MARCH MADNESS AND NIKEID BADNESS

It's time to make a Bracket! Even though my boys couldn't pull off the Cinderella run in the ACC Tourney, I still love this time of year...I gotta work on my picks but like Memphis, Pitt, and UNC out the gate...

In a similar tournament, NIKEiD is sponsoring a contest: iD Royale. 32 designers (some representing brands, some representing themselves) face off - there are 16 from both LA and NY. The "matches" give each designer three minutes to design a shoe at the NIKEiD Studio at the Montalban or 21 Mercer. The results are then posted here and we get to vote to see who advances. (it's worth logging in, you'll need it down the line. promise.)

Joy from Union is a contender and came out hot in Round 1. You gotta go vote for her (as many times as you like) - she's got the black, blue, and yellow dunks in the top left. Classic with some pop. Inspired by the Nawlins Hernets? Or maybe a blackened burger with bleu cheese on a golden bun? Who knows... Let's just make sure she gets to the next round...

Glad I put $20 on the Jackets to win the Tourney (turns out that the 100:1 odds were extremely generous) last time I was in Vegas. That "Most Intellectual" senior class superlative comes in handy all the time.
