Release Reminder – Supreme x Nike SB Dunk Low

OOSH! Look at these beauties – these are definitely ones for the true sneakerheads!

To celebrate 10 years since Supreme’s first collaboration with Nike SB, the dynamic duo have teamed up again to bring you these babies. Inspired by all things Nike and all things FRE$H, these Nike SB Dunk Lows represent Supreme to the fullest as well as paying homage to this heavenly collaboration.

The ‘Supreme X Nike SB Dunk Low’ comes to us presented in the classic BRED (black and red for those of you who arn’t familiar with the term, and if you’re not, slap yourself now!) with the ever so popular elephant print, inspired by the Jordan III’s. If you copped the 2 other pairs of Supreme x Nike Dunk Lows, you’ll know that they are considered one of the best SB’s of all time, but I think these are probably going to tip the scale.

Available from Supreme’s stores in London, New York & Los Angeles as well as the on-line store TODAY (or 21st for all our visitors reading from Japan)!

These are going to be hot hot hot to get hold of, so if anyone gets a cop, be sure to tweet to @BigEyesLilSoles and instagram tag #bigeyeslittlesoles so we can see em’!

Word em’ uP!

Nike ID Unleash The Spiz’ike…

As of yesterday, the guys & girls over at Nike ID unleashed the beast!


‘A hybrid of classic Air Jordan kicks, the Jordan Spiz’ike pays tribute to Spike Lee’s Mars Blackmon by combining iconic elements of the Air Jordan III, IV, V, VI and XX. The design may be a mash-up, but starting today, the style is now yours to customize on NIKEiD with a lineup of material, color and outsole options.’

Six different colors of elephant print and four different translucent outsole colors are available to customize the Jordan Spiz’ike iD. Also available to customize in a variety of colors: the mudguard, plastic ankle strap and most importantly, even the Jumpman logo! You can also choose to have the classic ‘Mars – Mike’ on the lacelets or customise your own!

Unfortunately they start at a UK 6 so not amazing news for little soles, but still a step in the right direction! I’m a 5.5 so a thick pair of socks and they’ll be snug as a bug!

Check out my design below….



My highlights about the whole ID experience have to be:
- The creativity element and flexibility of the design process, making it your personal prototype!
- Choosing between a rubber or translucent rubber outsole, a good range of colours to choose from on the soles.
- Deciding which Elephant print laces to use, you can also opt to receive free regular laces!
- If you don’t like it, you can start over or apply tweaks where you desire, after all it is your personal prototype ;)

Priced at £150.00, head over to NIKEiD.com for more information and to create your own Jordan Spiz’ike iD!

Don’t forget it doesn’t cost a penny to play on Nike ID! So get your creative vibes flowing and send us a picture of YOUR Spiz’ike art to @BigEyesLilSoles

Peace!

Latest Pick Ups… Free Run 2s & Jordan IVs

Got some new kicks this week and thought I’d share my thoughts on them, and any excuse to test my new mini fish eye for my iPhone :)

Nike Freerun 2′s
I’ve been needing a new pair of running trainers for a while now, and I’ve only been putting off the running because of the shoes, so I bit the bullet and invested! I know, I know… not my usual steez…..me… in pink?!
I am absolutely bloody loving these! They are the lightest thing I’ve ever put on my feet! Its literally like walking on air. The mould of the sole allows for extra flexibility which I feel working my legs to take a next step, which in turn makes running feel effortless! I can tell these trainers are going to be the difference between finish running up that hill and dragging my legs up it.


I quite like the colours too, a black breathable base with a charcoal black cage and hot pink lining and laces, not usually my choice of colours but I think if these were multicoloured I’d still run in them, so comfortable!

Air Jordan IV ‘Cement’
I know, I know…. I’m a bit behind on these, but only because I’ve been awaiting payday!

They’re Jordans so you all know I could bang on about them all day, so I’ll keep it short and sweet for a change and let the photos do the talking.
CLASSIC!

Everyone Loves Cake….

So with spring in full effect, I thought why not start off the fresh month of April with a sweet treat!

As some of you may have guessed from my name ‘Lemon Cake’, I like cake, ALOT! I did do a ‘Little Lemon Cakery’ blog last year but the cakes all got too much to juggle with the rest of my life! So for now, that side of my life is dormant but I still enjoy baking at weekends, for friends birthdays, occasions and looking at other peoples amazing creations!

Here I have collated a list of my favourite sneaker related cakes from over the last couple of years for you guys to enjoy….

MJ’s JORDAN IV BIRTHDAY CAKE

Perhaps the oldest Sneaker Cake in the history of sneaker cakes, was Michael Jordan’s Air Jordan 4 Cake that was presented to him by his Madukes and Pops back in 89′!

TIFFANY NIKE SB DUNK BIRTHDAY CAKE


Sneakerhead Matt Jae from LA celebrated in fashion in December 2011 with an incredibly accurate Nike ‘Tiffany’ SB replica cake! My personal favourite SB too!

AIR JORDAN 11 BLACK/RED GROOM’S WEDDING CAKE

Now this one has to be my absolute favourite! It was made my Texas based Sandia Horng aka @WhiskThis and this was actually her first ever sneaker cake, can you believe it!

“The Bride wanted to surprise her fiancée Mike with an awesome Grooms Cake for their wedding and came up with this idea. She said that this was Mike’s absolute favorite sneaker! We talked about several concepts but in the end she gave me full trust on the whole design. So I made an Air Jordan sneaker shoe box along with the shoe to display in front of the box.” – Sandia Horng



She is a really talented lady so make sure you check her blog out here!

Nike Air Foamposite One “Dark Neon Royal” & ‘Galaxy’ Birthday Cakes


Feast your eyes pon’ deez! I had to look a few times and check that this actually was a cake because it looks so close to the real thing its scary!

Galaxy
And again another Foamposite but this time in the form of the recently hyped ‘Galaxy’. These also look too real to be edible! As a fellow baker, I know I need work on my icing modelling techniques, and I’d LOVE to know how to create the galaxy print effect!



I dont know about you but I’d love to dig into this French vanilla flavoured freshness, made by ‘Made Fresh Daily Cakes’

Enjoy your cake with a slice of Farma G & tweet us your sneaker cakes to @bigeyeslilsoles!

Peace & CAKE!

SABINE, COURTNIE AND ALICE’S TRAINER-CLAD AMAZINGNESS
Containing three girls, six feet, a buncha kicks, a few sofas and very little in the way of sensible clothing. Amongst other things, it features cover girl Sabine eating a bowl of shoelaces. Think about that for a sec. Eating a bowl of shoelaces. Have you ever seen that before? There’s also our Trainer Meltdown feature, with a ton of shoes so awesome, they almost already have feet in ‘em.”

‘Raging Bull’ Spiz’ike Hype…

After seeing the recent ‘Bordeaux’ Spiz’ike release in February and the Knicks colourways in November 2011, were in for another Spike Lee inspired treat this year!
The ‘Raging Bull’ pack presents the classic Red/Black colourway that seems to making more than one Retro appearance this year!

I particularly like the black details, not forgetting the classic cement feature and the soft grey on the eyelets and lining on the inside.

I love these, Red is my favourite colour and will go with everything in my wardrobe. Red/Black/White is my bread and butter! These babies are definaly going to go down a storm with Bulls fans!

Keep following Big Eyes for news including when and where to cop these!

Peace & Riz
