might have to
break out these black and gold
beauties on February 25 in New Orleans.

Zero's Back with a Brand New Edition

I know this is what a lot of people have been waiting for. For all the
shoeheads out there, allow me to introduce you to the adidas GiIIZero.
I was calling them the Gil 20s, because that's how it's pronounced, but
when you go to buy them in the store (which I know you will) it will
say GilIIZero on the box. I just wanted to clear that up so you don't get confused and think Boyz II Men has a shoe or something.

There are going to be 20 different versions of my shoe next year. Most
of them are limited editions. I have 18 different color ways and then
two 'inline' versions, you know, that meet all the uniform standards of
David Stern and the NBA.

14	Cuba	@ Heat	Mar. 21, 2008
I know a lot of people don't know, but I'm mixed with a little bit of Cuban, so this is for all the Cubanos. I'll also wear it in Chicago, because there are a lot of Cubans in Chicago. I don't know how, but trust me, there are.
15	Channel Zero	@ Blazers	Mar. 25, 2008
This is the 'Don't watch me, watch TV' shoe. Greg Oden is out, so Portland might get that taken away from them. They might get it taken away, I'm not sure. Portland fans, that's a question mark. I'm sorry. It's a nice-looking shoe too. I might have to switch it. That might become Denver with A.I. and Carmelo. We'll see.
16	Gilwood	@ Lakers	Mar. 30, 2008
This is the first time I'm going back to L.A. since that 60-pointer. So those colors are the Lakers colors.

Wow, four releases against the Heat. Damn. Somebody likes the Heat at adidas. Check out UNDRCRWN's home page.
18	Hibachi	???	???
This is the Benihana collab. Time for you all to decide. Should I drop this shoe in Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Memphis, Orlando or Philadelphia? Tell me what city should get it.

The Background Story

This was a concept that adidas came up with last spring after I wore a
special edition shoe on a West Coast trip when I hit the game winner
against Seattle. Everybody was asking me like, 'Where did you get those
from?' I was like, 'Yeah, they're mine. They're a one-of-one. They're a
special edition that I just have. They're not out in stores.' So I gave
that pair to one of the ball kids in L.A. at the Clippers game, and
that was the end of that.
