Loving that Under Armour had the smarts to create a custom pair of kicks for our president. On this page is a close up of the presidential seal featured on the tongue, along with NBA player and Under Armour-sponsored Brandon Jennings.  Solecollector tells us the shoe is a Jennings sample, which will be released in 2012.

These Adidas Originals “Easy Five Lo”  patent, lace-up flats are included in the post we just did on the “Blue Collection,” but for all the click-through snobs, we didn’t want you to miss seeing this adorable pair of shoes (they’re described as sneakers, but we don’t think so) included in the offerings.

Adidas like most athletic shoe brands is getting in on the lightweight action and is previewing some women’s product whose overall theme is sleekness.

It’s not the best image but hey, we’re not going to NOT post images of the very first Alexander Wang sneakers. And truthfully, we feel like we or someone of our ilk should have been the ones to get these first, but nope, we had to spot them on Elle. Darn Alex, and we heard you had love for the sneaker blogs, too. Que pasa?
