Dim Sum

I know I love food but this post will only loosely be tied to my favourite hobby (eating)!

Last week, I arrived at work to find a rather intriguing looking brown parcel on my desk. After opening it, with a huge Christmas style grin on my face, I unearthed these beauties.

PUMA x Hypebeast Blaze LTWT “Har Gao” White/Hot Coral/Cream

The Puma x Hypebeast Blaze of Glory LTWT, with its shrimp camo, seeping out through the sheer upper, really do stand out. A perfect Summer runner, I can’t wait to give these a go (weather permitting)!

Something which I have been missing a lot lately, is a running shoe which is unashamedly ‘not super lightweight’ and supportive. When I was training on a more serious scale back in the early 2000′s, there was no such thing as barefoot running and we always looked for the most supportive and hard-wearing runners, to assist us throughout our training sessions and street runs. These are just that!

The Puma and Hypebeast engraved chop sticks with the dim sum steamer bag, really finished off this release for me, making them super special and extra tasty!

Big love to the Puma guys for sending me these, what a lovely Friday gift!

Get yours here, here or here!

 

Everything Is Purple…

We all remember the New Balance x Sneaker Freaker ‘Tassie Devil’ release that sent sneaker heads queuing round the block in March… well….. now the Sneaker Freaker fam have unveiled a fresh, new colorway of the Air Max 1.

Flexing an suede upper sporting 3 different shades of purple and a classic white midsole these babies really are a sight for sore eyes.

Stay locked to Big Eyes Little Soles for further release information…

Peace & Love!

Adidas Originals zx 8000

It was in one of my very first, if not THE first blog posts, featured in the ‘Sheffield Crep Hunt’ that I first noticed these beauties. The shape, the colour, mesmerising.

This running trainer has been around since the 80’s (specific year and dates open to speculation), if you hadn’t already guessed by merely the appearance.

After having made the decision to definitely save up and cop them, I discovered they’d been moved from my branch of Offspring because they weren’t selling?!?! Now this I found a crazy situation. Having one of the most interesting forms and colourways on the shelves at the time. A little different from the Adidas originals that had been saturating other media as well. But no, definitely sent to London :( .
Ever since this I’ve been waiting, and watching for another release to get my little hands on.

2010 Spring/Summer release

 

2011 Spring Black Spark

2011 Ultra clean Black Leather

2011 Winter White Super Green Collegiate

2011 Atmos x Addidas

2012 Summer release

A few days ago I got my wish!! Size? are set to release an all time favorite. Yet to announce exactly which one.

Ladies, I hope you’re excited as I am about this, and keep those eyes peeled.

Jazz It Up

The lovely guys over at Saucony sent me a little gift a few weeks back and I have to say, I’m loving it!

Saucony Womens Jazz Original ‘Navy/Pink/White’



Walking in these blue babies, is like walking on clouds… They’re super comfortable and literally made my feet SO happy!

I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about the pink within them but I feel it is a good addition to an otherwise seemingly masculine shoe. With a similarity in silhouette to that of a few others that I own, it didn’t take too much getting used to when looking down onto them – (which is usually make or break for me when trying something new).

Overall, the perfect Spring sneakers. Even my ridiculously girly worries about them clashing hugely with my love for all things black has gone out the window. Now bring on the sunshine, I wanna wear these everywhere!

Get yours here.

Nike SB x Skate Mental Dunk Hi LR “Rollerblades”

Heads up fruit-booters……

The lovely folks over at Nike SB certainly aren’t slowing down their collaborations for 2013! They have teamed up with the ‘Skate Mental’ for an unique take on the Dunk Hi LR.

The entirely white upper is complete with inline skate graphics (no particular brand, just a standard UFS frame). The midsole has the wheels emblazoned on either side and the heel gets a dab of embossing with the Skate Mental brand name. Even the strap resembles a rollerblade strap!

Check out some more detailed images below! A definite pick up for any rollerblader to have on their wall.

Will you be picking up these Dunk LR’s? They are set to arrive this month in select stockists worldwide. Let us know what you think! tag us into your pics if you cop these #bigeyeslittlesoles

Peace & Love from a fellow rollerblader!
