Air Attack 24-7… now with faux horse hair

Is this sneaker a collectible? It sure is. Might not be the collectible most think of but it is very much something you may want in your climate controlled sneaker closet.

All part of the ever expanding Nike Air Attack of which is seemingly trying to bring back the better parts of 2007-08 color craziness. Remember that? It was bananas… like literally bright yellow banana colors all over the place lol

You can get them RIGHT HERE along with other parts of the Air Attack Pack at NikeStore.com

Fake horse hair… all for you (it actually looks pretty smooth in person), and plenty of air. I am sure, as people are finding out all over NYC, that the Air Max 2009 is a sneaker worth paying $160 for.


Nike iD for Air Max 95… my vision

(I like this!)

Made this a week or so ago… well I didn’t buy it, but I put in work to make the colorway on Nike’s iD website. I was trying to go for that army look and to make the ladies happy (and I guess a few guys), I added a little pink to it in all the right places.

This would work great for those women (and I guess a few guys LOL) who like the PINK sweatsuits, this would be a perfect match.

The price for a colorway that is original to your tastes will set you back about $160 USD not including shipping and any taxes you may have to pay. You can get it RIGHT HERE.

Just don’t be surprised that someone tell you that you are wearing fakes… just point out where you got them from before you either start to cry or punch them in the mouth.


Nike Air Attack 24/7… can anybody stop the Air Attack?

(one of the better looking of the Air Attack Pack)

You know someone… hint hint… should do a special on ALL of the Air Attack. In fact someone should try to interview these guys on how they came up with this idea, the materials and the colorways.

Who’s gonna stand up and do this? (I maybe too busy… LOL)

Personally I like the 27/7 more than the others but I could go for the other sneaker styles.

ROBERTO CAVALLI – Wooden Heel Napper Wedges – LUISAVIAROMA

(if you can work them, go for it)

Real nice. Not sure how the ladies will work these things considering that the heel isn’t in the normal place, but these shoes are a most have.

You can get these RIGHT HERE if you want them.


CHRISSIE MORRIS – Thong Sandals at Luisaviaroma

(now this is a shoe)

Yes, yes, yes… you probably seen these already a while ago if your into high fashion heels, but for those who never seen them, here you go.

You can find them RIGHT HERE if you want to check them out for more info. Those who are shy about paying allot of money for footwear may be in for a shock though.


I Still Like My Air Jordan Six Rings… just can’t bring myself to wearing them

(think I may give these away… anybody wear a size 12?)

And speaking of stuff that I didn’t totally wear… I am having a sort of re-opening of my site. The fireworks begin somewhere around Wednesday night, but most of you probably won’t see it all until Thursday. I am looking forward to it.


H Williams Spring 2010

(a very interesting look to say the least)

Yeah I read this over a month ago but I wanted to still post about it so here it is. First heard of it on Running With Heels. At first I wasn’t too impressed but then I went over to H Williams site and had to change my mind.

Some really nice stuff going on over there. For more on H. Williams (who needs a first name?) head over HERE.

beGrown… beSexy WOMEN: Rock & Republic Women’s Jolene Open Toe Zip Shoe

(nice shoe but what to wear, what to wear)

Another Rock & Republic shoe (ummmm… did yall know R&R is is having some financial problems right?) to hit my lowly blog. Can’t help but to like it even though I am not too sure about the 2 colorways avaiable.

You can get them HERE if you want them on Endless.


beGrown… beSexy WOMEN: Velvet Angels Women’s Ferox Slip On Ankle Boot

(so much gold, you could buy other shoes with it)

Ok here are some of the details (and a description too):

Moto-minded and on the hunt, the Ferox from Velvet Angels works the room brilliantly. Edgy chain-links circle an audacious open vamp, while a fabulous croco-embossed finish shines day or night. A spiky heel and mod platform will do wonders with denim, frocks, and leggings.

  • Shaft height measures approximately 5 1/2″ from arch
  • Boot opening measures approximately 11″ around
  • Heel measures approximately 4 1/2″
  • Platform measures approximately 1″

Source: Endless.com

This is one fine ass shoe right here. You can’t tell me that you will not impress the entire room with these. WARNING: do not walk in these and go into public transportation cause… seriously almost every eye will be on you.

Seriously… I was on the train and these 2 women came on and I was like DAAAAAAAAAMNNNNnnnn they hot (the shoes that is lol). Half the train car was looking, or trying not to look of which was obvious, and they tried to carry on with their conversation… while dudes were all in their business trying to figure out what to say to them.

ANYway, just give them a shot and bring taxi money when you wear them. You can get them HERE at endless


beGrown… beSexy WOMEN: Rock & Republic – Sabra Platform Ankle Boot

(smooooooooooooth)

If you are wearing these shoes, it is going to be very easy to take over the room. Of course I suspect you will be wearing clothes as well so make sure it works with the shoes (but what doesn’t go with deep brown?)

From the pictures it looks like a 4.5 inch heel with a 1 inch platform but its hard to tell and the description doesn’t say.  The one reviewer warns of this shoe running a half size too small so you may want to try it on if you can.

The shoe is currently on sale at Endless RIGHT HERE for $199


LANVIN – Metallic Print + Suede HIGH Trainer at LUISAVIAROMA

(only the stars will know what your wearing)

No need to put a big ole LANVIN on these because those who know will know. They will also know that you probably paid a grip for some kicks but you won’t mind as you run down the street being chased by people who want to rob you… then again if they know who made these sneakers, they probably either read a whole bunch of sneaker blogs OR they are rich too.

But no guareentees on people not chasing you… at least for your autograph

Ok, enough of that, now for the nitty gritty. the price is $693 and the sizes a limited (at least in this online store). No details on what materials made this fine sneaker  other than suede, some leather and metallic print. You would think for that price they would at least tell you exactly where the leather came from or what type but maybe I’m being too picky.

If you want them, get them RIGHT HERE and be sure to send me a pic of you wearing them.


The Cole Haan Air Devyn Rainboot

(yuk)

These do not look pretty at all to me but for some reason I see MAAAAADDDD women wearing these type of boots. So if you are goning to wear them, why not get Nike Air technology in them? I keep hearing that Cole Haan are some very comfortable shoes (especially for woemn who want to wear those high heels)  so for those who want to wear big rubber boots this should be a no brainer.

On top of this the price has been marked down to $89.99 and you can get it at the Cole Haan website RIGHT HERE.

Yes, they are waterproof LOL

Details:

Extra dry style: our playful pairing of rubber waterproof protection and signature chic to keep the elements out and comfort in, decorated with Cole Haan black patent logo ornament.

    beGrown… beSexy WOMEN: Pelle Moda Women’s Tammi Platform Ankle Boot

    (you better like triangles if you want this)

    Now this is a shoe that the ladies can get into without killing them with the price. For $123 – 144 bucks, you can get these on your feet. Ladies, you WILL get attention from the guys if you have these on. I know for a fact that you will get looks.

    Details:

    Pelle Moda’s Tammi boot is the perfect blend of sophistication and seduction. Its rich suede upper is accented with angular cutouts and decorative laces, while a sleek platform and heel add head-turning height. A foam-cushioned forefoot and back zip make it as easy to wear as it is breathtaking.

    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.

    Anyway, get these at Allike.com right HERE for $89.99


    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.

    You want it? Get it direct from Polo 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.

    Get them HERE at Endless.


    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.

    You can get them HERE at Zappos for $525
