Nice Sandals: Maison Martin Margiela Covered-Heel Wedge Sandal
Not exactly sure why its called sandals cause they look like freakin complete shoes. I mean, so what there isn’t anything around the toes except a big toe strap? LOL I seen these on The.LIFE files weblog. They didn’t have a link to the shoe sandals so I had to COMPLETELY SCOWER the internet for them… and I found them!
They are on eLuxury for $595.00 and yes they are very expensive sandals. The best part if that they have other colors. Here is the description they have on the site:
Throughout his career, Martin Margiela has maintained a low profile, seeking to focus on his groundbreaking work rather than his fame. This discretion is reflected in Margiela’s elegant, forward-thinking designs. Originally from Leuven, Belgium, Margiela is an original member of the legendary Antwerp Six fashion collective, and formerly designed for Jean Paul Gaultier and Hermés before launching his Paris-based collections.
- Smooth grained leather
- Open toe
- Band over vamp
- Wide leather band wraps around ankle and heel
- Grained leather lining and insole
- Leather sole with rubber heel pad
- 4″ leather-covered wedge heel
- Made in Italy
If I was a women, I would get them. I mean they are made in Italy for crying out loud. NOT ALLOT OF SIZES LEFT so if you are going to get them, you better do it now.
I Need Pockets On My Sneakers: Vans SK8-HI LX Cargo
I LOVE THIS!!! I may get it just because it has a pocket. For years when i was in elementry school, I was sooooooooooooo into Kangaroo sneakers. You may or may not remember them, but I loved them. I made up reasons to use the pockets LOL I would put my key in them, a ring, my allowence… my 5GB SD card… oh wait they didn’t have those then lol
While I am not sure if many body would consider these a collectible, but I like it and now I have to figure out how I will get them. Maybe if I cut out eating out for lunch? I spent 50 bucks last week for stuff that I didn’t have to buy if I brought lunch with me… totally unnecessary.
The sneaker costs about 80 bucks so if I can bring my lunch to work, I can get them… but I love going to Subways.
This Is Very Interesting: John Maeda x Reebok Really Like Each Other
This is wild. I won’t wear it… or buy it… but its still wild. Someone will like these sneakers right here. The gradient is pretty ok. They are supposed to have released already… don’t know exactly where though. More info on Sneakerfiles.com
Everybody Has A Skate Shoe: Puma First Round Skate
I think that the skate board movement is the most interesting “retro” thing to happen in the 21 Century of the Future lol. I mean, aren’t we all supposed to be flying around in space cars and stuff? Please someone tell me why I see people with high top fades and rope chains a couple of days ago (and I think they were wearing striped polo shirts too)?
Anyway there are three models available for people who want Puma as their skate sneaker. As seen on Sneakerfiles.com
From Nicekicks.com: More Air Yeezy Pictures
The Air Yeezy is gaining popularity. Me? I like the fact that part of the sneaker glows in the dark. I’m not as into as everybody else is (you guys should read some of the comments on this sneaker at Nicekicks or Sneakerfiles… its crazy) but I will admit that they are pretty nice AND that I will have to buy a pair to have for my budding sneaker collection.
Make no mistake, these are collectibles. If you are trying to start your own footwear collection, this might be a cool start.
On Sale: adidas Men’s Mega Spectrum Running Shoe on Finishline
a wild look for running in… for $109.99 (not bad)
Wow, I like this… but not for just chillin in spank you very much, but to run in? Yes I would run in these. The Magabounces I have now work very well so far. I mean I haven’t ran in them too long or too often, but they feel great. I am mad that I haven’t really done anything in them but i think that will change in the next couple of weeks.
I think this is for the serious runner (jogging) or someone who is interested in comfort while running or going for long walks. I think the price is good and there is no way that if you run during the twilight hours that a car won’t see you cause these things reflect.
On Sale: Nike Hyperdunk and Olympic Hyperdunk Release
You got your regular Hyperdunk (for $109.99)
or your Olympic Hyperdunks
The Olympics cost more… $124.99
Eastbay did it again! lol They have the brand spanking new Hyperdunks and they also have the Olympic Hyper Dunks as well. They all look nice, but I prefer the non-Olympic ones (except for the China’s and Puerto Rico ones)
Lets see if anybody starts wearing them. I am sure if I go to Great Adventure again that they will show up there, but in the city, I don’t know. I guess I will see over the next 2 weeks.
One thing that has been happening as of late; there will be sneakers that will be sold out, but you never see them on the streets or you will hardly see them. The Air Jordan 23’s are a perfect example. I have not seen anyone wearing the white and red and just now started seeing people wearing the black and red.
Anyway, time will tell.

Ever Shop At Amazon For Sneakers? Starbury’s Soon Sold on Amazon
If I am buying a sneaker for less than 20 dollars (the price may be higher but I am sure it will still be affordable), I think I should be able to by them online LOL I never been to the Starbury store in Coney Island (is it there? I am pretty sure it is there), but my time is so tight these days… but now I can get a pair and see what everyone has beeen talking about over the pat few years since the inception of the brand.

WOW: Nike Air Penny History Video
AMAZING!!!
As seen this on The Shoe Game:
Nike has slowly been re-releasing different Air Penny models, and the return of the Air Penny II is near. Next year Nike will bring back the Air Penny III, 1/2 Cent (Air Penny hybrid), and release a new purple colorway of the Foamposite One. Nike is basically making Penny fans dreams come true, so get ready.
You know, this is why I am into sneakers (and shoes). I may be a newbie, but the sheer history behind some of these creations is amazing. I can not wait until those eggplant Foamposites come out… lets just hope that they don’t change it at the last minute.
PS
The people they interview… just WOW. And you know what, I don’t know if anybody else thought this but…I always thought that the bubble on the Penny2’s would bust walking on the streets of NY… but I never heard of any stories of the bubble busting just from casual walking down the street.
