    New Balance and Size? 577 Clerks shoe 1

    New Balance 577 model has a brand new evolutionary look for its 577 Clerks Pack. It is touted as having a fruity look because of its bright, luminescent colors of green, cyan blue, purple, pink and orange.This design is exclusive to Size?Stores and at size-online.co.uk with a limited edition of 250 pairs available in each colorway.

    A special promotional gesture allocates four pairs of these sneakers to lucky winners of the online and jackpot machine campaign. Two special vending machines are installed in the Carnaby St. and Covent Garden Size ? Stores.Walk in customers may try their luck at winning a pair of Jackpot shoes.

    These lucky shoes have their unique, limited edition trademark on the tongues.A yellow gold bag of money signifies the origins of the shoes.The wearer might think of it as a lucky charm and work out the fruit machines more often.I should think that if I were to be so fortunate as to win a pair, I would preserve it for eternity or auction them off.

    I like the largely black background of the sneakers. It enables the fluorescent strips to stand out.The detailed lining of the overall of the shoe comprises of black colored crocodile skin. The younger set might even like the black shoes because of the bright dashes of colors.This is another great awesome design from the New Balance 577 model.

    Wow. Look at the distinguishing details for the outer heel. Even the white portion has speckled spots on it.

  • Air Jordan 15

    I am probably not the only shoe writer who thinks that the Air Jordan line of basketball kicks is overrated. In fact, I think the Jordan name has been stretched as thin as it possibly can while maintaining its cache. It may be the fact that Jordan ruined some of his luster by coming back to the Wizards or the discomfort that comes from wearing these shoes for an extended period of time. Prepare not to be dazzled with the Jordan 15s that are coming out soon.

    These shoes will feature the Air Jordan’s typically high price and they may not be released in multiple platforms initially. The prospect of paying upwards of $125 for a pair of shoes you may not be able to try on first does not sound appealing. I would pass on these shoes if they do not end up on store shelves upon release for the obvious reasons.

    A final reason to dislike Air Jordans in general and the Air Jordan 15s is their bland appearance. This shoe obviously harkens back to old school high tops with some new school design. The colorways are adequate if you are a high school basketball team with some disposable income but they lack the style that the average baller desires. You can choose from all black with the red Jordan symbol and a gold, white and black colorway that is marginally better than the standard Air Jordan 15s. I will try and hunt a pair of these shoes down if they hit stores just to fulfill my sick fantasy of trying out as many shoes as possible but that is where my involvement with the new Air Jordans ends.

  • Air Jordan VIII Retro Aqua

    Air Jordan VIII Retro Aqua

    Over at Overkill, you can find the Air Jordan VIII Retro “Aqua.” These shoes were released this month and are some of the retro kicks on the market. From back in 1993 when Michael Jordan was busy winning a championship against Charles Barkley and the Phoenix Suns, these sneakers are definitely classics.

    The aqua colors really stand out with the rest of the shoe being black. If you look at the front of the shoe, you can notice some slick crossing straps that add an extra element to these kicks.

    On the tongue, there is the traditional Air logo in red surrounded by even more aqua. These shoes are absolutely one of the best releases of the month.

  • KSwiss and Fake London combo.

    kswiss and fake london combination 1

    KSwiss and Fake London have put their brains together to design two new models. The new shoes are stamped with the Fake London punk rock shout. However, the rolling rocker is subdued somewhat by KSwiss’ classical cutting of the shoe. This is a delightful concoction of the regale and pop culture.This line is sold by LaMJC and Sold Out. One pair generally sells in the range of €150.

    The tongue of the sneaker has dual designs. It can be flipped and worn on the outside too.This adds personality to the shoe and gives away the personality of the user too.My preference would be to wear the tongue in for functional warmth and a sober look. When I want to make a statement but can’t do it verbally, I would stick my tongue out to tell the world that I love punk fashion.

    As the tongue of the sneaker is a unique and prominent feature, the shoe can be worn half laced, instead of the usual fully laced up traditional way. I love this peek-a-boo tease act. You’ll have folks staring hard at your shoes, trying to figure out what the rest of the tongue design says.It seems that KSwiss and Fake London have let their shoes do all the talking for them.

    There are more pictures of the beauties after the jump. Please come along.

    Even the shoe box is pretty. It is a souvenir item.

    Its Kswiss at the soles and a thick layer of it cushions your feet against fatigue.

  • The Keep Fall Collection

    The current collection of fall casual shoes for Keep is an affordable option for people who need a shoe to fit their style. The ten styles put out by Keep in September 2007 are diverse enough to draw the eyes of even the most fickle shoe fans. You can see in the picture above the mixture of a subtle colorway with an upper made of corduroy that sets Keep owners apart from shoe traditionalists.

    One of the best reasons to purchase one of these styles by Keep is the price. Most of these styles hang between $60 and $90 USD so you can keep more money in your wallet to buy a matching outfit. More importantly, you can find a pair of Keeps in any major shoe store throughout the United States. While shoe lovers enjoy the rare and exotic, they also need a pair of everyday shoes that won’t force them to get a second job.
