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.
More on Nicekicks.com
See the shots and understand your future in 2015!!! And look at how much they are selling for on eBay LOL
Music Video Time: Vanessa Hudgens – “Sneakernight”
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:
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.
Sneakerhead Raps Air Jordan… and Sneaker Blogs Listen
I’m back!!! And look at all the stuff I missed!
This video has been everywhere, including on the sites I consider the Fab Four of sneaker sites (if you aint going to Sneakerfiles, Sneakernews, The Shoe Game or Nicekicks, then you are mis-informed on whats happening on kicks… heck, I might make it The Furious Five but I’m still checking out one of the sites to add to the list of coolest sneaker sites), and this video gets allot of love in the comments (except for Sneakersnews.com… I don’t know why but people don’t comment too much on Sneakernews).
As a person who is just getting into being a sneaker collector and wanting the latest and greatest to add to my collection, I learned a few things from this video rap. I don’t pretend to know everything about sneaker culture (even though I am still going to be opinionated so deal with it lol) but I do want to learn more (and I have a long way to go). I hope more people get creative and school us newbies.
As Seen On Amazon: Visco-Gel Toe Spacers
Da price: $3.95 and yeah, they are squishy lol
Man, I can’t get enough of these toe spacers can I? Unlike the other spacer posted here on Sneakers and Shoes, I actually use this one (not saying that there is anything wrong with the other one lol). It has helped my foot a great deal considering that my big toe is basically trying to leave me foot, stage left.
Anyway, I think guys and gals both wear sneakers or shoes that may not fit too well (I think ladies do it more than guys but guys ignore their feet more than ladies so it still stands that both need to take care of their feet), so here on this blog i will try to shed some light on foot care as much as possible.
Amazon has these, but I think you can find this in your neighborhood Rite-Aid or Duane Reade (why pay for shipping lol). If you know you just aint gonna go around the corner and down the block to your store to get them, you can order them at Amazon for 3.95… yes, 3 dollars and 95 cents.
On Sale: The Chinese Laundry A-List at Zappos.com
Not too sure about the name of the company, but the ladies shoe looks real nice. It also looks painful, but its still nice. Besides, you can always use the toe spreader if your toes end up being crushed by the shoe.
It comes in 3 different colors and they seem to have the standard sizes left. As a guy, I think I would love to see my lady in this. Again, I don’t know how bad this will hurt your toe-toes, but how long are you going to wear them anyway? lol
Chinese Laundry A-List at Zappos for $100.00 (not too bad). For more from Chinese Laundry (who decided to call their company this? lol) click here.
OMG!!! New Balance Classic (at least to me) W801 All Terrian
Well, this is a blast from the past… and it will set you back $75.00
I think my Mom will be very happy to know that these are available again (either this is a re-release or just left overs from back in the day, I am not sure). I remember when I bought my sister, my mom and me these sneakers. I wanted a sneaker that we all could wear and considering that NIKE, ADIDAS AND REEBOK continue to not make sneakers for people with different feet (narrow, normal, widths) and these seemed to fit the bill.
The funny thing is that the NB 801 is that I didn’t like it too much. It was just too hard on the ground. I felt like I was walking on a rock lol, but my sister and Mom loved them (especially my Mom). Don’t get me wrong, the sneaker was nice, but it was a real all terrain sneaker. I never ran cross country in them but I am VERY sure that they would have protected my feet against the rocks, tree roots, hard frozen ground, and so forth that basically is Cross Country running. They were not for casual walking around in for me and my feet.
Nevertheless, I think Mom will be very happy to get these. I just hope they do the trick when it comes to her feet and knees. I really want Mom to get a cushion sneaker instead but maybe this will do the trick until we can find something weather proof for walking in.
Here are some details from the Zappos.com site about the sneaker:
Detail of the New Balance 801
No leather materials used in construction. The original “All Terrain” running model built with ABZORB® cushioning heel and forefoot and an aggressively lugged outsole. Designed for under-pronators to neutral runners. ABZORB® heel and forefoot provides maximum shock absorption. C-Cap® midsole- lightweight compression molded EVA provides cushioning and flexibility. Aggressive solid rubber outsole provides long-wearing durability and traction. Water resistant Synthetic/Mesh upper keeps feet dry in inclement weather conditions. Strobel Lasted SL-1. Shoe weighs 10.6 oz. Not sure what some of the above words mean, or want to see how this product was measured? Look it up in our online glossary! (they have an online glossary!! GREAT!!!)
If you want these sneaker, then head over to Zappos.com for them. They cost $75.00 which isn’t too bad. Zappos has some more New Balance classics if you are interested.
On Sale: The Exact Science X Complex Mag Kicks Ass T-Shirt at Karmaloop
(I really like karmaloops models. These are the realist poses I have even seen online)
Here is another t-shirt that will help you, the wearer, express your inner sneaker freaker. Exact Science and Complex did a collabo and created this t-shirt:
Exact Science & Complex Magazine collaborate to bring you the Kicks Ass T-Shirt featuring a cotton composition, a print reading “Kicks + Ass” with a photo underneath of just that on a polka dot background, and the Complex & Exact Science logo on the bottom. Source: Karmaloop
For “whatever reason” sneakers and half naked ladies just seem to go together. So does beer apparently, and cars. LOL, give me some kicks and some girls at a party and I’ll go.
The Exact x Complex t-shirt is on Karmaloop for $26.00 (do you remember a time when a t-shirt cost 15 bucks? lol Coogi is the baddest when it comes to expensive t-shirts)
Super Sale: The Alien Stomper Sneaker- Limited Edition on Karmaloop
What the helix is this? LOL This sneaker is built on ugly and uses colors of what you would find in the toliet bowl.
With that said, I like it. I don’t like it allot, but I like it. I don’t know what movie they are talking about or if I may have watched it or not. I think it is a collectible mostly because it is limited and it hails from a movie.
Nice detail and it really saves the sneaker from being too “do-do brown”
If you see any aliens, please feel free to stomp them out as seen in the movie. On sale at Karmaloop for $30.00 (Super Sale original price $79.99)
On Sale: The Cease Sneaker by Gourmet
AJ7 or is it The Cease Canvas?
Well, I like them, but I am just not sure about the idea of looking so much like the Air Jordans that they so obviously look like.
I mean… I don’t know. I really don’t think Brand Jordan would do this or be able to get away with it but a smaller company can make a tribute sneaker like this and say “lets give it up for MJ for taking sneakers to a new level”. So part of me says this is great and looks rather good (some of them, not into all the colors), and then there is another part of me that thinks this is a little on the copy side.
I think it is a buy, but I am sure many sneaker collectors may not think so. As seen on Karmaloop.com and it sell for $145.00 (kinda allot for a canvas sneaker I think)
BTW
Before anybody comments and says that these are fakes, they are not fakes. The are real sneaker made my a real company, but they are not Jordans.
On Sale: The TUF Muska Skytop
What a great detail!!! I love it! Price: $120.00
I don’t know if YOU are looking for some Supra’s, but I am. Is it me, or are all sorts of companies coming out with with some real cool stuff. While I am not interested in all of Supra’s stuff, I do love the Muska. They just seem cool and causal to me.
You can get them at Karmaloop.com for $120.00
Bronzed Air Jordan 23 Looks Pretty Interesting
Saw this while looking for stuff on future Air Jordan’s. This is the most… interesting… idea that I have seen in a while and first seen on the Niketalk forum Air Jordan summary post. This guy bronzed his pair of Air Jordan 23′s and a statue or something. I don’t know, I’m too lazy to go back and read it (you can see all about it here) lol
I like the statue, but the sneakers, I don’t know. I want the sneakers to be more even toned for some reason but I will admit that the color really does work well with it.
Sneaktip says “I got 99 Problems But My Kicks Aint One”
If you havin foot problems, I feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems but my kicks ain’t one
HIT ME!!! lmao Sorry, I had to do it. It was as lame as hell, but it still had to be done. Anyway, this is another find off the Karmaloop site. I swear I have to go here more often. I never shopped there but that won’t last for long. I will be getting my jeans and t-shirts there soon. I already see 4 t-shirts I want and this is one of them.
I don’t know the history behind Sneaktip but they got allot of nice t-shirts (and jeans, just check this one out lol NOT FOR THE KIDS) on Karmaloop. Most of them I like, others I just don’t understand at all LOL
By the way, ladies, Sneaktip does leave you behind either.
You Like The Puma Bode (Like I Do), Then Maybe You Like This…
Man, I gotta put Karmaloop on my list of sites to visit. They got all the cool stuff. While I am not sure if I would go for the bright yellow with starts look myself, it does match the sneakers.
So if you want the t-shirt, go and get it. If you want the sneakers, go and get it (4 different flavors).
I Love NY T-shirts Are Back
I don’t know if it will be as popular as last year, but they are back. I have already seen the t-shirt many times since June. I am thinking that the people who bough probably like 5 different colors of the t-shirt don’t want to just not wear them anymore, so they are putting them on faithfully much like last year.
If you want to be slightly different, you can get a t-shirt designed by Irak (yes, this is a interesting name for any company lol). Their t-shirt (well, its not a t-shirt… its along sleeve t-shirt) looks pretty good and will match any sneaker/shoe you decide to go out in (because its black).
Lots of sizes left, most likely because it costs 45 Dollars. As seen on Karmaloop.com
If you want more I Love NY but slightly different t-shirt then check this out here.
By the way, I like Karmaloops models. They actually look like they wear what they are modeling in.
On Sale: The Blazer High Premium Sneakers
Nike Blazer Pemuim man!!! For 90.00 TOTALLY WORTH IT!
This looks so hot. I love the casual look of this. And yes, it is a Blazer. Instead of calling this the year of the Jordan or the year of the hybrid, maybe I should call this the year of the Blazer. Talk about a comeback. Here is some info that you may or may not care about the sneaker:
The Blazer High Premium features a brown premium leather frame, laser-etched detailing on the side panel, metallic bronze leather detailing on the side & heel panels, a neon yellow Nike check, neon yellow interior lining, and a rubber sole. Source: Karmaloop.com
And take a look t this detail!!! I think it really mkes the sneaker pop without being loud and brash:
Currently sold on Karmaloop.com. Sizes are limited so head over there now.

On Sale: Evisu Is Throwing A Fourth Of July Sale
That’s right! You can get the PILAU BELT shown above for $78.00!! You think the belt is too much, well considering its original price of $155.00, I think its pretty cheap. Now of course they have other things on sale for the gentlemen, and they have some stuff for the ladies who like their Evisu wear.
Man, this is one short skirt… 95 dollars to see a whole lot of your girls legs
So the ladies and the gents get a piece of Evisu’s markdown sale. I don’t know about you, but I like these jeans (they are brash, and bold but they do have a smoothness to them.. yes, my fashion is grown and sexy lol)
That price (for a sale) is still steep though… 155 Bucks is allot of… Bucks lol I do have a question; How do you get to the point where you can sell a t-shirt ON SALE for 50 Bucks? What was the original price? $99.99!!! At that price I should be able to wear it, fly in it, get free food just by entering the grocery store with it AND be bullet proof. Oh yeah and that cotton thread count better be high! lol
On Sale: Karmaloop Got The Puma First Round Repeat
I know I saw these sneakers before somewhere… probably from one of the Fab Four of Sneaker Sites that I usually visit everyday. Anyway, these things look sweet! Very blush looking to me for some reason. Maybe its all the repeated words on the side of the sneaker. Whatever it is, it looks great.
Just look at that detail shot! This is one of those sneakers that you have to think about where you are going to wear them for the first time. To school? To work? To the house party? Just chillin? At the skate park? LOL
I like them allot, but I will be honest and say that I can not fit them in my budget.
