 Michelin MXV4 Driving Shoes

 Oh good lawd! Puma is looking at this and thinking “What’s next? DUB and TIS coming up with a line of sneakers and casual shoes?”

Well, Puma, it looks like more and more sneaker companies, car companies and now rim and tire companies see a market in making driving shoes. Heck, if I can start a blog that hi-lites what I think is cool in sneakers and car rims, then someone else can think to themselves that there is a market for drivers boots, sneakers and shoes.

Autoblog posted the press release for the new sneaker line. At prices of 75 to 150 they are obtainable. Plus, they do look good. They are on the grown AND sexy level albeit at the beginners level. I LOVE the tread idea and the overall design is cool as well. The post got 43 Comments for this subject. You just got to red some of those comments… funny.


On Sale: Puma – LEVITATION N

Puma Store Product – LEVITATION N

Puma - LEVITATION N

 Price: 77.oo (was 110.00)

This is pretty cool looking sneaker. Part of the motorsport section of the Puma Collection on sale online. I seen these a long time ago (is a month and a half a long time) and i should have gotten them then. These are very smooth and refined in my opinion. For me and my feet thought, when it comes to Puma I usually have to buy a size bigger.

Too bad cause the only sizes left are between 10 and 11. There is another color available but I think the brown ones are the best.

Price: 49.98 USD

Sizes 6.5 – 10 Left

 Womens boots are on a roll this winter season (men too by the way). Nike (and Timberland… man I can’t wait to do my feature story on what Timberland is doing… I guess they are trying to get back some of the limited dollars that consumers spend on footwear… but back to the main topic) seems to be going all out in making fashion boots that may (or may not) have some actual function.

These sneaker-boot roll-downs look real comfortable. I have no idea how you would rock them ladies… maybe cause I aint a girl… but they look rockable.  There is another color available is you find this one not up to your color standards.


Super Sale: Nike Women’s Winter Hi 2 Boot on Finishline

Sizes 6 – 12 Available Currently

Well the women who come to the site have told me that this is one of those hot boots from NIKE. I am beginning to see what they like in them. I can see this working well with many outfits I have been looking at to feature for my Fashion Fix 08 Christmas Edition (lol Christmas Edition??? Who comes up with this stuff???)

I am not sure about the other colors in this style. Black/Cerise/Myth is just too plain. The black is not dark enough and the red is not red enough. I just do not know where they Cerise is in this boot but I’ll bet its not Cerise enough.

The White/Ice blue/Silver is sort of in between when it comes to looks. For those who actually have winter with snow, these boots got the best look. They don’t have as much style as the ones pictured above, but they have that cool look and the colors work well with the fabrics that they use.

All boots are on sale at 60 USD and all of them have shearling lining with suede and leather (from the product description off of Finishline). I guess that should keep you warm.
