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.

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.

Creative Recreation Shoes

Friday, August 8th, 2008

Creative Recreation ShoesWe all understand that new types of shoes come out almost on a daily basis. In fact, I cant walk down the street or watch TV without seeing a new edition shoe being advertised. Some look good, some not so much, but over all I think that Creative Recreation Shoes have some of the best designs on the market. For people with a sense of style, Creative Recreation throws together an eclectic mix of what could best be described as a casual shoe meets imagination meets an edge. Personally I dig the Creative Recreation Dechico style in the white/maroon/khaki/navy color scheme (though offered in 15 diff colors). This is an extremely comfortable pair as they are lightweight and have a removable padded insole for a custom fit. The Dechico’s are constructed out of premium suede and have a kid leather upper for breath-ability , and also use a mesh lining for superior long wearing comfort. This style of Creative Recreation Shoes are a perfect way to get noticed both in the office, or during those first few weeks back on campus! Check out the variety of CR Shoes at Zappos.com.

Teva Halyard 2 Boating Sandal

Monday, July 21st, 2008

Teva Halyard 2 Boating SandalSandals are a perfect way to keep feet cool and happy in the summer in the summer heat. Unfortunately, with summer comes water, and with water comes notoriously slippery sandals. In order to help prevent loosing traction Teva has created the Men’s Halyard 2 Boating Sandal. This highly comfortable sandal comes in sizes 7-14 and uses a “Shoc Pad Heel;” for superior shock absorption and a compression EVA midsole which has a natural foot contour. The most important aspect to this pair, is their ability to promote superior traction even under the wettest conditions. Featuring a “spider rubber” outsole for superior grip, multi directional grooves cut in to displace water at opposite angles, thereby improving stability even further. The outsole is also non marking so there will never be any scuff marks left on a boat deck, and there is an included anti microbial agent included within the rubber itself to halt bacteria growth and potential smell. A clean looking pair, the Teva Men’s Halyard 2 Boating Sandal uses very earthy tones of khakis, browns, off whites, and of course the Teva symbol for a classy finishing touch.

Puma French 77

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

Puma French 77The Puma French 77 Shoes are some of the hottest styles of Puma on todays market. Offered in 13 distinct colors (green on white, black/blue on white, and red on white to name a few), each is dedicated to a sporty/modern twist of the old school Puma GV Special. The major difference between the two styles is that the 77 has a crisper, more streamlined look and feel. These shoes have a very smooth nubuck (very soft leather) upper, and a perfed toe box of varying colors which then connects to the clean rubber outsole. An extremely comfortable shoe, the French 77 style always fits true to size and will offer the type of foot support you are looking for from the get go. A nice little benefit to this pair is that they are also very easy to clean if they do wind up scuffing, and are not as slim fitting as some of the other sporty styles by Puma. Overall, the Puma French 77 Shoes are a perfect everyday shoe and come in enough styles for anyone to look good.
