And so they’ve dropped… the Bred 11s…

Just thought I’d do a little post in honour of them as they are a serious sneaker!

Get them now from Nike in sizes small enough for our little soles, a steal at £95!

Go on, treat yourself, it’s Christmas!

Amar Stewart Talks Sneakers

So.. as promised, here’s his sneaker interview!

- First sneakers you ever bought?
Wow that’s a hard one to remember. I think I saved up for some Black Jordan 1′s when I was about 10 or 11. Or maybe some L.A. Gears. I loved them!

- Is there a particular sneaker that sticks out from your youth?
I used to skate (board) a lot and one shoe that always stuck in my head was the Koston 1 by ES. I know it’s not your traditional sneaker but that shoe probably got me started onto the whole sneaker tip. Every colour way was so good!

-Did you own them?
I had 6-7 pairs. Skated to death though.


- What’s your favourite pair of sneakers of all time and why?
Probably the vans syndicate W-TAPS series. Super clean, comfortable and not too flashy.


- Do you have a pair of kicks in your collection that you don’t wear very often and why?
There are a few, but I would say the Undefeated Dunks. I think they are a great shoe and colours are killer but as I get older I found myself going towards a more toned down, traditional option.

- Staple everyday pair in your collection and why?
Vans era, black. I’m a big big fan because it sits well with everything I wear and they look even better when they get trashed.

- Is there a particular style that you keep re-buying? eg: Mine is the AM90 and AM1.
I keep buying Adidas Campus. Back in the day I didn’t even clock them but I love the shape. Slim, low and again some great colours.

- Beaters or best for raves?
Back to the Era’s I’d say.

- Furthest you’ve ever gone to get a pair?
I haven’t ever really done the waiting in line thing. I remember waiting in line to get the Puma x Sneaker Freaker “Blaze of Glory” but I was there for about 15 minutes. In and out.


- Latest purchase?
I got 2 pairs of Huf Vans Old Skool from your fella. One black and one red.

- Best sneaker experience?
Being invited to NIKE TOWN in Oxford Street to exhibit my work.

- Worst sneaker experience?
Getting paint on my Jordan’s.

- Any new releases you’ve got your eye on?
Yes! I am waiting for the New Asics Gel Lyte iii from Ronnie Fieg. I haven’t seen anything that fresh in a long time!

- Favourite sneaker stores?
Have to give mad love to the people at Foot Patrol. I like what they do!

- Ever thought of putting your art work on a pair of sneakers?
I’m not sure. I have never been a big fan of “customising” sneakers (props to people that do) but for me I like things kept simple.

New Additions

Just some pics of the latest additions to my sneaker wall..

Nike Air Jordan 7 ‘Bordeaux’ (Which I got for £49 in the sale wohoo!)

Nike Air Jordan 13 Retro ‘Black/Varsity Red/White/Vibrant Yellow’

In love with my new purchases, the 13′s are SO COMFORTABLE, it’s like walking on clouds!
The Bordeaux’s are a 7 release, I wasn’t totally fond of, until I tried them on and fell in love!!

Get yours from Nike retailers.
