November ???th, 2009…. The Saga Continues!!!
REMEMBER THIS DATE YALL!!!
NOVEMBER 4TH 11th ???TH 2009
(its looking like it will be the 30th… just putting the final touches on the site now…)
(don’t be surprised if you see something different here in the next week)
sneakersandshoes.wordpress.com is now blog.sneakersandshoes.com
new main magazine page on sneakersandshoes.com
Maybe you guys have noticed its been a while since i last posted. Well, I have been trying to get things together behind the scenes to make the blog and website more helpful for those who want to know what is going on in the world of sneaker and shoe culture. I also wanted a way for people to see and research (if they want) any pair of sneakers or shoes from the past or any news stories that had happened over the course of the year.
Setting that up is a lot harder than I thought. Its one thing to set someone else’s sit up, but setting up your own is TOTALLY different.
You can see the VERY raw site from tme to time while I am putting things in place. 2 things I would like to highlight is the Gallery and the On Sale section.
With the Gallery its all about what the whole community is doing picture wise. it can be drawn images, people wearing their sneakers or whatever. its mostly focused on Flickr but can be anything. Wallpapers will also be apart of the Gallery as well as some other surprises.
As for the On sale section, I have added a map that will include location of as many stores and boutique sneaker, shoe and fashion shops that i can find. Mostly it will be centered in NYC but will eventually span out across the USA
I hope you guys hang in there. It will be worth the wait.
Some of the things you will see after November 11th:
- New design for main site and blog
- A better way to interact with people on the blog
- Maps… what does that mean? You’ll find out
- Special blog posts on specific days – Friday Fashion Review for example
- Little tweaks in some categories and tags
- And more.
All the improvements will happen during the month, but the main one… change in url… has already happened (in case you guys haven’t noticed… should have warned yall, my bad). The design theme (still working on that one) may be delayed a little bit but I hope to have that totally straitened out before November 11th.
Posting for this blog has been fun and I look forward to doing more cool stuff in the future. See yall next week! Remember, Nov 11th ???th!!!! Mark it down somewhere.

Diggin In The Sneaker Crates (shoe edition): Roberto Coin Gold Sneaker
Roberto Coin Gold Sneaker – Luxist
To celebrate the 2008 Beijing Olympics, jeweler Roberto Coin has created a few unique pieces including a $31,000 golden sneaker. The sneaker is made of 24 karat gold varnished nappa leather which is then coated with a PVC lacquered film. It is finished off with an 18K yellow gold clasp and Coin’s signature small ruby.

REEEAaaaally? I am surprised it costs so little… just digging in those sneaker crates… August 24th 2008
legimlugero, a member of NikeTalk, says you should go nuts…
(I don’t have Photoshop… )
(so I guess I will break out Paintshop Pro lol)
It may be an old post, but why should that stop anyone from adding to it? You have to be a NikeTalk member to post what you think would be a great colorway for the sneakers that legimlugero posted so join and get started (don’t forget to look me up too) .

Digging In The sneaker Crates: Custom Kicks – XBox Alpha Dunk
(now this is nice)
Man, cleaning up house for the new website debuting November 4th is helping to find all sorts of posts I didn’t make, but intended to… Well, here is another one. What is cool about this is that it actually glows in the dark (well specific parts of it deos).
This is just a dope pair of kicks. When you get a reaction of 25 comments on a post like that, it means something. As seen on KicksOnFire.com on May 17th 2009. Just diggin in the sneaker crates…
Fresh of the Presses From Eastbay… from way back in August…
(a Nike lookbook inside of the Eastbay catalog)
whoops!!! Meant to post this a while back. but I figure someone out there may want to know this…
Looks like a new colorway for the Air Max 2009+ is coming and it looks like it will be one of the hotter ones too. I love my current Air Max 2009+ and even though I have not run in them as much as I was supposed to, I have to say that they are very comfortable. Probably the most comfortable sneaker my feet have ever been in (it even passes the Reebok DMX 10 of which was the most comfortable sneaker I ever wore… I think those were the only Reeboks that I bought 2 different colorways of) and I look forward to getting another pair .
But which colorway?
There are other sneakers from Nike in the look book including the Lunalite (of which I just HAVE to try) and those free foot sneaker sole designs.
Diggin In The Sneaker Crates: Complex Top Ten….. From 1989????
(ahh yes New Balance.. I remember thee)
August of this year Complex decided to give us something to talk about and that is the top ten sneakers of 1989. Do any of you guys remember what you were doing then?
Just diggin in the sneakr creates… August 10th 2009
Ladies… are you dieing to get your hands on Ballet High Heel shoes?
(do yall really want to go there ladies?)
I’m just bringing this up because it was one of the things I saw that was one things searched for. now granted it was like maybe 10 people, but its still interesting that anybody was asking for it.
They sure do look painful… but somehow they look mad sexy to me at the same time. Maybe just bedroom wear for all the ladies who want to impress their man who has a foot thing I guess lol
“Compulsive Sneaker Disorder” persists in NY despite crisis
wow… Russia wants to know what makes a sneakerhead purchase in a recession
Somebody tell them that sneakerheads are natural leaders and that’s why they do what they do. Sneakerheads will find a way!
Diggin In The Sneaker Crates (shoe edition): Martin Margiela’s New Fall-Winter
Martin Margiela’s New Fall/Winter Line – Luxist
Back in 2008 Luxist posted some info on what Martin Margiela was planning for the fall and winter. Just digging in those sneaker crates (shoe edition)… August 18th 2008
Diggin In The Sneaker Crates (shoe edition): Already Destroyed Steel-Toed Boots by Maison Martin Margiela
Designer Steel-Toed Boots, Already Destroyed – Luxist
This was from Luxist from a while back… like August 24th of 2008 to be exact. The cost of these bad boys is just under 1200 in case you were wondering. Just diggin in those sneaker crates (shoe edition)….
Columbia Bugathermo Hiking Boot… it keeps you warm in the cold with heat
(wow… for 250 bucks you can have warm feet)
This actually seems like the corn-ballyist idea I have ever heard… but I actually like it. The shoe is heated.. with batteries. Depending on the setting the warmth can last for 3 to 8 hours. Not bad.
What’s better is that the batteries are rechargable so there is no constant battery buying needed (not sure what happens when the rechargables stop working though)
You can buy them right now at columbia.com if you wish. Hurry up cause it would seem that they are popular and not all sizes are available.
Would You Buy These Motorcycle Shoes? Alpinestars Octane
(but what about black and red?)
(nice)
To me they actually look pretty good and obviously they are functional for what you will be putting them through…. BUT, is it somehting a rider would buy or whould they just buy a regualr pair of kicks?
If you are a biker, do you wear Alpinestars?

For The Grown and Sexy: UBIQ 2009 Fall/Winter Bo-Ro
(now this is a nice look for the gentlemen)
UBIQ is doing its thing for fall of ’09 for real. All the colorways look really fresh and will be easy to match up to current and new gear. Not sure how long those buttons will last ofter wearing them more than a few weeks but I like the uniqueness of them and would find myself a shoe repair shop if I started loosing buttons if that were to happen.
If you want, you can get it at Atmos… just be sure to translate the page cause it aint in English.
Description example:
The image of BUTTONED-DOWN SHIRT “BO-RO” is designed to見立Teta Shaft collar, lace shoe is part of the original image is made in the neck. Removes Shuresuhoru dare, buttons are used to substitute materials of palm trees. The attention to detail can be seen as a place to adopt and switch the dot-patterned shirt. In addition, the tongue is attached a rubber shoe, remove the cord, and can be worn as a decorated Surippon specifications.
LOL What is “Shuresuhoru”?
Married To The Mob & Teyana Taylor – Fall 2009 Collection
(there is something about MTTM I just like)
(you can NEVER go wrong with Air Jordan Holy Grails)
(ok, ok… you can go wrong with them, but she didn’t)
The fall 1 delivery is slated to drop next week just in time for back to school so keep your eyes peeled on www.mttmnyc.com and Alife stores to cop the gear. Married to the MOB has tapped 18-year-old rapper/singer Teyana Taylor (best known as Pharrell’s protege), to be the face of their fall 2009 “Smells Like Teen Spirit” collection shot by Brooke Nipar at ACE Hotel

Nice.
This news came out a long time ago. Not too long ago (August ’09) but long enough. I guess it could be a “diggin in the sneaker crates” post considering just how long ago but what the hell… I ment to post this but somehow left it on the drafting table.
Anyway, the MTTM look is pretty smooth. It street style that is specifically for the ladies. It underground enough to be different yet easy enough to get and be recognizable by those in the know to flaunt that you know too… does that make sense? That damn psychology class is starting to kick in.
There are more pics on Freshness.com but the ones posted here are my favorite, especially the all black look. The Minnie skirt can be bought here, while the t-shirt can be had over here. Don’t know where the boots came from but hell, find your own hard core boots to match (or get those Timberland high heels… nah that won’t work with this… but if you follow my twitter you would know that I want to see a women in those right now!!! Those boots would make any guys head turn to check out the lady wearing them) bu I guess you can go for these Timbos if push came to shove. Kinda tall, but you wouldn’t need to put on those thigh high socks that she is wearing.
Karmaloop has a little lookbook so when you head over to the Married To The Mob page, you will see a link at the top for the fall lookbook.
(???)
And no… I have NO IDEA what that background pic on the Karmaloop/MTTM page is supposed to be about (and when you scroll down it gets worst lol)… its a little crazy, BUT those kicks the gorilla is wearing is alright.
MASTER Chief Custom Dunks by Daniel Reese
(wow)
This has to be one of the coolest freaking customs I have seen in a while. Once again Daniel Reese has done it again with a pair of kicks that you can purchase as customs. This basically makes your pair special beyond belief. You can get these for 180 euros (don’t have any idea how much that is in dollars… but I am going to guess that it is over $200)
Check out Daniel Reese’s blog for more customs and so forth HERE

So Which Hyperpizer Are You? Just Call Me Velvet Hoop lol
(this is as corn ball as it gets… but it works for me)
Glad I saw the whole video cause seeing it in pieces didn’t work for me when I saw it on TV. I can’t imagine it worked for many other people either because it really seemed like something was missing. Now knowing the whole story, I actually like the idea way more than when i first saw it months ago.
Of which makes me wonder; As the basketball season goes on I wonder if they will continue with they Hyperizer movement or will the whole idea and commercials fade away? I guess we will find out.
Want That Cookie Monster Look? Ask ΜΛΓC VΛΠĐΣΓSΘN About It
(the kids just love it)
(cause they didn’t make a kid version of the Cookie Monsters)
So I was browsing the net looking for what looks cool and I ended up on this site and on Marc’s clothing set called Cookie Monster of Rock of which showed both kicks you see above. I think Marc did a good job at matching up look that matches the sneakers. The look includes a phone, a watch and shades…
That watch is ridiculous…
