Anyhow… We also know that our friends at Size? always go in on their exclusive releases and I’m sure you can figure out for yourselves that this drop is no exception. This time they’re bringing back another two colourways of an adidas Originals 1992 classic, the Tech Super, as part of the adidas Originals Archive Collection.
Featuring bright colours and fluorescent accents, with a mixture of ultra-soft suede body and subtle 3M panelling, these beauties would make a refreshing addition to any wardrobe.
They are priced at £80 and unfortunately for the littlest Little Soles (including myself, sob), they come in sizes UK6 – UK13. Be quick, because they are available exclusively to Size? from today, online here and from all Size? stores.
I popped into Footlocker recently to have a mooch at what goodies they had to offer for my Little Soles. To my delight, not one, not two, but three pairs of Nike Air Max 1 GS were staring me in the face.
I had a dilemma… I wanted them all. After soon realising that actually, this wasn’t such a huge dilemma, I got them all.
I had a spare pair of Reebok x Alife laces, which I think look great teamed with the subtle black-on-black safari print of these summer essentials. The blue accents and outsole of the toe area are a nice bright touch.
I’m not usually a fan of gold, or silver for that matter, on sneakers, but I’ve now figured out that this is because usually they’re metallic. The matte gold swoosh alongside the red accents have made these treats one of my favourite pairs in my collection.
The team orange accents and outsole around the toe area of these beasts made me fall in love with them instantly. Again, the use of a subtle grey-on-grey safari print is present, this time just on the swoosh, giving an extra little pop to an already-great colourway.
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.

10 years on from the release of the original, we are extremely proud to
announce the launch of our label with a selection of reworks of
Youngstar’s seminal ‘Pulse X’ featuring Visionist, Blackwax, Slackk,
Pedro 123 and Elsewhere.
Widely considered to be the first grime track ever made, ‘Pulse X’ is
one of the most important, influential and recognizable tracks the scene
has ever birthed, igniting a new wave of innovation out of the ashes of
UKG. Its sparse 808 snares and visceral, distorted bass tones would go
on to inform the direction of the embryonic genre and flow through the
tracks of hundreds of imitators in its wake right through to this day.
It is testament to the lasting impact of the track that it still
regularly draws rewinds in clubs every weekend, finding its way into the
bags of an incredibly diverse range of DJs.
With Youngstar having generously given us the parts to work on this
project as part of our remix EP series, we have now commissioned five
producers to take THAT bassline and put their own unique spin on it. The
result is this, a five-track remix EP paying homage to one of the most
important underground tracks of the last ten years and drawing
connections between one of grime’s originators and a generation of
producers influenced by him.

We have been overwhelmed by the response received since earlier this year, when Big Eyes head honcho, Yani, asked our extended Big Eyes fam, you guys, to share your sneakers with us by using the hashtag #BigEyesLittleSoles.
With almost 3,000 snaps now amongst the selection, from your beaters to your box fresh and your OGs to your holy grails, we LOVE feasting our eyes on your crepes and dishing them out for all to drool over. We can’t wait to see more over the next year as the Big Eyes crew continues to grow, but for now, here are our favourite uploads of the bunch from 2012…
