Hello friends!

Although the Chinese New Year's is coming, I want to wish everyone a safe and happy (American) New Year's! I am expecting big things in 2007 and I hope you are too!

Peak has recently introduced my signature shoe line in Rocket red, black,and white. I wore them in a game for the first time against Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers. Having your own shoe is a dream come true. I remember the first time I ever put a pair of Air Jordan's on my feet, I never dreamed in a million years that I would, like Michael Jordan, have my own signature shoes.

How cool is that?

Very few players in the NBA have their own signature shoe and I am honored and humbled that Peak picked me to represent them in my own shoe.  My teammates are impressed by the style of the shoe.  Because Peak is not yet famous in America, my teammates were not familiar with Peak when I first started to wear Peak shoes in games. My teammates all agree that they are very stylish.

I can't wait to tour China next summer to see my shoes on the feet of my friends in China, that will be sweet!

When the General Manager of Peak, Mr. Xu, told me that I would be receiving my signature shoe, I told him that I would wear the shoe only if it made me run faster, jump higher, shoot better, and win more basketball games!   Hahahahahaha! He assured me that they would do the best that they can in incorporating those features into my shoe.

If you haven't seen my shoes yet, go to a Peak retail store and check them out. I will be wearing them every time the Houston Rockets take the court!

Talk to you later,

Shane
