Roshe Run iD

I’ll let the above image speak for itsself! Finally… Now, is the time you can make your very own, totally unique, perfect pair of Roshe Runs!

 For the smaller footed fiends out there, you’ve got your pick of the crop with both kids and women’s sizes available.
Choose from a full mesh upper or add some suede, if you feel like giving your kicks a premium feel. I can’t tell you what colourways to go for but one thing I will say is that the lunarlon sole, cushioned collar and EVA foam outsole will all work together to make your feet super comfortable.

If you look through all my sneakers, you won’t find a pair of Roshe’s YET… But come payday, I think I’ll have to invest in some…

Get yours here and tweet/tag us in pics of your creations!

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!

Chloe Ws Latest Pickups.

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:
IMG_0457 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:
IMG_0573
IMG_0572 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!

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!

Liminal Sounds Label Launch with Youngstar, Visionist, Blackwax & More!

YOUNGSTAR
/PULSE X REMIXES/
LIMINAL SOUNDS – LMNL001

Remixes from:
Visionist – Blackwax
Slackk – Pedro 123 – Elsewhere

Release Date: 21.01.13
Format: 12” / Digital Download

10 years on from the release of the original, we are extremely proud to
announce the launch of our label with a selection of reworks of
Youngstar’s seminal ‘Pulse X’ featuring Visionist, Blackwax, Slackk,
Pedro 123 and Elsewhere.

Widely considered to be the first grime track ever made, ‘Pulse X’ is
one of the most important, influential and recognizable tracks the scene
has ever birthed, igniting a new wave of innovation out of the ashes of
UKG. Its sparse 808 snares and visceral, distorted bass tones would go
on to inform the direction of the embryonic genre and flow through the
tracks of hundreds of imitators in its wake right through to this day.
It is testament to the lasting impact of the track that it still
regularly draws rewinds in clubs every weekend, finding its way into the
bags of an incredibly diverse range of DJs.

With Youngstar having generously given us the parts to work on this
project as part of our remix EP series, we have now commissioned five
producers to take THAT bassline and put their own unique spin on it. The
result is this, a five-track remix EP paying homage to one of the most
important underground tracks of the last ten years and drawing
connections between one of grime’s originators and a generation of
producers influenced by him.

A. Pulse X (Visionist Remix)
AA. Pulse X (Blackwax Remix)
