HEY… you a Boxer? You Like adidas Originals? Here you go… LACE BOXING BOOT SNEAKERS
(yes, this is a mens boot)
So you are a boxer you say? FANTABULOUS because I have a boot by ORIGINALS from adidas that will knock you off your feet (especially when you realize you will pay 300+ dollars for it).
Now that is a boot. They don’t come out until March of 2010 so you have a few weeks more to save up to be truly original. Not sure about the flowery details for a guy shoe/boot/sneaker (whatever the hell this is) but I think a guy can rock this if his fashion balls are big enough.
Of course you can get them at my favorite site to look for the most interesting footwear HERE at luisaviaroma.com for $303 dollars. THEY DON’T COME OUT TILL MARCH 2010 so start saving if you want them.

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.

OG Air Carnivore… in puple and black??? No way!
(ok seriously… is this the real deal?)
Ok you guys, listen up cause I got a problem right now. I have a pair of these original release Air Carnivores but here is the problem… there are no pictures of the Air Carnivore in this colorway ANYWHERE online.
Yup. If you are looking at these kicks right now, then it is the first time you have seen it in this colorway since its release.
But here is the problem… and some of yall might be mad at me for even asking but here it goes; are these real or fake?
Got them from a franchise store (not sure if it was Footlocker, Dr Jays, or what…) and they have all the tags and junk but the fact that there are no pictures of these in this colorway NOR does anyone even MENTION this colorway in any of the Air Carnivore posts… man its got me thinking twice, no thrice, about these kicks being real.
Hands down though, this is the best freakin colorway of the original 3 that were made. More pics coming up and will be featured on the main site.
On Sale: Reebok Women’s Freestyle Hi
(and just when I thought the Freestyle’s were replaced with the EastyTone)
I must have caught on to this late because I think I read about this relase on Nicekicks or something. Anyway, I know PLENTY of ladies who wore the Freestyle. If I remember correctly, the Freestyle helped put Reebok on the map against Nike back in the day. I wonder if they are doing the same thing with the EastTone? (same thing for sketchers and its Shape-Ups)
Either way, Reebok and Finishline still has plenty of colorways of the Freestyle. And the colorways sound like flavors… Pastry anyone… so be sure to get your favorite “flavor” of sneaker for your feet.
The Freestyle is currently on sale in a big way on Finishline for less than $30 bucks. Its a win-win situation so lets go people. Click HERE for more info.
On Sale: New Balance 993 Men’s Running Shoe at Finishline
(probably the best colorway of the 993)
If you are into New Balance then you are in luck. The New Balance 993 are on sale at finishline and they put in a price cut to boot. Now you can get them for under 100 bucks. Only 3 sizes left as of today so if they got you size and you want this colorway then go for it. They got other colorways with more sizes like this one or you can pick one of those classic New Balance colorways (but it will cost you).

Infrared Vs. Varsity Red = Which Is The True Classic AJ6
And just when you thought you could shout to the heavens above that the Air Jordan VI in the Bulls colorway was going to be released, they give us shocking news: the AJ VI will not be infrared but varsity red.
“So what?”, says some… “dude, what the hell?”, says others… Make no mistake though, according to those who have picked up the pair of kicks early, varsity red is brighter than infrared.
Expect a full report on what was said by the sneakernets, any videos, and lots of opinions and pics when the sneaker is about to release.
There is a video out from SneakGeekz so take a look
Nike Air Flight Huarache…. an ugly sandal or a history making basketball sneaker?

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.
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”?
Super Sale: Guess What’s On Sale? Air Force 1 Mid “barkley pack”
(I remember a time when I wanted this sneaker SOOO bad)
If i am not mistaken, when this sneaker originally came out it cost somewher north of 150 bucks. One thing is for sure, it didn’t cost $65 dollars. Keep in mind that I never shopped at Lacelocked before but from what I hear from other sneaker blogs, its an ok place to buy stuff from and they are not fakes.
Again, I never bought anything from them as of yet, but if you want to give them a try, then take a shot. I wouldn’t mention LaceLocked if they didn’t show up on other accredited sneaker blogs.
I will say thing about buying sneakers (or shoes) online from places that you may not have heard of before you because a sneaker (or shoe) collector, when I shop at these places to test them out, I use a special card just for those places. if everything is on the up and up, them maybe I will use my regular card 9or my main PayPal account).

KICKS Issue 12…. YEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!
(ITS ON NOW B******CHS)
(lol)
You know what guys… Slam’s KICKS Magazine has been around for a while. Its been around so long that when I was in school and wanted to design a website for KICKS as a class project this is what I came up with:
(for 1999 this is pretty good if I say so myself)
(the “I” in Team… who else would come up with that other than me? LMAO
Guess when I did that? Back in 1999 in collage college. Damn, that was a decade ago (why am I showing my age??? lol).
… and hey… Slam Magazine KICKS… don’t get any ideas, this is copyrighted LOL

Space Jams Releasing… in December?
You know I just love reading comments and seeing videos from people who love (or no love) what they get. Nightwing2303 gave us a look at a pair of sneakers he purchased from VMV Inc online. It is a good video of the sneaker if you wanted even more views of them.
Nightwing2303 did a follow up comment on The Shoe Game:
Sorry about my lack of enthusiasm lol! That is what I sound like when I am excited… Im just real laid back. If I saw MJ himself in the flesh, on the inside I would be acting like an Nsync fan who just had Timberlake’s sweat drip on their shirt but on the outside I stay fairly reserved. I was excited however but also slightly disappointed the more I had inspected them. There are quite a few things that didnt sit right with me, the warped ankle area was just the most obvious. There were glue marks on the patent area, the leather on the heal had been put on a little sloppy AND the side panel of one of the shoes already had a fat crease on the patent leather?!?! How do you crease the SIDE of the damn shoe? Anyways, I am happy I got them since I had spent all my hard earned savings for the concords back in ‘01 (I was in high school so I was broke) so I missed the Jams… and I still “miss” them now like someone else said on here, they arent really space jam XIs they are retro XIs in a black varsity royal and white makeup. But F-it I just love shoes.
So that’s that.
I was going to get 2 pair of these Space Jams but I agree that quality is down with JB. Now its true that not every sneaker is going to be made perfectly (they must make thousands of these so a pair or 2 will be messed up), I do think there is a consistent quality (or lack thereof) that has been going on with Jordans (retros specifically).
Space Jams releasing in December?
I hoe to see a confirmation of this. Otherwise I think they are coming out on Black Friday in November. But Nike has surprised us in the past (black on black Half Cent Penny’s anyone?) so i guess its a wait and see.

For The Grown and Sexy: Stussy Deluxe x Dr. Martens – Desert Boots
(don’t think I will go in the dessert with these LMAO)
Smoooooooooooooooooth!!! You won’t see me in Iraq in them (and you won’t see me in Iraq period), but its no question that they are smooth. If you want to up your look and show that special lady that you can also get down with going to the 40/40 Club.
Quote from FreshnessMag about shoe:
That pairing of talents and interests appears once again as Stussy partnered with Dr. Martens in designing the Desert Boots for Stussy Deluxe 2009 Fall Collection. Made from supple premium suede, each boot feature a crepe outsole with Dr. Maertens’ ingenious creation, the Air Wair cushioning system. The boot is then outfitted with piping, heel tab and laces in contrast colors – purple for black, green for brown.
Yes it is avalaible and yest if you are an adult (or inspire to be one) you may want to give this shoe a possibility.
The Sneakerwebs Agrees: Vans Vault Del Barco Chukka
(so when do they come out?)
According to Nicekicks, the sneaker releases sometime this fall or winter. For something not made from Nike or Jordan getting more than 8 comments on any of the popular sneaker sites means that something is happening that people are reacting to.
I will admit even bad reactions like for the Air Jordan Fusion 13 still shows that people care…. now if no one comments (or its less than 8 like these sneakers) and its on a sneaker blog that usually gets many comments… bad news for you.
Ok, ok, my rule isn’t totally fool proof, but you get the picture.
Luckily Vans gets mostly positive feedback on these kicks. It is a pair you should think about getting if you want to have something on the adult/mature end
I Love ACG and Sneaker Freaker Did A Special On It
(I love me some ACG’s… ok, ok, not all of them lol)
Sneaker Freaker has a special on ACG, where the idea come from, and other such info that I am sure ACG fans would want to know.
I bought 2 Air Mowabbs myself (different colorways and yes I got the purple and dark brown one) and I have plenty of those Nike ACG boots.
Here is a quote from part one:
For gear that was designed solely for the outdoors, you’d think ACG would look suspiciously antisocial in the urban environment, but that’s never been the case. The consistent hallmark of all Nike shoe design is performance, but they also generally look good in any application and ACG just might be the pinnacle of this dual achievement. Lightweight sneakers for the outdoors that are versatile has been the ethos, but there is no doubting the freedom the designers have had to push the limit.
And now one from part two:
Sneaker Freaker: When an anniversary’s on there’s a tendency to bring out all the retro hits… it seems like you’re going to resist that temptation?
Stewart Horner:
We have resisted it as much as possible and tried to not do the obvious. ACG has always been about breaking away from the norm a little bit. Even in our own world we try and do things a
little bit differently to the bigger Nike brand. There will be some NSW releases of ACG, particularly the Magma and we are using the Mowabb for example, but more from a colour perspective. Overall though, you can still definitely see the vintage flavour in the new stuff.
Its a must read. And you have to see some of the kicks that they came up with. That flywire boot is no joke.
