Bee’s Latest Pick-ups

Posted on May 14, 2013 by beeunreal

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.

Have you copped any new kicks lately?! Use #BigEyesLittleSoles and send us your snaps on Instagram @BigEyesLittleSoles, Twitter @BigEyesLilSoles or Facebook Big Eyes, Little Soles.

Nike Air Max 1 FB ‘Leopard’ Pack

Posted on May 14, 2013 by wiseowlpr

Nike have treated us AGAIN with the up and coming release of the Air Max FB ‘Leopard’ pack. The pack includes two colour-ways (blue and orange) that both feature a suede upper with an all-over leopard print and a neon sole; two trends we’ve seen a lot of over the past few months.

I’ll definitely be aiming to get my hands on the orange pair. Keep your eyes peeled for a confirmed release date soon.

Nike x Liberty

Posted on May 10, 2013 by wiseowlpr

Nike have treated us all again with another Liberty collaboration, this time covering some timeless Nike silhouettes with iconic floral prints ‘Capel’ and ‘Pepper’ from the Liberty fashion house. The beloved Air Max 1, Roshe Run and Blazed Mid have all been updated with the floral prints just in time for summer.

The selection are also available to customise over on Nike iD with a larger size run and the option of more colours and accents for the same price as the standard collection.

Posted on May 9, 2013 by lemonsneaks

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.

Chloe Ws Latest Pickups.

Posted on March 6, 2013 by wiseowlpr

Recently I’ve bought a few new pairs of trainers; Nike Air Max 1 Engineered Mesh ‘City Pack’ and both of the Nike Huarache OG retros.

Nike AM1 Engineered Mesh:
I bought these on a bit of a whim. I had some left over Christmas money and saw these in Size? and just went for it without really deciding on whether I liked them or not. It’s taken a while but I’ve definitely come round to really liking this pair. The leather mudguard is really good quality, much better than I have seen on a lot of the recent Air Max 1 releases. The shape is also a lot better than most of the recent releases, and I can’t resist a speckled sole!

Nike Huarache LE ‘OG’ Retro:

I’m just really not sure on whether I’m particularly bothered about these huaraches. Maybe I’ll come round to them soon, I just think that the stitching is really off in places, which makes them look cheap. There’s also some glue marks in areas – think i’ll use them for beaters!

I also picked these huaraches up a while back at the beginning of February. Gonna clean them up really good and give them to my boyfriend. Another great eBay bargain!

Nike ‘Year Of The Snake’ Pack

Posted on February 17, 2013 by beeunreal

Out to the Little Soles… this one is strictly for you! Nike are continuing to celebrate the Year of the Snake in 2013 with two classic styles released in a striking snake skin theme.

A little insight into the Chinese lunar calendar… it states that those born in the Year of the Snake possess an infatuation with all things beautiful in life; which is clearly a fitting inspiration for this stunning collection. For obvious reasons, I am going to let the photos do the majority of the talking…

First up from the double pack we have one of Nike’s running icons, the Air Max 1:

Secondly is the Nike Dunk Sky Hi; a subtle lift in the heel of this classic court gives a feminine element to the sneaker game:

The pack is available in sizes UK3 – 6 and is available now at select Nike Sportswear locations globally.

If you are lucky enough to cop these we want to know! Keep on tagging your photos #BigEyesLittleSoles and send them to us on Instagram @BigEyesLittleSoles, Twitter @BigEyesLilSoles or Facebook Big Eyes, Little Soles.

I’m in a good mood:

A Treat For Small Feet!

Posted on January 5, 2013 by beeunreal

Yooo LADIES (and gentlemen)… For those of you that have been hitting up Big Eyes for a while, you may have noticed that I tend to fall in love with sneakers quiet often. To our new fam, welcome, and this is something you will become familiar with.

When I first saw these online I really wasn’t sure that I’d be keen on the vintage finish of the tongue on both colourways, the pink midsole of the first pair, or the shiny blue coloured leather of the others, but as the AM1 is one of my favourite silhouettes, I decided not to rule them out until I’d seen them in the flesh.

As I stepped inside Wellgosh last week, my eyes lit with joy as I clocked both pairs side by side and I think I actually skipped across the store like an over-excited child to these BEASTS! YES, I DID, I FELL IN LOVE AGAIN, INSTANTLY. The OG Nike label and the almost pearlescent leather give these treats that extra special something that, personally, I adore!

Nike Air Max 1 VNTG WMNS

Available from a UK3 – 6, you can pick these beauties up from our friends at Wellgosh, either instore in Leicester, or on their website here and here.

If you cop these, let us know! Keep on tagging your photos #BigEyesLittleSoles and send them to us on Instagram @BigEyesLittleSoles, Twitter @BigEyesLilSoles or Facebook Big Eyes, Little Soles.

Finally, here is a little musical something for your ears:
