I am currently enraged by the revelation that Nike did not make anything larger than a size 12 in the Air Jordan 1 Low Phat Championship pack, so I don’t think I can gather my thoughts enough to create an educated, coherent post. As such, I will merely post a picture.
My friends are in Taiwan at the moment and snapped this for me. It’s a large Nike Zoom Kobe IV billboard. And it’s pretty tight. If you’re wondering about the pattern on his face it’s actually quite simple: The people of Taiwan worship Kobe as a sort of half-fish god who watches over their fishing boats and sealife. They don’t even know he plays basketball in the US. This billboard is Kobe’s shrine where the citizens bring mermaids as sacrifice. Yeah, mermaids. They surgically create them from teenage girls just so they have something to offer as sacrifice. Crazy? I think that’s a little jingoistic; we’re all sharing the same earth here.
