Dizzee Rascal x Nike

One of my favorite London artists is getting his own shoe truly showing how big he is. I can't wait to reach the level of fame to get my own pair of Nikes for sale.

Gourmets:Review of Due

My love for Gourmets are far from a secret, but I believe that it has expanded to an unforeseen level in the past two days. From arriving at my house, seeing an exceptionally large box filled with brown paper, and a smaller box, to opening that smaller box to see what I believe has to be the sexiest addition to my sneaker collection yet.

Black on black sexiness then graced my feet the next day(today) for class, the high school level "OOOOHHHSSS " and "AWWWWWWSSSS" are replaced with self assurance that I have the sexiest pair of sneakers on my feet in the entire campus, and this self knowledge of my own personal style is much more appreciated than the attention one gets from new shoes in a high school building, but enough on my feelings about dressing for one's self instead of the audience around you, and onto the beautiful Gourmet Dues.

Nothing could be more embracing than the feel of Louis Vuitton level leather, but even at half price I could not afford those editions. While the higher editions would have been a great edition to my closet, and a delight to have, I could not pass on just owning a pair of Gourmets post Nike law suit. Enough blabber though. Instead just go buy a pair of the best shoes in the world while I rub and pet mine like a dog........I'm not being serious here. I'm not a hypebeast, people.

Peace and Love.

Still My Favorite Shoe Company

I love my Nikes, but if I had to make a decision on what to wear for the rest of my life it would be Gourmet without a blink or second thought.  If I had the money right now I would buy every pair released, and for as long as I've been a semi-sneakerhead(I'm more of fan of fly fashionable stuff than a sneaker addict) I've never said I want every colorway of anything. I'm more of a find a perfect pair and that's it, but Gourmet has a way of always coming harder and harder like they have yet to reach the 5 mark on their 11 point volume knob. 

Alife Fall/Winter 2008

Alife is starting to ship out it's new line of footwear. They continue to debut new models season after season, and this season they release the Chuck, based off of a Chukka boot, and the Court Cup, based off of Stan Smiths. Their best shoe still remains to be the Everybody. Classic dunk upper, with a classic vulcanized sole makes a classic shoe. Add in Alife's creativity. Gotta love it.

Closer Look

A closer look at the next release from Supra NS on Hypebeast. It's just crazy how nice these are. These should be available at Wish whenever these are shipped out to stores.

sidenote

These are not the only shoes being released. These are just the ones I like.

Visvim X Mastermind and Converse

You gotta love the way Visvim goes about designing shoes.  Taking classic staple shoes and putting high quality materials aswell as very subtle relaxed colorways, and aesthetics. Too bad the price makes my pocket cringe and cry.

If you are like me and can't afford the Visvims posted above there is always the Converse Chuck Taylor Leather Jackets. Both have a similar qualities, but the Converse have a more grungy appearance(I guess for their 100 anniversary(damn that is a long time)). If the Visvims are Metal, then the Converse are Punk. Just had to say that. Either way beautiful shoes.

Taka Hayashi Vans Fall 08

Once again Vans has done another collection with one of my favorite artist Taka Hayahshi. I love how he puts his mark on shoes not only with just artwork but a whole different aesthetic on a pair of shoes making them truly unique. Hopefully I can get these as a birthday present since they are dated to release in October. 

The Collection includes No Skool 2 Mid, Owens Hi, and Rowley "Shambles" Mid.

Also check out Complex when you get a chance. Really good magazine. 

New Vault Vans at Standard

Standard got the new shipment of Vault Vans recently, and you have to at least see these in person. The white eras further down feature reflective 3M laces. So go check it out, maybe even get a pair or two or three, hell if you're a big money guy buy a pair of each, even the women. Yeah that's right, Standard actually got some more women stuff in.

People say I'm crazy, but you gotta be raving if you wear these honestly.

New Supra NS drop

For those that don't know Supra NS is the Non Skate and more fashion orientated line for the brand(that is why of the heavy price tag). Even those they are still some models from the skate side of things being used, to me the main silhouettes to my liking are the ones that originated with the NS line(at least in my knowledge correct me if I'm wrong here). To be honest I don't like many Supras, but the red and black four strapped shoe, and the slip on with the fat tongue really caught my eye. Check out Wish if you wanna get these off of the internet and you're located in The A.
