Loving That DSW Commercial… from last year
(first time I saw it so its new to me)
While watching TV with my wonderful Mom, you know like all good sons do in their spare time, I saw this commercial that was man funny and I just had to make a post on it. Like to see it? Here it go:
DSW has a bunch of these type of videos on YouTube and they are pretty funny (the ladies might get the jokes more than the guys though). I thought of doing something like that for this blog… but that would take up WAY too much time. I can’t even get my main website the way I want it LMAO But it would make for a nice show if someone did it.
Never browsed DSW for anything as far as kicks before. It looks pretty decent as far as getting an everyday pair to wear. Not too many sneakers but many shoes and yes slippers. Lots of slippers.
Check them out. I think you will be surprised.. I know I was.
Man, I post the craziest stuff.
beGrown… beSexy WOMEN: Rock & Republic Women’s Gwenyth Sandal
(Mmmmmm… looks really tasty)
The Rock and the Republic did it again… but its expensive! $375 is the admission price for your feet to get in.
Slit Tongue Asics Gel Lyte III in Dark Olive
(hottest look EVAR)
Can’t say more than that I really want this. May even break my budget for this one. You can get it for $95 bucks at Allike RIGHT HERE.
And the split tongue thing just adds to it. I don’t usually have problem with the tongue of sneakers (or shoes) but if I did I would appreciate this idea.
Slipper Time: Stüssy Mukluks
(good look)
Now these look like you can really go outside in. Found this in the mens section even though it seems more unisex/female direction but I don’t think that will stop any of the guys from wearing them.
Would you pay $60 bucks for it? Cause that is how much they cost. I would get them but I am on a budget (really tight one too 
) . If you get it, send a pic. You can get them RIGHT HERE at Allike.com
Is the 2008 Rainbow Attack Back? New Balance 150 Fusion White/Silver/(Rainbow)
(fuuuuuusionnnn HAAAAA)
A fusion that even Dragonball GT fans will like, New Balance has combined the 850 and the 1500 to form the 150 (not sure about the logic they arrived to in order to get the number 150…. 1500 – 850 = 650??? Please help lol)
Oh and you are probably wondering what I mean by Rainbow Attack 2008… well, if you remember, it was a very colorful year when it came to sneakers. Made a post about just a few… A FEW… of the sneaker that were multi-colored.
At least these colors aren’t all over the place.
Pssst… you like Polo??? Here U Go – Walker Classic HighTop
(maaaaad simple kicks for chillin’ in)
While browsing Polo website, I bounced into these pair. For $60 bucks you can have what looks like a pair of Converse’s and another sneaker that I can’t recall right now.
This is for the peoples who want to show what they are wearing while also keeping it simple. And if you wear pants, you can basically stay incognito as far as branding goes.
On Sale: Rock & Republic Women’s Sabra Platform Ankle Boot
(just look at that close up… )
If you like high heels that are more high than the usual high heel and you want a little flare that is not too… flarey… ok, the point is that this is a shoe that can dazzle and also take you to the the nice dinner out on the town.
It got some interesting looks that’s for sure. Get it on Endless RIGHT HERE.
Second Most Popular Boot in NYC: Conquest High Boot
(if you are in NYC, you are seeing these boots)
This right here is THE most popular boot in NYC that is only second to the Nike ACG Boot. The boot isn’t my style at all, but I will definitely agree that it looks good (I just don’t like the whole rubber booty around the bottom).
It comes in a few colorways and also in low top form as well. Can’t say how comfortable they are because I never tried them on, but considering the amount of people wearing them, I am gonna hazard a guess that they are at least tolerable when it comes to comfort
Details:
- Two front zips with leather pull tabs at either side of the tongue for a secure fit. “POLO”-embossed Velcro® front tab closure feeds through a metal ring at one side and overlaps the zipped tongue. Single pull tab at the heel.
- Applied leather panels at the sides with embossed “POLO” at one side. Contrasting pebbled leather at the toe with stitched detail.
- Textured rubber reinforcement at the heel. Inset leather detail with quilted stitching at the top back for a comfortable fit.
- Padded insole. Treaded rubber sole for maximum traction.
- Leather. Imported.

Can’t say much more about the boots… Strangely they don’t say if they are waterproof and with those zippers so low… I don’t know lol
If your in NYC you know about it already. Anybody wearing them in your part of town? You can get them direct from Polo RIGHT HERE (as well as a bunch of other stuff) for a rain boot protecting price of $129
On Sale: Dolce Vita Women’s Lana Sandal
(because all white shoes with zippers should be expensive)
A nice looking shoe for a price that you may not believe but hey, being fashion forward is worth it I guess. After reading one of the comments on the shoe, you may want to watch your step cause these are some high heels.
the Nike KD II is interesting…
(have to admit I love the simplicity)
Its not the best looking kick, nor is it the most popular, but it has something… not sure what. It just belongs on your feet for some reason. I would definitely ball in these, that’s for sure. Get more info HERE about them.
On Sale: Giuseppe ZANOTTI I97096
(hot freakin shoes… to be named I97096)
These are some fly looking high heel shoes. I am totally thinking to myself that the lady wearing these will make the guy take notice.
And that’s all I have to say about that.
beGrown… beSexy WOMEN: DSQUARED2 Ankle Boot What’s Your Name Velvet Oil
(a nice look for the ladies who want Timbo colored heels)
The name of these ankle boots take it to some next level ish… I mean that is one long name right there. I can only imagine a woman coming to the store and asking for these… and then forgetting the name of them.
What’s your name velvet costs $724 bucks (original price was $1,119) and you can get them RIGHT HERE on Zappos

A new arrival at the Allike store, the Supra Skytop II Navy Gold Leather, is the second generation of the famous original Skytop. Not sure if it will be as popular as the original but it does look pretty nice in this colorway.
Details:
Streamlined second generation Skytop on a vulcanized outsole. Distinctive tongue design with 2 pull holes. Wax laces. Heel protection molded into high memory polyurethane sockliner. Exclusive Supra- Foam® midsole providing entire foot impact resistance, optimal shoe flex, and board feel. Internal neoprene sleeve for unmatched comfort, fit and performance

You can get them at the not so pricey price of $139.99 RIGHT HERE. Get them and show up your skating buddies… 
Reebok Easy Tone keeps on growing and toning that a**
(and yes guys, there is an EasyTone for you too)
Reebok EasyTone seems to be a big winner for them. It’s not the first time that Reebok has used womens fitness to get the edge up on the competition (Reebok Freestyle anyone???). Now it has more colorways AND there is a running version and a flip flop version as well…. flip flops people, seriously? LMAO
Thankfully the flip flops are not as pricey as the full sneaker but thats not the point. the point is that this thing just keeps on getting bigger (all the while you butt gets smaller and more toned).
Does it work? I have no idea. I know a couple of people who got them and they like it but I have no idea if their butts are better for it. I guess I will ave to investigate LOL
See the Reebok family of EasyTone kicks RIGHT HERE, including the Flip Flop RIGHT HERE.
On Sale: See by Chloe – SB13041
(ok seriously another shoe with a alphanumeric name?
This is one of those sneaker shoe type things for the ladies to love… that is if they love it. For a little over 200 dollars (available at Zappos Culture RIGHT HERE) you can get these boot like sneaker/shoes that also have a special feature of being rolled down.
Only 2 sizes left on Zappos so if your gonna do it then do it now. Get it HERE
On Sale: L.A.M.B. Zarina by Gwen Stefani
(I’m thinking that Timberland is scared)
Introducing the shoe that you can wear in light snow… well, its not waterproof (I don’t think suede is waterproof… and since this is a peep toe shoe, I’m gonna guess the snow will get through) but it sure links up to the ever present Timbo footprint that you can see in urban culture.
This shoe has allot of details that I think the female shoe collector will like and yet it not too busy (so you can wear them to the banquet and the trendy night spot).
Plus, I am sure the fellas in your life will appreciate the Tjimbo connection with the soles.
You can get them RIGHT HERE if you want them and the price is reasonable for 142 (well… reasonable compared to the prices of other womens high heels)
On Sale: Burberry Check Embossed Bark Leather Ankle Boot
(umm hmmm… bet most guys wouldn’t recognize these)
Sure its from last season but fly stuff never goes out of style. It is mostly one color using different tones and materials to make the shoe pop but don’t let that stop you ladies from picking them up.
Not allot of details on the shoe other than the usual suspects… heel height (3.5″), where its made (Italy), and the shoe’s weight… I know better than to talk about weight.
If you interested in these, you can get them RIGHT HERE at Zappos.com for $517 USD
Diggin In The Sneaker Crates: Gourmet L’otto
(guess what’s on sale yall?)
Many moons ago the pictures of these kicks came out. Now guess what? They are on sale. Instead of 249 Euros, they are now 129 Euros… whatever that is in USD… either way its for less.
You can get them at the ALLike online store HERE and it would seem that they’re are plenty of sizes left to get your grown and sexy look on.
Original post was on SneakerFreaker via Individual Sole back on July 12 of 2009… just diggin in those sneaker crates…
beGrown… beSexy MEN: UBIQ 2009 Fall-Winter Bo-Ro
(so what this is old news!!!)
Yes this is probably something you have already seen if you visit the Fab Four of sneaker sites (Nicekicks, SneakerNews, TheShoeGame and KicksOnFire) but I just wanted to give it some new shine. I am sure the grown men appreciate it cause its hard to get your grown look on and still wear sneakers. Luckily UBIQ come up with a solution.
This came in 4 different colorways way back when… it still seems to be available at atmos right HERE. Originally seen on Hypebeast via Nicekicks… yeah, diggin in those sneaker crates AND being grown and sexy all at the same time lol
beGrown… beSexy WOMEN: Proenza Schouler OI9706
(who names a shoe OI9706???)
This is an unbelievably good looking shoe. It also comes in another colorway (see below) that is just as awesome as the original.
Now the price… $1,36o dollars… but your in luck because they are on sale at Endless RIGHT HERE and you can get 35% off for a grand total of $886.76
Nike ACG Woodside looks like a VERY popular boot in NYC right now
(well now these boots look familiar)
Should have posted this when I saw it originally in ’09. There is a boot in NYC that is the most popular boot that is only second to the Nike Boots and it is made by Polo (of all people) and when I saw this on NikeStore website I thought to myself that the saw the trend and came up with these.
I have no idea who is really first due to the fact that it takes time for a footwear design to make it out the door but it does look bad when one comes out first and then someone else seemingly comes out with something simulair.
Anyway, if you want the Nike Woodside (for whatever reason) you can get them HERE at Footlocker.
On Sale: adidas Y-3 By Yohji Yamamoto Sprint Classic
(how can you NOT want these kicks? the price maybe? lol)
I love to see some smooth looking sneakers. You know the type; the ones that can pass as shoes and/or are so incredibly laid back that you forget they are sneakers.
I am not exactly sure what part of these sneaker represents “sprint” though… and I totally do not believe anyone will be running any type of foot race in these sneakers. Looking at the description for the sneakers also does not point to any racing, nevertheless these are a pair of kick you should want in your lineup.
You can get them HERE at Zappos for $244 bucks. That’s allot of dollars – only for the grown lol
Remember This – Nike Zoom T-Bug Flight
(don’t think they will retro these for some reason)
This sneaker may bring back memories (it doesn’t for me) for some of those who watched the game of basketball back in the day. According to the magazine this pic was scanned out of Kicks Magazine, these were worn by non other than Tim Hardaway.
You know what I wonder? I wonder if these “fingers” actually worked. They look like they should but I don’t know… anyway, I like the white and grey one the most (in the upper left).
Can’t see them retro’ing these pair though but what I can imagine is that they make some sort of Tim Hardaway “Air-Max-Allot” hybrid or fusion. If they do that I can’t imagine how the “fingers” will fit into the hybrid though but they would just HAVE to be in there
The Legend of MJ… scanned
(I wonder how this ends up… lol)
Slam Magazine special on Micheal Jordan issued many moons ago. Nothing more for me to say right now other than that.
Does it mean that I have a problem if the first thing I did was look at his footwear? LMAO
