The Nike Air Force 1 ‘Year of the Dragon 3′
Another shoe to the AF1 XXX Collection, which continues strong celebrating the Air Force 1′s thirtieth anniversary this year. The Year of the Dragon 3, also known as The White Dragon, is the third sneaker in 2012 to celebrate the current sign on the Chinese zodiac, the Dragon.
Sporting a classy but subtle Dragon scale texture which covers the whole white shoe, including the leather midsole, with a reflective pearly colour on the back heel tab that also borders around the Swoosh.
As you would expect from any XXX collection sneaker, exquisite elements highlight the shoe including Mother of Pearl-style dubrets, a dragon graphic on the tongue, and the Chinese character for “dragon” embroidered on the heel as well as the “XXX” emblazoned insoles to make these trainers a thing of beauty!
Fresh to Death!
Peace & Riz!

Not so long ago, Reebok joined forces with a few inspiring ladies such as french blogger sensation Ugly Mely, singer Nneka, MTV journalist Boss Lady, illustrator Olka Osadzinska and jewelry designer Melody Ehsani to form a collaboration with each lady on the new Reebok Betwixt MID model.
The concept for the project was for each lady to incorporate their own design desires both personal & professional and life influences onto the Betwixt MID to create their own model.
I’m proud to present the Big Eyes Little Soles readers with the elegant and stylish, Ugly Mely x Reebok Betwixt MID!
As you can see, this sneaker was greatly influenced by her most frequent form of transportation, her beautiful bicycle!
Mely had this to say on her blog about her influence behind her design:
“I immediately wanted the model to be like me and my bike as I ride it in my everyday life. I imagined my Reebok model with its same lightness, delicacy and simplicity. I took my leather bar tape, a strong but marked by purple color leather, so it gives it a feminine side. I also took the cream color of my bike and choose it for the Reebok bands framework, adding a snake skin effect.“
I absolutely adore these! Really diggin’ the feminine, sleek silhouette along side the strong colours. I’d love to get hold of a pair of these beautiful sneakers and a peice of female sneaker history!
The sneakers will be presented this October (from 1st to 30th october) at the french GalleryL’imprimerie (rue St Merri, in Paris) and also be sure to check out the Ugly Mely blog for a chance to win a pair of these beauties via her facebook competition which ends October 7th! Find out more information HERE.

Peace & Love!

If like me, you’ve been massively obsessed with the Olympics over the past 2 weeks (and are severely depressed that there’s no sport on the TV at the moment) then you’ll love this!
My brother has been working ridiculously hard from a spot in the top of Westfield Stratford with some of the most creative people around to make sneakers relating to some of London 2012′s most incredible athletes.
Take a look at all of the videos here and here are a few of my favourites, including long time Big Eyes fam member Kara!
Big love to my big brother and to Kara and all the other incredible designers!
Re-upping this post from 11th July…
I couldn’t think of a witty title.. these tees are sick.. check them out!
Modeled by the lovely Lemon, these seriously are amazing. Printed on a tee weighty enough for us girls (nobody likes a see through top) and featuring our favourite girl in sneakers by Saul with the Big Eyes logo on the back, I’ll be wearing mine non stop.
For only £12 plus p&p, don’t sleep on these and get your orders in NOW! If you want one.. head over to our big cartel and get to buying!
