The classic
I hate it when an old school shoe gets ruined by a modern funky style that someone thinks is cool. And to me, that’s what happened here.
If you are dressing up as a bumblebee for Halloween, these shoes are a good choice. Otherwise, I’m not really sure why you would wear them. These bright yellow and black striped shoes are definitely funky.
But hey, everyone has there own taste and maybe you like them. If so, you can get them from the
New York City boutique and brand, Opening Ceremony, has partnered with the Swedish sneaker brand called Tretorn. Tretorn is doing this as part of their celebrations doing a comeback into the sneaker manufacturing industry. Tretorn has also collaborated with Acne Jeans and other brands that are compatible with its sneaker image.
This Opening Ceremony and Tretorn collection has a few designs. The basic shape is the same, from a vintage Tretorn design. This old design comes from the 1950’s collection. This current shape has a slight modification and improvement. The shape is streamlined to make it look a little different so thatTretorn’s fans will recognize its basic shape and yet feel that the shoe has evolved along with the times.
This collection is available in three patterns of checks and plaids. These are fairly regular and classic variations of checks and plaids.
I like the black and plaid pattern the best. It has thin strips of yellow running across to form yellow outlines that bring life into the plaid.
I think the red/black/white plaid looks good too. If white socks are used, it will bring out the focus on the shoe. However, colored socks can also be worn. If you want to blend in, choose a color that is already in the shoe. If you want to stand out from the crowd, choose a totally different color from what your shoe already has.
My fellow writer Ann spoke to you a month ago about the four wild colorways of the new
The Nike Trainer Dunk Low are a model hybrid of the Air Trainer 1, Dunk Low and Free. This gray and pink colorway is part of the hybrid Tech Pack.
Though it’s a hybrid shoe, it’s still pretty straight forward looking. The pink shades aren’t too overwhelming and the yellow NIKE on the heel looks sweet.
If you are into the hybrid shoe styles, this isn’t a bad choice. You can find these sneakers at Atmos-Tokyo and there’s several pairs up on eBay.

Each Reebok Voltron pack comes packaged in a nice gift box with its matching toy. There are 5 Reebok Voltron packs and when you combine all these 5 toys, you’ll get a big robot.
If you love these collector items, buy the whole pack of 5.It is a very rare opportunity. Sneakers last for 6 months with daily use so a pack of 5 is good value for about 2 years’ worth of supply.
There are 4 models which look similar except for their colors. The 5th model has an entirely different pattern down its side. The reinforcement strap of leather has a different pattern.The shoe laces are locked in a different way too. The relatively large orange pattern makes this sneaker look very outstanding. This will be great for fans with a preference for orange color.

The set of four classic Reeboks that form the Reebok Chain Gang leave a lot to be desired for most sneaker fans. I can remember in my formative years that Reeboks were low in the sneaker food chain somewhere between plain white New Balance walking shoes and the entire Saucony brand. Each of the Chain Gang members features a fresh colorway, anti-microbial sole and a treated lining ideal for workout warriors.
The problem is that Reebok is returning to styles that are less than thrilling. Some companies can get away with bringing back cult (read: few people bought them) designs in an effort to capture the retro sneaker crowd. A few sneaker fans may take their chance on the oddly-named Chain Gang but it may be for practical purposes rather than a love of the boring templates used by Reebok in the past.
