Air Jordan Fusion 13 Now In Black and White… and still a hot mess
(changing the colors helps a little… but not enough)
I am just not going to put the energy into commenting on this freakin mess of a fusion. I like the fusions and the hybrids, but this… take a look at what people are saying on sneakernews, KicksonFire, The Shoe Game, Sneakerfiles AND Nicekicks:
freshest 13 year old around
i like all da fusions dat came out but even i dnt like dez but i think dey will grow on me like da fusion 9s
Are there positive opinions of this sneaker? Sure
These are HOT S***! I don’t get all the fusion haters, if you don’t like them don’t buy them. I think these are probably the best looking fusions so far! And haters be damned cuz I’m most definitely picking these up.
Nevertheless, as far as this fusion is concerned, I give up. If is sells well, I can’t wait to see what people have to say… if it don’t… I can’t wait to see what people have to say. Personally, I will take a look at them in real life, but I refuse to ACTUALLY touch them with my hands LMAO
I will say one thing though, at least people are talking about it. Most of the time when it comes to sneaker or shoes if no one comments on them then its a total flop and no one care. Obviously people care and we will see if it is a flop when it get sold.

One Womans Shoe Collection
(did you catch all the names and stores?)
Sales, whats comfortable and lots of store name drops. I am sure most ladies already know this, but hey I figured I post it anyway. Was looking for video and opinions on Cole Haan shoes. I was told by one person on Twitter than they are quite comfortable so it may be an option for those women who are tired of the hard shoe heel feel.

PS
If you have a video of your shoe or sneaker collection, add a link here and I will be sure to pick the best and post it online. when you make the video try to also put as much info as possible in the Youtube info area.
In the future there will be contests so get your shoe game (and sneaker game) on!
adidas SLVR Collection is pretty interesting
(do you think you can work this look?)
This is an interesting looking sneaker/shoe/high heel for the ladies. Its sort of a big mix of all 3 and I am not sure if it does it well (probably need to see it in person), but it sure is a looker and you WILL get attention to your feet wearing them; no question. I think the lady wearing these will do well to get something to match for sure. This is one high heeled sneaker that DEMANDS you to dress for them and not the otherway around.
Here is a quote from Sneaker Freaker about this sneaker and the collection:
Launched early this year with a tagline boast of being ‘Simply Perfect’, this new range from adidas is a cocky start to a whole new ballgame. Whilst SLVR appears to be a high fashion concept, adidas PR describes it as ‘affordable, attainable and ultimately wearable’ which, given prices for the footwear are all under €130, seems fair enough. Perhaps the most interesting SLVR footwear innovation is what the shoes don’t have. Like the deadpan Stan Smiths of yesteryear, the range has no adidas branding, no trefoil and zero stripes. The only indication of a maker’s mark are three horizontal bars. There’s also tote bags, socks and a line of classically basic clothing that
has a slight sport tinge to it, and even SLVR flip flops.
Tote bags, flip flops, low cost aka affordable (well lower cost than high end 200+ dollar sneakers) and only those in the know will actually know your footwear is from adidas.
In Sneaker News: Air Jordan Hall Of Fame Pack PROBLEMS – Getting Sued???
(wow… never thought that someone would dislike a pack so much…)
EDIT: Hall of Fame Pack is to release September 5 2009 (and one comment on Kicks on Fire that is currently unverified, states that the Hall of Fame pack has been renamed to Moments… again, this is unverified)
It would seem that there is a slight problem with the Hall Of Fame Pack. Some company that I never heard of (Sports Fuzion Inc) is seeking remedy against Nike because of junk and junk related to some stuff and stuff. I swear I don’t understand the connection between a Hall Of Fame Pack and a company with the word Fuzion in it…
Ok, seriously, Nike deals with sports, Sport fusion deals with… I guess sports, and both are dealing with Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. That is apparently the connection… because somehow you the buyer are going to get very confused that Nike, a sneaker/shoe company, also is somehow related to Sports Fuzion and whatever they do (I refuse to look it up).
But here is the REAL meat of the lawsuit… (more…)
adidas Vulcanized Boot (KAZUKI OBYO COLLECTION) is like wow dude!!!!
(but are these really boots??? lol)
Here is the quote from Sneaker Freaker about this sneaker:
We’ve shown you the adidas x Jeremy Scott ObyO (Originals by Originals) collection, now it’s time to hit you with the 2nd installment, designed by Tokyo’s fashion darling Kazuki. Having worked closely with Japanese labels BAPE, Fragment Design, Neighborhood and Visvim in the past, Kazuki brings his flair for tailored fashion to the casual market with his inspiring collection for adidas. For more information on the collection, hit up the mini site at Hanon Shop.
So basically this is one hot looking boot and/or sneaker. adidas is a sneaker company I love, but for whatever reason they don’t seem to do to well in the casual area of footwear. Coming up with this makes me think that they are making a comeback to the shell top adidas days of the 1980′s.
Maybe some of these sneaker companies should team up with designers more often to come up with something that the streets will actually love.
On Sale: Reebok Smoothfit Selectride on Eastbay
(now you can select a ride LMAO)
I have NO IDEA if this works but it sure does sound off. Its a little too pricey for me to just buy it only to test it out, but I figure I will try t read the reviews of the sneaker and maybe I can ask someone to review it.
But other than selecting a ride, there is nothing special style wise about the sneaker. I am sure if I was running track like I used to back in the day that this sneaker would be used quite allot but its not a casual or sports fashion sneaker that’s for sure.
Here is a video of the sneaker from Stack.com (they even show a inner detail of the sneaker) that you can go see over there. Reebok has a couple of vides on this sneaker so check them out too:
(I will be the first to admit I did not watch the whole thing lol)
You can join the fun for $149.99 at Eastbay
On Sale: Luichiny Women’s ‘Maven’ High-heel Sandals at Overstock
(they look like they hurt… so you know they will look HAWT)
(and yes, they have a video for the shoe too on Overstock)
Ladies, ladies, ladies…. please, I am just trying to help lol Allot of my picks are just on a design and sex-iness point of view from what a guy would like to see who just happens to be into footwear. if you don’t know, sneakerheads tend to be leaders (now where did I read that???) and if that’s what you want, you got to get your shoe game up. I think this may help just a little.
No sure if this is a collectable though… so I will leave that alone

(nice style for the ladies who wants something casual and stylish)
Overstock has got to be a place you should go when you want something that is sold out in other places. If you are a shoe collector, then going there would probably be a good idea. if you collect sneakers it is also a good idea as some interesting finds can be seen there.

Fergalisious… A Footwear Line for Fergie… why? just because
(holy crap how did I miss this?)
Somewhere and somehow Fergie of Black Eye peas came out with a shoe line???? She got sneaker, shoes and what looks like flip-flops. Will celebrities and fashion lines ever stop? probably not. I am sure this news came out a minute ago but I have been mostly focused on sneakers for a minute now. But still, I am not really sure how this one slipped through my fingers.
(it just gets more interesting…)
She seems to have some very interesting shoes for sale. I can’t knock it cause they are attractive and THEY ARE NOT TOO EXPENSIVE. Many shoes are priced in the 99.99 range. A good look for those who want fashion but don’t have 300+ dollars for womens shoes (and guys complaining about Kayne West LV kicks? lol)
Super Sale: Steve Madden Women’s ‘Tamiah’ Pumps on Overstock
(an interesting look for almost HALF OFF)
Currently on Overstock for $64.99 (was 116.99). Sizes 6.5 to 10 are left currently as I write this. if you like Steve Madden ladies, then give this a look (oh and ladies, sorry I have been ignoring your shoes so much as of late… but I have learned my lesson… expect more womens shoe and sneaker news as well as stuff on sale across the net).
Details from OverStock.com:
- Sleek and sexy shoes from Steve Madden are perfect for your little black dress
- Pumps feature matte uppers with unique patent leather criss-cross straps on vamp
- Women’s shoes available in a black color option

- Patent leather upper portion of heel
- Slip-on design with elastic inset for a custom fit

I think a guy would notice you in these. Get your shoe game up ladies 9and don’t forget, a women who knows her sneaker game will also get MAD respect from the gentlemen)

Future Sole… So what did you vote for?
(so I guess you guys know what I voted for)
Austin J is a winner to me. Although I liked most of the entries that was submitted (I was wondering why there wasn’t more entries to the contest), but I liked the one Austin J the best.
Here are some others that I found interesting:
If you want to vote, then head over to Nike’s Future Sole website and start voting.
An Interesting Look: adidas TS Lightning Creator
(the colors… looks at all the colors)
I guess its sort of a response to Nike’s Swagger Terminator sneakers but I wouldn’t put it on the same planet as far as style. It’s like 2 totally different styles; one is high end smooth and the other is more gansta ruff, but still attractive…. just not to me lol
See more pics at Kenlu.net (because I refuse to post it here lol) The sneaker also seems to have glow in the dark soles of which add a nice touch to them (but that don’t make them Yeezy’s)
The Gourmet L’Otto Looks Very Good
(now this is one smoooo000OOOth)
This is the very same sneaker company who made sneakers that looked oddly like Jordans (an obvious copy but I think they did it in fair taste and wasn’t trying to hide it – like other companies I could mention). But these sneakers (even with the air bag look) have an original look to it that I think many people can appreciate.
(it just gets smoother! a must buy for the grown and sexy)
Its defiantly for those who want a classic look with a touch of today’s technology. The sneaker comes in 2 colorways and you can bet that the other colorway is just as hot as this one is. You can see more about it on Sneaker Freaker.com
On Sale: KD1 at Eastbay
(a simple look that is on sale between $59-89)
*and yes that is my customized cursor… should be a sneaker lol)
Zappos + Amazon = The Future of Funk: Amazon has purchased Zappos
(but will this merger WORK???)
Think long term (5 year and 10 year time frames), put costomers first, obsess over customers, invention… investing your way out of a box… inventing for customers…. ok, I have heard enough. It is an interesting video that I think ANYONE who is into footwear (whether its sneaker or shoes) should be into this news. I do not know if this will be the right move for Zappos of Amazon (although I will admit that Amazon’s footwear selections are lame as hell), but if Amazon is right (and they sure think they are) we won’t know until 7 years from now because they are thinking “long term”.
The biggest thing I am interested in is what will happen to Zappos and its culture?
As The Rips Turn: Shape Ups Shoes From Skechers – Fitness Footwear
I swear they say “buttocks” like 10+ times
(and the video is a must watch… BUTTOCKS!!!)
Skechers has a new fitness sneaker that looks allot like MBT walking shoes (that cost more). So far I ave not seen anything that says that Skechers has bought a license to use the technology or that they created it on their own so I have to say that Skechers is continuing to do the rip jobs that they are more and more seem to be known for (remember those kicks that are for young girls that look strangely like Pastry sneakers? hmmmm…)
I don’t mind copying as it is sort of a way of saying someone is doing a good job and it so good that I want to copy it, but how many times are you going to do it?
I will be going further into this and may even get someone to help right up a review on which one is better… but in the mean time, you have to watch the video on the sneaker that Skechers made:
Wrap-Up Interview with Wale
(and the sneaker revolution continues!!!!)
Did you guys catch this? Wale, the guy known for his kicks as well as his rryhmes, did a interview with Rap-Up as the Leaders of the New School (as a guy who follows Hip Hop, I say its about time) and I encourage you guys to read it. Its not creazy indepth but its still interesting.
I Love The and1 Look: and1 Progression Mid
(is and1 making a comeback???)
As seen on Kenlu.net, the and1 Progression is looking real good. Its a nice clean look for the court or off the court. I am not sure how many kids would get this because its not “Nike” or Jordan, but I do think for adults its a great option for something to wear.
The 3 different colorways can be seen on Kenlu.net
Looks Like Finishline Stepped Its Game Up: Updated Website
(looks like we got ourselves a updated site)
While browsing the net for new sneakers and shoes on sale, I headed to FinishLine (as usual) and noticed that the site got updated just a touch. It now features a slide show of featured items, links to your favorite sneaker lines, and tags to your, ou guessed it, favorite sneaker lines as well as specific sneakers or shoes on sale.
And a nice touch, some footwear companies get a special landing page (sometimes I hate that because I want to go directly to the sneakers) that actually looks good and is useful. Reeboks landing page (when you click on the category tag REEBOK) actually has info on it I want to see and they CLEARLY mark where I can click to get to the kicks I want to see (or all the kicks they have at Finishline)
Desktop Fun: Get Your Wallpaper Game Up
(well, guess who’s in the fothermuckin house LOL)
You guys may not have noticed, but I am into changing my desktop into a sneaker (or shoe) haven. Wallpaper with matching skins for XP/Vista and a matching cursor and maybe matching icons for the whole system.
Maybe that is a little extreme for most people who probably only want a wallpaper but hey, I am a special kind of guy.
You can find some of the stuff I use fo my desktop at WinCustomize.com and the programs to run it from Stardock.com
Fantastic. Wallpapers are from Nicekicks and from Flickr’s Sneaker Pimps Photo Group
On Sale: PUMA Cell Voltra at FootAction
(this looks VERY interesting)
I plan on stopping by FootAction sometime in the next week (hopefully to pick up those Half Cent Penny’s) and I hope to see these in the store so I can get a look at them. I can’t imagine that the whole yellow area being cushion but then again with technology going as far as it is, why not? Can’t wait to get a closer look at this.
So who is willing to put there feet in these for $99.99?
See more pics of these at kenlu.net
Apparently, The Half Cent Penny Hybrid Has Released In Some (1) Store(s)
(FootAction did a surprise release????)
Can they give a brother a break? I mean seariously, I have been wanting these kicks for a minute now, waiting for ANY news that has to do with there release and then BAM like a brick wall in the face at 50 miles an hour I see a Tweet from @Nicekicks about someone buying a pair at a FootAction in NYC… MY HOMETOWN!!!
Can’t get over there… don’t have the money set aside for them even if I could… and they will be probably gone by the time I do get there… well, lets hope that other stores release this sometime next week so that maybe I can get one too.
EDIT
Now wit video from someone who went to go and get it:
I am still in shock. I am also quite mad as well, but i have to admit that this could actually be a way for people who really want to buy the sneaker to wear or keep can actually get them and avoid those people who buy them just to sell them for cash.
Hmmmm… I wonder if this will set the sneaker-nets on fire this week as the word gets passed around.
