Big Daddy Black Sheep

Posted on by

There’s a new sneaker store in Manchester City centre!

You may remember back in October I posted some news, bringing you a new sneaker / skate shop to sunny old Stockport… Well now The Black Sheep have just opened another store in the centre of Manchester!

Located conveniently between Dr. Hermans and Bench in the Northern Quarter, right where the Vans store used to be. The Black Sheep store bring shoe styles like; DC, Fallen, Etnies, Supra, Vans and clothing Brands such as Diamond x Grizzly, Heel Bruise, Neff, Primitive, Dephect and more.

Being 1 of 7 stores in the entire country to stock the Vans Syndicate range makes the store definitely one to visit, for your Syndicate cops!

Sunday 5th May held the mighty, Big Daddy Kane appearance in store for the opening day! It was a great day, full of pretty sneaker wearing girls, skaters, friends and the rest of the street. Performances from Dr. Syntax and Shotty Horrah warmed up the Mic before Big Daddy Kane stepped into the shop, kicked a freestyle for the old school heads and then had a one-on-one interview with Televised.

Here’s a few photos from the day! Shouts to Prankin Photography & C M Taylor Photography for the images below.

Peace and Love!

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!

Yani’s Latest Pick Up

I’ve been looking to branch out and add some more brands to my repertoire and then these beauties caught my eye!

I literally haven’t been able to take them off, they’re so comfy and they look SO good on. With a similar sort of silhouette to the AM1, I found it easy to get used to looking down over these.

Adidas Originals Women’s Tech Super


It’s impossible to take them off, super supportive and really comfy! It’s frsutrating when the pattern doesn’t go with my outift! For once, the laces on these kicks aren’t massively long… Finally a brand has realised that smaller feet need shorter laces! Thanks Adidas!

Now to see if I can pick up the lighter pair anywhere!

Big eyes, really really little soles…. Now this is one for the teenie tiny feet, so Mum’s and Dad’s break out the wallet for the coolest kicks your toddler will ever wear!

I know a lot of girls and guys are going to be jealous because these aren’t for feet any bigger than a Kids UK10…. but I found these too damn cute to resist sharing with you! Man how I wish I was toddler size 4-10….

A good one for any Mum’s lookin’ to step up their baba’s sneaker game. I know if I was a toddler with monkies, panda’s and dinosaurs on my feet I would have been dancing before I was walking.

You Can cop these on sale at any Vans Store or online at www.blacksheepstore.co.uk…. man  I wish I had tiny baby feet! There are also a few more animal style-ways for spring 2013 including a black panther and a zebra! So, so dope.

Mama’s and Papa’s instagram / tweet a picture of your toddler in these if you have em’! instagram: @bigeyeslittlesoles / twitter: @bigeyeslilsoles would be great to see em’ in action.

Peace & Love!

The Adidas Original fam have bought you another camo-tacular Superstar II colour-way in the form of the ‘Desert Camo’.

Fresh to death as ever, The Superstar II silhouette holds a Desert Camo upper with white shell toe and sole. The black laces and black leather back really compliment the classic black 3 stripes. This shoe also holds a bit more of a premium taste with a tan/brown Adidas logo on the tongue.

Check out some more detailed images below…

Check your nearest Adidas Originals retailer for more information on when and where to cop these in the UK or check out Kinetics Tokyo. If you do manage to cop these, make sure you instagram / tweet a pic tagging #bigeyeslittlesoles into it!

Peace & Love sneakerheads!
