Another GS 90!

Posted on by

2012 really has been a good year for sneaker pick ups but a bad year for my bank account!

This release, now available from Shelta will definitely make a dent in my wallet but leave me with smiling feet!

Nike Air Max 90 GS ‘Neutral Grey/Blue/Volt’
I hate the ever changing weather in London and having a leather upper on a shoe makes life so much easier as they wipe clean in an instant. The upper on this release is made entirely from leather and the grey accents are totally offset by the white Swoosh and branding, the Volt air unit and of course the blue outsole. These are four Colours I wouldn’t normally put together but in this instance, they look just right!

From above, the shoe looks muted and toned down but to those walking next to or behind you, it will be a totally different story!

Get yours now from Shelta.

Another Size? Exclusive!

We love a Size? Exclusive, especially when it’s a version of a silhouette we often buy. This one is no exception.

Nike Air Max Light Fall 2012 Preview – Size? Exclusive

Both pairs are set to release some time this Autumn and are both amazing in their own right.

However, the grey/bordeaux colourway is definitely a favourite of mine. The deep red colour set against that luxurious looking grey suede all up next to the bright white mesh, makes this shoe the perfect finish to any outfit. That bordeaux red definitely conjures up images of an Autumn scene in my mind!
These won’t release in my size, but I’m sure some of you will be lucky enough to get your hands on them! We’ll keep you posted with updates.

Which one’s your favourite?

UPDATE: Jordan IV Ultraviolet Now Available!

Oh dayam, Nike have dropped another little sole exclusive from the Jordan Brand!

In the form of the classic Jordan IV shell with a quirky 2012 GS purple twist, these babies were made especially and exclusively for little feet (and i know a few big feet that would chop a few toes to fit in these)!

The Air Jordan Retro ‘Ultraviolet’ IV features a classic white leather upper, with ultraviolet splashed across the midsole, the inside and the eyelets to form the theme of the sneaker. Its light blend of soft grey around the toe to set these aside form any other IV. The black speckled wings have got my be my favourite part though, I have a black & purple vest top I’ve made that is a match made in heaven for these beauties!

Available NOW from retailers like Concepts.

2012 is shaping up to be a big year for the Jordan Brand with some dope retro and new releases in the pipeline. Last year we saw the return of the III’s, but this year IV is the magic number!

Peace & Riz!

It’s All In The Detail

Posted on by

Last week’s temporary taste of warm weather has sent me on a hunt to find the perfect Summer sneakers. I love block-coloured shoes and I love really fine detailing. So these kicks from Converse are right up my street!

Converse All Star Reform – Black, Grey & White

When I think of mesh, I immediately think of Nike Air Max but the All Star Hi silhouette suites mesh uppers perfectly. It’s such a light, breathable material it almost screams out Summer!

Bright, piping around the midsole keep the shoe vibrant, while the clear logo on the heel gives it a nice, clean finish.

Converse All-Star Hi ‘Panama Hat’ – Brown & Beige

Available in neutral, earthy, brown and beige colours, the Panama Hat All Stars feature woven uppers against a traditional white rubber midsole. I’ve never really been one for hats so Panama detailing on my kicks is the next best thing!

The beige installment really remind me of last year’s Tier Zero Nike x Maharam Zoom Tennis Classic!

Head over to your nearest Converse retailers to cop yours!

Two Thousand XII

You may recognise these babies from their last release at Christmas 2008, so I would like you all to give a warm, 2012 welcome to the XII pack!

The ‘Siren Red’ and ‘Cool Grey’ colourways are coming in GS sizes for little soles!

Air Jordan XII GS
Black/Siren Red
510815-008

I especially LOVE the embossed lizard skin pattern, but that would be because I am a ‘jungle girl Jane’, I love any animal inspired pattern! The construction and firmness of this sneaker is Mos Def considered to be the most comfortable and durable kicks of all the Air Jordans. For me, the XII set a new direction in style and technology in shoe design which went onto develop and merge together the XII and the XIII to create the Jordan 12.5 which I think are absolutely beautiful!

Air Jordan XII GS
Cool Grey/Team Orange-White

Keep it Big Eyes for exact release date, anticipated for May and where to cop!

For now…. Peace & Riz

GS Diamonds

Posted on by

Now, these aren’t rocks for kids.. but they are GS Diamond Turf’s!

Nike Air Diamond Turf II GS ‘Stealth’
Usually, I have this weird ‘thing’ with velcro and straps on shoes. I really can’t explain why, there’s definitely no explanation for it, but I’ve never liked them.

However.. for some strange reason, these are an exception to my ridiculous rule.

The teal additions perfectly placed next to stealth grey nubuck and white leather are, I think what makes this shoe so appealing to me. Not too many flashes of colour, but just enough to make me happy and bring the sneaker to life.

Once I find out who the UK/EU stockists are, I’ll definitely let you know.. for now, get yours instore or by phone here.

Viva Calypso

Yes yes y’all!

With Spring now upon us, it’s time for the S/S Nike releases to start flooding out.

Here we have the latest Huarache colour way, Light Bone/Soft Grey/Calypso. These are hands down my favourite colourway of all the Huarache Free 2012 releases so far, the teal/turquoise colour is gorgeous and really reminiscent of an OG Nike release. The soft neutral tones are lifted by the hint of colour through the side and bank panels, making for a very well put together colourway indeed. Although I’m not all that keen on the free sole, I think these babies more than make up for any reservations I may have and these will be a surefire cop for me.

Cop yours from End on pre-order now, or from your regional Nike retailers in April!

Peace and love,

Tash

Pigeon Scoop…

Wordy word!

The kicks I’m about to talk about are so hot, they deserve one of those stickers you see at takeaways warning you not to touch the counter. They are absolutely smoking….

These Nike Dunk Low SB “Pigeon” inspired custom VIs created by Impeccable Scoop are mind-bogglingly gorgeous. The original shoe released in 2005 is something to behold, but these have REALLY stepped it up a notch for me. The soft pink and grey tones compliment each other perfectly and are so true to the OG, plus the fact they are combined with one of my favourite Jordan silhouettes make these an instant grail.

If anyone out there fancies buying me a cheeky £200 Valentine’s gift, these should be it!

Cop yours here, very limited stock available!

Peace and love,

Tash
