oakleyThe summer may be almost up, but that sun will be shining just as bright in the winter. For a great pair of clean, crisp, and comfortable specs, the Oakley Square Wire Sunglasses are always in perfect 4 season style. This set uses High Definition Optics for unsurpassed clarity (even in the peripherals) as well as an overall ultra lightweight alloy frame for all day comfort. For extra precession in terms of vision quality, this pair of Oakley’s also has polarized lenses in order to virtually destroy the glare off of water, snow, ice, or pavement. Expected to be worn by active adults, Oakley knows you don’t want a pair of sunglasses falling off your face, or constantly needing adjustments.

Air Force 25 League Pack

Friday, August 15th, 2008

NikeAfter 25 years of military service, Nike has decided to revamp the old, and release a modern edition of the Air Force 25 League Pack CC. O.K over all this shoe is pretty much as stylish as it gets. It is a sleek, soft, and much more supportive shoe than its 1st generation counterpart as it incorporates a seamless leather upper, and perfectly contoured panels. This specific model roles out with a White/Varsity Royal Blue/Red alternating color scheme for a real 80’s nostalgia, but has a few new age technologies within its guts. The inside of the Air Force 25 is really where things go commando in terms of being a responsive shoe. A Carbon fiber shank is placed in the mid section for stability, while the cupsole has a Zoom Air unit sitting on top of the Air Sole heel to really absorb some harsh amounts of shock. For added traction and style points, the bottom of the Nike Air Force 25 is plastered with thin coating of clear rubber outsole which uses pivot circles on the heel and forefoot. The Air Force 25 League Pack Shoe is a great modern twist on a design first made popular back in hay day, it is only offered in 16 different styles…..

Via Spiga Sandals

Thursday, August 14th, 2008

via spigaIt is true, some of the gladiator sandals in this season are hideous examples of fashion trying to reinvent the middle ages. Just put them around Russell Crowe’s ankles, and all the lions will no doubt run away!! But I must admit, media has its powerful influence; you just need to see the images over and over and you are stung. To be honest, some examples of the leather wrap are noteworthy featured in these shoes are actually noteworthy. This version of Via Spiga’s Woman Undo is a smart example of how not all gladiator shoes are created equally. Here we have a pattern which is a fun black and white giraffe, a far cry from any domestic animal from Rome. The shoe’s ankle wrap design also commands attention because it is reminiscent of the modern and innovative architectural design of Beijing’s new Olympic Stadium, The Bird’s Nest. A great overall sandal, you can wear them either as casual street look during the day with a pair of jeans, or you can put them on (or off) easily for a hot cocktail date. The flat heal and leather topped foot bed with heal pad allow for comfort even allow for wild dancing all night long. The round toe thong post might take a bit getting used to, but together with a fun nail polish color, it will definitely pay off in the end. The Via Spiga Undo comes in size 6.5 only. Now it’s up to the gladiator to find his fitting Cinderella match.

GoLite Clothing

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

goliteFor an ideal base layer or stand alone article of fall season apparel, there is not much better on the market then a piece of GoLite Clothing. Offered in both Men’s and women’s cuts, this particular Golite long sleeve shirt is sold in a multitude of colors and is meant specifically for active performance. Created from The Cocona fabric (polyester which is environmentally safe), the layers of cloth uses activated carbon from discarded coconut shells allowing it to have an SPF rating of +50. Because of its origins, this very special material will keep the user dry, and smell free regardless of how many times the clothing is used. This is thanks to the activated coconut carbon which will never wash out and actually helps to wick away moisture 50% faster than the leading polyester material. Washing instructions are pretty easy for GoLite Clothing. Basically just rinse under water or throw in the dryer in order to remove any type of dirt or sweat residue. Given the Green Gear of the Year Award in 2007, Golite cloth will keep you warm when it’s cool, cool when it’s warm, and smell free when you really need to be.
