Nike SB Wool “Dr. Huxtable”

I usually like my sneakers clean and simple, but these are too unique not to comment on. Apparently, the inspiration for the design of the sneaker was found in Dr. Huxtable’s multi-patterened wool sweaters. I don’t think the white grain leather does anything for the shoe however. I love the fabric, but the thought almost seems incomplete. I wish they would have done something a little more natural like the bamboo weave. They’re not yet available in the US, but if you are interested, find them through this Korean retailer Kasina.

Link it.

Air Jordan Retro I High Premier

The Air Jordan I, my AJ of choice, is making the Holidays a little brighter this year with two tonal releases in Metallic Zinc and the Dark Obsidian. Both versions complement the classic silhouette of the I, but I’m crazy for that dark patent leather. There is just something about a tonal sneaker that is so clean. The Dark Obsidian and Metallic Zinc Air Jordan Retro I High Premier will both be part of Jordan Brand’s Holiday AJI lineup and are set to hit stores later this month. (Just in time for my birthday!) Keep an eye out.

… Nike Gladiator Mids

So I’m not usually one to brag about personal treasures, but…. in this post I guess I am. Today I was talking with a friend, and he brought up the question of my “favorite pair of shoes and why.” It took me only a matter of seconds to gather my answer in my head: my Nike Gladiator Mids. I was walking around Kingly Court in London one day after work this summer, and I wandered into this sneaker shop. When I saw them it was like I had to have them on my feet. Four months later, I am still wearing them into November. So why do I love them? Well while my taste is somewhat selective, I would still categorize myself as a sneak head. And these shoes indulge both my feminine and sporty needs. Basically, if I could be any shoe, it would be this one. Not that I’m so sure I would choose to spend my existence as footwear…. Nevertheless, the Nike Gladiator is a novelty in my book. Comfortable, unique, simple, sexy and tough.
