SỰ HỒI SINH “NGẮN NGỦI” CỦA AIR JORDAN 1 TẠI VIET NAM.
Và có lẽ chỉ diễn ra ở Việt Nam. Ở quy mô thế giới, năm nay có thể được xem là năm của Nike Dunk và SB Dunk – hay nói thẳng ra là thắng lớn của Nike trong diễn biến dịch Covid. Trong khi người bạn đối trong adidas ít nhất về mảng ra sản phẩm mới vẫn còn đang loay hoay giải quyết cái bóng quá lớn của “Boost” và “Key items” của mình thì Nike vẫn ra đều đều những product line khiến người mua phải chịu bỏ tiền ra trên các kênh online dù không thể ra các retail store. Mặc dù tăng trưởng không được kì vọng vượt qua 2019 nhưng những con số vẫn cho thấy – nó không quá ảm đạm như chúng ta lầm tưởng.
Nhưng – có lẽ, có một sự “Hồi sinh đặc biệt” và vô cùng “ngắn” của Air Jordan 1 các phiên bản tại thị trường Việt Nam. Nói tới Air Jordan 1, sau sự bùng cháy của 2019 với các bản collab với “Off-white” trong các collection cùng Virgil Abloh, Nike nhận thấy đã đủ. Như cái cách mà Nike làm với dòng Nike Yeezy Air cùng Kanye West, gã khổng lồ làm thị trường thấy cần làm nóng mảng khác. Và Nike SB Dunk sẽ là keycore của 2020. Trong năm 2020, Nike vẫn liên tục ra các bản Air Jordan 1 (Low and High) nhưng nổi trội và được quảng bá nhiều nhất thì chắc có collab với Travis Scott và bom tấn “Xịt” với DIOR. Sao mình gọi là “Xịt” á – có nhiều yếu tố liên quan mà mình sẽ viết ở các bài sau. Thị trường AJ1 vẫn nằm ở mức “bảy nổi ba chìm với nước non” ở quy mô quốc tế - vẫn ra, vẫn mua.
Còn ở Việt Nam, sự “Hồi sinh” ngắn ngủi này được buff lên nhờ hai chương trình Rap là “Rap Viet” và “King of Rap”. Hãy xét về sức mua – khoảng quý 1 2020, trong 3 tháng đầu này mình theo dõi thị trường thì các sellers có uy tín đã nhập các dòng AJ1 low về bán với số lượng vừa phải. Thứ nhất là dễ cop, dễ mua – thứ hai là giá trị của những đôi AJ1 này kể cả retail cũng không phải là cao, họ mua vì lí do thích hay bán cho những người yêu thích nó. Nhưng độ vang là không nhiều.
CHO ĐẾN KHI
Hai chương trình về Rap làm nóng các kênh truyền thông và bao nhà phân tích học “Đường phố” nhảy vào dù họ không xuất thân từ đường phố, sống cùng nó và ăn cùng nó. Các vấn đề về Rap, về đường phố được spam trên mọi groups, mọi diễn đàn – mọi nẻo đường ngóc ngách. Từ người lớn đến trẻ con, từ anh thanh niên đến cô giáo, từ các cô các bà hàng xóm đến các chú xe ôm đã biến Rap trong vòng khoảng gần 3 tháng ngắn ngủi trở thành Pop-culture tại Việt Nam. Mọi hình ảnh, đường đi, nước bước của các vị Ban giám khảo và thí sinh dự thi trở thành tâm điểm của dư luận – trong đó có cả thời trang. Các vị Rapper mặc gì, thương hiệu nào, đi giày gì được spam liên tục. Và một trong những nguyên nhân chính khiến AJ1 hồi sinh trong khoảng thời gian này – chính là cơn sóng mang tên “Rap” này. Các rappers luôn ưu ái “Nike” – đặc biệt là các dòng Air Jordan hay Air Force 1. Cũng phải thôi, vì các văn hóa mà họ tiếp xúc trước đó đều bắt nguồn từ Mĩ (Cả quá khứ và bây giờ), Nike đóng 1 vai trò quan trọng. Không thể phủ nhận sức ảnh hưởng của adidas Super star, nhưng thứ nhất là nó OG – không bắt mặt, không mang nhiều điểm nổi trội cho visual (Ở đây là outfit), cho nên các vị stylist hay cả chính các rappers ưu tiên chọn Nike. Hơn thế, Aj1 low như mình nói với mức chi vô cùng hợp lí (~ 4tr) là một sự lựa chọn khôn ngoan cho việc thay đổi hình ảnh mỗi tuần.
Và thế là – AJ1 nghiễm nhiên xuất hiện và phủ sóng toàn bộ các kênh media đại trà. Những hình ảnh giải mã outfit với cái tên “Nike Air Jordan” xuất hiện nhiều đến nỗi – đã tạo nên một “Cơn đói” ngắn hạn và “Hồi sinh ngắn ngủi” của AJ trong khoảng thời gian này. Khách hàng hay rộng hơn là thị trường Việt Nam là 1 thị trường chạy theo xu hướng, dễ bị bắt mắt và theo đuổi những hình ảnh hào nhoáng. Idol có gì, cái gì xuất hiện nhiều trên truyền thông – là họ cũng phải có được. Các sellers – nhận thấy tiềm năng hớt váng thị trường, đã liên tục đưa ra các posts về Air Jordan với các title vô cùng kêu ăn theo chương trình như “RAPPER A đã đi đôi AJ abc xyz, tại sao các bạn còn chưa mua” “Rapper B rock on AJ XXX, mua đê mua đê” mà chúng ta có thể thấy đầy rẫy trên mạng. Không kể đến các sellers buôn bán chọn lọc vì đam mê của họ, các sellers đại trà đã góp phần đẩy cơn sốt AJ xuyên suốt các chương trình.
NHƯNG
Cái sự ngắn ngủi này nó cũng tàn đi nhanh chóng. Cũng như rap và văn hóa xung quanh, ngay khi 02 chương trình đồng loạt kết thúc – mọi việc lại quay trở về với nhịp sống vốn có của nó. Không ai nói về Rap thêm nữa cả, cũng không ai nói về Air Jordan hay những thứ xung quanh. “Easy come – Easy go”, có chăng giờ là các bản collab giữa các rappers và các celebs của đại chúng trong âm hưởng còn lại của từ văn hóa “Rap” hay các TVC của những nhà thương mại. AIR JORDAN – lại trở lại với đúng hơi thở của thế giới.
Người ta không quan tâm đến các bài phân tích, các xu hướng như thế nào. Người ta chỉ quan tâm ai đi, người đó là ai – có nổi tiếng không, xuất hiện nhiều như thế nào. Hết chương trình, còn đâu hình ảnh, còn đâu những break-down outfit – chấm dứt 1 sự hồi sinh “ngắn ngủi” của Air Jordan 1 tại Việt Nam.

For those who were there at McDonough Gymnasium on August 4, 1994, few will forget the arrival of a 6-0 freshman guard who needed no introduction. The rumors of Allen Iverson's arrival to the Kenner Summer League were true, and by game's end, Iverson had scored 40 points. By the Sunday afternoon final, before an overflow crowd inside the gym and a crowd of those outside who could not get in, Iverson finished a combined 99 point effort in three days against some of the best collegiate talent in the city. This, of course, from a player that had not played organized basketball in over a year.
The Allen Iverson years had begun.
A brief profile can't do justice to tell the story of one of the greatest pure athletes ever to attend Georgetown, a man without peer in his talent over two years at the collegiate level. Just a year before his Kenner debut, few would have imagined Allen Iverson ever playing college basketball.
Iverson was not only a 31 point a game guard for Bethel HS, but a football player of tremendous skill. As a quarterback and defensive back his sophomore season, he produced nearly 1,600 yards offense and 13 INT's. By his junior year, he accounted for 2,204 yards, 21 touchdowns by rush or interception, and 14 touchdown passes. In a region which has produced NFL quarterbacks such as Michael Vick and Aaron Brooks, there are those who will still say "Bubbachuck" Iverson was better than both of them. Schools such as Arkansas, Kentucky, Duke, and three dozen other top programs across two sports were vying for perhaps the greatest two-sport star the Tidewater had ever produced.
When he led Bethel to the state title, someone asked what it was like to win the title. "I'm going to get one in basketball now," which he did. In late February, 1993, en route to the state title he had promised, Iverson was one of a large group of Bethel teammates at a Hampton bowling alley when a fight broke out between students from rival schools trading racial insults. Three people were hurt in the aftermath. Despite conflicting testimony from eyewitnesses and no clear evidence linking him to the crime, Iverson was one of four black students arrested.
Racial tensions were heightened when the prosecutors passed on a misdemeanor assault charge and charged Iverson with three counts of felony "maiming by mob", which carried a 20 year prison sentence. Despite video evidence which did not place Iverson in the crowd at the time of the fight, he was convicted in a racially charged case.
The 20 year sentence was later reduced to five, and Iverson was granted clemency by Gov. Douglas Wilder three months later, sending Iverson to a detention program at an alternative high school. (The original charges were thrown out by the Virginia court of appeals in 1995.)
In the spring of 1994, with Iverson still in detention, his mother approached John Thompson with a plea to help her son get to college and start a new chapter of his life. Though Thompson had passed on a number of troubled players in the past, he offered Iverson a scholarship in April of that season, contingent upon his completion of high school and his legal release, which was granted 48 hours before his Kenner debut.
By his debut in a Georgetown uniform in November 1994, Iverson had been the subject of intense national media attention. In the Hoyas' annual exhibition with Fort Hood, Iverson scored 36 points, five assists, and three steals in 23 minutes. Local columnists were in awe.
"Hang his number up in the rafters," wrote Tom Knott of the Washington Times. "He's better than most of the point guards in the NBA right now."
"I saw Lew Alcindor, Austin Carr, Moses Malone, Alonzo Mourning, Albert King, Ralph Sampson and Patrick Ewing play in high school," said the Post's Thomas Boswell. "Now, I have two memories on my first impression top shelf. The man who became Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Allen Iverson."
Iverson opened the 1994-95 season in Memphis, TN in a 97-79 loss to defending NCAA champion Arkansas, scoring 19 points. Six days later, he scored 31 in a nationally televised game with DePaul, followed by 30 four days later against Providence, leading the team in scoring 22 times that season. His only game under double figures for the season (and his career) was a game where he played only ten minutes in a loss at Villanova, a game Georgetown coach John Thompson threatened to forfeit when a group of Villanova students paraded through the Spectrum in black and white-striped prison garb, with a sign comparing Iverson to O.J. Simpson.
"You accept certain ribbing, but there is a line," Thompson said after the game. "I can condone any Christian university sitting and watching that happen...If that happens [again], I going to walk. It that simple." Such fan behavior was not seen thereafter.
Later in the season, with President Bill Clinton in attendance, Iverson scored 26 as the Hoyas routed Villanova, 77-52. He followed it up with 21 to beat Syracuse, 28 versus St. John's, 31 in a Big East tournament opener with Miami (a game that saw Iverson outscore the entire Hurricane team at the end of the first half), and 27 versus Connecticut in the semis. In the NCAA regional, he scored 24 in the loss, but held Jeff McInnis to 1 for 8 shooting. By season's end, Allen Iverson had been named Big East Player of the Week nine times, Rookie of the Year, a second team all-conference selection, and honorable mention All-America recipient. Having led the Hoyas in points and steals en route to the school's first NCAA regional appearance since 1989, Iverson was already a star. By 1996, he would become nothing less than a sensation.
The leaser of a talented team that featured four future NBA stars, Allen Iverson dominated the 1995-96 season as no Hoya has done before or since. Adept at the crossover dribble that became his NBA trademark, lightning quick to the basket, and able to score on opponents at will, Iverson was largely unstoppable. Even more impressive was an effort to improve his shooting touch, for despite averaging 20.4 points as a freshman in 1994-95 (2nd all time for a Georgetown rookie), Iverson only shot 39 percent from the field, 23 percent from three, and 19 percent from three in Big East play. For his sophomore season, his field shooting increased to 48 percent, his three point mark to 36 percent. The results were striking.
In the pre-season NIT versus Temple, Iverson shot 50 percent for 24 points and a career high 10 rebounds. After a 23 point effort against Georgia Tech, he scored a career high 40 against Arizona, one of two 40+ point games that season. In Big East play, Iverson could ring up points with ease, such as the game where he scored 21 points in only 20 minutes against Rutgers.
In the final three months of the season, Iverson led the team in 21 of the team's 25 games: 40 against Seton Hall, 39 against St. John's, 34 against Providence. He scored 30 in a wild win over Memphis, and followed it up two nights later with 26 in an upset of #3 Connecticut. For the game, Iverson totalled 26 points, 8 steals, and 6 assists, including a soaring dunk past Ray Allen and the Huskies. It was the highest ranked team any Georgetown team had defeated since 1988. His best performance of the season might have been a 37 point, 8 rebound, and three steal effort against #6 ranked Villanova, playing only 27 minutes. The 106-68 win represents the sixth largest margin of victory and the largest margin ever by a Georgetown team against a top 10 opponent.
Iverson was capable of an off game; unfortunately, two came at particularly inopportune times for the Hoyas' hopes for a national title. Entering the 1996 Big East Final with a #1 seed on the line, Iverson shot 4 for 15 and the Hoyas lost by one, 76-75. As a result of the loss, Georgetown was seeded #2 behind top ranked UMass, and in the regional final between the two teams Iverson struggled with a 6 for 21 effort in the loss. For the season, though, his statistics were astonishing: his 926 points broke the then-record by 124 points. He set new single season marks in field goals, field goal attempts, three pointers, three point attempts, steals, minutes, and scoring average (25.0), the latter of which ranked 7th in the nation that season. The Big East's defensive player of the year, he was named a consensus All-American amidst numerous other awards.
If he could somehow have stayed four years, Iverson undoubtedly would have shredded the Georgetown record books. But whatever hopes existed for Iverson to resist the lure of the NBA were short lived, particularly with the news that one of his sisters had fallen ill. Seeing the opportunity to take care of his family's medical needs, Iverson announced for the NBA draft soon after the end of his sophomore season, becoming the first Georgetown player in the Thompson era to do so. The compact that had bound so many great Hoya players to a four year commitment--from Ewing to Williams, Mourning to Mutombo--had now been broken.
The first pick in the 1996 NBA draft, Iverson signed a $3.9 million contract with the Philadelphia 76ers and a ten year, $50 million deal with Reebok. His effort on the court is well known and respected, but for all the media portrayals of Iverson as the anti-hero, an icon of a "Hip Hop Nation" that ran counter to the NBA's carefully constructed marketing image, or as a symbol of all that is allegedly wrong in professional basketball, he remains remarkably well-grounded.
Married for six years and the father of two, Iverson is fiercely loyal to his teammates and to his childhood friends. He considered it an honor to play for the U.S. Olympic team in 2004 when other NBA stars passed on the offer, and maintains a number of charity events to benefit his local community. In comparison to his NBA career, his years at Georgetown were largely free of the intense media and personal scrutiny, providing at least two years where he could grow as a person as well as a basketball player.
His arrival and exit at Georgetown is still a source of debate in some circles, but his performance on the court is not. Allen Iverson found a home, even briefly, at the Hilltop, and remains one of its brightest stars. "In my heart, I know I'm a basketball player," Iverson said following his 2006 NBA trade, "being that I know I can play with the best of them."
From that first Kenner League game on 1994, no one has doubted it since.

No matter how much you sleep, exercise,
or drink an entire lake full of water everyday...
You just can’t get rid of those dark eye panda eyes that make you look grumpy people think you hate everyone in the entire universe! Even if it’s true, you don’t need panda eyes to tell them that.
Sometimes, panda eyes are not our fault! You are simply the victim of GENETICS!
Like SKIN PIGMENTATION or just THIN/TRANSPARENT UNDER EYE SKIN.
In this video I will give you different solutions to tackle your case of panda eye. All of them are affordable and can be done at home, and even trying out just one of these tricks will make your dark circles less prominent.
Let’s start!
DARK CIRCLE SOLUTION NUMBER 1
CHARCOAL for loose, discolored skin
Exchange your regular face wash with a CHARCOAL SOAP! I recommend to use a soft brush to lather and give your skin a more thorough cleansing. After washing my face with charcoal soap my skin looks a lot more bright and firm. But WHY CHARCOAL? Due to it’s numerous pores created during the process of carbonization, charcoal actually has high absorptive powers You too have pores, which work like a gateway for chemicals and toxins, and components in charcoal soap do a great job at storing those toxins away, leaving your under eye bags looking fresh.
SOLUTION #2
Whitening product – Thin, discolored skin
Because of the naming you might think that the purpose of whitening products is actually to make your skin white like snow. But behold, it’s not the skin colour that we wan’t to change but the skin’s discoloration! For the most part, redness, that is.
First I use a a daily toner to kill off dead skin cells followed by a serum for moisture and nourishment.
Don’t you think the dark circles have already improved a big deal?
Next is
SOLUTION #3 DIY home remedy
You’ll need hot water
Instant Coffee
Baking Powder
Honey
Baking Sheets
Scissor
And of course a bowl! First add 2 tablespoons instant coffee, 1 sachet baking powder, 3 tablespoons of hot water, after thoroughly mixing add 1 teaspoon of honey.
The ingredients are to brighten skin and increase bloodflow! Not recommended if you have super sensitive skin.
On the baking sheet, draw 1 circle, and draw a partition to make it look like a yin & yang orb.
Cut along the partition and now you have two sheets that neatly fit on your eye bags.
Dunk them into the mixture, wait for 5 minutes, take out and apply on eyebags immediately.
Leave them on for a good 30 minutes. After taking them off your under eyebags should feel warm and have vanished a great deal.
SOLUTION #4 NIVEA FACE MASK
Exactly! The affordable classic you can get at pretty much every drug store over the world. You just need to apply a thick layer of the ointment under your eyes and wait a good 30 to 45 minutes before wiping off what hasn’t been absorbed. I feel like it always makes my skin super smooth and much brighter then before!
Note that if you’re the type of face to have deep set eyes, thin tear through an protruding eyebrow ridges like m, then this is as far as we can go with home remedies.
That’s why with SOLUTION 5 I’ll show you how to fix the remaining darkness with some makeup tricks!
For blue/purple eyes cover with pink concealer. Correct excess pink and red spots with a cool mint green, and excess green again with pink. Basically you’re using two contrasting colours to neutralize and adapt to your own skin tone.
Once that is done apply one thin layer of concealer, followed by a second thick layer of concealer, which instead of blending you let sitting for around 6 minutes. During this time the concealer will thicken so only blend the edges. This method conceals your dark circles even more than if you just went straight on to blending. Finish off with loose powder.
If your face now looks plain apply natural lip balm, which you can also use as cheek colour and a tad bit on the outer corners of your eye to make your face look like it actually has good blood circulation!
As for mascara, it can actually help you if you only apply it on the top lashes .
