On Sale: Air Jordan Fusion V’s 3M Currently on BNYC Online
This isn’t the only thing on BNYC Online but I had to pick one to post on cause I need to get some sleep lol. I actually saw someone wearing these (I think… it was at night) and let me tell you, all you see is the persons feet reflect. There is something strange bout seeing someones’ whole foot get so bright. It was a little odd, believe me. When you guys see this out in the wild at night, you tell me what’s good. I think this will be perfect for hanging out at night to hang or going to the city (or going to 42nd street in NYC lol)
The sneaker cost 135 on BNYC, but I am not sure why other than they think it won’t sell too well. I don’t know if they will sell cause for 150 dollars, you sure could get something else. Then again, some kids will like the fact that their WHOLE FOOT looks like a sneaker shaped light bulb.
Never shopped at BNYC Online but they seem to be on the up and up, so don’t be too scared to send them your money, but as usual, be careful out there.
By the way, this isn’t glow in the dark, it literally looks like a light bulb when the light reflects off of them. You may want to wait to see them in the stores unless you just have money like that.
Its Gotta Be The Shoes: NASCAR’s Limited Editon Motorcycle
You don’t think NASCAR and then think old school bike, but here we are. Many thanks for Luxist for letting the interwebz knowing about this.
And yes, its the shoes that make this bike work. If it wasn’t for the bike rims and the white wall tires (I think white walls are going to be very hot next year on cars) this thing would look as plain as hell. As usual, its the shoe that make the man… bike.
Only 60 bikes will be made.
Get That Fitted: TRUE x NEW ERA Grass Collection
I am not, I repeat, not into fitted caps or baseball caps period. I don’t remember the last time I wore a baseball cap. is it because I’m old? I’m not that old LOL
Anyway, here is another hat being shown from the only site I go to when it comes to fitteds, Strictly Fitteds, this hat is a collaboration between New Era and TRUE. It is a great look that almost makes me want to wear a baseball cap. Almost.
The hat is limited and the easiest place to get them is at trueclothing.net.
On Sale: Zoom Sharkley Basketball Shoe
Zoom Sharkley Basketball Shoe for 89.99 at Finishline.com
What happens when you mix up some Barkley with some Rodman (wait, that don’t sound right) and you come up with what looks to be the hottest sneaker this summer. Wasn’t the Air Jordan Fusions suppose to be the hottest sneaker this summer? Well, I think these Sharkleys might take the top spot.
Affordable, nice and, get this cause this is the best part, they actually work!!! At least according to the comment on the sneaker from people who bought them. You can play in it and it feels good and you can chill in them and they look good.
I’m not a big fan of these or how they look but, I can’t front, they alright. If you collect sneakers this HAS to be in your collection. Pick a color and run with it. Also, as many sneaker companies have noticed, you got to have something special for the kids. The kids and baby mrket is the fastest growing area so if your wondering why you keep seeing Air Jordans and Nikes (and other sneaker companies) with kids only colors, that is why.
Anyway, I can’t say I would get them, I just know that I would if my budget and financial plan said I could (I’m grown and sexy people, I don’t have budget, I have a budget AND a financial plan).
Coming out June 1 2008 - ORANGE!!!
Oh man the summer is going to be hot at least sneaker and fashion wise. Not sure about the ladies or mens shoes but we will see.
On Sale: Ducati Paginale Borgo on Finishline.com
Finishline has the Puma Ducati Paginale Borgo for $109.99
I’m not too into these Puma’s right here. I do remember a time back in ’06 when the Europe cut was SOOOO in, but its not so in right now. Never the less, Puma made this to go with those bikes you may ride in the summer. I have to hand it to Puma, they sure do make sneakers to drive or ride in. No Joke. I don’t have a bike (yet) but these could work. I do have a pair of driving sneakers and they do what they do and that is making driving a little bit simpler.
Check out this really long diescription on finishline:
This shoe is the first fruit of the PUMA-Ducati collaboration-the Panigale. This exciting shoe is specifically designed by Puma with creative insights from the Ducati Design Team. The name itself refers to Borgo Panigale, the Bologna district where Ducati has had its headquarters since 1926. Attention to detail has always been an important element for Ducati and with a close link to the Puma Moto performance world, such as PUMA?s Formula 1-inspired footwear, this shoe invents a new style for sneakers: Moto Lifestyle. Taking inspiration from PUMA research on its Moto GP boots, the Panigale has an outrigger on the forefoot which is reminiscent of the forefoot sliders from the Moto 1000, the competition boot, as well as an exo-skeletal support structure in the heel to improve comfort without making the product heavier. Infused with Ducati-design DNA, the Panigale uses key elements from most contemporary bike designs from the brand, and in particular from their high performance bikes, true icons from the Italian company. A truly innovative style, the shoe is built around a 360-degree graphic, which represents…
And it just keep going like that LMAO. I think it would have looked better if they put in some paragraphs in there. If you want to read more (for whatever reason), you can read it and see close up shots of the sneaker on Finishline.com
These shoes still ugly though lol But the bike… the bike is hot.
The video is hot too… You see anybody wearing Puma sneakers on their? lol I CAN’T TELL
Stuff White People Like says – White People LOVES New balance Sneakers lol
So on this site that I occasionally browse every day or so says, tongue in cheek of course, that white people love New Balance sneakers.
Now, of course you can’t go up to a white person and talk to them about their sneakers. Ohhh noooo. The footwear wear world of white people are fo fickle. Uggs, Birkenstocks, Earth Shoes… Uggs, (did I mention that already? lol) come and go, but New Balance running shoes??? Always hot. Here is a quote from the blog (this blog has been one of WordPress.com to p 10 blogs) Stuff White People Like:
There is, however, one exception: New Balance running shoes. All white people own a pair! Seriously, next time you are at a casual party where guests are encouraged to take off their shoes take a look by the door at the veritable rainbow of New Balance sneakers.
But why do white people love them so uniformly? It is pretty simple really. A few years ago it came out that Nike (and other manufacturers) were producing their shoes in Asian sweatshops and then selling them for a very high profit margin. White people were outraged, they generally prefer that children in developing nations first finish high school before working in shoe-producing sweatshops. Otherwise they might look foolish when their co-workers are talking about Catcher in the Rye.
If this site wasn’t so funny and almost obviously poking fun at racism, I don’t think it would be so popular or hilarious. So stuff like #94 Free Healthcare and #84 T-Shirts are think you need to know if you want to be in the world of upper class white people. Here is a list of my favorites:
- #88 Having Gay Friends
- #16 Gifted Children
- #29 80s Night
- #81 Graduate School
- #83 Bad Memories of High School
lol
Good lawd, fun times. Stuff White people Like is a very funny site and I can only hope and pray it is being done in comedy because stuff like this can not be for real LMAO.
On Sale: Converse Bliss Canvas in Green on My Shoe Store
Keds Bliss Canvas Hi Wedge on sale at My Shoe Store
Wow, I didn’t know Keds made heeled womens shoes. I was sort of amazed when I saw the picture and the description of the shoe (of which is a cross between a sneaker and a dress shoe). It looks really nice. I can’t front on it/ I think the ladies should consider getting this. I can’t tell how comfortable it is by looking at it though, but then again, I don’t wear heels lol
You know what I need to do next? I need to find out what exactly is the different between Pro Keds and Keds. Is there a difference? Are they the same sneaker company? I think it would have to be the same sneaker company but they seem totally separated from what I see. anyway, I will have to look into that one.
On Flickr: adidas Chocolate by dailycandies
Dailycandies has designed this sneaker (for school I guess) and after a week of work this is what the conclusion is. It looks rather nice and I actually wish it was real. In fact, I thought it was until I saw what it said on the Flickr site.
Anyway take a close look at the sneaker design. For example he used the adidas symbol as the heart symbol for “I love chocolate” on the box. and the wrapping idea… so excellent! I think Dailycandies should hook up with one of those custom sneaker artists and make some really cool looking sneakers.
The only thing I wonder is if there will be any texture to the materials used. Other than that, this is a great look.
I said it before and I’ll say it again, if you don’t have a Flickr account, you need to get one. How can you join groups like Sneaker Pimps and Sneaker Collector? U Need Dis!!! lol
Are These Fakes? All Sorts Of Colorways For The AJ Fusion V’s
As far as I know, there are only a few official colors for the Fusiion V and these shots above are not one of them. And I really don’t think brand new Jordan Fusions V’s would cost 59.99 (hey, what happened to the well over used 79.99? lol) but nevertheless the question is Are These Fakes?
I actually don’t know if Jordan will come out with this colorway for the ladies and for grade school… but selling these Fusions for 54.99 makes me think this 150 dollar shoe is actually fake. I am not good at picking out fakes. I look for simple things like tags, numbers and quality. But I guess even that can be faked too but most fakers don’t even bother to do that stuff.
So anyway the question is Are These Fakes? (as if you don’t already know).
realMad Hectic The Pile on High Snob
I just love me some High Snobriety!!! realMad Hectic has created this plush looking sneaker that would probably not go with anything in your closet unless you are a celebrity or are very into summer clothes and light cotton wear. Even then, do you have something in a light blue? lol
Nevertheless, I still think this is a cool looking sneaker. High Snob says they are based off of an adidas model but to be honest, I can’t tell at all. Not that I have been in the shoe game for that long, but I’m just saying.
Anyway, if you don’t like the colorway above, there are others so go check that out. I like the yellow one myself.
How Do You Create A Nike Rejuven8?
How Do You Go From The Picture Above To the Picture Below
High Snobriety.com wrote an article about how Nike came about making this sneaker that just freakin looks like comfort (I’ll admit I never tried it on so I have no idea). I think the overall look is very cool and stylish. Its something i would walk around in at work to stay comfortable or maybe to just chill in when I am going somewhere just to relax.
I usually don’t like expensive slippers, but I can like those Mules (more…)
Madfoot Idolator Hi Looks Good in Plaid
I think that just like the Air Jordan Fusion V’s that are coming out with that summer plaid look, these Madfoot Idolator’s look great. I think its only for the summer as it would look very odd in the summer to me.
High Snobriety has more shots of these sneakers and believe me they all (mostly) look good. They also tell you were to get it. Tell me why I thought one of them had a side pocket lol!!!
OMG: Air Jordan Countdown Pack 6 + 17 = Carmines Takin’ Over
SneakerNews Just Posted This On There Blog! Go See It NOW
Release Date: 05/24/08
The AJ Countdown Pack next to be released this month has the holy grail Air Jordan Carmines as part of the pack. Many sneaker head want this sneaker. Some of you may have never seen them before because the last time they came out, you were not born yet lol The original Carmine was released in 1991 so being that its 2007 that makes 16 years. That is a real long time, no?
I remember buying these when it originally came out and taking it back to Kings Plaza (the same day no less) because it just didn’t match anything I had. The sneaker were on sale and from what I remember, in NYC they were not as popular as they are now. I liked them because they just seemed out there and different. I didn’t know at the time that Jordan played in them during the playoffs.
Sneakernews.com has all the shots you will need of oth sneakers included in the pack. Here is another shot:
I’ll admit that I didn’t like the 17 black suede but these pictures make them look way better. They actually look cool and not too flashy. Its not a smooth look, but it is very close to smooth.
I don’t know if I will get them cause my sneaker budget just can’t handle getting expended… again. I know I’ll pay for it later when I DO get them and they cost 1000 Dollars (but what’s money anyway?)
I have to say one thing… The Carmines have the word AIR in the back, so tell me why so far in all the pictures we have seen of the AJ Countdown Pack 4 + 18 (more specifically the AJ 4 of course) why the AJ 4 does NOT at least have the work AIR on the back of the sneaker? Well, the AJ 4′s have other problems then that I guess so maybe not having AIR underneath the Jumpman logo isn’t the worst thing but it sure looks odd.
In Sneaker News: Business Week Writes An Article On Sneaker Culture
Business Week has written an article on what it means to be a sneakerhead. Long lines, people accusing you of wearing fakes, lots of money spent and so forth. At least people who are well into being sneaker head (unlike myself, I’m a beginner lol), at least they know that according to another article written here that they are leaders as well.
Tell them I sent ya.
Just In Case You Didn’t Know: Everybody Mid “RAP” Available
If you haven’t been browsing the Fab Four sneaker sites (ok, I see I have to write a post on this) then you may not know about this. I first seen this on Nicekicks.com (but also shows up on other sneaker blogs). The Alife Everybody Mid (that I love very much) is now released. This is a colobo between Rockwell, Alife, and Patta and includes a t-shirt. You can get it now at AlifeNYC.com
I sometimes wonder if I started a small clothing line like Alife (if you can call them small… they seem to be more mid-sized) if people would like what I would want to put out there. I’m trying to put something together that I think is cool… but that is the problem; I think its cool. What if no one else does? lol
Well, anyway I like this sneaker allot. And I am so trying to fit this in my sneaker budget. Don’t know if i can get this pair, but i am getting the Everybody Mid eventually, I just don’t know when lol
Ooooooo SNAP!!! Rasheed Wallace “1World” Air Force 1′s
This is a great looking sneaker. Not that it looks any different than the other Air Force Ones EXCEPT for that Rasheed silhouette on the side of the sneaker. That right there for me does it for the sneaker. I’m not usually into bold statements like that but this looks simple, cool and BIG.
More info on Nicekicks.com where I originally seen these bad boys.
EDIT:
NOW IN A NEW COLOR!!!
As seen on: Nike Air Force 1 High Supreme Rasheed Wallace – Black / Varsity
On Flickr: Giant Converse by Converse and Company
Its a giant converse! Look OUT!!!
Converse and company has some very interesting shots of an old classic. He (she or they) have a set called Converse Giant with 6 shots. I like the shots and will try to follow the photo set if it gets updated.
If you wanna see all the Flickr shots I like (from sneaker, shoes, cars, rims, architecture and other interesting photography) then check my account on Flickr. If you guys don’t have a Flickr account, you should get one.
Air Jordan 1 Mid Premium looking a little sweet!!!
Air Jordan 1 Mid Premium – GS – Grey Violet – Sunburst – White on SneakerNews.com
This is for the ladies!!! I would wear them ONLY at a sneaker meet and greet just to show off lol. First seen on SneakerNews.com, the site says this sneaker is for the ladies.
Nothing else to say about this for me. I like it and that’s that. Check out Sneakernews.com for more info and pictures.
Creative Recreation Cesario Lo is KILLING THEM
As seen on Zapoos.com for 85 Beans
There are many new sneaker lines that I never heard of before 2001 that are out there and really doing their thing. I remember back in the days you couldn’t even come to school without either Tims, Nike, Reebok’s, adidas and maybe MAYBE Pro Keds, New Balance and Vans (and no I didn’t forget British Knights… or LA Gear but I aint going that far back). Most people just got Nikes and Tims and maybe got the others to fill out the wardrobe. Now you got Bapes, Alife, Greedy Genuis, Pastry, and others on peoples feet and not just a side sneaker but the main course.
Creative Recreation, for one reason or another, has taking NYC by storm. I’ll be honest and say I don’t like half of the designs they make or the fact that the price is so high for sneaker that don’t have an ounce of technology or research put into them (at least that is what I think unless CR tells me different). No bubble, no bounce, no special foam, just regular sneaker stuff as seen circa 1980′s so why they cost 90 to 110 and up is beyond me…. BUT I LOVE THE Cesario SNEAKER LINE!!!
If my sneaker budget wasn’t about to blow up my wallet, I would put this sneaker on my “To Do” list. They look comfortable and even – dare I say it – grown AND sexy. You can be very much laid back and “on the scene” with this sneaker.
I wonder if Creative Recreation allow poor people like me to buy stock in their company?
I Wish I Got That Sole Collector Issue 22 From Footlocker…
I feel like a dumbass for not getting it when the Air Jordan 23 came out over 2 months ago. I could have easily gone to Footlocker and just picked it up. I bet they had plenty of them at the time. When i first saw this on Nicekicks, I said to myself I needed this. I wouldn’t have even known it existed if it wasn’t on Nicekicks (not sure if it was on the other Fab Four of sneaker sites… ummm in case you don’t know the Fab Four is sneaker sites is Nicekicks, Sneakernews, The Shoe Game, and Sneakerfiles).
Now my only hope is to buy back issues of the magazine from the Sole Collector site itself. I won’t be able to order it until this weekend.
Just thought I would rant about that… maybe I’m not the only one who didn’t pick this up.
These Little Moments lists the shoes that Make My Feet Hurt
Try to wear these Betsey Johnsons for more than a minute ladies!
Guys, now you try wearing these shoes LMAO. While I don’t plan on doing it, I feel for the brave ladies who wish to put them on just to end up feeling like someone has used a hammer on their feet after the night is through. These Little Moments (a blog I found on WordPress.com) goes into which shoes gave her some hard foot days. This is why, gentlemen, you should drive her to and from the events lol
Get your weight up gentlemen!!!
By the way, ladies, please tell me something; what is it with women saying what shoes they are wearing? They may tell you what outfit, dress, pants and so forth (and even that is a maybe) but the shoes?
Anyway, These Little Moments runs a series of shoe lists of shoe that don’t make the cut for one reason or another. From time to time, I hope to stop by and feature on of them.
I have to say, while those shoes pictured up top look like pain, they still look good. I would be impressed if a lady (a real lady… no Ho ho ho’s allowed) was wearing these.
I wonder if Micheal Jordan will sue cause Betsey Johnson made a shoe using the word Jordan? lol
In Fashion News: New Blog On The Scene Called -… ®
I am not sure what the company is about but from what I gather, they make custom (or customized) clothing. Allot of the stuff they got on there is pretty interesting. I like those jeans pictured above.
It always nice to see something new just starting up. What a customize fashion world we live in, h’uh? You can get a custom fitted, custom sneakers and now custom jeans and t-shirts. Your whole outfit can be some custom bird flying through the sky hitting a brick of a building looking design.
Don’t ask me what the masks are about… I guess its their thing. I will be defiantly be watching this blog to find out what they are doing. So far I like what I see and how they are letting the world know what they do.
Air Jordan Countdown Pack 18 + 4 = So Much Drama: Most Hated AJIV’s In The World?
As first seen on THE SHOE GAME and later seen on other blogs as well, the sneaker world is set ablaze by what looks like an Air Jordan IV that looks, smells and tastes like wack.
SneakGeekZ is back at it again, and he recently posted a new video. In this vid he gives us a detailed look at the upcoming Air Jordan 4 from the 4/19 Countdown Pack. We’ve seen some decent pics, but it’s nothing like seeing them up close and personal
Source: The Shoe Game
And the drama ensues. SneakGeekZ has some great videos that are have some real deal Jordans on them but when he shown these…. I immediately thought these can’t be real. Keep in mind that at the beginning of the video, he says that they (the company he bough them from) didn’t follow his instructions but took his money though. With that in mind the company he bought them from might not be on the up-and-up. If the sneakers are real (and many say they are), they look really cheap as in poorly made. My tough decision (and apparently on a few people agree) is that these can not be the final look (if they are the real thing). ANY sneaker seen before (especially month than a month before) its release date might look very different than what will actually release. I even think that what is seen in the video could even be what is called “a fake” as in anything that is just a variant, test production or sample sneaker (some samples that are test subjects are real and given to athletes, celebrities and company personal)
Here is another video that was made and seen first on The Shoe Game:
Here you see the comparison between the retro 99 AJIV and what will release in the countdown pack in July 2008. I still say that there is no way JB is gonna release those IV’s looking like that but we will see.
You guys got to read the comment… it went crazy. I will be updating this post so stay tuned.
For more check out the Shoe Game
