November 11, 2009…. The Saga Continues!!!
REMEMBER THIS DATE YALL!!!
NOVEMBER 4TH 11th ???TH 2009
(a little technology issue in the way…)
(don’t be surprised if you see something different by November 4th anyway)
sneakersandshoes.wordpress.com is now blog.sneakersandshoes.com
new main magazine page on sneakersandshoes.com
Maybe you guys have noticed its been a while since i last posted. Well, I have been trying to get things together behind the scenes to make the blog and website more helpful for those who want to know what is going on in the world of sneaker and shoe culture. I also wanted a way for people to see and research (if they want) any pair of sneakers or shoes from the past or any news stories that had happened over the course of the year.
Setting that up is a lot harder than I thought. Its one thing to set someone else’s sit up, but setting up your own is TOTALLY different.
You can see the VERY raw site from tme to time while I am putting things in place. 2 things I would like to highlight is the Gallery and the On Sale section.
With the Gallery its all about what the whole community is doing picture wise. it can be drawn images, people wearing their sneakers or whatever. its mostly focused on Flickr but can be anything. Wallpapers will also be apart of the Gallery as well as some other surprises.
As for the On sale section, I have added a map that will include location of as many stores and boutique sneaker, shoe and fashion shops that i can find. Mostly it will be centered in NYC but will eventually span out across the USA
I hope you guys hang in there. It will be worth the wait.
Some of the things you will see after November 11th:
- New design for main site and blog
- A better way to interact with people on the blog
- Maps… what does that mean? You’ll find out
- Special blog posts on specific days – Friday Fashion Review for example
- Little tweaks in some categories and tags
- And more.
All the improvements will happen during the month, but the main one… change in url… has already happened (in case you guys haven’t noticed… should have warned yall, my bad). The design theme (still working on that one) may be delayed a little bit but I hope to have that totally straitened out before November 11th.
Posting for this blog has been fun and I look forward to doing more cool stuff in the future. See yall next week! Remember, Nov 11th ???th!!!! Mark it down somewhere.
MASTER Chief Custom Dunks by Daniel Reese
(wow)
This has to be one of the coolest freaking customs I have seen in a while. Once again Daniel Reese has done it again with a pair of kicks that you can purchase as customs. This basically makes your pair special beyond belief. You can get these for 180 euros (don’t have any idea how much that is in dollars… but I am going to guess that it is over $200)
Check out Daniel Reese’s blog for more customs and so forth HERE

Diggin In The Sneaker Crates (shoe edition): Roberto Coin Gold Sneaker
Roberto Coin Gold Sneaker – Luxist
To celebrate the 2008 Beijing Olympics, jeweler Roberto Coin has created a few unique pieces including a $31,000 golden sneaker. The sneaker is made of 24 karat gold varnished nappa leather which is then coated with a PVC lacquered film. It is finished off with an 18K yellow gold clasp and Coin’s signature small ruby.
Quote from Luxist
REEEAaaaally? I am surprised it costs so little… just digging in those sneaker crates… August 24th 2008
legimlugero, a member of NikeTalk, says you should go nuts…
(I don’t have Photoshop… )
(so I guess I will break out Paintshop Pro lol)
It may be an old post, but why should that stop anyone from adding to it? You have to be a NikeTalk member to post what you think would be a great colorway for the sneakers that legimlugero posted so join and get started (don’t forget to look me up too) .

Digging In The sneaker Crates: Custom Kicks – XBox Alpha Dunk
(now this is nice)
Man, cleaning up house for the new website debuting November 4th is helping to find all sorts of posts I didn’t make, but intended to… Well, here is another one. What is cool about this is that it actually glows in the dark (well specific parts of it deos).
This is just a dope pair of kicks. When you get a reaction of 25 comments on a post like that, it means something. As seen on KicksOnFire.com on May 17th 2009. Just diggin in the sneaker crates…
Fresh of the Presses From Eastbay… from way back in August…
(a Nike lookbook inside of the Eastbay catalog)
whoops!!! Meant to post this a while back. but I figure someone out there may want to know this…
Looks like a new colorway for the Air Max 2009+ is coming and it looks like it will be one of the hotter ones too. I love my current Air Max 2009+ and even though I have not run in them as much as I was supposed to, I have to say that they are very comfortable. Probably the most comfortable sneaker my feet have ever been in (it even passes the Reebok DMX 10 of which was the most comfortable sneaker I ever wore… I think those were the only Reeboks that I bought 2 different colorways of) and I look forward to getting another pair .
But which colorway?
There are other sneakers from Nike in the look book including the Lunalite (of which I just HAVE to try) and those free foot sneaker sole designs.
Diggin In The Sneaker Crates: Complex Top Ten….. From 1989????
