It takes some guts for a dude to walk out of his home wearing yellow sneakers. Trust me, I’ve done it. Its one of those situations where the image in your head is a lot cooler than the actual execution. Perhaps it would have translated better if I had accessorized with either yellow nunchucks, an Nth metal mace, or a Hattori Hanzo sword. Or perhaps I should have just realized that it is a very special club that gets to don … the yellow track suit.
Apparently you have to have achieved a certain level of bad-assery to rock a yellow track suit and kicks. First Bruce Lee wears one and ends up kicking a 7’2″ Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the face. Then Beatrix Kiddo pays homage to Bruce and takes out about 50 88′s. Finally, Shayera Hol riffs on the theme and successfully navigates a love triangle.
I want nothing more than a well sculpted, nicely articulated 6″ Game of Death Bruce Lee. Just can’t pony up the moolah necessary for the amazing Enterbay one. And, whereas, I do like the NECA Kill Bill Beatrix Kiddo, I’d love a less statuesque version of the character I’ll name my first daughter after.
Yes, I own these Asics Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66′s. Wore them once and realized I wasn’t worthy. I’ve been practicing my round house, though.
Bruce is the business!
No argument! I have two Game of Death Bruce Lee tee shirts (that I wear to yoga class, lol.) If you’ve never seen it, check out this very early interview:

Ha! So will your first daughter be named Beatrix or Kiddo?
I’d like to see nicely articulated basic 6″ figs of all three of those.
If you have the tracksuit and the shoes, you need to wear them. Probably like every Saturday, all day long, or something like that.
Beatrix. But I’d call her “kiddo” often.
IMHO, you are totally worthy. I betcha Bruce Lee would agree.. one look at you crunched into any number of shapes that you manage to form your body into and he’d insist on lacing them for ya!
Rock those bamf’s (thats badassmuthaf**kers)
is the shaira hol JLU fig a custom or retail?
That Shayera Hol figure was available, although, not exactly “retail.” She was part of a three pack that was exclusive to the 2007 San Diego Comic Con. Geez, that long ago? Time flies.

Thank you, Miss Pretticute. He really is an inspiration. I remember staring at this poster and and thinking that he had the perfect physique. Forget the muscle heads like Schwarzenegger. Lee’s compact, lean body type seemed more awesome. He’s about as close as you get to a real life super hero! BTW – I do teach Bruce Lee exercises in my Core Class, haha. Students hate me.

You chose three awesome reasons to both wear and love yellow. That Enterbay Bruce Lee is indeed sweet.
There was also a Bruce Wayne action figure from “The Batman” line that featured a yellow and black jumpsuit.
I printed rash guards like that for all the guys I surf with one Christmas… None of us had the balls to wear them in the water. I would, however, rock the s**t out of those sneakers. What size are they and how much do you want for them?
I have this figure and it’s pretty cool
