Big Daddy Black Sheep

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!

Lemon’s Latest Pickups….

Picked up a couple of bargains over the last few weeks, thought I’d share with you lovely soles.

Nike Delta Force High AC Premium

Really diggin’ these. I’ve never been mad about the Delta Force silhouette, but for £35 from TKMaxx in Purple….would have been silly not to really! And they are pretty comfy, been wearing them with my spenco’s. I especially like the luminous orange accents on the end of the laces and throughout the lining, really makes them POP!

Vans Atwood Mid

First pair of proper comfy Vans. They feel so sturdy – I call them my Hulk kicks. Obviously built to last against to grain of any normal skateboarders wear and tear, so for me these are perfect for al the messing about I get up to hehe. Love the soft yet supportive feel of the navy canvas which stands out like a classic against the good old vans sole.

Tweet @BigEyesLilSoles or instagram @bigeyeslittlesoles and hashtag #bigeyeslittlesoles with your latest pickups! We love looking :).

For now, Peace & Love from a cosy corner with my main man, Ty.

Gold O’clock…

If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll know I bloody love gold (or should I say plated gold), so this news is great for me, although the price tag isn’t.

This year Adidas are celebrating 40 years of the classic three leafed logo, the trefoil. To commemorate this milestone in Adidas history and a golden era for many b-boys & b-girls and hip-hoppers from all elements, they have made this stunning blingin’ gold watch (which isn’t real 24ct gold by the way).  Each watch is uniquely numbered and comes packaged in a sleek, originals acrylic box. Only 500 of these babies have been made, hence the numbering system so you can feel extra special for around $599 ;)

So set your alarms to Saturday June 16th when the Adidas Originals 40th anniversary trefoil watch becomes available worldwide, but be warned, this is going to be a hot item to get hold of and only a handful have been allocated to Adidas Original stores (click the link to find your nearest store).

Check out the video below from when Adidas teamed up with Streetfest in London earlier this year…. ’Building a Community of Collective Creativity’.

Peace & Riz!

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!

Purrrrrr… ‘Black Beast’ Leopard AM 1s

Well well well, what do we have here!…

Here we have a little sneak preview of the ‘Leopard Pack’ Nike WMNS AM1′s! And wow are they sexy or what!?

If you know me, you’ll know I am usually a Jordan girl, but you’ll also know that I ADORE animal inspired print, so these are defiantly going to be on my 2012 cop list!

The black suede & nylon base colour really makes the leopard print stand out on the heel, forefoot and on the top lacing tabs. Rolling with an ivory white mid-sole topped off with classic alrming red lining the inside. The white swoosh makes these babies a clear contender for the AM1 hall of fame, especially adopting a nickname such as ‘Black Beast’.

Hearing news these should be hitting shelves around October 2012 but keep it Big Eyes for exact release date and where to buy!

Peace & Cake!

PICS

New Purchase

Today I went shopping for some printer ink and came home with a new pair of Air Max 90s.
I’ve wanted some all black 90s for a while, finally I found them and for only £54.99!
Nike Air Max 90 (GS) ‘Black/Black’

There really isn’t anything I can say about these.. with a leather and rubber upper and literally all black everything, this is the perfect staple winter beater that I can wear out anywhere and wipe clean back to perfect freshness when they get dirty.

More Animal Print

It’s pretty clear if you look on my tumblr, in my wardrobe or at my sneakers that I love animal and safari prints.

There’s something timeless, not too over the top and just plain rad about animal prints, whether it’s on leggings, playsuits or sneakers.

I’ve needed a new wallet for a long time, I’m fed up with the huge size of girlie purses and the fact that they just fall apart!

Check this new beast out!

1 D3AD R3DN3CK

So we introduced you to R3DN3CK  clothing not so long ago, (refresh your memory here) and now it’s back with newly released radness. Two tees modelled by the R3DN3CK himself, at a pretty clever and incredibly pleasing price of £13.33. Chances are, you’re going to have to be pretty snappy whipping your credit card out to buy them because these tees are fresher than Colgate (the foamy one with shiny bits, and whitening ish).

THE CREST

†D3ADR3DN3CK†


JUST IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING, HERE’S SOME REASONS IT MAY BE ACCEPTABLE FOR YOU TO WEAR R3DN3CK…

You think loading the dishwasher means getting your wife drunk.

You think “taking out the trash” means taking your in-laws to a movie.

You take a load to the dump and bring back more than you took.

You let your twelve-year-old daughter smoke at the dinner table in front of her kids.

You cut your grass and found a car.

The Halloween pumpkin on your front porch has more teeth than your wife.

Your wife can climb a tree faster than your cat.

You think taking a bubble bath starts with eating beans for dinner.

You’ve got more than one brother named ‘Darryl/Randy’.

You own a homemade fur coat.

The people on Jerry Springer’s show remind you of your neighbors.

You’ve been married three times and still have the same in-laws.

You can get dog hair from out of your belly button.

People hear your car a long time before they see it.

Now I’ve delayed you enough, shouldn’t you be looking for your wallet?

Pce.
