Gregory Siff
(08 December 2005) - When Gregory Siff isn't acting in independent films, modeling for Abercrombie, or hosting Disney's Z Games, he's painting, creating installations and sculptures, or customizing Stan Smith adidas. The NYC-born, 27 year-old wunderkind tailors the kicks, called "Gregory's," according to the character of the individual.

Each pair comes with a flashlight and compass attached to the shoelaces, a small pocket in the tongue for money...

Alife Pump Tennis
(31 October 2005) - Alife and Reebok have teamed up to redefine the tennis shoe by hybridizing it with a tennis ball. Their Pump Tennis appears to be coated in actual tennis ball felt (click the image to zoom).
