La La Loves Her Shoes

Ok ladies, I have been ignoring your shoes for too long. Mad stuff has come out already but I didn’t say a word. Hopefully that will change in the next week. But to hold you over I do have some shoe news for the ladies. La La is a Twitter fiend! She posts on more stuff than you probably want to know. While I was looking for this Pink Range Rover she wanted to sell on eBay on her TwitPic profile, I cam across these pics of her shoes. Read more »

New LeBron VII! Now With Flywire!

(this has ALLOT of potential with colorways)

(and you know LeBron and Nike can come up with colorways)

You know LeBron had his down moments this year loosing to Dwight Howard’s team in the finals, and that terrible display of sportsmanship for not shaking hands for the winners and no press conference (and some crap about winners don’t like to loose… winners don’t like to wine about losing either), but this maybe his comeback sneaker.

Not only is it using flywire but it seems to also be using the new Air Max bag. What, no more Zoom? No more double stacked Zoom either? Not sure if that is a good move but I will have to wait for more info. I have to admit my Air Max 2009+ is FAR more comfortable than the Air Max 360 (and that is saying allot because the 360 was pretty comfortable).

I wonder if Brand Jordan is watching… can’t even IMAGINE a Air Jordan line with a Air Max cushion for comfort.

And here is another strange thing that may not last too long… the LeBron branding Lion isn’t anywhere to be seen.

More Packs To Drain Your Wallet!!! – Air Jordan 2009 – Hall of Fame Pack

(^^^dude… what the hell^^^)

(^^^ a little better, but not by much^^^)

(^^^AJ 1 looks… interesting^^^)

Okay… ummmmm… I love the idea for this project. The pack currently consists of 4 sneakers – the AJ1, AJ 3, AJ 2009, and the Six Rings.

It is sort of obvious why those particular sneakers were chosen. The Six Rings is more obvious, as well as the AJ 1 (first Air Jordan), and the AJ III (if you know some of the Jordan history, you will know that the AJ III almost didn’t happen). But the AJ 2009 seems a little bit of an odd pick. Other than being the last Air Jordan made, I don’t find the connection to the Hall of Fame very light ESPECIALLY since the last Air Jordan doesn’t carry a number after it, it carries the year it came out.

That ends the good news about this pack.

And now the bad news: Read more »

Footlocker Europe Promoting Sneaker Violence???

(there not even Jordans lol)

You can scuff my Tim’s and my Nikes, but you better not step on my Mikes… all jokes aside, stepping on someones feet is a touchy subject. Its like the wild west and you drop you hat and someone steps on it.

If someone steps on your brand new kicks by accident, be an adult and forget about it. But what if it is done on purpose?… Well, violence is not the way, but I am sure some yelling may incur.

So is this video too much? Over the top?

New Nike Air Trainer I

(was that Bo Jackson in the video???)

Vid is just one of the videos posted on HighSnob’s YouTube channel. Details below:

Get a detailed look at the latest from Nike – the Nike Trainer 1. The Nike Trainer 1 looks back at the original Air Trainer and creates even more ways to give the athlete the ultimate training advantages. Dynamic and innovative, the Nike Trainer 1 was designed to provide todays athletes with lightweight comfort and support as they prepare for competition.

Its nice to see what went behind making the next generation kicks. Nothing like seeing a sneaker sliced in half to see how it is put together.

I tried to do that when I was younger… Mom did not approve lol

Lawd Have Mercy… Any News On The Air Jordan 14.5?

(why lawd, just tell me why no news on this yet?)

No news that I am aware of on these proposed sneaker hybrid between the AJ14 and the AJ15. I hope they are still planning on releasing these in the future. There were no mock up or samples of this sneaker so all I have to go on is the drawing done by Kenlu

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.
