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

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.

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

About

This is Sneakers and Shoes!!! A blog that shows you what is going on in the sneaker (and shoe) blog world as well as what is currently cool on sale on sites like Zappos, Finishline, Eastbay, Macys and more. I also focus on the shoe scene, foot care, lifestyle fashion, sports and exercise. I am into collecting sneakers as well as shoes and have really just started in 2008. I enjoy writing about what is coming out, what is out (something that many blogs ignore for some reason… but then again that is allot to cover) and what looks cool that I think is being totally ignored.

Why visit Sneaker and Shoes?

Because who else is going to give your the in your face, honest, and straight opinions on what is going on in the game? Who else will say what is going on on OTHER sneaker blogs, show cool features from OTHER sneaker blogs, high light things going on on OTHER shoe blogs, focus on men AND women, flats AND high heels, FEATURE COMMENTS from here and OTHER blogs, interview commenters, and more.

Here at Sneakers and Shoes, we love to write about those who want to be sneaker designers, the custom artists of sneaker and shoes, news on the companies that make the sneakers and shoes (as well as the stores that sell them). So if you love Nike, you will not only find out about their designs and sneaker releases, you will find info on what Nike is doing busines wise. If you love shopping at Dr Jays, you will find locations, store hours and if service is really good there… or not.

I will admit that I am a little opinionated when it comes to the design and functionality of footwear (mostly design) and while I’m new to the game, I still make some of my opinions known. You will find a rant or 2 about sneaker companies not making sneakers with widths for example or companies making it difficult for people with big feet to find their size.

Hope you enjoy the visit. Sneakers and Shoes the blog and soon Sneaker and Shoes the website will be updated regularly and I eventually want it to be the place where you come to find out everything sneaker and shoes.
