A user asked me on another blog post way back in July about what sneakers is she wearing in this video. Well, I can’t tell which style name it is, but the brand name is Converse.. or maybe Keds… probably Keds since its a Rocawear thing.

Going on the hunch that the Roc is behind this (even though they really look like Converses), I look on Rocawear’s site for current stuff (yes the video is mad old). Nope. Rocawear only showing ProKeds Roc style not the canvas ones.

Went to ProKeds site (totally taken over by Hip Hop with background music by Dame Dash? LOL) . I went to the vintage are (womens first and then men) and no.

Since it can’t be Pro Keds, I am CONVINCED that it must have been Converse. That helps a little cause I can look at the hard to find womens sneakers on Zappos andConverse’s website and I think I see the color…

Wow man, just wow. I got the news from Sneakerfiles.com and as you know, I have to add my comment to this. Lets start off with the retro movement and re-introducing sneakers that came out already.

Super Sale: adidas Men’s T-MAC 5 All Star on Eastbay.

adidas Men’s T-MAC 5 – All Star – Light Grey/University Red

Was 124.99 now is 49.99

Sizes 7-15

I personally do not like this colorway. I think this is a fine sneaker design but the colors are like… blech. But its more than half off so if your looking for a great basketball sneaker then you found it. PLUS… I said PLUS the low top versions are also having a SUPER SALE too.

$49.99

Looks like the back to school sales are in full swing. Anyway, there are 2 versions of the low tops. and I have to say that both styles are very nice. So if you want, you could spend a 100 and get both the high (ugly) and the low top (nice). Don’t let me influence you. Either way you get a really good sneaker ESPECIALLY if you plan on actually wearing them to play in. My advise (that I don’t want you to be influenced by) is get the high tops if you plan to really use them as intended. The low tops are for casual anyway, but they can be used for training. I wouldn’t to too much running in them, no more than1000m at any given time. Weights, on court training workouts stuff like that I would imagine.

So do your thing.

 


Super Sale: adidas Men’s Courtshark on Eastbay

adidas Men’s Courtshark – White/Royal

Eastbay Exclusive Adidas Courtshark

Super sale people!!! 49.99 (almost half off)

Sizes 4 – 18

This is ridiculous.  If you like the court shark design (which seems to be based off of the T-MAC5)  then you going to love that its on sale. Plus, if this isn’t your color, they have like some 20 different combos for you to choose from. Yes, over 20.

I’m taking a guess here in saying that they have so many flavors because they want to sell to teams or groups as well as individuals. (Good guess lol). All of them are on sale. My favorites are the black on black, the white and dark indigo, white and maroon, and the white and columbia.

So if you like them, get them.
