So what..yeah I am grown and still love toys of all kinds! Even stuffed plush dolls…and while I have yet to bring fourth children, I’ll indulge heavily and connect with my inner child.

Now these dolls have been out for some time now, but seeing as though I started really paying close attention to them I couldn’t help but …

Last Friday, I had the chance of taking full view of the newly renovated 5th floor of Niketown NYC store. Now I’ve been told that the 5th floor would be going through a serious face-lift, but I never knew that the construction would be so meticulous…..to the point where you simply can’t stop but to look at every crack and corner of the 5th floor Sportswear department. And would you believe me - if I had told you that the renovation took place in a matter of days? Yeah…I think not! Thankfully, my good friend & 1# Nike Specialist Kenny Mack, gave me the grand tour; showing me different sectors of the Sportswear department …
