An Interesting Look: adidas TS Lightning Creator

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

GOURMET L'OTTO

(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.

Gourmet Lotto 2

(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

Nike KD1

(a simple look that is on sale between $59-89)

*and yes that is my customized cursor… should be a sneaker lol)


What Do You See here?

Is it what you think it is?

(*hint* what type of blog is this?)

(that’s the only hint I will give)


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?
