Darn Those Sneakers Messin’ Up My Toes!!!
As seen from Luxist.com and originally found at YogaPro.com
OK, let me be the first to admit that I have problems with my toes. They come in just like in the picture. For whatever reason, I just didn’t do anything about it, until I took a job that I had to be on my feet all day.
Now I am paying attention.
Here is a quote from Luxist.com about the seriousness of this issue:
We at Luxist love Manolo and Jimmy and Stuart – their shoes are to die for. And sometimes the pain from a beauty like this makes toes feel like dying too. Here’s a solution: YogaToes. Basically YogaToes promises to give toes and feet a good stretch after they’ve been squashed in shoes all day and at the same time prevent icky and unattractive toe and bunion problems, something that’s important at this time of year if feet are to be sandal-ready!
Luxist seems to focus on the ladies… but guys, lets face it, we need them too. Having your toes point to your pinky toe is a problem. I am wondering if I can run on these feet of mine. I guess I will find out in a few weeks when I start running.
Anyway, I am sure there are plenty of people (male and female) who will need this. I think I may get it once I confirm that it will actually be good for my feet.

From Sneakernews.com: Air Jordan x Quai 45 Wine & Grind Pack – Paris Exclusive
I like it, but I think i like them because they are exclusive and they are limited. Otherwise I would probably think they wouldn’t be worth the hype. Just my lowly opinion. I do really like the Air Jordan Fusion V “Wine” version very much. Lots of shots on sneakernews.com.
I… I just don’t know what to make of this: Puma x Atmos Puma Mid Macaroni Penguin
I don’t have anything to say… I just don’t know what to say. Why doesn’t anybody make something like this for the pigeons of NYC? As seen on Sneakerfiles.com along with many more pictures of what I call The Penquin. I like the clear soles, but when don’t I like clear soles? lol

Ment to post this many moons ago when I first saw it. I forget where I see shots of women and kicks together… or is it kicks and *ss (not safe for the kiddies… or work LOL)? Anyway, this is a nice shot and I am always for promoting artists so here is a post.
Check out more stuff from by reformadigital. There are more girl on sneaker shots there too as well as some other cool shots.

On Sale: Nike Women’s Outbreak High Premium Still Available At Finishline
If you are still interested in the clear pink sole and see-through uppers, then you still got a chance to buy them on Finishline.com. They are $79.99 and they still got many sizes left but nothing over size 10. I have seen women wearing the Outbreaks, but I have only seen one person wearing them in my many travels.
No reviews of the sneaker yet on Finishline though… anybody got an opinion on these sneakers? Finishline got bigger shots of these sneaks for the ladies.
Nike Trying To Steal My Money: Re-Releasing The Nike Foamposite One Varsity Purple aka Eggplants
I want these so bad. I really wanted these (picture below) but they changed the way it looked at the last minute and I refused to buy them without the clear sole.
Keep the clear sole this time please Nike AND keep the color too!!! Lets not have the mess we had last time. Then, and only then, will you be able to steal the money I try so hard not to put in your hands lol
Sneakerfile.com says that the sneaker will have the Penny logo on it as well and will sell for 200 dollars. It will be released sometime next year.
By the way, the original eggplant foamposite will release at the end of this year. I never liked the Flightposite, but I may get a pair just to have both eggplants together.
Why is Nike trying to steal my money? I am going to have to work overtime for these…
It Must Be 2015 Cause Everybody Wants The Marty McFly’s
From Sneakerfiles.com and Marquesole.com
Boy, when I say I’m green in the sneaker game, I mean it. I never heard or even remember seeing the special sneakers that Nike made for Marty McFly in the movie Back To The Future II. Hell, I am thinking of actually renting the movie just to see where/when he is wearing the McFly’s and why they are so popular.
They look ok. I hope they make it a general release. For more pictures, check out Sneakerfiles.com
EDIT
Ok, I decided to do a search on these sneakers… OMG!!!! If they make these, either they will cost 400 dollars each (general release), or they will be given out so limited that people will try to kill to get them.
You can see WAY MORE PICTURES than you would ever want to on Sneaker Obsession.com
Plus, there are whole sites dedicated to bringing these sneaker to life. Even more pictures of the sneaker here as well.
On Sale: Pastry Women’s Glam Pie Hi
In case you didn’t know, Pastry is the hottest lady sneaker line to hit the streets since… I don’t know what (I’m telling you, I’m new to the shoe game lol). In a time where EVERYBODY has a fashion line or some sort of sneaker deal, they made their way to make themselves look, feel, and be different.
This particular sneaker comes in different… flavors… and is currently on Finishline.com
NYC Parks Pack: The Huarache 08 gets The NY Treatment
Nike Huarache 08 – NYC Parks Pack – West 4th & Dyckman
I don’t know… I like the idea of them making something that represents all those outdoor courts (like West 4th Street) and such, but I guess I expected them to look a bit more hard. I like the part that looks like the fence that sometimes surrounds the parks in NYC.
Anyway, more shots available at Sneakernews.com. You can see for yourself whether they do it for you.
The Nike HyperDunk NOW in ALL BLACK
Sneakernews.com has just shown the all black sleek looking Hyperdunks that Kobe uses to jump over pools and speeding cars (LOL just not to win NBA championships though…. I had to go there lol)
They say that it will be released sometime in July and you may want to take a look at Footlocker (which also means that Eastbay will have them too).
For more shots, take a click and head over to Sneakernews.com
Oh and I guess you want a link to that Shaq freestyle about Kobe… yeah, its all related.
Super Sale: Puma Women’s First Round BT at Finishline
I think this would be attractive for the 23 and younger set (or maybe I’m age stereotyping), so if you have a kid, maybe they will thank you for getting them these. I’ll admit that they look pretty fresh.
Sizes ate limited for both styles so if your going to get them for the young lady in your life, you better decide now.
Another Air Jordan 1: AJ1 Premuim Olympic Metals GS
As seen on The Shoe Game.com, this is yet another colorway of many for the Air Jordan 1 sneaker. This year alone must have seen more than 15 different colorways. The only thing I can think of is that Jordan is paying homage to what started it all. I know one thing, I spend 400 dollars on Air Jordan One’s this year!!! I am defiantly trying to stop buying them. I’m way over my sneaker budget and I am still seeing Jordans, Nikes, Creative Recreations, Pumas and other sneakers I want/need to get.
What is a budding sneaker head to do? lol
Anyway, these are made for the kiddies (and anyone that can put their feet in kid size sneakers), so if you got feet that are bigger than a 6, them you maybe out of luck.
Everybody Wants To be A Star: The Puma Bode and Nike Trickstar
It looks like Nike and Puma are seeing stars. Infor on the Bode:
This casual Puma features the cartoon creation of late artist Vaughn Bodé. Comes laced with three colors of shoelaces with the star pattern of the Cheech Wizard’s hat. The interior of the shoe features the star print and Cheech Wizard sits on the tongue replacing the Puma cat logo.
Source: Finishline
As for the Nike Trackstar style, is all about bicycle riding becoming a new Olympic sport:
IF YOU DON’T ALREADY KNOW, BMX RACING IS GOING TO BE IN THE OLYMPICS THIS YEAR. NIKE SB DECIDED TO DO A LITTLE SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR ALL THE OLD SCHOOL BMX FANS OUT THERE. HERE ARE SOME PHOTOS OF THE TRICKSTAR PACK. DQM LENT A HELPING HAND IN THE DESIGN PROCESS, THEREFORE WE ARE GOING TO BE RECEIVING THEM A LITTLE EARLY. IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE STORY BEHIND THESE YOU SHOULD SCROLL DOWN AND READ THE POST ABOUT THE “MOST EXPENSIVE BIKE EVER MADE.
Source: The Shoe Game.com
Now that is hot. The Shoe Game as even more shots of what will be an obvious collectible for the ages. I may be just getting into the sneaker game, but I know that these will be something to have in the sneaker collection.
By the way, I bought these:
For those who want lots of pictures of them, be sure to come back here. While the color I bought may not be the most popular, but I like them and its fits my style lol
The Cage Sandal by Roberto Cavilli… nice.
Theses are some pretty nice shoes for the ladies. Defiantly grown and sexy. I like the color and how the shoe wraps around the foot. hey, I may be a guy, but I can till appreciate womans shoes. How much do they cost? Come on, does that really matter for a shoe that is so good looking? Well, if you wanna know its $835 Dollars.
Don’t know where you would find these gems yet… probably Norstrom.
Simple Womens Satire Sneaker is Environmentally Friendly
In the quest to be earth friendly, their seems to be allot of sneaker comapnies trying to push the limit with what they can do with a sneaker (or shoe). I never heard of the comapny called simple, but apparently it tries to keep things considered.
Here is a quote from Amazon.com (the site I found this one) about the company:
Simple is leading the footwear industry in our commitment to making 100% sustainable product. With all of the over-built, over hyped product out there it’s pretty hard to find sustainable shoes that you can live with. So we started Simple, your stereotypical, anti-stereotype brand offering good shoes and a big dose of reality. How we make our shoes is just as important as why we make them.

Interesting, isn’t it??? The sneaker is made of organic cotton upper and lining and the out sole used to be a car tire… see I told you, sneakers and cars just go together lol.
They also have all sorts of colors. I know this is for the ladies, but they look pretty gender nutral so guys feel free to buy a pair.
For more Simple stuff, check out Amazon.com. They got 3 pages worth.
On Sale: greedy Genius Men’s Cool Breeze on Finishline.com
greedy is a Genius hen it comes to these sneaker designs… LMAO ok, that was really corny, but I couldn’t help myself. Man, I’m telling you, I still remember back in the days when new sneaker brands couldn’t come anywhere near Nike, Reebok or adidas (especially Nike) and now look around. All kinds of different sneaker companies (some owned by Nike, Reebok, adidas and others) are out there demanding that you change your style up. I’m guessing (don’t really know) that this all came about due to the scateboard community shying away from the major brands and wanting the “real” small companies. These companies responded to what they wanted and they bough what they sold.
I’ll admit that I don’t know if these are skate sneakers or not (looks like they would make nice skate shoes… hey, I’m new to the shoe game give me a break!!! lol) , but they do look good. It comes in another colorway if you like (I don’t like the other color but hey, everybody likes what they like).
Air Jordan Countdown Pack 7 + 16 = EASTBAY SHUTDOWN!!!
OMG!!! Either mad people were buying the same sneaker or there was some other system error (which I doubt). Everybody and their Momma (literally) is trying to buy these things. Eastbay is the first spot I think of to ensure I get what I want (even though I like Finishline better) and I guess many people feel the same way cause that is where they went.
I tried to submit my order twice and I got the scariest error or my online shopping life (don’t mess with my bank account man… I don’t want to see no 3 THOUSAND dollar charge ANYWHERE). I finally got to the point where they said that they are not sure if they actually have it in their inventory due to the volume of people currently ordering the product. I was not going to try that again. I went to Finishline (of which usually is sold out by now) and bought it there (along with the Puma Bode… grey and white… yeah I know that is the plainest of the 4 sneakers, but that is what I wanted).
I tell you guys, I love Finishline and I love Eastbay, but they do have their problems. Finishline will be sold out before the actual date they are supposed to start selling it, and Eastbay will tell you that they have it, and then you go to order it and they don’t actually have it LOL!!! But I still love them.
Air Jordan Countdown Pack 7 + 16 Releasing Saturday!!!
+
Ok, ladies and gentlemen, this is how its going to go down. The last time something was released from the Jordan team (I’m talking about the Fusion V white and red totally disappearing from online sellers – you might be able to find one in a store near you if your lucky) it was gone so fast that you couldn’t even find the pictures of the sneakers on Eastbay or Finishline.
Its suppossed to be released on Saturday AT midnight depending on where you live. Since I live in NYC I should get a chance at it at 12am in the morning while others in the US will get a chance at 11pm, 10pm or 9pm respectively due to time zones. BUT NOOOO… I get home late and I bet these sneakers will be gone. 310 dollars is steep so maybe it will still be in the shops but don’t count on it. Try to order as early as you can. Those speculators are out there buying up sneakers just to sell them so they may buy a hundred of them just to sell them.
Anyway, try to order as soon as they become available. As for those main sneaker sites (I mean you Eastbay and Finishline) try to start selling at Midnight instead of 7pm Friday night like last time.
First pack released is available again at Eastbay… nice.
In Sports News: Celtics Win, Lakers Lose 131 to 92… but you knew that already
AND THE WINNER IS
It looks like Kobe and the Hyperflight will have to wait until next year. Nevertheless Nike gets the big win (but so does adidas and Reebok) because they cover both teams and their leaders. The sneaker winners are Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen aka Brand Jordan (Nike), adidas and Reebok
Here is some more info on the Ray Allen sneaker angle… and Paul Pierce… and so forth.
Here is a video from YouTube from the NBA.
Cool!!!
Remember to look at the sneakers!!! I hope sneakernews.com does a picture post of the finals. if they don’t, I’ll be sure to ask them when they will.
Alife Everybody Mid Lux TWEED… very nice.
All I am going to say is that this is very nice. Very nice. More info on Sneakerfiles.com
Pretty Cool: Nike SB x Concepts Lobster Dunks Release… for the rest of us lol
Well, you won’t be able to get what you see in the picture up there, but if you still would like to try to get the Lobster’s, get more info on The Shoe Game.com about it.
I don’t know if you still get that rubber crab thing at the toe. Oh and if you like this, wait for the Space Tiger Dunks… whatever that is. As seen on The Shoe Game and Nicekicks.com (2 of the Fab Four of sneaker sites)
Nike Zoom Lebron 5 Low & Soldier 2 Camo from Nickekicks
As seen on Nicekicks.com. I like this. I am not a fan of the LeBron V low or the Soldier 2 but this does lok good. If you like what the LeBron Soldier 2 then you should see the LeBron V low. Its ok, but not as cool as the Soldier.
