On Sale: Jeffrey Campbell North 6 at DavidZ

Jeffrey Campbell North 6

(on sale at David Z for 80 Bucks…old school with new school style)

A nice shoe for those dress up times when you just can’t go to the club, bar, lounge, red carpet, diner party (need I go on? gentlemen, you have to get your game up… start your sneaker collection, but don’t forget the shoes please) and look like a bum lol

Jeffrey Campbell North 6 Detail

I wouldn’t begin to know what to wear with these shoes, but that’s what fashion consultants are for (and Mom’s, wifes, daughters and so on… I guess I can get some guys opinions too maybe lol)


Video: Air Jordan I commercial – Banned

Doesn’t that bring back memories? Well, doesn’t it? Do you think Air Jordan should bring back the AJ1′s that ORIGINALLY released way back when (no patent leather please, spank you very much). I know he said (or some people in his team said) that there will be no more retros for a while (although they seem to be breaking that rule already… mad AJ1′s releasing this year in crazy colorways much like the Air Force One of many years past) but I would love to get a true Old Love Pack out to the masses.

I call it the TRUE Old Love Pack (with original colorways from the original release).


SandS Sunday Sports: Charles Barkley Said What About DWI?

Charles Barkley Alpha Force from Nicekicks and highsnobiety

(what does this have to do with Barkley? you should know)

Yes, the guy who wore CB4 and other history making sneakers said that he was driving wildly due to him trying to chace down a lady… for specific reasons lol I tell you I do not know if I would go all out like that and then SAY it to millions of people, but that’s why we love (or hate) Charles Barkley.

So does this incedent devalue the sneakers you have collected or not?

Charles gets Arrested – MSN Sports

In other news…

Also NFL Player and Super Bowl Hero Gets Arrested… but no sneakers were harmed in the action.

Lebron May Sign Extention With Caves

Lebron and Co Can’t get Past… the Wizards??? lol

Which team do you think will win the NBA title… for that matter, which sneaker/team sneaker will win NBA title?

Sunday Sports wrap up just keeps on getting better…


Sneaker Companies Sponsoring Birthday Parties?

Terrance J Holding Rockports

(its Terrence J holding some Rockports back in April 2008)

While looking for past posts from my blog and others for my Digging in the Sneaker Creates post, I came across this lovely picture of a pair of casual shoes from Rockport.

Rockport PLUS Angel Lola Luv - As seen on The YBF

(its Angel Luv standing next to some new Rockports)

 

Just look at those shoes…

You know, I was not aware (or maybe just didn’t pay attention to) the fact that sneaker and shoe companies sponser celebrity parties. Even have a “red carpet” type walk in and such.

I must be slow cause I think this has been happening for a while. Anyway, here are a couple more shots where you actually see what the people are wearing on their feet:

(dancing Teyana wearing Jordan Spiz’ike “Do The Right Thing”)

Lil Wayne at Terrence J Birthday Party

(looks like Lil Wayne is checking his fresh… Converse Hi-tops)

Ciara at Terrence J NY Birthday Party

(what’s Ciara wearing on her feet? I recognize those shoes)

So far I think we have seen Spizike’s, Converse’s, Rockport’s and grown and sexy shoes for the ladies…

Angel Luv showing off her... shoes at Terrance Js NY Birthday Bash

I think I will end…. yes, I will end on this note. For more pictures of celebs parting it up from a few months ago, visit The YBF.com


HareForce Continues: Air Jordan “Hare” 1 Retro + Other Hare Raising Releases

(of course this has absolutely nothing to do with sneakers lol)

(…well other than Bugs Bunny and the title of the cartoon LMAO)

Air Jordan Collezione Countdown Pack 7 + 16

It all started back when the CountDown Pack release of AJ7 and AJ16… and it is looking like the year 2009 will bring plenty of hare for your feet.

So lets look at the hare air force:

Air Jordan Fusion 6 2009 Collection

(ok, ok, not EXACTLY “hare” colored but its close enough)

Air Jordan 1 Retro Hare

(love the look of the Air Jordan 1 Hare as seen on Nicekicks)

Air Jordan 1 Mid Womens Hare

(the Air Jordan 1 “Hare” based off of Lola Bunny as seen on Nicekicks)

Its looking good. Personally, the AJ7 “Hares” was the second best release (behind the Air Jordan 23 Stealth… and you should see what the Top Ten for me was for men AND women) and the colorway is very nice. You can get away with a grown and sexy look with them if that is what you are aiming for. Now you can have that same colorway on the AJ1 and the Fusion 6′s.

2009 is looking good… not as good as 2008 sneakerwise, but good nonetheless. Pics from Nicekicks.com (so if you want more detail/pictures go there).
