Diggin In The Crates: Converse All Star Suede as seen on Sneakernews.com A Year Ago
\
(as seen on sneakernews.com)
With all the releases, previews, one shots, limited editions, hyper limited edition, quick strikes, wishlists, and so forth, allot of sneakers and shoes get lost in the mix. So its about time to start looking back at what people were (and wasn’t) talking about. So not only will I be digging through my own blog posts over the past year and a half, I will be looking at what other sneaker blogs have looked at as well as some stuff I liked that came out years ago but is still freakin fresh (at least to me of course).
Just diggin in those crates…
Video: Air Jordan 11 “Concord” Commercial
If only the Concords were released for the countdown pack that released this December ’08 (more on the recap of that later… it was crazy cause everybody got a story). Anyway, take a look at what could have been.
Video: Nike commercial – Evolution
Don’t know when this commercial came out (I never saw it) but its cool. NAME THE SNEAKERS!!! All I know is if my sneakers do anything like what I am seeing in this video with my feet in them, at the very least I will want my money back LMAO
On Sale: Asics Fabre BL-L at David Z
While searching for the link to those new Ralph Luren Polo boots, I started to notice there is some real heat on this site. I am sure other sneaker sites gave many people the heads up on some of these, but I think this stuff deserves being revisited when they actually go on sale (or when you forget about them a few months after they went on sale).
There is so much fresh out there, how does one keep up? lol These Asics are real cool with a nice earthy brown look. Dope!
On Sale: PoloRalph Lauren Ranger at DavidZ
As first seen on Hypebeast, this shoe got some taste, style and I do believe you will get some swagger points for them too. I think its for the grown and sexy as well even though they are defiantly straight boots. What’s the best part of this shoe? The guy on the horse playing polo lol
You can order them now on David Z (site got rediesigned if your a regular shopper there and you don’t recognize the new look).
Converse x UNDFTD = The Poorman’s Weapon
Hawt, Hawt, HAWT!!! I am totally in love with these sneakers right here. Converse and UNDFTD did some real work right here. First seen on High Snob.
I like the texture, the stitching, the material and the over all look. It may be just the pictures doing more of the talking than than the sneaker, but I think this sneaker will look great in real life .
But what’s the best part? I think if they get messed up and scuffed that they will look even better!!! I can already see parts of the sneaker falling off as part of the artistry of the sneaker.
Maybe I am gushing too much about them but I need these sneakers.
This Converse Poorman’s Weapon designed by UNDFTD draws on inspiration from satin material from flight jacket’s providing an impressive aesthetic. Featuring a Chuck Taylor sole the nylon upper provides a great combat look while the velcro patches and a “War is Big Business” embroidered patch definitely make this a unique sneaker. The release will happen come January next year so be on the look out for this highly anticipated release.

PS
You might wanna take a look at the original Poorman’s. Saw this while searching for these. Take a look at this:
