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
beGrown… beSexy MEN: CLOSED – Quilted Calf Suede Sneakers @ LUISAVIAROMA
(for gentlemen only)
Guys get your grown wieght up! You can’t only have sneakers in your closet. there has got to be some freakin shoes up in there, right? What? You don’t have a pair or your last pair only works with a suit? Not to worry, you now can get these and feel good knowing that the brand name you are buying probably has no reconition BUT is still a solid looking casual sneaker (that looks like a shoe)
$342 dollars is the price and you can get them HERE.
beGrown… beSexy WOMEN: Cole Haan Air Sandra Bootie
(and the price has been cut!!!)
You can get these for $165.95 and that is not a bad price considering that these are the only high heels I know of that use technology that sneakers usually use for comfort. These things actually have a Nike Air unit in them for comfort! Think about that ladies when your walking around town in pain in the other heels you purchase just to look hot.
Here are some details:
Crafted in dark chocolate suede Coveted comfort in NIKE AIR Technology with maximum support Side zip for easy fit Fully leather lined Fully padded leather sock lining Stained leather sole 4″ stacked leather heel
You can purchase them at the Cole Haan website HERE. From what I hear from the ladies, its worth the purchase. They used to be $248, but now they are almost half off.
On Sale: Alegra Air Sandal at Cole Haan
(and speaking of having Nike Air in a high heel shoe…)
I have known about Cole Haan since last year around May of 2009. even since then I have been following them and asking the ladies on Twitter and elsewhere on the inter-shoe-nets about it and its always been positive. Comfort in a pair of kicks that are for formal events, work and so forth just are hard to come by. Luckily some companies are realizing that adults who work also want footwear that is comfortable.
So now we have air technology in heels.
Make no mistake, if you see these somewhere you should at least give them a shot and try them on. Walk in them for a bit and see if you like. If you already know you like them, you can buy them on the Cole Haan website (or Zappos) right HERE.
On Sale: PUMA – Sergio Rossi now at LUISAVIAROMA
(yeah I know it came out a while ago lol)
You want a sneaker that is also a shoe? A high heel shoe that doesn’t look like a reject from the Air Jordan design team like THIS? Well, at least Puma is addressing your desires (and Cole Haan is too… I hear they are some very comfortable high heel shoes).
For a simple price of $756 dollars PAUSE… you can get your hands (feet) on these. Make no mistake, you will look good AND you will probably be the only person wearing them because the price of admission is rather high.
On sale right now at Luis Aviaroma (click HERE)
Timberland Moutian Athletics… watch out for the bear chasing you
(just wondering if anybody would cop these)
Was gonna post this a looooooong time ago but just plain forgot. Have to admit that SOME of the sneakers… or should I say trail shoes… look pretty nice. Lets face it, if you are running the train you are not thinking about “ohhh my new kicks just got mud and they got sliced by some rocks and a tree branch”
In case you are into this kinda stuff, or just want something more essential than visual, take a look at the timberland site (that many celebs seem to like and is a staple for rappers, even the ones who are off that lol)
Click HERE for the crazy site they made to introduce the sneakers/shoes. You may want to turn down your sound, because i didn’t and was rudely surprised by “don’t give up” and bear growls (the site is also is interactive and if you don’t move your mouse…. WATCH OUT lol
And YES they HAVE AN APP for that… why I don’t know.
beGrown… beSexy WOMEN: Nicholas Kirkwood Suede Peep Toe Shoe Boot
(its a nice look ladies)
Currently on sale at Browns. You can get there by clicking HERE. Prices are in Euros so don’t get mad when the exchange rate doesn’t work in your favor.
On Sale: Cole Haan Air Caprice Strap at Zappos
(a high heel that is ACTUALLY comfortable?)
(all yours for$ 201USD)
I have been wondering for a while since I decided to cover sneakers and shoes culture and products, why don’t high heels have technology like adidas or Nike when it comes to cushioned support?
Why do the ladies have to buy something from Doctor Scholls or Rite-Aid brand cushions or whatever else is out there to protect your feet? Why not have air or some special zoom tech to cushion the female foot in these 6 inch monsters?
Looking at many of the more expensive shoes for women, they almost never talk about comfort or any technology that makes them a little bit more comfortable.
Then Cole Haan steps into the high heel debate and gives the ladies something more comfortable.
Here are the details from Zappos:
- Get stand-out style from these amazing wedges.
- Patent leather, metallic leather or combination snake-embossed leather and canvas upper.
- Leather lining.
- Padded footbed.
- NIKE AIR Technology in the heel and forefoot for added comfort.
- 3/4″ platform with stitch detailing.
- Textured rubber sole.
I have heard from a couple of people on Twitter that these are pretty comfortable. The reviews on Zappos are not very telling but for the 4 who did review it, out of 5 stars they get 4.
Sizes 5 – 11 in womens are still available and will drain your wallet at around 201 USD.
If you bought these and like them (or don’t like them) please comment.
adidas SLVR Collection is pretty interesting
(do you think you can work this look?)
This is an interesting looking sneaker/shoe/high heel for the ladies. Its sort of a big mix of all 3 and I am not sure if it does it well (probably need to see it in person), but it sure is a looker and you WILL get attention to your feet wearing them; no question. I think the lady wearing these will do well to get something to match for sure. This is one high heeled sneaker that DEMANDS you to dress for them and not the otherway around.
Here is a quote from Sneaker Freaker about this sneaker and the collection:
Launched early this year with a tagline boast of being ‘Simply Perfect’, this new range from adidas is a cocky start to a whole new ballgame. Whilst SLVR appears to be a high fashion concept, adidas PR describes it as ‘affordable, attainable and ultimately wearable’ which, given prices for the footwear are all under €130, seems fair enough. Perhaps the most interesting SLVR footwear innovation is what the shoes don’t have. Like the deadpan Stan Smiths of yesteryear, the range has no adidas branding, no trefoil and zero stripes. The only indication of a maker’s mark are three horizontal bars. There’s also tote bags, socks and a line of classically basic clothing that
has a slight sport tinge to it, and even SLVR flip flops.
Tote bags, flip flops, low cost aka affordable (well lower cost than high end 200+ dollar sneakers) and only those in the know will actually know your footwear is from adidas.

Ladies, ladies, ladies…. please, I am just trying to help lol Allot of my picks are just on a design and sex-iness point of view from what a guy would like to see who just happens to be into footwear. if you don’t know, sneakerheads tend to be leaders (now where did I read that???) and if that’s what you want, you got to get your shoe game up. I think this may help just a little.
No sure if this is a collectable though… so I will leave that alone

La La Loves Her Shoes
Ok ladies, I have been ignoring your shoes for too long. Mad stuff has come out already but I didn’t say a word. Hopefully that will change in the next week. But to hold you over I do have some shoe news for the ladies. La La is a Twitter fiend! She posts on more stuff than you probably want to know. While I was looking for this Pink Range Rover she wanted to sell on eBay on her TwitPic profile, I cam across these pics of her shoes. (more…)

Its 155 dollars at Zappos.
On Sale: 3:33 Grey Leather Floppy
As seen on Selectism (a HighSnob blog). What we have here is a shoe that is also a floppy. If the midsole was any thinner, you would be walking directly on the ground. I can’t imagine how comfortable these are but if you are just chillin with friends or at the lounge, you are not on your feet too much so how much walking around will you be doing anyway?
Get ready to spend over 200 dollars for it. And no i never heard of 3:33 before but I will be watching then from now on.
Many thanks to Selectism.com

Oh good lawd! Puma is looking at this and thinking “What’s next? DUB and TIS coming up with a line of sneakers and casual shoes?”
Well, Puma, it looks like more and more sneaker companies, car companies and now rim and tire companies see a market in making driving shoes. Heck, if I can start a blog that hi-lites what I think is cool in sneakers and car rims, then someone else can think to themselves that there is a market for drivers boots, sneakers and shoes.
Autoblog posted the press release for the new sneaker line. At prices of 75 to 150 they are obtainable. Plus, they do look good. They are on the grown AND sexy level albeit at the beginners level. I LOVE the tread idea and the overall design is cool as well. The post got 43 Comments for this subject. You just got to red some of those comments… funny.
I’ll buy 3 Pair: 2009 Cadillac Escalade Platinum
Bling Maximuim: 2009 Cadillac Escalade Platinum – Autoblog
If you buy sneakers by the parcel then you probably can afford this (even though no price have been given). This special Escalade with its special grill that looks allot like the new CTS will be a nice touch when you step out the suv with your band new Air Jordan 23′s.
I think its ok, but much like a good suit or an outfit, if you got bad looking shoes on, then it just doesn’t work. I have to say I just do not like those shoes on this Escalade.
I just don’t like the look at all.
If you are going to put the CTS front on, then put the sides on too. And with all of that done, you GOT TO PUT BETTER SHOES ON THAT WHIP!!! Hell, leave the SUV the way it looks right now and put better rims on it. You can change the whole look of your car just by doing it and everyone knows it. Right now it looks sporty/racing… why? Either you want classy or you want racing when it comes to this type of look.
Details:
It’s powered by the standard-issue 403 horsepower 6.2L V8 and gets the deluxe treatment both inside and out. For an as-yet-undisclosed premium over the regular ‘Slade, the Platinum is equipped with exclusive 22-inch wheels, magnetic ride control, LED headlamps, and a new grille that borrows its style from the CTS. The big whip’s passenger cabin gets the cut & sew full-leather once-over on the IP, center console and door panels. Oh, and the cupholders are heated and cooled, too. The seats in the Platinum’s first two rows are upgraded to aniline leather with contrast-color French stitching on the seams, and the headrests in the front two get fitted with LCD screens for the back seat passengers. That’s in addition to the rearward-visibility-hampering flip-down screen in the ceiling, mind you.
Oh and another thing… why do car makers include these punie looking screens that look like someone paid 5 dollars for in cars like these? Go all the way or don’t put them in at all.
Oh and lawd the comments on Autoblog about this! But I’m here to talk about the shoes and why this SUV could look way better with better shoes.
Hot Shoes! Royalty Luxury Alloys – The Masterpiece
SEMA Wheels: That’s one heck of a fat lip
I don’t know about the fat (phat) lip and who is going to see it (your boys will), but the look of the car is pretty hot.
Some people say that rims are going out, but the reality is that the best way to make your car/truck look different from others is to change the shoes. Around my area black rims with silver trim are popular. Also what is coming into play (finally cause I like them) is the shoes that look like flying disks (more on that later) .
Anyway… these are cool.For you ballers out there, try something different for once and instead of putting them on a Dodge Charger or Magnum, try a Lincoln or a Subaru Tribeca or something.
Fashion Trends: Rope Chains Are Back?

RED CARPET TRENDS: 80′S GOLD – Concrete Loop
Old is new again. I know you already noticed that with the retro sneakers.. heck, have you noticed that even peoples cars have something retro on it? That right, people are recognizing the white wall look gives that Dodge Magnum and Charger (and the Cadillac CTS) a good look. So it would seem retro is in for sneakers… and shoes LOL
I saw a few people… more than a few really… with high top fades. Yes, HIGH TOP FADES. I swear! Had the rope chain too. I don’t know what else he was wearing because I was sooo trying not to stare at him without busting out laughing.
Concrete Loop briefly goes into who is wearinf it and where you can buy some of it too.
And I am sure people in NYC know about this…
Makes me wonder what in store for 2008. Rope chains, high top fades and I love NY t-shirts. I don’t know if those Brooklyn t-shirts counts as retro… but I think somebody will walk the red carpet in it with a rope chain and a bucket hat.

Truck Rims – Wheels And tires – Victoriatire.com
From Victoria Tire and Wheel
Cost varies with size (doesn’t it always?)
This is a hot shoe for any (well, most luxury) cars and trucks. Now I guess you would have to go for a red (black or maybe white) car in order for this to look right. It doesn’t say anything about changing the color so I guess this is it. They do have a chrome version but its not that flavor-fill (real word?)
The site has crazy amounts of rims for your car, truck or SUV so take a look around.

While only shown for what amounts as the first verse of the song, the Chevy Tahoe becomes one of the girls in this video. Now this is what is funny to me. Almost every time I see the new Tahoe, it is in white and its got TIS (Twenty Inches Strong) shoes and the shoe match the car. Unless I am completely mistaken, the shoe on the Tahoe are T.I.S. If they are not, I’ll find out soon enough.
I’ll be looking for Missy’s Channel jacket and some of the other stuff I see in the video eventually. I think what they should do is give mea manafest of what is in the video so i can report on it… that would make things easier LOL

Now this is WAY MORE like it. After all this is what I am really interested in (even though probably no one else is). Now this is a great shot of one of Lamborghini’s shoes made for its cars. And if you think this is a great shot, take a look at this shot. All part of the group called Auto Wheel.
Video Rihanna – Shut Up and Drive (Video Premiere) – Dailymotion Share Your Videos
Rihanna: Shut Up and Drive
Rihanna (born Robyn Rihanna Fenty on February 20, 1988) is a Bajan singer with musical influences from R&B, pop, reggae and dancehall. Rihanna became worldwide known with chart hits such as “Pon de Replay“, “If It’s Lovin’ That You Want“, “SOS“, “Unfaithful“, and “Break It Off“.
Another video from Rihanna that is SOOOO connected to the art of sexy chicks and hot whips (the ones you drive not the ones you…) I don’t really recognize the orange car except to say that it looks like a modified Nissan Z.
And the rims on that “modified Nissan Z” looks hot. I recognize them, but can’t think of the manufacturer or the name. Sorry guys! I hope to do better to identify stuff on these videos (from fashion to shoes)
As for the video, I think its pretty cool. It works. The song is kinda pop-ish but that’s fine.
Overall a good look ESPECIALLY since cars star in the video.
