Some things are best kept in the closet....

These classic Converse have come back on the scene. They should just stay in the Converse vault. This white/black/red colorway was inspired by the Chicago Bulls. Hopefully we don't see Derrick Rose or any other bull rocking these at any of the home games....These are a definite miss. 

For the ladies...Vans Vault Uniphant Pack

As a part of their 2009 spring/summmer collection, Vans Vault is releasing these at select Vans retailers worldwide. The contrasting color schemes along with the unique unicycle riding elephant make them a hot pick for the ladies... 

Continued Woes for Supra...

I am usually a big fan of Supra. But once again I am not diggin their release. First the TKs, now these. These Supra Vaiders come in a Mesh Blue colorway. The color combinations are just ugly to me. These look like they belong somewhere on Duke's campus; not in sneaker boutiques. But if you are a fan, they can be purchased here at a retail price of $89.95. 

Coming Soon...

For promotion purposes, Love Affair With Footwear will be coming out with stickers. These will be all over so keep your eyes open and keep being unfaithful. 

The ugliest Supras I've seen to date...

I'm a big fan of TK (Terry Kennedy). For those who aren't aware of who he is, he is the best and/or most known black skateboarder in the world right now. He also rolls with Fly Society and my favorite rapper, Curren$y. But TK is know for his flyness; and for that reason, I am suprised when his shoes look this horrendous. I don't think I could rock these if somebody paid me. Sorry TK. Better luck next time....pics via Suprafootwear.org

Vans was on such a roll...What were they thinking with this one?

In effort to celebrate the summer, Vans is releasing these as a part of their "Fruit Pack." Watermelon? Seriously. I don't know about these. Not even for the ladies....But if for some strange reason you are actually diggin these, they can be purchased here.

More from the ALIFE Spring '09 Releases

Several of these releases can be found at Standard.

ALIFE Spring 2009

I'm not a very big fan of ALIFE, but I figured I'd show off their Spring '09 releases. Some of them are kind of dope though. 

Concern for Converse...

Converse has always been a popular brand in the sneaker world. Their classic design has been around for decades. I understand the need to evolve, but Converse missed with this one. The "All Star High Zip Pack," comes in three different colors: red, green, and black. The glossy finish on a Chuck Taylor style shoe may be the turn off for me. And the zipper definitely needs to go. I wouldn't have a problem seeing a girl rock these; but if you are a dude, you might want to just stick to the classics...

Nigo Steps Down As Bape President

I know this isn't exactly a sneaker post or update; but for those who are aware of the sneaker culture, you realize how big of a deal this is. Bape has been one of the most popular and one of the most "faked" shoes of all time. Nigo is reportedly stepping down as president and brand director of A Bathing Ape. The brand was founded in 1993, and has been one of the more expensive and exclusive brands since. Nigo claims he will still remain the brand's designer. He will also continue his partnership with Pharrel as co-owner and head designer of Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream. While his reason for stepping down is not clear as of yet, I'm sure something will develop in the coming future...
