John just sent this info over, and I knew I had to post. I recently posted about the Ghostbusters x Bape shirt about 2 weeks ago, and when we went to the shop they were already sold out! Well, if you missed the super expensive shirt release, here’s another release for you.

Bape will not only be releasing another shirt, but two pairs of sneakers and mugs that feature their Baby Milo character alongside the infamous “Ghostbusters” iconic ghost. =) I must admit that I really want the baseball jersey– and wouldn’t mind having the regular tee, but Slimer looks just a bit odd. I don’t however, want to pay the ridiculous price tags, though I’m not entirely sure how much the items cost. I’ll settle for the mugs for my collection though.  [via.]

I’m going to say something that many people don’t seem to agree with me about, I HATE Noby Noby Boy. I got it because I am a huge fan of Katamari and I find the characters to be super cute and adorable. Noby Noby Boy just kind of left me confused and feeling a little disgusting with all honesty. I know many of my friends enjoyed the game, and I really wish I could be on the same boat, but unfortunately it doesn’t seem like I’ll be changing my mind any time soon.

Either way, when I spotted these custom sneakers on craftzine, they had the opposite affect on me. I wanted them instantly. It seems that they aren’t too hard to replicate and whoever Tonks is, he really is one good BF for creating these for his lovely lady. Why doesn’t the Mr. do crafty things for me? I think I need to upgrade my current model to a craftier one. =)

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.

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.

Friday was the Sneaker Pimps show at the Roseland Ballroom. I will begin by sharing the excitement I had to go to this show. I was excited because Simone Legno [Mr. Tokidoki] and Nas were going to be there. Mr. Tokidoki is a big highlight in my life in terms of meeting the artists that make the vinyls that keep me smiling. That was a long sentence. Nas, on the other hand, I really wanted to take a picture with him for my friend who’s a BIG fan. But, here’s what happened…

Due to circumstances out of my control, I couldn’t leave my home early enough to get a good spot on line. When I got there, my Mr. was already on line, which at the time happened to be around the corner and one block down. OMG! The craziness. We were standing for a good hour and a half maybe more, who knows for sure. The best thing, take note of the sarcasm, was the drastic change in temperature which surprised us with a shirt and light sweatshirt. When we finally got in the first thing I spotted, after getting tattooed with permanent marker poisoning, was Mr. Tokidoki!!

I should share right now, that I instantly began imagining he and I walking along Italy… Sorry about that, I was beginning to lose myself in dream again. hahaha! Anyway, I went up to him and shook his hand and told him I was a fan and tried to find out if he was doing any sketches that night. I already knew the answer, he needed to save all the sketching energy for Yoyamart… so I simply took pictures of him and the event. The walls were all covered with these gates, sneaker after sneaker was aligned throughout the ballroom. It was quite breathtaking and at the same time annoying. I thought the event would be more one-on-one with the artists. After a couple of minutes [and after having gotten a Sneaker Pimps shirts which my Mr. caught- he's so tall] I asked my Mr. if he wanted to break out.

I really wanted to see Nas, but during my escapade around the floor, people kept lighting up a “blunt”. Let me put this out there, I have loads of friends who do this on occasion. I tend to breakout whenever this gets on the scene. I don’t hate my friends for doing it, but its not my scene and I don’t like to be around it. I believe if you’re going to do it, go ahead, but don’t do it in a public venue. Ugh! All the secondhand weed smoke that came at me was disgusting. Though I was sad I couldn’t surprise my friend with a Nas autograph and photo, I needed out! So at the end of the day, I waited on line longer than being in the venue. But, I survived the night, and that’s the important thing. I don’t think I’ll be checking out anymore Sneaker Pimps shows. Oh wells.

Santos, aka THE MR., informed me of the video floating around on myspace featuring the Simpsons/Vans sneaker release party. Check it out!

I can’t wait for this weekend… since I don’t get to go to Comic Con I am making up for it through Vinyl, bag, sneaker, target shopping. I hope!!!

As soon as I saw these sneakers, which was approximately 40 seconds ago… I knew I needed to share. I am getting paid this week and one of the very first things I hope to order are the black version of these sneakers, they’re only available in black or red; and I’m not a huge fan of red. Currently the sneakers cost $120.00 and they are available through the Giant Robot store.

The site says the following:

These shoes look good AND they make you a part of the whole Space Invader game. The treads on the shoe have an alien and the words “10 Points” in relief so that every time you walk on sand, wet paint or wet cement, you’ll leave a print. It’s really clever.

I am navigating through the Giant Robot shop right now and I have come to the realization that they only have 2 sizes right now, mens size 8.5 and 11. DAMN my woman sized feet! I’ll keep you updated when more sizes are available.

I must say that getting used to my new work schedule is a pain in the booty! I am just not sleeping. I took a nap today, *gasp*! I never take naps, but two days in a row, I can’t keep my eyes open. Anyways, I share this information with you because I haven’t been updating as often as I’d like to. I do have lots of things I want to share with you, but I’m super tired to sit still and write. Last week my dad messed up the wireless router so I can’t even lay down and work… so I apologize.

Now, to the sneaker update (<– you should know that when I wrote those words, in my head I said, “to the Bat mobile”) A while ago, not that long ago, I brought news of the DC Bape sneakers, they have officially been released and unfortunately the only site I know that sells them is in Japanese. Blah! But I loved their packaging!! I needed to share, especially since they’re packaged like my vinyls; easier to take care of them. Check it:

And they come with a figurine!

I only placed an image of the Batman Bapes, because they’re my favorite ones. =-) If you want to see the other images you can check them over at: HypeBeast.com
