When we decided to make a shirt commemorating the All-Star game in Dallas, only one player came to mind… Dirk Nowitzki. Let’s check out his credentials.

- 9 time All-Star
- 9 time All-NBA Team
- 2007 MVP
- Only 1 of 5 players in NBA history to average + 25ppg and + 10rpg in the NBA playoffs
- Dallas Mavericks’ all-time leader in points, rebounds, field goals, field goal attempts, 3-pointers, 3-point attempts, free throws, and free-throw attempts.

Yeah, that’s a pretty long list. It’s amazing that he achieved all this despite everything working against him. He was drafted out of high school from Germany. The Mavericks were widely criticized for drafting Nowitzki and passing on Paul Pierce. He was labeled as the next person in a line of white guys with no skill such as Eric Montross, Cherokee Parks and Shawn Bradley. For years his nick name was Irk – because he had no D.

Pretty soon though, the Mavericks developed into a winning team. With Michael Finley and Steve Nash, they would go on to be a playoff contender year in and year out. After the loss of the aforementioned players, Dirk Nowitzki led Dallas to it’s only NBA Finals appearance in 2006.

The limited edition shirt is based on his rookie jersery. It will be available exclusively this Friday at All-Star Sneakend.

We all know the Metroplex known as DFW has been privileged to be the city host of the NBA All-Star Weekend this year. With the NBA All-Star events happening all around Dallas, Fort Worth, and Arlington, what better way and time is there to promote another BIG sneaker event?

The Dead Stock and Heat Seekers crew are good friends of ours at SHOGUN. Many of you may be familiar with the Dead Stock crew. They are the same group of guys that have presented KIXPO for the last several years, an annual sneaker and streetwear convention in Dallas, Texas. Alongside with the Heat Seekers crew, they are prepared to present the All-Star Sneakend!

The All-Star Sneakend is going to be operated much like KIXPO with many folks displaying their collections of exclusive, hard-to-get sneakers, otherwise known as HEAT! There will also be plenty of raffle prizes such as a pair of the “Dallas” edition Nike Air Force 1s designed specifically for the 2010 NBA All-Star Game, and many more items that are sure to keep you possessively chanting the numbers on your tickets.

SHOGUN is a proud sponsor of the event. Look for most of the SHOGUN fam to be there as well as a new SHOGUN t-shirt exclusive to the event! Mavs fans won’t be disappointed!
