Croquet Sneakers and Sticks on Cool Hunting
For those who are grown AND sexy. If you into Croquet, and you want something real special, and you want to play in urban areas (h’uh??? lol) get this Alice Kaiserswerth designed croquet set.
Oh and check out the footwear:
Look closely at the soul of the shoe… yeah, where the Adidas symbol is… yup, that is the ball holder so when you hold the ball with your foot, the ball can be held steady.
Isn’t that cheating???
I wonder if this is a sneaker you can just walk around in and not feel like something is missing at the toe area? the shoe does look comfortable though. I get them that much.

When did we start having media summits for new sneaker releases?
I’m telling you, the sneaker game is going to a new level (admittedly lame but for sneaker heads, this is like gold) . And yes, Lebron has a media summit for his Lebron V.

Just letting you guys know (the 1000 or so that come here everyday) that one of the sneaker picture groups I follow has added many shots of common and rare sneakers. I haven’t focused on Flickr in a while so there is allot to show you guys. A whole lot.
Feel free to also take a look and Sneaker Pimps as well, of which currently resides on this page as a Flickr feed (showing pictures).
Flickr Find: Sabaku Low and Mid
I like them. They are pretty decent. I particularly like what I will assume is the hightop (the wheat colored canvas looking one). Found this while I was searching for something else. All of a sudden, I end up on SHOOTO‘s account.
Shooto is also the guy who took this pic:
Still Looking For The Aquas? FinishLine Got Some More
You never guess what I found while browsing the Finish? They must have gotten in more Aquas cause those bad boys were gone for a second there. Well now they are back. Many sizes available (but not as many as when they first came out).
In NYC, the Air Jordan 8 “Aquas” have started a purple revolution. I never saw so many people with purple t-shirts and regular shirts. It reminds me of when the Old Love New Love pack came out. When those came out, many people… and I mean MANY people… bought yellow anything. T-shirts, pants, short sleeve shirts… just to get their match on.
In the spirit of matching:

A Differenct Kind Of NYC Subway Hat…
:: Strictly Fitteds – SIZE MATTERS :: » Stand Clear Of The Closing Doors …
Here is a quote from Strictly Fitteds:
The STRICTLY FITTEDS reconissance team discovered this fitted baseball cap during a recent store sweep. This NEW ERA 59Fifty cap features an embroidered design that mimics the mosaic tile signs found in many subway stations throughout New York City. Pictured here is the mighty borough of BROOKLYN. The QUEENS version was sited over the weekend in Jamaica, Queens.
I never seen that hats before, but its a great take on the NYC subway system.I am sort of surprised no one else has done it (or maybe it has been done but I didn’t see it). A lot of those subway signs are real works of art. If you in NYC, you should check out Astor Place. Also check out City Hall on the 6 line
That is… if your interested.
Anyway, these look like a cool hat to have. It does seem a little plain Jane to me though. Currently on sale in stores if you can find them. The hat is by New Era.

Featured Comment on the Nike Zoom Kobe III at Sneakerfiles
(I REFUSE to show this any larger than a thumbnail ever again LOL)
This comment is on the new (or proposed look) of Nike Kobe III. It was so good, I just had to feature it. I haven’t done a featured comment in a while so I figured this is a good place to start:
SneakerFreaker said
Those are the UGIEST Pieces of sh*t I ever seen in my life, what the hell is this some kind of a joke, besides the shoes being worn out looking, they are horribly ugly, SMH @ NIKE, what the hell is the sneaker game coming to, Still SMH
LMAO!!!The other comment on this sneaker are also well worth a read for some giggles. Talk bout things that make you go “hmmmmm...”
Oh and by the way, I do get the idea: Light weight performance basketball sneaker. This is probably a big technology innovation that deserves more than it gets. Maybe it will look good better in other colors.
Well, one thing for sure; in the battle between form and function, function surly one this one.

Men’s AND1 Basketball Footwear :: Search Results on Eastbay.com
Price: varies – Sizes depend on what is left per style and model
I always loved these sneakers. I also love And 1 (and their videos). If I am not mistaken, they started out as a t-shirt company. Go figure??? One day I am going to do a close up on the And 1 company. You might think I would have bough a pair of sneakers from them since I like them so much, but so far I haven’t. LOL what is wrong with me? (I need a pair of Starbury’s too… and yeah I know what’s going on at Madison Square Garden right now with that civil suit… Good Lawd!!!)
Anyway, these are still my favorites. Eastbay got mad colors in them and you can put your team whatever on them and number. That is pretty nice of them! (yes I know they do that for many of their products. lol get off my case)
If you are planning to get them and can’t find your color anywhere else, maybe you should take a look at Eastbay. And get your name put on it while your at it.
Reebok Men’s I3 Pressure Mid on Eastbay
Reebok Men’s I3 Pressure Mid – Kelly Green/Sheer Grey/Black
Price: 74.99
Sizes 6.5-15
I posted this because while it seems to be a little off when it comes to why they picked the colors, it still has some cool to it. This seems very original to me, in an ugly sort of way. But original. That has some importance.
I am willing to bet that if your a Philly native (baseball fans stand up… and yes I know this is a basketball sneaker), you want these sneakers. That green foil look and having Philadelphia on the outside of it is just too much to pass up.
They also have tamer versions for those who might not want to stand out as much walking down the hallway of your school:
$74.99
$74.99
Racing Green/Sand Castle/Navy

Well, on that note, I’m out!
Super Sale: Nike Men’s Zoom LeBron IV Black on Blck on Eastbay
Nike Men’s Zoom LeBron IV – Black/Black/Anthracite
Price: 69.99
Sizes 8-11
If you like the Lebron 4 and if you are interested in the all black version… and if your looking for a size between 8 – 11, then you are in luck! Considering the original price on these sneakers, getting them at 70 bucks is what I would consider a super sale.
These are also collectors items. It may not be high on the list, but its on the list. So if you were looking to get a pair regardless of size just to collect, now is your chance. Eastbay also has other color versions, so give them a look too (they also have price cuts to a certain degree)
From highsnobiety.com: Script Crown Leather
highsnobiety.com: Rogue Status x New Era “Script Crown Leather”
This is a really hot looking hat. I am not into baseball caps but this is a hat that could change my mind. I also don’t like leather caps (I had one in the past and it just seemed too funny even though the hat looked nice) but I REALLY like THIS ONE.
Quote from HS:
Rogue Status only presented a couple of weeks ago their first New Era cap that featured glow-in-the-dark embroidery. Today we present you the Rogue Status x New Era “Script Crown” Leather fitted cap. The cap comes with an upper entirely made up of black premium leather. The name Rogue Status is embroidered across all panels as a large 3D embroidery. Also the cap features a satin inner lining with a “RS” pattern running across it.
Glow in the dark embroidery??? No foolin? Where is the link????
The High Snobs also have some more pictures of the hat, so give them a visit.

Ask Yourself: Air Jordan Retro 15 SE or The Original Air Jordan 15???
Sneakerfiles reported it… NiceKicks got it… Syndication posted it…
And apparently D.K. is the hero in all of this…
But what I want to ask y’all is:
WHICH ONE IS BETTER?
OR
???
It has been said on a few sneaker fan sites that the Air Jordan 15 is the most disliked pair of Air Jordan sneaker made. I personally never bought it so I can’t say how it fit or if it was a great basketball sneaker, but after all the Jordan sneaker that have come out, I though this was the most ridiculous look.
I like the idea of the tongue out. Many don’t like that, but I like it. I didn’t know how it would preform after wearing it for a few months, but I like that idea and I am glad they carried it through to the end.
With that said, I feel that if the Jordan Brand came out with the quick strike Air Jordan 15 SE as an original back when the Air Jordan 15 came out that it would have been more successful.
2 ways to find out if your design is bad in the fashion and sneaker world. (And come to think of it, cars and trucks too.)
- If it looks good only in one color combo or one solid color (or at most 3) then there is probably something wrong with it. The original Air Jordan 15 only looked good in Black. You could say it looked good in white and red or white and columbia blue (hmmm…. these did look sort of ok)… but you would be wrong.
- If hardly ANYONE make fakes of it. I’ll bet a WHOLE DOLLAR that there are probably 4 fake color combos of this sneaker. (And no Sponge Bob Square Pants)
I think Mr. Jordan would do quite well if he came out with a so called new version of the 15. If Jordan brand keep to its word and does not do any more retro Jordans for a while (of which I hope a while means a few years or more), coming up with quick strike “what if” designs would be pretty hot. I can see the Air Jordan 18 right now with lights in the soul of the sneaker or some sort of reflective material.
The Air Jordan “retro” 15 SE takes most of its elements from the original 15, but that vent idea comes from Air Jordan 14 (My all time favorite sneaker from Jordan or anybody for that matter) . If they make any changes, I hope the keep the original arch thingy at the same dramatic height. Keep the vent and some how gt the “tongue” back.
Anyhooo… what are your thoughts? And by the way, mad people are talking it up on this at Sneakerfiles and Nicekicks so once you hopefully leave a thought here, you might want to head over there to see what others said.
EDIT
The Air Jordan 15 SE shown in more colorways on Sneakerfiles
New on Sneaker Files :: Nike Dunk Halo 3 Customs
What a find this is. On a new post at Sneakerfiles, they show a new custom Nike Dunk sneaker with the theme of Halo. You got bullet marks, painted steel shielding on the toe, a really odd decision to use blue laces (lol the Halo logo being blue is not good enough, and some wear and tear on the Master Chief Green colored sneaker.
The creator of this custom is Nelson AKA Rebelaire.
