On Sale: Nicholas Kirkwood EXCLUSIVE Lizard Skin Shoe at Browns

Never heard of Nicholas Kirkwood before EVER but I will be following the company from now on. This shoe is fabulous and I will be blogging about it on my other more grown and sexy blog for professional gentlemen (once I do the grand re-opening LOL).

These shoes cost $550 dollars of which is pretty high but considering the cost of most couture shoes, the price is pretty low. The detail of this shoe is great and the colors work well to me. Here a link to more of Kirkwood’s creations. Description of the shoe as follows:

Grey lizard skin shoe. Square toe. Metal straps and the panels of lizard skin sits across the front of the shoe. A zip fastening runs up the back. High heel. 100% Leather 100% Lizard skin, Zip fastening. Square toe, Italian sizes and 5 Inch heels.

So what do you think ladies? Is this something you would wear?

Puma x Sergio Rossi Capsule Collection… Interesting!!!

(this one is the best looking one out of all of them)

I wanted to say “WOW” considering that this is a sneaker company making high heel shoes that have a sort of sneaker quality but they are sort of more “interesting” than “wow”. Nevertheless it is defiantly noteworthy and is DEFIANTLY a collectible if you are into all footwear like I am.

Set to release next year (unless the world goes into the Great Depression II) spring/summer ‘09. As seen on Trashbag Aesthetics via HighSnobette.com

Bring Back The Nike Air Trainer Carnivore

I want, no NEEEEED this sneaker back in my life. I bought them when they originally came out (never retroed) and loved them. They were one of the most comfortable sneakers I ever bought (most comfortable I bought was the Reebok DMX 10 Runner).

I hardly ever closed the top strap but when I did there was an amazing amount of support at the ankle. The fact that they have no laces also was a plus and the fact that the foot strap really held tight to my foot and worked just as well as laces.

I am really surprised that they have not re-released them considering all the other Huarache sneakers that have released. Granted that these sneaker are not Huarache as many people think, they were part of the Cross Trainer collection of sneakers (I could be wrong but I am looking at the sneaker right now at it has the old school cross trainer symbol and NO Huarache anything).

Sooooo when is it coming: Air Jordan 14.5

I am so waiting for this one to release. The drawing looks hot and the idea of getting my hands on a version of the 14’s (my favorite Air Jordan sneaker… too bad I only have one) makes me happy. I haven’t heard anything from the sneaker news sites and blogs out there about any info on this sneaker in a while. I am guessing it will release next year considering all the Jordan’s coming out every other weekend (especially those AJ Fusions) this year. I just want to know something about them. Even a sample picture of them would be nice.

On Sale: Stacy Adams Men’s Dayton

Grown and Sexy. Period. Its even beyond my own Grown and Sexy because I would know where to begin to figure out what I would wear with this. I would need to find a fashion consultant (I know a few) to do the job. But these are some nice shoes.

As seen on Eastbay.com for $79.99

On Sale: Baby Phat Women’s Cat Duchess on Eastbay

WOOOOOW what a find while browsing the casual gear for men and women on Eastbay (I have to remind myself to do the same thing with Finishline and Nordstrom next week). I said it before and I’ll say it again, I love Baby Phat. These shoes look real nice and I can’t imagine why one of my lady friends wouldn’t want to wear these fabulous shoes.

There are plenty of sizes left and they are on sale for 79.99 of which I think is pretty good.

Description of the Baby Phat Women Cat Duchess

Get your feet ready for the cooler weather without compromising your feminine style. The Baby Phat Cat Duchess is a sleek ankle boot made with a patent PU uppper and a softly pointed closed toe with subdued center seam detail. There is a faux leather lining and cushioned faux-leather-topped insole. The 1/4″ midsole has a shiny gleam that complements the 4.5″ thin heel and smooth textile sole.

Nice, real nice.

On Sale: Jordan’s Mens Jumpman Pro Team Is BACK

(as seen on Eastbay.com- and other fine online retailers – for $115)

I didn’t like them when they originally came out, but for some reason I love them now. If it wasn’t for the fact that like 600 dollars was wrapped up into getting Jordans (I did buy a pair of Rockports on sale… review with pictures later), Creative Recreation’s and Supra’s for the rest of the year I would get them.

Anyway, if you want a pair, get them at Eastbay. To see what other colorways should be coming out or may be out already but I am just too lazy to look for, take a look at Kicks on Fire.com

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.
