Smoking Hot, Nike Blazers.

Now for some of you this may be a first sighting, but don't be fooled Nike Blazers have been around the block a few times. They are one of the many classics Nike still has in production. [Along with the Air Force One's and Dunks of course] They collaborate these shoes about as much as any other Nike shoe. With clothing brands, food brands and the like. Unlike many shoes on the market, Blazers, have very thick soles. You could stick one of those pins in there and you would never feel it. They come in low top, mid, and high top varieties.

Like all purchase able items these have a price! And they start at about $325 [for extremely rare special editions] to about $65 [on sale] I don't know anyone who wears them, so if you like them you would truly be and individual. You can find them anywhere Nike products are sold. So the best choice would be to go to the Nike store.

Omg Coach!

Just when you thought you had enough Coach, they make sneakers. Coach is known for putting their famous "C" on everything. It was only a matter of time before they made their way to shoes. With these shoes you can integrate the classiness of Coach as well as the playfulness of sneakers. In true Coach fashion they have all the same colors as their purses. The white pair shown below matches my wristlet, you've got to love it!

If you visit their website you will see that the styles range from hightops, straps, laces, and slip-ons. Not only does coach have sneakers they also have heels and sandals. If you're planning on buying these get the ones that match your purse, it looks cuter that way. They start at $88 and go up to about $328 [for heels] Coach shoes can be found at any Macy's, Dillard's, or Bloomingdale's.

Maximum Air w/ Air Max 90's

I went shoe shopping yesterday with my friend and I saw these, and I thought 'what a perfect shoe to blog about.' Air Max 90's are some of my favorite shoes. With their classic look, they are impossible not to love. These were one of the first pairs of Nike's to have a visible air pocket. In 1978 nobody thought that this shoe would become the icon that it now is. I've yet to get these shoes as well, but as soon as this recession is over [or I get my stimulus check, which ever comes first] I shall be buying a pair.

If you've worn Nike's before you know that comfort comes first, it's no different with the Air Max 90's. They come in so many different colors it's like you are choosing from an infinite rainbow. As with all Nike's these come with a hefty price tag at $490 [for extremely rare colors or quick releases] to $70 [ which is about the average price] They can be found at any Foot Locker, Champs, and sometimes at Underground Station.

It you like these go to: Nike and click on Nike Sportswear, from there it will take you to their selection of Air Max 90's.

Tasty Pastries!

These my dear readers are Pastry's, and my do they look delicious. Their creators are Vanessa and Angela Simmons, daughters of the famous Reverend Run, and the nieces of Richard Simmons. When they realized that their uncles brand had nothing specifically for the ladies, they invented Pastries. A nice fashionable shoe dedicated to all the ladies. The creative thing about this brand is that all the styles are food names. For example; Glam Pie, Fab Cookie, Smore, and Secret Sundae.

I've never actually seen people wear these, so I you buy them you sould be truly unique. They come in a variety of colors to match a good portion of your closet. They range from about $65-$90. [not that bad a price for the quality they have] These are the perfect shoes if you want to emulate Angela and Vanessa Simmons.

Oh Yeah Reeboks!

Reebok's, what can't I say about these shoes. Not a personal favorite of mine, but i love how they manage to stay in the sneaker world by consistently being individuals. They are most popular with those of the dancing variety, i.e. people from America's best dance crew. Supposedly they are flexible and allow for an array of movement. They also collaborate with many popular brands like Kool Aid [shown below] and they are also partnered with Jay-Z and G-Unit. Reebok's do their best work on specialized holiday color ways.

I tend not to like their styles, but if you do I happen to know where you can find them. They sell at and Foot Locker, Champs, Finish Line, Underground Station, etc. In fashionable sneakers they run on the cheaper side at about $30-$50 [only if they are for a special event]

Slam Dunks!

No, I didn't make a post about the same shoes twice. These my friends are nike dunks. Although very similar to their brand mates the Air Force Ones, Dunks are very very different shoes. They like Air Force Ones are also created for special events. Unlike their brand mates they are more highly favored with skaters. Being so popular with the skaters Nike had a brilliant idea to create a style more specified for their sport. Thus the Nike Dunks SB evolved.

Nike does an excellent job with these shoes listening to everyones opinions about them. Women complained about how the fit was the same for all sexes and Nike retaliated by creating The skinny dunks. Essentially they are the same Dunks just with a tighter fit at the top. [which means that now they can be worn with skinny jeans, hence the name skinny dunks] If you really want to get creative you can even design your own pair with Nikeid. Pick your own fabrics and colors.

They come in low top and high top styles. There prices range from about $40-$1,000. [big jump in prices i know]

Super Supra's

Supra's are some pretty stylish shoes, regardless of what you think. They started out as skate shoes, but slowly merged their way into fashion. They have about eleven different styles as a brand, my personal favorites are the Skytops [above]and the Vaiders.[below] These shoes are very popular with celebrities such as; Lil Wayne, Kanye West, T.I., etc. From lovers of the brand I've heard that the shoes for skating are very comfortable. Their non-skate line are very trendy and can match any outfit.

Supra's range in price from $50-$120, so if you want these save up a little[we are in a recession] They often collaborate with famous skaters such as Eric Ellington, Chad Muska, Antwuan Dixon, Terry Kennedy, Jim Greco, etc. So if you want to be like your favorite skater, Supra's can help you get there. They sell in seasons, so on their website they are broken up into spring, summer, holiday, etc.

Get Cr8tive!

 Many of you may have never heard of or even seen these shoes. So I'm guessing it's time for a little introduction. [lolz] They have been featured in numerous magazines, such as; Complex, Maxim, Vanity Fair, and Vogue. They truly represent their namesake, because of all the shoes that I've seen[that's a lot by the way] none are that close in comparison. They have many variations, one to fit every ones style. The most popular styles of the brand are Ceasario's and Dicoco's [funny names i know]  Ceasario's are your basic mid-tops.[pictured to your left]  Dicoco's are mid-tops as well and have two straps at the top. [pictured below] 

                                                                                          

 Cr8tive Recreations are available  in men, women, and even kids sizes. Their price tag is a bit high, as it ranges from $80-$140. But style has never been cheap, so it's worth the price. If you want to wear a shoe that no one else has than these are the answer. Personally I don't have any of these shoes [I'm currently working on it] Of all the shoes these are a pair that really show how Cr8tive you are.

Converse...I know you all love them.

 This shoe is often imitated, but never ever duplicated, it is the classic everyone know and loves, Converse. Almost everyone has at least one pair of converse, they are a simple element that can complete and outfit. This shoe has been in existence for over 100 years. I believe everyone likes them because they are available in so many different colors. They are available in every color imaginable, even ones that you wouldn't think of. If you can think of an outfit you can probably find at least one pair of Converse to match.

 

 Their popularity is driven by their simplicity. Also the fact that they allow for individuality, while still continuing to be a part of a group. People even write little anecdotes on the sides.  I predict that Converse will remain a timeless classic, connecting those old and young. They have a quality that everyone expects, but no one is disappointed.  Plus they are just really cute.

Cool Enough for the President, Nike's Air Force Ones.

Personally Air Force Ones are my favorite shoes. They are so cool that they are named after our presidents favorite mode of transportation. These wonderful shoes got their start in 1982. They were made for the basketball court, but eventually they made their way into everyday fashion. If you've ever seen me at all, you've probably seen some Air Force ones in a color that most likely matches my outfit. (They also attribute to the extreme paleness of my feet.) These were the first shoes to have an "air pack" inside the sole for comfort and cushioning. Because of their popularity, they are widely available in a variety of different color combinations. The true classics are the all white low tops.

Air Force Ones have been used to showcase many talented artists. Such as Nike's One World collection, every month they invite an artist or athlete to come and design a sneaker that represents their persona. The group of participants range in race, location, and job titles. They also make Air Force ones to honor charities, special events, holidays, and prominent people in history. Some of the different events they often celebrate are Black History Month, Valentines Day, Christmas, and St. Patrick's Day. Overall they are good shoes, nice and comfortable, they have enough styles to match your entire wardrobe, and they often support charities. What more could you ask of a shoe?
