This clean and simple-designed footwear from Gourmet is another line to explode in Fall. It features a diagonal lacing system that no sneaker maker has ever created. It comes in a light Grey suede with a mixture of canvas.

Even the not-so-retro-fanatics would definitely include these sneakers to their list of must-buy’s. Presenting a classical look packed with Nike’s very own Air Max cushioning, the retro runners would not have second thoughts. This particular model is made of synthetic leather with nylon on the toebox, and is visibly black on the uppers with yellow accents.

Asics has released two sneakers for the Spring 2009 Collection, in two identical designs. The Gel Lyte III in a Black/Turquoise/Purple colorway and the GT-II in Navy Blue/White/Infrared. Each shoe has distinguished motif though they likely come up with the same design. The GT-II however has rare color combos that makes it perfect for the Summer. These new Asics are now available at Sneakers N Stuff.

After the success of its first release, Footaction is again making this incredible shoe available for sneaker fanatics whom for the most far-off reason failed to cop this early on. Featuring an icy bottom, an upper with a unique eggplant color scheme and design, and the ever reliable Foamposite Technology, “eggplant” is surely a must-buy. Be on the alert as this sneaker hits the retail stores on the 5th of February. $200..

This Nike Dunk Hi SB “Glen Quagmire” is the latest Dunk Hi. This sneaker is sold at Sneak. It sells for 15,500 Yen.

The shoe is made of blue and red suede. The toe box is in blue suede. The mudguard defines the toe box and emphasizes the area. The tongue is made of blue fabric and is topped with a red colored rim. The ankle of the collar is lined in purple. The collar and back tab are in a continuous piece of blue suede. The Nike swoosh is in blue suede and moves down from the heel.

The midsection of the shoe is made of red suede. Yellow colored embroidered stars adorn the red suede. They look very nice and can be mistaken for flowers since they are 5 pointers. The embroidery also makes them look unique and handmade. The midsole is white with a single line. The midsole was left white and plain to avoid distraction. The shoe upper has been elaborately done and deserves to be the center of attraction. The sole is a gum sole.

This shoe was inspired by a TV character in a series called “Family Guy.” The character’s name is Glen Quagmire. Can you picture Quagmire wearing this pair of sneakers? (Image)

Ripp was asked by his promoter friend JT to create some kicks for an upcoming raffle. The designer decided to go all out with a SpongeBob SquarePants theme that is difficult to match in quality and craftsmanship. If you want to learn more about Ripp, drop him a line at [email protected] to learn more about his customizing skills.

Each shoe is designed to replicate SpongeBob from head to shoes starting with the toe box. We see SpongeBob’s goofy face smiling at us from the toes, eyes wide in anticipation of a funny joke or prank. As you look back toward the middle panel, you see how Ripp goes from SpongeBob’s yellow torso to his signature brown pants with ease.

The heel is painted brown for his pants and the tag is black like his leather shoes. Ripp added strips of reddish orange on the eyelets to simulate SpongeBob’s tie. I have written about SpongeBob customs in the past but Ripp has taken this lovable character to a new level.
