The Art of Puma
(09 December 2004) - The Art of Puma is a basic white high top with 80s style illustrations that will be released exclusively in Japan, UK , Germany and France. Neither subtle nor sexy, they do embrace a certain creative chaos circa 1988. They also further today's notion that white high tops are canvases. Definitely collector's items-- grab a pair if you can find them. ...

Puma Satori Lux
(07 December 2004) - Puma has been quite the innovator lately. October's release of the motion inspired black or white leather, but this 500 piece edition is covered in a luxurious pony skin (no, it's not really pony; they just call it that). Sublime to look at, they're available in all black or chocolate and pink. They're expected to drop this month in 18 locations worldwide. The only...

Reebok Pump 2.0
(10 November 2004) - Tonight, 15 years after introducing the Original Pump, Reebok launched the Pump 2.0 running shoe. With a pump mechanism built in to the heel, the foot cradling bladder fills as you begin to run, making this the first-ever automatic custom fit shoe. The idea that you can just slip on the shoe and it tightens itself as needed is pretty exciting. When you're all...

adidas Hemp
(05 November 2004) - Of all the trends right now, the one that makes me happiest is the fact that environmentalism and sustainability have found their way into design. The result-- hip, hot and feel good products. adidas was ahead of the curve releasing these Hemp Superstars and Supermodifieds several years back. Now the time is right and they've been reissued. Available at Journeys via Metaefficient ...

Nike Shoxploitation
(04 November 2004) - Neo is all about urban assault. A hybrid sneaker - work boot, it's for living a rugged life on the street, but doing it in style and comfort. Timberland knows all about that-- looks like Nike is trying to get in on their game. When you check out the Shoxploitation web site, be sure to watch the film trailer.

Customizer: Leyp
(01 November 2004) - The white Dunk may have been the original customizer canvas, but it's starting to seem like any white Nike will do. These two creations are just a hint of the range of work coming from Leyp-- there's lots more on their site. Can someone please tell me why almost all the great customizers are working on Nikes? Is it cost, quality or a straight...

So Yesterday
(29 October 2004) - So Yesterday. It's an adventure mystery about a teenage cool hunter who stumbles upon the most amazing sneakers ever. Needless to say, I was skeptical. I finally got around to reading it (cover to cover in flight from San Francisco to New York) earlier this week and was pleasantly surprised. Westerfeld's witty yet simple writing weaves a fun story with a bit of cool...

Nike Terminator DPM
(25 October 2004) - If I ever had to pick a sneaker that most closely resembled my web site, I think this would be it. Who better than Maharishi to bring this orange, white and light gray camo masterpiece to a Nike Terminator? Released in compliment to their new camouflage book, Disruptive Pattern Material, the limited editions sport a giant DPM on the heel where the public edition...

Nike Zvezdochka by Mark Newson
(18 October 2004) - Launched in the Japanese magazine Marc Newson as a multi purpose shoe for cosmonauts, it's named for the Russian space dog that ventured aboard Sputnik 10 in 1961. While it may look like a reinvention of the Jelly, it promises to be the next major accomplishment in footwear engineering. If you're in London, you might be able to decide for yourself when Newson's show...

Nike Cultura
(14 October 2004) - Though already reviewed by Fixins and Freshness, the Nike Cultura project is still ripe for coverage. In the interest of capturing LA Latino culture in a line of limited editions, Nike installed the Cultura show at Blu House on Venice Beach. The kicks are hot, but the work of Tattoo and graffiti artist Mister Cartoon photographer Estevan Oriol is even better. ...

SBTG
(23 September 2004) - A couple weeks back Singapore-based customizer, SBTG debuted in the US. I didn't make it to the opening (though it would have been a great excuse to visit chic Teaneck, NJ), but imagine some of these funky designs were shown....

Punk Vans
(09 September 2004) - Onward with punk... Vans was showing these lovelies at Soled Out tonight. "How was the event" you ask? Kind of annoying. The kicks were pretty good, but they were all packed in behind a tiny little bar where crowds were 3 and 4 deep. There was too much going on to take it all in, but I was able to grab some pics......

adidas Fencing
(21 August 2004) - This year's Olympics Series from adidas is pretty great. Their fencing shoe from the 1964 games in Tokyo, however, was pretty genius. In limited numbers this distinctive shoe comes in a metallic mesh with contrasting vinyl and rubber trims in true representation of the fencing sport. The hexagonal stamped sole features large ‘cut outs’ at critical pressure points ensuring the wearer is completely balanced...
