CLAW Money - Nike Vandel Drops 10/27 October 23, 2007

Women’s Nike Blazers - Horse Hair Edition October 2, 2007

Another sneaker pack, but this time by Nike. The Horse Hair Pack will be just for the LADIES!!!!!!!!

The prize winner is the Zebra Blazers HI. Then they added a pair of funky Zebra Blazers Mid.

Then they added 2 pair of mediocre Dunks - horse hair

One thing I hate about posting these new edition of sneakers is We never know when or where they will drop. I am keeping my ear to the ground for all sneaker posts that I put up. Especially the Adidas Something For The Ladies Pack.

Another Pair of Dream Nikes September 29, 2007

SBTG & Methamphibian present their ready to die operations: SKULLS OF SAIGON.

Two of the worlds biggest names in sneaker customization have decided to combine and draw inspiration and apply it to their sneakers in a much more tongue-in-cheek fashion.

You still have the dark elements of Methamphibian in there as well as SBTG’s trademark pattern work, but together it forms an energetic mix of colours and images.

But they don’t expect to stop there, planning on eventually expanding this as far as it can go. The first batch out the gate will be a set of Dunk High and Dunk Low.

The Dunk Highs are named “Psychoholic Slag” after the White Zombie song.

The lows are called “Pestilence.” The name is inspired by the Metallica song “The Four Horsemen.

They drop Tomorrow, Sept 30th and cost a whopping $650 (hence my calling them “dream” nikes)

UPDATE:  Check out Methamphibian (Store) for the Misfit Saigon Dunk Low… They still cost $600

Adidas: Something For The Ladies Pack August 22, 2007

I hope I can get my hands on just one of the three pair of sneakers below. Said to be released as a Pack, Adidas has introduced the “Something For The Ladies” pack. Featuring the massively chunk, awesomely bright Metro Attitude, the colourway is perfect. ( I have a nice wool Penguin sweater that would go real nice with the Metro Attitude Hi joints above Look @ me scheming already!)
All three shoes feature the unusual, bee hive like design of the hexagon shapes highlighted on different parts of each shoe. Whether you fancy the chunk of the Metro Attitude, the wafer-ness of the silver streak low or the old school flavour of the shell toe, there is something for all the ladies, whatever mood she’s in.
Over @ Sneaker Freaker, they said that the sneaker is great for the hot summer, but seeing as the Summer fell like the Fall, and the Summer will soon turn into the Fall, we must see past the cute outfits of the Heat & look to what we can pair these babies with for the Fall Season. There is no release date for the pack as of yet. When I find one I will post it. The Adidas Online Store has no mention of it as well, so this is sneaker connoissuer news and everyone @ this time will have the same thing… Just Pictures

Supa Star Shell Toe

Silver Streak Low

UPDATE:
Unfortunately, it looks like there is no online outlets to buy any of these kicks. Sometimes, certain retailers get new shipments, but it may be in a year or two. I say that because, the Adidas Grace Mid, in the pastel colorways was @ Urban Outfitters, but they sold out so freakin’ fast. Almost a year later Urban Outfitters had them again, and they sold a bit slower. So I say that to say, I will check every few months, because I check for kicks all the time, but if they are not available, I won’t post any updated information - which I think is fair.

This Guy… July 26, 2007

This Guy, Leroy Jenkins caught my eye with his fitted hats collaboration that he did with Estate LA (peep my post on it here). And he has teamed up with Royal Elastics for a second time to do a series of sneakers.

Leroy Jenkins, needs some women pieces in his life, because his prints are rich with detail and the floral prints are sooo in this summer for us ladies!!

But the wonderful people over @ Highsnobiety went to the United Tradeshow in NYC (July 23rd & 24th) and got a peek at the kicks collab and some coats from the Leroy Jenkins Fall/Winter ‘07 Preview. Note that the pics below are not the full line up of the Fall/Winter ‘07. I will keep my eye on the screen and look for more.

Peep the kicks & gear below:
Leroy Jenkins x Royal Elastics

These babies come in a few colors and they are limited to 100 pairs per each design. Along with the Leroy Jenkins & Royal Elastics brand logos, there will be a number embroidered on the shoe, I guess so you can know how special you are

Military Jacket

Leather Bomber Jacket (peep the detail at the bottom)

Ladies, A Few Kicks For Us July 13, 2007

I was hesitating about posting these sneakers (for no reason imparticular), I feel in love as soon as I saw them though. Already owning a pair of Blazers, these sneakers have a retro look to them but with a modern spin. & they are comfy

Anyhoo, check out the collab Nike did with graffitti artist & fashion designer CLAW Money (who happens to be… A GIRL!!!!) for a limited edition pair of Blazer kicks. There are 3 colors that will be available: Zest/White and Pink Fire, Flame Red/White and Ice Blue, and Black on Black with Anthracite.

The pattern will contain CLAW Money’s signature three taloned “mark”. Creating a sneaker that is feminine, with an eyelet pattern to go along with CLAW’s signature ‘paw’ print.

This collab is said to be living up to the ‘Nike and street art’ philosophy, which they have been doing since day one. The CLAW Money sneakers is set to hit select retailers this summer.

Nike x CLAW Money will be teaming up again to debut part 2 of the collaboration with a limited edition pair of Vandels HI in October.

Nike recently dropped the Womens Air Force 1 ‘07 Low Premium NYC- City Edition/ Nike Air Force 1 XXV Anniversary shoe. Theses joints are FIRE!!! Made up of a neutral grey crocodile pattern - that reflects, joined by white, azure (bright blue) sole, yellow bottom, and a hot pink heel. Definitely a HOT sneaker.

This sneaker dropped on June 23rd, 2007. They start running @ about $100. The best place to find them is probably here or eBay.

Then there’s the Womens Air Force 1 ‘07 Low Supreme NYC - City Edition/ Nike Air Force 1 ‘07 Supreme XXV Anniversary sneaker also comes in another color. Having the same white reflective base pattern, these sneakers have a beige sole, with a pink & blue two-tone bottom, and a beige heel.

You can get these sneakers here.

New Balance has been dropping some serious heat. And these sneakers are definitely smokin’. Collaborating with the French companies LA MJC & COLETTE they have brought a birthday collaboration with La MJC for their 6th Anniversary. Last year, La MJC designed the 100th Anniversary sneaker for new Balance, so i guess it was only right that the favor was returned.

Say hello to the New Balance 1500

Said to being limited to only 150 pairs. You can try and get your hands on these sneakers @ Sold Out & Colette. They run for 150.00€ which converts to $198.37.

Yes, they are not cheap, but… I will keep my eye peeled for some good deals and great buys when it comes to sneakers. Being a sales whore and a sneakerhead, I can honestly say that i will try to stay true to my word.

Nonetheless, I hope you’ve enjoyed!
