Diggin In The Sneaker Crates (shoe edition): Roberto Coin Gold Sneaker

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…

Air Max Penny 1(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

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…

Nike Air Max 2009+ in new colorway

(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.
