Tash’s latest pickups May 2013 edition

Nike Air Force 180 Mid ‘Dream Team’ 2012

Ever since these beasts dropped last summer I’ve been desperate to get my mitts on them, finally nearly a year on I managed to bag them off eBay for a small sum. I love this silhouette an insane amount, plus I’m overly excited about wearing the same kicks that Charles Barkley did during the 1992 Olympics. These are now a firm favourite in my collection.

Nike Air Force 180 Mid ‘Phoenix Suns’ 2012

These are another colourway that I was hoping to pick up last year but missed due to being away for 5 months. The contrast between the speckled midsole and all black upper is so dope and these shoes really stand out for me.

Beaches of Rio Pack Nike Air Max 90 EM 2013

These kicks speak for themselves, this whole pack was pretty ill but these stood out to me over the Air Max 1s as I feel the 1s look slightly odd without any kind of panneling. These AM90s are the perfect summer colourway with the engineered mesh material making them light and breathable for those hot summer days. These are a real neck breakers and I can’t wait for sunnier weather to give these their first outing.

Nike Air Huarache LE ACG Pack 2007

I’ve have been coveting this colourway since I peeped someone wearing them on instagram a couple of years ago, I finally managed to pick them up from @jkdptg on instagram in VNDS condition. You should all know by now that I can’t resist a speckled sole and the teal/yellow clash really sets these off.

That’s all for this installment, show us your latest pickups by hitting us up on twitter at @bigeyeslittlesoles  or by tagging #bigeyeslittlesoles on instagram.

Peace and love,

Holly’s Latest Pick Up

It was round about last month that I was on the hunt for my pair of ‘Summer kicks”. The sun finally turned out for pretty much all of us in the UK, guaranteed thoughts turned to our wardrobe! My eyes were peeled all over the place, then I suddenly had thoughts of my last TRUSTY pair of AM90′s that I’d sold after literally living in them the whole of summer 2012. All these memories just rushing back! Decision made, 90′s Summer crepes need to be got!

Next day I see this posted by Wellgosh

Telling all the ladies they’ve got size 3-6, so I had to share that on the Big Eyes Facebook page.

The colourways on these are just silly jazzy, all three elidgable for a purchase. Now, I am incredibly lucky with my shoe size UK 6 – the most average plain sailing, level pegging, loving life sized feet you’re going to meet. I can get most releases if I want. Unfortunately being a pauper art student, I can’t strictly afford all the crepes I’d love to, as it’s usually spent on hundreds of rolls of film, sketchbooks and all that malarkey.

About a week later, I visited Selfridges in the Bullring, had a little meander round, of course  going to the Offspring concession (Birmingham being my home town). They had the 90′s of choice in. I had to buy them straight away, no hesitation! Do they fit me? Yes, thank you here’s my money, and a student discount? Thank you very much!

The speckeled base on the toe box and around the ankle and the camo colours really fit in well with other colour schemes I wear.  They had both the ice blue and the metallic silver, but I HAD to go with the camo ones. Both available at Wellgosh still, from sizes 3-6 (links above).

Here they are in action, at my studio space! Infamous furniture in there also!

We love seeing your pick ups just as much as we love to wear ours, so tweet us @BigEyesLittleSoles and @ us on Insta @BigEyesLittleSoles

Peaceeee

Nike Air Max 90 – Women’s Release

Ladies… keep your eyes peeled for these delectable delights! I love the choice of colour palette used for this release of the classic silhouette, but then again that’s not unusual – I don’t think I’ve come across many pairs of AM90s that I haven’t wanted to add to my collection!

A mixture of blue suede mudguard, black leather overlay and metallic grey mesh upper, teamed with yellow eyelets and outsole alongside the neat purple branding, create a perfect combination for something a little different on one of Nike’s most popular sneakers.

Due for release in December, these could be a perfect seasonal gift to yourself, or boys, don’t hesitate to treat the lady in your life. Stay with Big Eyes for further information on when and where to cop these beauties!

Keep on tagging your photos #BigEyesLittleSoles and send them to us on Instagram @BigEyesLittleSoles, Twitter @BigEyesLilSoles or Facebook Big Eyes Little Soles, so that we can see the heat on your feet!

Safe!

Caught Slippin’

OK, guys, I’m kind of handing this post over to all of you out there because I need some advice.

Here’s the situation: I’m most definitely an Air Max girl, but there is one thing that REALLY bothers me about wearing them: often, the tongues slip down to the sides as I wear the shoe, mainly with AM1s, AM Lights and AM90s. For instance, I went to the gym at 10am today, in my ultimate AM90 beaters, with the tongues dead centre nevertheless, and when I got home this is the state they were in:


null

I asked on Twitter a while back if anybody knew what to do about it & the basic response was to lace up tighter. Trust me when I say the AM90s above were laced up tighter than bowling shoes until this morning, when I loosened them up a bit to run this experiment. The super tight lacing looked pretty stupid and it made the shoes uncomfortabe. It definitely doesn’t happen with all Air Max styles; the ones with puffier tongues tend to sit in place better, and it’s definitely not always so it’s not always an issue. But I’m curious, does it happen with other sneakers from different brands with similar silhouettes to the to the Air Max 1/Light/90?Surely somebody out there can tell me, how do I get around this. What’s the answer to my dilemma? Any ideas? Leave me a comment on here or Tweet me & let me know if it happens to you and/or what to do about it.

Until next time…
