Nike… please fix the Nike Boot bubble bursting issue
(POP)
I know most footwear isn’t really meant to last more than 6 months of use, but sheeeesh. I have had literally 5 Nike boots over a 2 year period. They shouldn’t be busting like this. I know I weight 250 pounds but seriously?
Make no mistake, there WILL be a video review of these kicks. I will try to be kind (they are the most comfortable waterproof boot I have ever worn), but going through 5 pair of them in 2 years is just a little too high of a turn over rate.
In NYC these are still a very popular boot. I suspect they still will be for a while, but man oh man, I do wonder if other people are going though the same things I am.

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

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.
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.
Guess Whats Popular In NYC right Now? Polo Tavin Men’s Boot
(this is one popular boot)
I have been seeing this boot quite often during my travels around town. It is an interesting and cool looking boot. Not sure if it will look good on a foot that is bigger than size 11, but I am sure some of the fashion players out their will make it work.
You can pick them up online (and I am sure in a store near you) at Finishline by clicking HERE.

It doesn’t protect the rest of you though lol
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.
Music Mondays: Wale – W.A.L.E.D.A.N.C.E.

(couldn’t wait till next month to start Music Mondays)
Oh this song is going to be on repeat. Wale, I need this album to come out!!! Anyway folks, Music Mondays will officially start next month on May 4th. Just one part of my tv blog viewing line up (it will also help me to remember what I should post and when… cause remember, I got school to contend with… but I am thinking about a break, but I will let you know when that happens lol… I should have just made that a regular sentence LMAO)
Music Mondays on Sneakers and Shoes!!!!
Now in color….
Super Sale: Arturo Chiang “Tamara” Bootie at Macys
(when you want bootie for 80 bucks, go to Macy*s lol)
When you have a shoe that is half price (and looks good), then it is a super sale. This is such an occasion. This 160.00 ladies shoe now costs 80 dollars.
In fact Macy*s got allot of sales going on so you may want to check them out. To me, this is one of the better looking “bootie” on the site.
Soooo that’s what’s Beyonce is wearing… Ballet Boots
(after this photoshoot she must have took some aspirin for her foot pain lol)
(for $118.00 you can have these Women’s Ballet Ankle Boots by Devious)
Good lawd, thanks to comment posters on my previous post on Beyonces Diva multi-single cover, I now know of another way that women can torture their feet. Its called the Ballet Boot or Ballet High Heel. There doesn’t seem to be many major or boutique brands covering this type of footwear (unless I missed it) so I don’t know how far this will go until some more footwear companies of them pick it up.
They are on sale at Candlelight Fashions and a couple of other sites online. Don’t know of any stores that carry them but I sure they are out there.
More Devious Shoes
On Sale: PoloRalph Lauren Ranger at DavidZ
As first seen on Hypebeast, this shoe got some taste, style and I do believe you will get some swagger points for them too. I think its for the grown and sexy as well even though they are defiantly straight boots. What’s the best part of this shoe? The guy on the horse playing polo lol
You can order them now on David Z (site got rediesigned if your a regular shopper there and you don’t recognize the new look).
Wale – Nike Boot (a music video)
I sort of can’t imagine someone making a video just for Nike Boots, but then again they are so freaking comfortable that I can see someone coming up with the idea and being inspired to do it.
I mean those Nike Boots (especially the Goadome) are very comfortable. If you work on your feet all day, then you are getting these boots. Will Nike, one day, make comfortable work boots too?
Timberland, what will be your response?
First saw this on 2 Dope Boyz but you may want to see what people are saying on a more sneaker related site like The Shoe Game.
On Sale: New Scuff Proof Timberland Classic Boots
Can’ scuff this… I’m telling you homeboy, can’t scuff this!
I saw this on Dr Jays.com blog. Something about specially treated leather not allowing anything to scuff it is quite amazing. The price is pretty good too considering that they will be hard to mess up. I would love to buy it just to find out how well it works. If I find someone who gets it, I am going to ask them to review the shoe and to come back and review it again after wearing them for a few months after the first review.
I will admit that I like the “asphalt” look of the shoe. There is nothing more street than asphalt that covers the roads LMAO
Anyway, you can buy them at Dr. Jays.com for $134.99
Nike Air Foamposite Boot Is Next Up For December 08
It comes in 2 colorways to start, who knows how many during the course of the 08 winter
I am not too sure about this one right here. I know that the Nike boot a very popular boot in NYC for winter 07/08 but I don’t know about the foamposite boot will do the trick. They don’t look all that great but I know they are comfortable. I am not sure how much more comfortable adding the foamposite will make them but I will put my foot in them to see. The pair I got now (that are not foamposite mind you) are very comfortable and my feet are very happy about it.
The all black one’s I think will be more popular. As for the blue and black ones, they look cool but I think they will be hard to pas going to work lol
They gonna cost 225 dollars. Yeah, 225 dollars. MO money MO Money MO Money!!!! LMAO
On Sale: Timberland Women’s W Animae 14″ High Heel on Eastbay
Found the Women’s Animae 14″ High Heel on Easybay for $99.99 (a sale price from the original 144.99)
Lets start off this little opinion about the shoe with the: Animae??? LMAO!!! Who decided to call it that? That is very suspect… but other than that this womens boot look real good. Another grown AND sexy look by Timberland who is ever so diligently branching out from boots to casual wear, clothing even watches (but who doesn’t make a watch these days? lol and they said watches were on their way out because of cell phones phfffft).
Not allot of sizes left with these so if your going to get them, then do it. My advise is KNOW YOUR FOOT. If you know you need to try these on before you get them, then don’t do it (at least in this case) because they don’t have many sizes left and all you will end up doing is returning them. Unless you have a personal assistant, all that shopping and returning can be a hassle for the weekend warrior lol
They have another color that I am not to sure about but if you like here is the link to the tan look. Eastbay usually (but not always) has a side area for shoe or sneakers that you “may also like” and there is one that I like and that is the Timberland Women’s W Hallam Heel Angora. Its not sheek, but it is smooth.
Ladies… this is coming from a guy so you can take that with a grain of salt, BUT at the end of the day, who are you trying to empress??? Sooner or later it is a guy (or maybe a girl… nothing wrong with that lol) so maybe you will think about my choices. Feel free to comment please. I do read my comments (I may not respond, but that’s the way it goes sometimes).
Super Sale: Converse All Star Deluxe Athletic Inspired
On Overstock: Converse Deluxe Boot
Original price was 70.00 – Current sale price $34.99
I never seen these sneakers before (or at least I don’t remember seeing them). They look like hi top Converse sneakers but apparently they are “boots”. For the guys who are getting excited about this, please keep in mind that this particular sneaker is for the ladies.I love the color and it shape is pretty cool too. I can’t imagine why they call them boots, but I guess I would have to see them in real life to know why. Too bad there are not many of them left at Overstock.com so if you don’t go now, your not gonna get any.
I wonder if my girl would like this sneaker?
Nice Boots: Mark Nason ‘Capone’ Ankle Boot
Mark Nason ‘Capone’ Ankle Boot – From Nordstrom
Price: $375.99
This is grown AND sexy with a cowboy twist (with a lemon “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” type look). I would love to wear this, but then again I would have to buy a bunch of clothes to go with it just for me to work the shoes.
I just have nothing else to say about this except its a must buy for those who are making that bread (or are married and together they are making that bread lol) cause I don’t see many people buying 400 dollar shoes… now 200 dollar shoes would make more sense (I rather go to Syms, Burlington coat Factory or Barney’s and get the same shoes for 50-100 dollars).
I was talking to my friend today about shoes and she was like “260 dollars is a whole lot of shoe!”. I neglected to tell her that I run a footwear blog and that I spent more than 500 dollars already this year or Jordans and WILL be spending allot more before the year is out on sneakers and shoes (yes I know that is ironic… or something like that). I also didn’t tell her that I think 200 – 300 dollars for high style shoes is normal and that sooner or later you will have a pair in your closet if your into footwear. By the end of next year I would have bought 2 pair of dress shoes and at least one sneaker (I am just so sneakered out from this year that I am sure I won’t be buying sneakers for a while… unless i see something historic or special) and spend around 400 dollars to do it.
OKAY, I’m blabbering… all I’m saying is if you are into footwear and think the shoe makes the outfit (or breaks it) then you will spend 200 – 300 for it.
On Sale: Timberland Men’s Chukka on Eastbay
Timberland Men’s Chukka
Brown Nubuck – Eastbay
Price: 89.99
It is an odd looking thing, but I like it. It will work well with someones grown and sexy clothes in the closet. This would work well with work pants. Here is all the blah blah blah decribing what the shoe does:
From water-satured terrain to mountain tops, the Timberland Chukka Boot will get you where you need to go in style. Made of premium waterproof, full-grain leather, this boot features closed-cell foam insulation, a padded collar and a fiberglass shank. The laces are made with durable Taslan® fibers, and the hardware is rustproof. Comes with a PU lug outsole.
Waterproof is good. I wonder how this would do in the snow (light snow, not the heavy stuff). What the hell s Taslan fibers? I’m telling you, I need a dictionary to keep up with the tech they put into footwerar.
