Thanks O&B for the hookup. I’ll be there for that, any of you fixers (ex-fixers?) going to go?

I’m going to look around and see if I can find some photos from last year’s practice in Jersey, that was a great event because we were so close to the action and we got to meet a few of the knicks players.

Welcome to all the recent visitors, MODI, Steady, BARF, Bronxboy in Md, PEACEMAN, Jazz, and Orange and Blue. Good to have you on board and I’ll do my best to keep you interested in my Knicks blog. Like MODI, I started this because of the apparent bias in Knicks reporting, and wanted to write it as I see it–also to document the haters so they can eat their words down the road–but everyone feel free to write whatever you feel about the knicks.

I may not be Alan Hahn, but together we are the Fixers!

If any of you guys know of another fellow fixer who has got a blog, let me know so I can post the link on this site. It is best that we each have a blog, that way if any blog gets too Isola for us, we have a network of Knick fans ready to come through like David Lee off the bench! Go to blogger, get a blog homies! Or just read this one, of course!

In the time being, here is a link to my knicks bike. Nothing much, but I did get it because of the Knicks Orange. I won’t go so far as to paint my honda civic that same color scheme, but I always wanted a bike to ride in the city that reflects my pride in the New York Knicks. I think at the time I posted it to fixed gear gallery, we must have been 9-17 or something like that, and NOBODY was at the garden, just a bunch of empty seats–same time they were booing Marbury for being out of shape due to the extensive sneaker tour.

Like the quote from Jerry Ferrara, “I’m a real knicks fan, I go down with the ship.” That is how I felt at the beginning of last year, that is how I feel right now. But we don’t have to worry about that, because this year is going to be different. We are going to win more, no doubt. We’ll let the haters worry about doubts.

The Big Ben Collection will officially roll out in late October, but here is a sneak peak of the shoe for those that want to endure the long lines in Midtown Manhattan.

presumably big ben’s shoe will debut this weekend when he personally appears at the manhattan mall near 32nd street.

I like the starbury shoes, obviously, and I’m probably going to try the big bens as well. I wear the starbury ones when I play basketball, and I’ve yet to run into any problems. I hope the big bens don’t just come in pistons colors though, orange and blue is my favorite combo for kicks.

brilliant marketing plan by the creators of starbury and big ben’s. low cost shoes, let the “stars” make personal appearances at the stores, let the press cover the event, reduce the price of marketing. simple and effective approach to pushing a product that doesn’t have to sell for $180. i admire this company for respecting the public enough to make shoes available for all people to wear.
