Olympic Sneakers and Shoes: adidas Men’s adiStar Sprint
I saw these tonight being worn by Marshevet Hooker (she is from the University of Texas) running in lane 9 for the 200M (for those who taped the games to see later). I never liked lane 9 when I was running track, but its a mental thing I guess. In lane 9 you are basically running against yourself because you can’t see anybody and when you do, it means you’re in trouble because now your running on the outside trying to catch up with someone on the inside.
LOL, you know whats funny? Lane 1 isn’t any better because now everyone is ahead of you and you feel like your last and forgetaboutit if you don’t start passing people on the curve cause you aint caching them on the straight-a-way.
Anyway, back to the track shoes, they look ok, but they looked MADDD odd out there on the field. You can’t miss them if you are looking at the womens feet for that 200M heat. They looked like they weighed a ton.
Not sure if I would run in them, but I will admit that they look pretty cool. not great, but cool.
Get yours (if you want it) at Eastbay.com on sale for $59.99 (not bad considering the original price is 79.99) of which is a good place for sports equipment. I wouldn’t say this is a collectible, but make no mistake, as my collection of sneakers and shoes grow, there will be some alternative sneakers in the bunch and I will probably have a couple pairs of track shoes in there.
Find more about Marshevet Hooker here or just Google her.
From Nicekicks: Virtual Mo Gets Political… sort of… With Sneakers: Mo-Boma + MoCain
Oh you have the read the info on these sneakers. And just when you think you can’t take “no mo”, he hits you with the other side of things:
LOL @ Mo Cain!!! And the idea to put Mc Cain on “old people shoes” because that is a shoe of his time is just funny (and cool at the same time). If you are wondering who the maker of this shoe is, let me make you feel oh so much better: San Antonio Shoes (made in America)
And you know Nader has to get in the mix and Virtual Mo put him on some green clogs by Birkenstock (I guess its hard to get the word Mo in Nader… MoNader?) . I’mma gonna let you be surprised and just let you click the link to see that one.
All made by Virtual Mo and are “one off pairs” which means no one else has them and they are not released for public consumption. None of the shoes mentioned or the companies named endorsed making these footwear items and are a artist creation of Virtual Mo (read that on Nicekicks…. I didn’t think they were but I guess you gotta add this type of stuff)
