A SIDEWAYS GLANCE : NO KEDDING: JACKIE REVERES REEBOKS, LIKES NIKES, ADORES ADIDASES.

Heptathlete Jackie Joyner-Kersee is into shoes, and not necessarily her own. She collects athletic footwear of sports stars.

Heading her collection are two pair of sneakers which had been worn by Michael Jordan. Joyner-Kersee said in an interview with ``Inside Edition'' to be aired today that in a photo session for a shoe company, she asked the Chicago Bulls star to autograph his shoes for her.

``I wanted him to send them to me,'' she said. ``But he took them off and signed them.''

Next to Jordan's sneakers in her closet are tennis shoes that were given to Joyner-Kersee by Monica Seles.

Hostel gets hostile, wins case

The new $150 million Amsterdam Arena stadium that is home to Ajax Amsterdam's home soccer matches must change its name, a court in the Netherlands has ruled.

The giant stadium on the southern edge of the Dutch capital, shares its name with an Amsterdam backpackers hostel and cultural center, leading to a courtroom clash over the right to the name.

The Arena field, which officially opened in August, has two months to come up with a new name or start paying damages to the hostel, which started using the Arena name in 1993.

Amsterdam judges ruled that the 51,000-seat stadium was too easily confused with the 600-bed facility for budget travelers and ordered the sports stadium to change its name.

Staff at the hostel breathed a sigh of relief after the ruling.

``When Tina Turner recently played a concert at The Arena, we got lots and lots of phone calls from people wanting tickets,'' owner Paul Hermanides said.
