Air Jordan Fusion 20 (XX) as seen on Sole-Locker.com

Sole-Locker got the pictures and every sneaker site online is posting the news lol

This looks nice. I like this better than the black and red one (then again, maybe it is because the strap wasn’t on… Imma have to wait to see the final sneaker). I can see this one selling out like the Fusion V’s sold out. (That reminds me, I wonder how the Fusion 3’s are doing? I haven’t seen them too much anywhere but I’m still seeing the Fusion 12’s and V’s all over)

If you want to read the comments people have for this sneaker, you can visit The Shoe Game and you can see how people felt about it on Nicekicks.com before you start saving your money lol

Man, now I have to figure out how I am going to bu these things. Looks like I may have to do some overtime lol

Could This be The New Air Jordan Fusion 6?

They look good but I though there would be more Air Jordan 6 than Air Force One. I need more shots but so far its still something I would get (lol too bad I told myself that I am only going to get the Countdown 11+12 and the Eggplant Foamposites and then take a break). I love the Air Force One supreme midsoles.

I wonder if they will do this fo the Air Jordan 7, 8, 11, 14 and 19’s? I think those will be very interesting.

For more info you can head over to The Shoe Game or Nicekicks.

This Is Cute: Sesame Street New Balance 574

As seen on Nicekicks, these are sneakers for the kiddies in your life. Sizes range from toddlers to grade school. Finishline has them on sale right now if you want to go get them.

I think Cookie Monster has fuzzy fur on the tongue but I am not sure from the pictures. if it does, that is an interesting touch.

EDIT:

Cookie Monster does have fur on the tongue! Cool touch.

Nicekicks Got Shots of The Marty McFly in Detail

You must have seen them already, but I figure I post it again. Man a few days ago the whole internet was going crazy looking for these sneakers. I don’t know about other sneaker sites but my little ole footwear site got a 2000 person per day bump from the usual 4000 (plus or minus) people who visit here.

If all the pictures you seen so far isn’t enough, go take a look at what Nicekicks did. Glow in the dark indeed.

Music Video Time: Vanessa Hudgens – “Sneakernight”

She’s into Ecko Red lol

Now its sneaker night yall!!!! lol

The video isn’t too bad and I like the song too. I don’t know about dancing for more than 2 hours though cause I have to go to work in the morning and have all sorts of other things to do… why? Cause I’m grown and sexy lol

I am glad this wasn’t just a long commercial for Ecko Red sneakers. They get a couple of spots here and there but otherwise the video stays true to the song about being comfortable and dancing for many hours at a time.

I think these are the sneakers she shows at the beginning:

PHRANZ PHARENHEIT

They look ok. I like the detail of the sneaker even though its not something I think the ladies would wear. Its still nice though. I guess I’m more into the calmer ladies sneakers lol If its gonna have colors and glitz and stuff, it needs to be solid about it.

I would love to know what the ladies think about it though.

Now This Is Smart Business: Ryz Wear Lets You Design Your Kicks for REAL for Real

As seen on Nicekicks.com and is from the new community sneaker company Ryz

No not the “us only these colors here” or the “use only these templtes there” type of mass customization for a pair of sneakers, it is real freedom (or close to it) of design. What I like best about it is that it lets people get involved with the sneaker design and even profit from the design if they are selected by the community.

You see, to me being grown and sexy is about doing just that: while you are getting yours (or while you already have it), you try to give back to help others get theirs too.

For that, and this contest, Ryz gets my full support!!! Here is what’s up for sale soon and here is a sneak at what could come out if voted toward the top.

Nice!!! Piet designed by freeskihp

Nas and Fila Working Together For Sneaker Line

Could this be the new Nas x Fila’s? And yes there is a picture of the cover of Nas’s new album

Could what we see in this picture from The.LIFE files be what people will be wearing later this year? Could this be that he has no love for 310 Motoring (who owns that company anyway???)? lol Well, I was skeptical about the sneaker but if it looks like what I see in the picture, then they may be a chance that this will sell.

I need closer shots of this thing. I will wait until one of The Fab Four of sneaker sites shows a pic.

De. Jays also has a piece on the Nas x Fila collabo with better shots of what I think will be what the sneaker will look like:

Dr Jays says they will be getting them. If they are getting them, I’m sure Finishline and Eastbay will get them too. Now bring back those Fila jump suits and sweat suits and we are in business.

Are You A HyperDunk Victim? HyperDunk Recovery Center

Hahaha this is too funny. I like the video and I like what Nike is doing with the Hyperdunk push… even though the sneaker itself looks ok aka not great (depending on colorway)… and I think these sneaker will be a revolution in how sneakers are built. Light weight and ready to play, what’s better than that? It’s definitively made for those who actually play sports and may catch on with the casual wearer too if the colorways are right (like the Mcfly Hyperdunk).

Oh and more HyperDunk drama:

LMAO

This is too much! I have to find out who the ad company who thought of this. Its pretty good.

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.
