Terence Koh's interpretation of Converse's iconic Chucks is now available at Opening Ceremony for $150...The minimalist design, which is reminiscent of a plaster sculpture, utilizes seamless edges and premium leather laces to achieve a super smooth look...More than sneakers....basically a work of art.
If you're going to be in the NYC area tonight, Wyclef Jean will be at the Timberland Store on 474 Broadway. He will be there signing autographs and giving away CD's with each pair of Timberland's new Yele Haiti Earthkeepers boots purchased. Also, Timberland will be donating $2 from each purchase of the footwear to Wyclef's Yele Haiti Foundation. The event starts at 8:30PM.
The Timberland X Wyclef Jean Yele Haiti boots are now available online, and $2 from every purchase will be donated to the reforestation of Haiti. The Boots come in Chukka and 6" models, which both come in several colors. They are also part of Timberland's Earthkeepers collection, which means they are partially made of recycled materials. That means they are also good for the environment. Righteous!!
DJ AM may be no longer with us, but he left quite a legacy behind. Part of that Legacy is a huge sneaker collection which includes coveted kicks such as Nike Playstation AF-1's, Eminem Air Jordan 4's, Hyperstrikes, and Supreme Dunks, all models that Sneakerheads dream about.
If you're one of these Sneaker Aficionados, then you will want to check out eBay this weekend, where 800 pairs from DJ AM's personal collection will be sold to benefit the DJ AM Memorial Fund. On sale will be hundreds of Nike, Converse, Reebok, and BAPE sneakers that the late performer collected over 10 years.
If you're interested, the online auction will begin at 4:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 15, and continue though Monday Dec. 14, with bids taking place via www.ebay.com/djamshoes.

The Court Shoe has always been a prime example of simple, yet sophisticated design, but the Clae Kennedy has extrapolated that formula into a stunning shoe worthy of it's respected status amongst sneaker aficionados.
However, Clae, as part of a collaboration with Stussy LA, has created a truly extravagant version of the Kennedy that is one of my favorite designs for Fall/Winter 09...The Dark Navy upper with Caramel Piping and Gingham lining just oozes class.
This shoe is part of a Limited Edition run, so there will only be 100 pairs manufactured, with about 25 of those for sale online...$90
Does any streetwear line embody the grit, grime and toughness of NYC any more than ALIFE? I think their gear should be the official uniform of New Yorkers. The logos are simple and straightforward, the color pallettes just vibrant enough to make a statement. I mean, Damn! What's more NYC than Forty Belows? The ALIFE Holiday 09 gear will be available at all ALIFE flagship stores as well as THEUPSET.com this Friday, Nov. 6th...What you copping?
Nike strikes the perfect balance between a rugged hiking boot and a sleek dress shoe with their Air Royal Mid Quickstrike...this sneaker is the sugar honey iced tea! Available at Undefeated retail Saturday, October 31st....More pics here.
The Vael Project makes some of the hottest shoes I have ever seen, and yet they are also some of the hardest shoes to find in stores...I guess that's one reason why I love the internet, because you are never too far away from the latest and greatest. Vael Project shoes incorporate everything that makes up a good shoe, quality materials like soft leather uppers along with vibram soles, timeless design, and comfort...their Fall 09 collection is available now, and some of my favorite models are the Klipspringer Mid (pictured above) and the Deckard Boot (pictured below)
