I Heart Cool Stuff

I’ve been wanting to purchase the Compisition Notebooks Dunks for a while. I’d forgotten about them until a friend posted them on her flickr account and they began haunting my dreams all over again. Now, my symptoms have worsen, since the Composition Notebook dunks were also released in the AirMax 90’s design, which is my favorite sneaker.

What does this mean… I’m going to have many problems sleeping until I get my pair. My days of wearing sneakers are nearing their end as my boss no longer wants me to wear them… I plan on rebelling somewhere along the mid-year report cards time. I figure if my sneakers scream “education,” he’ll have no troubles with them. Can a New Yorker point me to the right direction in purchasing these? Danke.

p.s. I’ve upgraded to WP 2.6, so I’ll be doing some maintanance, please bear with me if things are a little slow. I do however, love it so far– great features.

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted about sneakers. Well, not really, I did write about the Tokidoki for Onitsuka sneakers– which, I’ll eventually get. I have however, been holding out on posting this image, because I’ve been trying to get my hands on a pair. Jon Burgerman teamed up with Nike to release a Magnificent 7 sneaker pack.

What’s that mean? That he designed 7 pairs of sneakers for Nike. And the one pictured above is the pair I want to wear on my feet to bed at night, now please. I’ve been in search of them since Jon posted them on his flickr. You might think, why haven’t I seen these? Well, it has a lot to do with the fact they weren’t released in the US, only in the UK. Those darn lucky bastards!

So anyone of you visiting me from the UK? Please, let me know where I can order myself a pair, or if you’d be so kind to mail them for me. I found them online at the European Footlocker, but I can’t order them. Help please. Hit the jump to see his other designs. (more…)

Ladies and Gentlemen, if you live in NYC, I’ve officially spotted the Onitsuka sneakers by Simone Legno (tokidoki) at DavidZ. Actually, I think this may apply for all US residents. I’ve just spotted them on their site too, so you may be able to get them delivered to your homes. The above model will cost you $120, which are the ones I want. All other models seem to cost $130. I’ve never ordered from DavidZ, so I don’t know how well they are with deliveries or whether they deliver to all states. If you try, please let me know so I can update. Danke!

I want!!

And so, the sneakers I’ve waited a year and a half for are finally here. Tokidoki-blog is responsible for making me aware of their official release, and I am too estatic. tokidoki.it is currently taking pre-orders, though I’m confused if they’re only female sizes. I guess I can assume these are currently only for women, right? Either way, get your pre-orders in, as the sneakers will begin to ship May 22nd. These will set you back $110, there are currently 4 designs available.

Current Mood: Distraught

Yay, the Mr. and I received our ProKeds Arcade Series sneakers last night. I took plenty of pictures and have posted them on my flickr if you’d like to take a look. I love my sneakers, though I was worried about the colors. I do have to say two things for the women:

1. The wrapping paper that contains the women’s sneakers stains. I noticed when I opened the box that my laces had this “dirt” on them. Then I realized the gold lettering of the wrapping paper had smudged on the sneakers, NOT COOL!

2. If I am ordering the “Arcade Series” sneakers then I believe its because I am highly interested in the design, right? So why do you send my sneakers in a pink, girly box; instead of the Arcade Series box sent to men? Hmm… I don’t like this one bit. I was really looking forward to storing my sneakers in their kick ass box, but nope. If this matters to you, then you should be aware of it. That is all.

p.s. I made a mistake earlier… those Mario Star looking ones are not Mario Stars. They fooled me, but looking at a close up of the sneakers the eyes have slits in them like Pac-Man, so where are they from? Oh the confusion, when the new styles come out I shall try to inform you. Oh, if someone finds kid sized arcade series sneakers, you should tell me. I still want the other designs for myself.

These news aren’t so new, yet… they’re still exciting. Pro-Keds has released an arcade series sneaker collection. <– You can click the link to check out the styles that they have. I really want to get the Super Mario Bros. Star sneakers:

But they’re still not available. I’m not sure when they’ll be available, but of what I know, currently only the Pac-man maze sneakers are available for purchase. I must share that the Mr. and I have just purchased them, yay!!! Take a look:

These are available at Zappos.com You better hurry though, I bought the last 11.5 for my Mr., and second to last of size 8 for ladies. I really wanted the boys, but they don’t have them in a 6. Oh wells. I should let you know that you can check out the Pro-Keds site and check out the entire collection, but their purchase button doesn’t work– so don’t expect to buy these kicks on their site.
