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.
