  • Shoe Gallery x Reebok Workout “25th Anniversary”
    By on February 14th, 2012 | No Comments Comments

    The Shoe Gallery x Reebok Workout “25th Anniversary” is inspired by the “The Circle”, which is located in downtown Miami. Mirroring the shadows of the downtown skyscrapers and the ceremonial grounds of the Tequesta Tribe, this Workout takes subtle ques from the traditional moccasins used by this tribe. In addition to a predominately beige colored upper, this pair also features a cement-like outsole that features a white on grey splattered effect.

  • A Conversation with adidas Rose 2.5 Designer Robbie Fuller
    By on February 14th, 2012 | No Comments Comments

    To whom much is given, much is tested. Such is the responsibility of crafting the signature shoe for Derrick Rose. Adidas Basketball Category Designer Robbie Fuller has the dream job of lacing the league’s MVP with the demanding task of equipping the most explosive feet in the NBA. Coming off the performance success of the Crazy Light and the aesthetically embraced Rose 2, we talked to Robbie about his latest creation, the adidas adiZero Rose 2.5.

    Nice Kicks: What are the challenges of creating a sneaker for Derrick Rose?

    Robbie Fuller: Functionally, making sure it can keep up with his speed, lock him down, and give him the right traction. Style wise, making sure it can go from court to street, and for sneaker culture, making sure it can get more positive feedback on your blog than everybody else’s shoes [Laughs]! To be honest, when you have a favorite athlete you don’t just want to seem them drop 40 every night only, you want to see their shoes be as tight as they can be. When we sit down to work on a Derrick Rose shoe, we know we’re doing a piece of history and we have to make sure we really step up.

    Nice Kicks: Two signatures in one season seems to be a new idea adidas is pushing. What was the reasoning behind that?

    Robbie Fuller: I think it’s unique. The way our innovation works is that we’re continuously innovating, and things aren’t always just ready at the beginning of the season. Sometimes they take a little more finesse to get right. By approaching his footwear twice a year, we’re able to make tweaks, where necessary, to make sure that he has the best advantage possible on court.

    Nice Kicks: So you’re saying that the Rose 2.5 is being worked on when the Rose 2 is being played in?

    Robbie Fuller: Yeah. Continuously, we’re working on things. You’ve got these windows of opportunity to build these benefits into the shoe. By us having two separate models, we can reevaluate the shoe and maybe get that extra little piece into the shoe that you wouldn’t have if you were just going to do a new colorway. A new color won’t make you faster, but these benefits will.

    Nice Kicks: How involved is Derrick in the design process?

    Robbie Fuller: He has a desk right next to mine [Laughs]. I’m just kidding. We meet with him several times a year, whether it’s myself or with the athlete’s service team, and we collect all that information. From a comment space, he’s really adamant about the look and the style of the shoe. We take the responsibility of blending and balancing that with the functional breakthroughs so that shoe can easily go from court to street.

    Nice Kicks: Do you have any first hand examples of a style aspect that he either loved or nixed?

    Robbie Fuller: It’s one that he says every time we meet up: it’s always about the simple look of having a clean toe. You can see that’s been pretty consistent across all his shoes. It looked really good on the 1.5 with the white toe, all-patent. This year, we wanted to bring some shine to the toe as well, and we did it through the satellite graphic. He sets the expectation of making sure that it’s clean, simple, and super wearable, and this is how we delivered.

  • Nike Roshe Run – Black/Anthracite/Siren Red
    By on February 13th, 2012 | No Comments Comments

    Just want to buy a pair of Nike Roshe Run – Black/Anthracite/Siren Red right now? Nike Roshe Run – Black/Anthracite/Siren Red.


    When you hear about Nike running sneakers, what’s the first thing that comes to your mind? Isn’t is that the Lunar or Free are the first things that you get associated to? This is because Nike is known with its runners wearing either the Lunar or Free technologies. However, this next running shoe uses neither of the above-mentioned breakthroughs but a very simple construction that can be classified as low profile.

    The Nike Roshe Run is one of the simplest running forms that have been equipped with only a breathable upper that’s made of mesh and a sole unit that’s not even an Air Max-fused but with an appealing feature. Nike brings a black over siren red colorway wherein it appears to be like a cotton candy, sweet and sugary. In a brief description, this Roshe Run is designed with an average comfort feel and minimalist style.

    If you love the uncomplicated motif, the Roshe Run is an ideal pair for a lightweight running.
