Vans has done a boatload of collabos this year, but I think I like this one the best so far. Not just cuz the Bad Brains were an amazing band that never got its due propers, but also cuz they're a good fit with Vans. Makes sense somehow.
Other side: more tees and three pairs of shoes, including those Chukkas!
Oy..The "adult" in me wants to say no. How many pairs of kicks do you really need?(cause I have alot) but,the sneakerfiend in me says,this is Jeremy Scott and Adidas and they have wings on them and they are gold, and the are just too cool ,and I always wanted to have wings..

We attented the Launch party of the Adidas Black Tie last week. Hosted by David Z and Adidas at the swanky Goldbar. This was probably be the best "sneaker" launch party this year with the venue being appropriate for the theme,the crowd being fun ,and actually dress-up.
When we heard of the theme and the black tie dress code we were curious to see if the men would actually suit up, (cause for the most part the ladies get decked out)and lo and behold they did. And by the look of itseemed like most of our downtown scenesters read selectism!The best dressed man had to be Ronnie Fieg , clad in Hugo Boss and the Signature Adidas Black Tie Shell Toes.
Some images of the well dressed crowd on the Flip.. Altough the venue had a no picture rule ..oops!
Available in feb 09,the Jeremy Scott x Adidas JS logo has an 80's appeal that I cannot say no to.This is probably one of the best designer/sports brand collabo this year!
More one the next page!

Fila is one of those labels that Lois and I have alot of love for.They have recently introduced the "Melrose" a womens hi-top. I like the sleekness of it as well as the slant in the back making hi-tops so much more comfortable.More no the Next page!
At this point I don't know if Converse can do anything wrong,their designs teams must be really busy...Sneaker design does not always need to be groundbreaking sometimes sleek, understated and practical is enough.The fur lined converse All stars ,with a suede toe represent the perfect winter sneaker if there is such a thing.Available at Luisaviaroma
Last tuesday Reebok hosted a stylist event at STK in Los Angeles.The event gave the stylemakers and celebs of the west coast an opportunity to preview their spring collection while networking and feasting on a customized menu.
* The table setting was original and so appropriate
Yours truly had the opportunity to style the event, and present to the trendsetters and celebs the fashion quotient the Reebok brand has been able to maintain and striving to continually expand.
tons of pics on the Next Page!
living in brooklyn I hear alot of new slang,walking down the street with a svelte friend I have heard the catcall"wassup Slim?" Strange as it was,the new style by Airwalk has the same name."The Slim"part of the lines new spring 09 assortment.
Looks very familiar...
Samia's gonna post a bunch of images from a Reebok event that took place yesterday or something in California. She's kinda shy and totally modest so what she probably won't do is tell you that she styled it and she's even featured in the WireImages!! She's not into having her picture shown all over the place so I'm not gonna put it up here, but here's one gratuitous shot from the event:
My one ish is that they spelled her name wrong in the captions! I mean yeah she has a ......, but her last name isn't DERIERRE, it's Grand-Pierre!
Since the whole ponzi scheme that I always said Wall Street was finally blew up in everyone's faces, retailers are freaked out beyond belief and only carrying the most basic of shit. Fortunately online retailers are hanging tough and still offering shoes in colors other than black and brown. Case in point these Keds-inspired shoes by Rubber Duck
Available at 80sPurple for just 42 bills
(Sorry for the sideways image, but I'm trying to avoid getting three different lectures which basically translate to: "Oh my god!! The image is the too long!!! Jeezus, what is wrong with you??? Are you THAT retarded?")
