Samein Johnson had a vision. A shoe that people could wear to the clubs. A shoe that he could wear to work and still be able to run to catch the train. This shoe would have the comfort of the sneakers he loved and voila! Krazi Junction was born!
Krazi Junction is dress sport. This is how the dress shoe and the sneaker met and married. It performs like a sneaker, but looks like a dress shoe. It’s all about comfort[.....]

Yums is one of the most recognized brands in hip hop. Their sassy smiling face beams from the caps and kicks of artists such as Soulja Boy Tellem, Sean Kingston, Bone Thugs N Harmony, Lil’ Wayne, Snoop Dogg. I was able to speak with Chris Parker from Yums at MAGIC.
Chris walked us through the history of their brand. It’s only been about three years since they began shipping. They started off primarily as a footwear brand but it has now[.....]

I’m a silver kind of guy. I mean, the term “golden” is something you wish to aim for but me, I’m a silver and platinum guy. I love the way it looks and goes with anything. Nothing silver ever looks bad – seriously! And regardless of what you think about silver, by no means does it mean “second place”. This point can be better illustrated by Nike’s release of their Air Jordan 25th Silver Anniversary Collection. Silver on white… simply[.....]

Or as I call them “Hooker Boots.” No offense intended of course, but I first got acquainted with these kinds of boots when “Pretty Woman” came out.  The association stuck. But boots that go up over the knee and call attention to those juicy thighs are not just for prostitutes anymore! Now civilian women can rock this mega-hot footwear.
Over the knee boots look great with skinny jeans or leggings, but if you want to go for super hot pair them[.....]

Vans introduces a new line of shoes that sport boot soles for their upcoming Fall 2009 season. The Vans Switchback  is a fusion of the classic shoe look with the rugged boot sole should really make for an authentic “street” wear experience. The look combines a classic sneaker style with that of a more traditional boot silhouette. For shoe enthusiasts, details of this product include a Black coated canvas/leather upper with contrasting red hiking boot laces and gum midsoles. You[.....]

Man oh man, how many times have I had a debate over which sneakers are hotter. Nike? Adidas? Puma? LeBron’s? D Wade’s? The list goes on and on. Daily, I search the web to find the latest styles that I think our readers will like and when I come across a source that even makes me go ‘Wow’, I have to give props. The website SneakerFreaker.com lays it out pretty well for all of the shoe-crazy world. If you’re a[.....]

So, here’s the thing. I love vintage clothes. I love finding some piece of original style and incorporating it into my modern wardrobe. You can find some of the most unique and wonderful accessories and outfits at antique shops or thrift stores. What I don’t love is paying full price, getting something brand new, and having it look old. It just seems completely insincere.
But these Nike Vintage Running shoes look good, I can’t deny it.
Who’s to know that they aren’t[.....]

Man, these photos are sick. I mean sick! Look at them. Adidas has been working over time to prep for the 2008 Beijing Olympics and has me floored. I am a sucker for good advertising and when done well it brings the art form to another level all its own. And this time the winner is Adidas. The original kings of urban lifestyle fashion from way back in the day, Adidas has brought us so many fresh styles over the[.....]

Who wasn’t cooler than Marty McFly when he flew on that hovercraft in “Back To The Future”? Every kid in school wanted one and wanted to be like him. Also, we wanted the fly McFly gear – his shoes. The Nike designed high-tops that McFly sported in “Back To The Future” – known as The Marty McFly 2015’s Nike Hyperdunks will be re-released this year.
Is this what the future holds? If so, then sign me on. I mean there are[.....]
