Diggin in the Sneaker Crates: @RonnieFieg Edition – Cultureshoq x Ronnie Fieg
THE SEBAGO NEXUS PROJECT – CULTURESHOQ X RONNIE FIEG | A CLOSER LOOK
(wow)
Another pair of hot as fire shoes from the man himself. Is it art or is it footwear? And the pictures he take are fantastic!!!
Details from the blog:
For the fourth installment of the Sebago Nexus Project, CultureShoq.com and I present two new styles that I’ve been excited about since we went to Dominican Republic early this year. Priced at $140USD and limited to 48 pairs per style, the DT lug sole comes in a premium crazy horse brown leather with a removable kilt and leather laces, and the DT High is comprised of oily chestnut suede with a removable kilt/tassels. You can purchase these boots tomorrow Friday October 29th at 10am EST at the David Z flagship store as well as online at Davidz.com. Shots by@Sqmunro
Since this went on sale way back in October, I am guessing that they are gone now. Only 48 pairs makes them pretty exclusive and no question these things are works of art.

On Sale: ANDROID HOMME Craft Hi @REVOLVEclothing
(high end… at a cost)
Its Dior Homme not Dior Homie… now where did I get THAT from? Anyway here is a smooth sneaker for the more mature individual who wants something casual, stylish and is still a sneaker.
No it doesn’t have air in it… and I have no idea how comfortable it is but it does look pretty good. At the price it better, at least, be the smoothest leather.

Currently at Revolve Clothing RIGHT HERE (I totally expect to come back to that site to see what see they got).
What If? Twitter X Adidas Originals Superstar | By Gerry Mckay
(not bad… not bad at all)
First seen at Freshness.com, the Twitter x adidas collabo would be a welcome look for those who like to tweet and like kicks (especially adidas classics).
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
These are NOT on sale yet (before people start sending me emails about it) but just an idea created by Gerry McKay (who has also has some other ideas you should check out HERE.)
Nike RT1 High… still some left
(why were people hating on this sneaker?)
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
I think there was a reason why Jay-Z was caught a few times wearing these kicks and that is because they are some good looking sneakers.
The reviews on this sneaker are pretty plentiful and most state how the sneaker is comfortable. It may be a sneaker you wish to check out, even if it came out a while ago. For more info click RIGHT HERE.
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.
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.

Diggin In The sneaker Crates: CLARKS DESERT BOOTS AUCTION FOR CHARITY
Way back when it was 2009, Clarks worked with different designers artist and such to celebrate their 60th anniversary. Look at some of the pictures, they sure came up with some interesting costume Clarks.
As you can imagine, I am particularly fond of the one Anna Heylen designed of which has the high heel shoe painted on the side of the Clarks. Best of both worlds.
Here is some detail on some of the participants:
All participants voluntary customized the Clarks Originals Desert Boot. They are a few of the millions of fans that have collected the laced shoe over it’s 60 years. Best known are probably Bob Dylan and band members of The Beatles, Oasis and Arctic Monkeys. According to illustrator Piet Paris, soon Lilly Allen will walk around in his pair of customized boots. His young edition of the classic shoe is inspired by her. Karen van de Kraats’ design is called ‘ABOUT’. She used the shoes to write all kinds of facts about the desert on them. The Belgian all-round creative Franky Claeys got his inspiration from fata morganas and dazzled the shoe with pieces of mirror. A list of all participants included their inspiration and CV is enclosed with this press release.Source: Sneaker Freaker
Straight heat. Just diggin in those sneaker crates… December 2nd 2009 on Sneaker Freaker.com

(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.
Would You Get These? RICK OWENS – Laceless Side Flap Sneakers for… $1235.00
(you have to ask yourself… is it worth it?)
(and its all for you ladies)
beGrown… beSexy MEN: Nike Air Force 1 High Hiker
(feel like I can really go hiking in these)
You know those SUV’s that really aren’t meant to go off road at all? Well, maybe you could take these hiking and they may ctually do the job… but why in the hell would you take a Buick Enclave or Range Rover into the woods? (your probably wondering how I can say Buick Enclave and Range Rover in the same sentence… lol well, I really like the Enclave)
Make no mistake about it folks, this sneaker is for looking the look without doing the do. And the best part of it all is that you will definaitly look grown and sexy while wearing them. Ladies… geltemen… this sneaker is for you.

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.
Guess what else is on sale today… Air Jordan 16.5 in White, Varsity Red and Black
(this is one freakin fly ass sneaker)
I am not sure if this came out earlier this week or what, but one thing for sure is that it is flying under the radar right now with all the talk about the Air Jordan 12 Rising sun and that other fusion 13 atrosity of a sneaker (yeah… I really don’t like the Air Jordan Fusion 13′s and it would seem the sneakernets agree). This sneaker is really a good look. I think I did see someone wearing them but when I looked for them at the store and online they were nowhere to be found.
I hope I can get these, but it doesn’t look good right now… money is going to other things (GASP) and its hard just to keep the money that I set aside for the Air Joardn 11 Space Jams alone.
If I don’t get the Space Jams, I swear I will just freakin cry for like 3 weeks. Ever see a grown man cry for 3 weeks? (No, neither have I seen that but I can imagine that its terrible)
If you are going to get them, Eastbay got them online right now for $124.99 (which isn’t that bad actually). 3 colorways avaiable including the famous BRED colorway.
PS – Varsity Red VS Infrared
Notice that they used infrared for both colorways that have red in them (whoops! it looks like BRED isn’t as BRED as you may thing because it uses varsity red as part of its make up and so does the other colorway)…. would the BRED colorway have looked better in infrared? Hmmmmmm… The Infrared and Varsity Red battle continues…
Diggin In The Sneaker Crates: Complex Top Ten….. From 1989????
(ahh yes New Balance.. I remember thee)
August of this year Complex decided to give us something to talk about and that is the top ten sneakers of 1989. Do any of you guys remember what you were doing then?
Just diggin in the sneakr creates… August 10th 2009
For The Grown And Sexy: Mary Poppins Open Toe Boot
(if you have to ask the price… well, you know the rest)
On Sale: Cole Haan Zoom Flywire at Zappos
(flywire on a NON-Nike sneaker? what the…)
(close-up of sneakers and yes you can almost see-through it)
Here we go again! Cole Haan has another shoe (amongst many apparently) that have Nike technology in them. I think this is one of a couple of pushes to get what is used in sneakers to be put in shoes (Rockport at one time used Reebok DMX technology). Can you imagine using comfort technology that is usually put into performance sneakers and put them into casual shoes and high heels?
Finally.
The Feet You Wear… no seriously, it actually looks like feet
(why didn’t anybody else think of this? LMAO)
Now this is just crazy! Nothing like adidas “foot you wear” system (of which I also like) and it has some details that just make the sneaker (?) even more interesting:
When you’re scrambling up a rocky bluff or bounding along a riverbank, the last thing you want is gravel and grit seeping into your FiveFingers. The KSO is an all-new design with thin, abrasion-resistant stretch polyamide and breathable stretch mesh that wraps your entire forefoot to “Keep Stuff Out.” A single hook-and-loop closure helps secure the fit. Non-marking Vibram TC1 performance rubber soles are razor-siped for a sure grip.
KSO IS BEST FOR: Light Trekking, Climbing, Canyoneering, Running, Fitness Training, Martial Arts, Yoga, Pilates, Sailing, Boating, Kayaking, Canoeing, Surfing, Flats Fishing, Travel
Materials:
UPPER – abrasion-resistant stretch polyamide fabric & Hypalon® straps
SOLE- Vibram TC-1 performance rubber
FOOTBED- Antimicrobial microfiber*Machine washable. Air dry.

And it just doesn’t stop there.
More Packs To Drain Your Wallet!!! – Air Jordan 2009 – Hall of Fame Pack
(^^^dude… what the hell^^^)
(^^^ a little better, but not by much^^^)
(^^^AJ 1 looks… interesting^^^)
Okay… ummmmm… I love the idea for this project. The pack currently consists of 4 sneakers – the AJ1, AJ 3, AJ 2009, and the Six Rings.
It is sort of obvious why those particular sneakers were chosen. The Six Rings is more obvious, as well as the AJ 1 (first Air Jordan), and the AJ III (if you know some of the Jordan history, you will know that the AJ III almost didn’t happen). But the AJ 2009 seems a little bit of an odd pick. Other than being the last Air Jordan made, I don’t find the connection to the Hall of Fame very light ESPECIALLY since the last Air Jordan doesn’t carry a number after it, it carries the year it came out.
That ends the good news about this pack.
And now the bad news: (more…)
Now These I Want: Nike Air Yeezy in Black-Black and Pink Interior
(these sneakers are just amazing to look at… why are they limited???)
(a little crouded and bulky but still amazing)
When the whole idea of this sneaker came out, I was thinking to myself, yeah right this will work. I sure thought the name Air Yeezy was a crazy name to come up with (for better or worst). After a while the whole concept has grown on me. I am loving the materials, the shape and form, the colors are pretty on point and finally THE SOLES GLOW IN THE DARK. A nice touch to a nice sneaker.
Not too sure about the release of this colorway, but the Zen Grey Air Yeezy’s release this Saturday so if your going to get them, give it a shot then.
Nike ACG + Mowabb = I Want These So Bad
(as seen on Kicks on Fire.com)
I was supposed to slow down in my sneaker purchases this year, but how do I do this with the 1/2 Cents coming out, the possibility of a tribute AJ12 “Flu”, and the possible release of the Space Jam AJ11. Plus there are so many other brands of sneakers brings some sort of heat this year, how do I stay away from them?
And now this? My wallet can’t take much more of this. The retro movement continues…
Are These Fake? Air Jordan 2009 – White Red and Black
They look alright. Sort of a a Holy Grail Air Jordan 6 flavor but with more white…. but is it fake? Even if they are fake, I think the Jordan team would do well adobting some of that colorway. I think a white and red version of the Air Jordan 2009 (without the black or maybe less black) would look good.
FYI
Jordan may pull off the AJ2009 if he gets those colorways right and those materials on point. Let the patent leather go (maybe one pair can get it but the rest, please use something else) and go with rich leather or soft brush leather (like on the black and red AJ14′s).
Olympic Sneakers and Shoes: adiStar Weightlifting
Hope your wallet is ready: 200 Dollars for these.
I’m having a tough time finding out who is wearing what and so forth, but at least I know that somebody is wearing these. For weightlifting shoes, these things look hot. I would get them just to walk around in although I am sure that they are not as cushioned as megabounce.
I have a pair of Nike Shox that I use in the gym when I’m more or less stationary doing lifts and pushes (when I’m running I choose my Air Max 360 Rejuvenation or my adidas Megabounce “Rainbow Brights” (more on that later)). Did I mention that I have not gone to the gym yet even though I paid for the whole year? Did I mention that the year is up and I’m going to pay for the next year and have not planned on when I am going to go?
LMAO
Here is the low down on the adiStar Wightlifting:
adiStar WeightliftingPower from beneath, so you can focus on reaching the top of the podium. These award winning Olympic weightlifting shoes feature an extended TORSION® SYSTEM offering essential midfoot stability, and ClimaCool® keeps your feet cool and comfortable.

You got to love it. The cost? 200 Dollars!!! That is allot of weight lifting for my wallet (and they aint even Eggplant Foamposites!!! lol) If you have the fashion sense and want the optimum in weight lifting ability, you are gonna get what the Olympians are wearing… and that is the end of my commercial.
Nicekicks.com Lookbook: PPG x Pony City Wings Lo FOOTACTION EXCLUSIVE
Pony has hooked up with a company called PPG that has a process that gives cars their shine called Vivaflex and has put in on its shoes (if I am reading what is on the site correctly). It looks like what Jordan has on its Spiz’ike sneakers (I even think Jordan wanted it on its AJ 14′s but the technology wasn’t there) except WAAAYYY more polished.
Just take a look at this detail found on Nikekicks: (more…)
In Sneaker News: The Walking Bike – On Current.com
Sooooooo… does anybody recognize the sneakers and shoes currently posing as wheels on this bike? Good because I don’t! I only see 2 I recognize and the rest are drawing a blank.I do, at least, know the sneaker brands represented… well except for that white and red sneaker at the top of the front “wheel” and the gray sneaker.
If you can name them, the post it in the comments, I’ll edit the post to recognize your supremeness and sneaker savvy. If your wondering where my sneaker savvy is, well I’m new to this game! lol
The original link is here: New Launches.com
And now the video (this thing actually works??? LMAO)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSzzgFb5rkg
I wouldn’t ride the thing to work, but it would seem a great way to get some excirsize. Then again, you could run in one pair of sneakers.
By the way, has anybody noticed that he picked some of the coolest sneakers to become a wheel? Is that an adidas Y-3? And those Air Force One low with the green gum is fresh! I must have missed it when those came out. Here is a closer look at the front wheel: (more…)
Push It To The Limit!!! Air Jordans Taking Over… the cover of XXL
Check out this comment from Nicekicks.com: Why was Rick Ross go shirt-less for this cover shoot? It looks like the air in the AJ9’s is about to blow up. Khaled’s face says it all. He looks scared and puzzled. BTW, he has the Chinese 1’s on.
LOL I haven’t had a featured comment in a while, but that is pretty close to one (hell, I think it is one). Nicekicks says that the countdown Pack 14/9 are back at Finishline. As many stated in the comments, the AJ9 is pretty popular… the 14 not so much. This might be the reason why you can still get this pack while the Countdown Pack 6/17 is nowhere to be found.
This was also a “Check Out My Footwork” post on The Shoe Game.com. While everybody named all the sneakers, no one said a word about what Trina was wearing. I do not know if its part of her new clothing line that is coming out or something she was just wearing. At any rate, it is interesting.
Anyone know what shoe Trina (the only woman in the picture) is wearing????
