On Sale: adidas ORIGINALS – MULTICOLOR Calf High Metro Attitude at LUISAVIAROMA

(I post this because I care…)

Looking for a multicolor Metro with attitude? Then its a done deal cause here it is. Why wait when you can have this for 170 bucks? More info HERE.


One day… Brand Jordan will retro the AJ2009 and this is what it should look like…

(wish it was real)

Brand jordan won’t be coming out with new colorways of the Air Jordan 2009 anytime soon, but if they do, please do the classic colorways like what 1and12 photoshopped right here.

I peeped this from the NikeTalk thread HERE >> Nike Talk> Sneaker Art> ~~~Photoshop Contest 2009 vol.2~~~congrats sthebest!


Under Armour Micro G Fly Mid… Nike look out cause it looks fresh

(awe man this looks good)

Sole Magazine got the shots HERE if you want to see… I just have to say that Under Armour is moving up real quick. Could it be possible that I may get a pair???


beGrown… beSexy MEN: CLOSED – Quilted Calf Suede Sneakers @ LUISAVIAROMA

(for gentlemen only)

Guys get your grown wieght up! You can’t only have sneakers in your closet. there has got to be some freakin shoes up in there, right? What? You don’t have a pair or your last pair only works with a suit? Not to worry, you now can get these and feel good knowing that the brand name you are buying probably has no reconition BUT is still a solid looking casual sneaker (that looks like a shoe)

$342 dollars is the price and you can get them HERE.


On Sale: adidas ORIGINALS – Printed Calf High Metro Attitude

(the details on this sneaker are pretty nice)

As per the usual, there are no details about this pair of kick on the LUISAVIAROMA but a nice search on Google… well actually that didn’t work either lol

Anyway the point is that if you want to be a little original yourself, you may want to hop over to the site HERE and pick up a pair, but it will cost you $227 bucks to do it. While you are there, check out the adidas Originals category HERE. They currently have like 4 pairs of kicks, 3 of them are just different colorways of the ones above.


Huxtable Nike Dunks @ BNYConline now

(wish they didn’t have the white background though…)

I may actually get these. I doubt anyone will get them even though they are a perfect match to the sweater king of the family sitcom. i sort of wish that they had a little LESS whait for the background but I would still feel comfortable in them.

Represent the whole Cosby Show movement and the many things that show did. Lots of history here. For those who feel like this sneaker means something, you can get them HERE at BNYConline.

beGrown… beSexy WOMEN: Cole Haan Air Sandra Bootie

(and the price has been cut!!!)

You can get  these for $165.95 and that is not a bad price considering that these are the only high heels I know of that use technology that sneakers usually use for comfort. These things actually have a Nike Air unit in them for comfort! Think about that ladies when your walking around town in pain in the other heels you purchase just to look hot.

Here are some details:

  • Crafted in dark chocolate suede
  • Coveted comfort in NIKE AIR Technology with maximum support
  • Side zip for easy fit
  • Fully leather lined
  • Fully padded leather sock lining
  • Stained leather sole
  • 4″ stacked leather heel
  • You can purchase them at the Cole Haan website HERE. From what I hear from the ladies, its worth the purchase. They used to be $248, but now they are almost half off.


    On Sale: Augusta – Horse Cordovan Leather Lace-Up at LUISAVIAROMA

    (gently used boots anyone… FOR OVER 2 LARGE???)

    That’s right folks!!! You can get you foot in these boots for a classy price of $2,150 bucks. I just made a post about womens shoes being way more expensive than mens anything and then these things show up in my search for kicks.

    For those who are adventurous, have the money, want to be exclusive and wear pricey stuff, and probably just don’t care if it costs an arm and a leg to put a boot on your feet foot (because you paid with a leg to get them) then this is your shoe right here.

    Want more info? Then head over to Luisaviaroma by clicking HERE.

    (Luisaviaroma doesn’t seem to like to have too much info on is shoes for some reason… maybe because if you going to spend that much, you must know what your getting LOL)


    On Sale: Chloe – Wrap Up Cross Over Sandals

    (ladies, you think you can work this?)

    For the mere price of 735 dollars (again, guys, can you really complain about 200 dollar sneakers and 350 dollar shoes?), you can get your feet in these. Don’t expect to see too many people in these cause that price is in that killer range.

    If you want to find out more, just click HERE. Remember to have your significant other to around to see what you are suggesting they should buy.


    Air Jordan Spiz’ike – Fresh Since ’85 in Fire Red and Black

    (and I never look back since being fresh since ’85)

    This is a definite collectible right here. Reminiscent of the Air Jordan III “Fire Red”, these kicks are a must have for those who want a pair of kick tat represent some real MJ history.

    I don’t plan on getting them (tight budget), but I would if I could. They are still available in stores and online at the NikeStore right HERE


    Nike Snowboarding x Arbito – Zoom Force 1 Boot… because Pharrell likes to snowboard

    (not even on the slopes would I wear these… but they do look nice)

    Sneakernews.com posted this a few weeks ago and I have to say they are pretty good looking BUT there would be no way on Earth that I would wear them. Its just not my style but apparently it fits Pharrell quite nicely because he managed to work it out.

    I am sure even on the slopes, these would look rather tame. I had some loud snow gear in my time and it looked pretty nice in the snow background so I don’t think these look that crazy… in the snow.

    But I still wouldn’t wear them lol WAY too much going on. I would, if I could, add them to my collection and totally admire the artwork on them. Once I have totally appreicated them art wise, I would eventually give it away to charity (or auction it off to charity) because shoes are meant to be worn sooner or later, right?

    No release info. ARBITO website is HERE.

    On Sale: Nike Air Force I Hi Supreme

    (wooooow for real?)

    These are some pretty cool looking kicks. I don’t remember if I saw this on other sneaker blogs or not so I don’t know much about them other than they look nice.

    The usual sizes are left (8-13)  and you can get them at NikeStore right HERE (man… NikeStore got some treasures on that site)


    Nike Half Cent Penny still at NikeStore

    (just wish the green was a little darker… or something)

    Plenty of sizes left of this one for yall. If you want to go for it, the world is yours! The ticket price for your feet is still 190 Bucks and its available at NikeStore right HERE (man, I have been hanging out on that site for a minute now… been seeing allot of cool gear there).

    The “silver surfer” (my nickname for them lol) Penny is also avaiavle in a few sizes.


    LeBron Air Max VII “Christmas Day” Basketball Shoe still available at NikeStore… hurry

    (these are collectibles, no doubt)

    Wasn’t sure myself when I first saw them on Sneakernews last month is they were going to look good, but after seeing them in person, it made me wish I had bough them in my size (I am on a budget now… only gonna get 3 sneaker this year).

    If you want to get them, better hurry because they only have 3 sizes left as of me typing this. You can get it at NikeStore.com right HERE.


    Colorways, colorways, colorways… the Air Jordan 16.5 Team Sneaker

    (soon the whole team will be wearing these… wait a minute…)

    Brand Jordan has a hit on their hands and they know it. The air Jordan 16.5 looks like something any basketball player (or casual wearer for walking around in the streets) can get with. And talk about colorways. The whole team on the floor can wear different colorways and still have a couple left over. I think there are 7 different colorways so far.

    You can pick up the colorway on Finishline if you want them  HERE (they are not on NikeStore for whatever reasons… why even show the picture? lol)


    NIKE X Transformers Sports Label = Old Story but Still Made A Post About It

    (I still want this freakin thing)

    FOR MEGATRON HERE -  -  -  FOR OPTIMUS HERE

    (shout out to TFKENKON.com for pics)


    Nike LunarElite… now shoes think for your feet… what’s next?

    (its gonna be a good year)

    Need a light? Need a light that thinks for your feet? Nike thinks so. Nike made 3 different types of “lunar” for you. This one is the LunarElite (the others are LunarSwift and Lunar Glide). Finishline also has them (but they don’t look the same for some reason).

    NikeStore display for the new kicks is pretty fantastic. I don’t like NikeStore over use of flash but in this case it works really well (in fact Nike has improved its site sometime in the last few months and now uses less flash than before).

    More on this later. Check out the site now by going HERE.


    Flickr Feature: Steve’s Jordan Columbia IV by B. Nguyen

    (kicks in their natural element…. the city subway)

    This is a classic picture. Man, I just love Flickr when I want to look up hot pics. This one is by B. Nguyen and you can click HERE to see this nd more.


    Air Jordan Retro VI HAS RELEASED… and you can still buy them online

    (hmmmm… nice entry page for Jordan releases Nike)

    I didn’t stay up all night trying to buy these so I don’t know if the sites crashed while people were trying to buy it… but since there are so mny sizes left, I am gonna guess that the sites did ok last night.

    If your are still looking for a pair, they still have plenty of sizes at NikeStore.com over HERE. The sneaker has 4 reviews already at the store.


    Nike Kobe ZOOM V iD

    (great idea putting the Kobe V on Nike iD)


    House of Harlow footwear collection… ladies its your time to shine

    (nice profile… now turn it around)

    Ok, ok my bad lol I am a guy you know. Anyway, Nicole Richie is joining the chorus of celebrity kick lines. I am actually impressed so far. Also making a debut is Victoria Beckam. Cost? Who knows… probably will dent your pocket book though. More info HERE


    A Sneaker Raps List… because you know you want to

    (yes it is another list lol)

    Sometime last year someone by the name of Robert of the Radish mad a list of Hip Hop sneaker songs. Want to see if one of your favs mad his list,  just check it out HERE.


    Flickr Feature: IMG_2444 (what a name lol) by amba_fatima

    As seen from the Sneaker Pimps group. Picture by by amba_fatima. Chek the photo out (its large enough for a nice wallpaper if you wish) and other pics HERE.


    On Sale: Air Jordan 2009 Men’s Basketball Shoe

    (love the marble… but where is my “bulls” last shot colorway?)

    You will never guess what is on sale at NikeStore.com??? Ok, you got me. Its the Air Jordan 2009 Men’s Basketball Sneaker. Its not only still on sale, but the price has been almost cut in half. Many on the sneakernets (including myself) put down these kicks. As it stand right now with me, the main reason why I am still upset is because the colorway I would LOVE to see was not released (probably wasn’t even in the cards… only BP of NikeTalk gave me hope)

    Make no mistake though, the sneaker is top tech all the way. I have been in sneaker hibernation for the year so far. It was looking like it would stay that way unless something I really wanted came down the pike (like those re-re-release of the Eggplant Foams coming in March for $200) but I may get these. Can’t hurt at $110 bucks

    If you want them, then head over to NikeStore.com and get them HERE. 2 colorways left but the black and white has the most sizes. If you play ball and they got your size, give them a shot.
