Asics and Alife Collaboration on Gel Lite III Godzilla
By SneakerFreak on October 11th, 2007 | No Comments

The latest collaboration between Asics and New York company Alife is arriving just in time for Halloween. This specially designed Gel Lite III has the protruding eyes, sharp teeth design and stark colors that make it look like Godzilla. The Gel Lite III Godzilla comes in three colorways including a basic black/red colorway and a bright green/orange colorway shown above. If you can get past the crazy design long enough to try the shoe on, you will be pleased with the typical comfort level found in Asics running shoes.

The Asics Gel Lite III Godzilla is a gimmick shoe that is meant as a special part of your collection instead of a mainstay. It is possible to use these shoes for a greater purpose, however. You can simulate scenes from one of the dozen Godzilla movies and determine what the Japanese government did wrong in its efforts to stop Godzilla. If you encounter the unique problem of having to purchase these special versions of the Asics Gel Lite III, I would choose the black version because it is understated.

If you are looking for a high-end sneaker that also works well as a dress shoe, consider these patent sneakers from Prada.

The Linea Rossa Patent Gradient Sneaker features a very unique gradient pattern that starts as black at the heel, fades into red, then finishes as white on the toe. The shoes also have a lace-up front with a red Prada logo on the tongue.

These Prada shoes are really slick and would make a great addition to anyone’s wardrobe. They are quite pricey at $550. But Prada is one of the top name fashion designers in the world, so you know you are getting a quality shoe.

The glossy patent sneakers are in high demand, but you can get them right now at Neiman Marcus and other fine department stores.

Air Jordan 1 Hi – custom template.
By SneakerFreak on October 11th, 2007 | 1 Comment

I borrowed this template from here.

The Air Jordan 1 Hi is a great shoe for basketball. The high heel offers protection and enables the user to perform at an optimum level.

Using this template, I can add colors to test out the effects.I can print out another copy to color and compare the effects.The reinforcement strips are generally in premium leather or some tough material. These materials need care when the colors are applied.

If I choose to customize my sneakers as a DIY, I would need all the necessary materials. There are special dyes for leather and fabrics.Another essential aid is the self adhesive sticky sheets that can be cut according to desire. These can be purchased from the stationery store.Before one area is colored, I can stick the protective film of sticky plastic like a temporary laminating to protect it from any accidental stains.

However, if there are stores in your vicinity that do the coloring for custom made sneakers, they are always the safer option.

I have some suggestions for the Air Jordan label. I can either choose a few colors for that, or color it a monochrome color. I like the basket ball on wings. There’s always the option of coloring it different ways with white wings to let the emphasis on the wings remain.

Reebok Dual Pump Runner
By SneakerFreak on October 11th, 2007 | No Comments

Are you flashing back to the 90’s?

The Dual Pump Runner first hit the shelves in 1992 and now Reebok is re-introducing them in January 2008. The vintage white/purple/pink colorway is sure to be big for the new year. These old school sneakers are going to be hot.

The shoes feature Reebok’s signature styling, Hexalite, and of course, the Pump. I really like these shoes and will probably try to grab a pair. The bright purple/pink against the white is a sweet color combination.

According to Complex, they will be available on New Years Day at select Reebok accounts for $115 a pair.
