AH! creepy holidays!who doesn't love those?they are so refreshing, and not unnerving at all (riiiiiiiighhht!) , lol.it's really amazing how the sneakersphere tries to involve these very contrasting themes to the packaging of sneakers being put out every now and then, and these wild cards they keep pulling outta their sleeves really do leaves us wondering, what next would they base their next  release on? makes me wanna pull my hair out sometimes, you?okay. okay so 'El Dia de Los Muertos' (ahhhh,Spanish so yumm!rrrrrrrrr!) is a Mexican holiday which actually is just a fancy and lets not forget sexy name for Halloween because Spanish (ahhhhhh,Spanish so yummm rrrrrr! oh, ok?I said that before?oops, my bad, sorry) where friends and family remember their departed loved ones and instead of feeling all sad and gloomy like at actual funerals,this is more of a celebratory event where there is singing, dancing, building of an altar for the departed and wait for it...

I guess in my next life imma just have to try and get into basketball or any sport (most I ever did back in my school days was clap at these things.....at least a part of my body was moving, that's sport enough, lol), I mean these athletes, they just keep getting all the best stuff #thegreeneyedmonsterjustgottotheparty, lol. it's no news that just before college basketball season comes through, college basketball teams are known to have sneaker shoes being put out in honor of their teams and also to get these superstars properly equipped for the occasion when the basketball season kicks off in general by the Jordan brand.and like we saw with those being put out for Michigan, two more teams are also joining the list of schools getting their very own impressive walkers (runners, I meant runners). George town and Marquette are both getting revamped versions of a Jordan model, releasing to kick off this basketball season and we are here for...

ah, yaaas!MR Cortez is back and he brought another popular friend with him!remember when the dashing Bella Hadid totally melted our hearts when she was the front-runner for the Nike Cortez pack early this year?now Mr humble aka Kendrick Lamar will be getting his very own Nike Cortez sneaker (where is the confetti at?). Kendrick Lamar who has been very active in the sneakersphere with his partnership with the Reebok brand with which he put out some great kick designs as seen in the Reebok ventilator, classic leather, and club c sneakers,announced his new beginning with the Nike brand in August this year via Twitter (more coins with this new collab is a given, way to go Kendrick, get that money!). we have been excited since that announcement back in August as we knew our boy Kendrick sure was gonna wow us with some neat designs like we saw in his era with the Reebok brand and finally, we get a peek of what is to expect with his very own p...

first of all,.i am not gonna lie but this isn't a great look for me but I'm a professional (i hope) so I still gotta write about this pair ah kicks. now, this not so pretty but obviously strong personality right here is the Air Jordan 16 Retro 'CEO' (lol,well the name kinda figures,CEO,bold,not subtle,very outstanding and we might not always like em, I'm tempted to cop a pair for my extra 'NICE' boss, matches his dashing personality). okay so the Air Jordan 16 was first released in 2001 and it's making a come back this fall as a nod to Michael Jordan's current tango with the charlotte hornets. so like most of us know, MJ after taking a bow from active play might have gone from the side of the court where the little kids sit, lol to where the big boys sit (where exactly do the money bags sit during games though? lol).he owns a ginormous part of the charlotte hornets franchise which is based in his hometown of charolette, North Carolina  (...

Remember when the mean kids used to make fun of us for having imaginary friends and the adults thought they were just little kids stuff and would go away as we grew older?lmao!wow, this story right here sure is gonna get em super mad! For the first time in history, imaginary friends are getting the well-deserved recognition that has taken  way too long a time to get to em and it is making the front page news!(I'm not kidding!) One very super fashion icon, Mr. Riccardo Tisci an Italian fashion designer extraordinaire has linked up with nikelab to put out a sneaker collection in honor of his love for the NBA and basketball in general and also his imaginary friends (finally!somebody showed em we ain't crazy, lol). These imaginary friends aren't just the regular kind like most of us have, these bad boys are pro ballers (damn!) superhero pro ballers ie who all belong to a fictional basketball team called the minotaurs (damn it! even these scary mythical creat...

Don't you just love when shoes come with sentimental attachments?well I do,it's like you can just walk right into the feeling attached to it or walk with it at least and before we go any further, I will like to state that I am no pervert(i swear),I'm just very observant to certain detail, lol (there is a difference). When I first saw the photos below, I coulda sworn it was a photo taken right outta some high brow masked vintage sex party, you know?eyes wide shut?somebody?anybody?okay! (the only weird one in the room as usual, lol). The off the hook x Puma collaboration is inspired by the nightclubs back in the Canadian store's hometown of Montreal.apparently back in the 90s, most high brow clubs in Montreal had strict dress codes and you couldn't get in if your outfit wasn't lit enough ((as it should be !).one of the kinds of footwear that weren't allowed in said clubs were sneakers(how dare they?,I feel personally attacked!). This collaboration...

Don't laugh, but I'm pretty sure when these stan smith kicks were being thought up, our incessant nagging as the absolute humans we are was definitely the header on the drawing board, lol. The Adidas brand in their continuous service to humanity has produced a shoe that is suitable for all weather wears so we all can finally shut the hell up and not go 'oh I'm so gonna have a heat stroke in the summer' and 'im so gonna die from frostbite!my feet are falling off in the winter', ( yep, we always have stuff to complain about) lol, now we have no more excuses (how does this make us the leaders of the nag nation feel? so-so!) The sneaker model used to bring forth this very great service is the super laid back stan smith model, the tennis shoe that went full on streetwear. this model is back in one colorway, all white/light gray and tagged the gore-tex.  The gore-tex is built with unique technology and materials to adjust to whatever weather condition...
