“Fresh” taken to another level. Fuck all the oxfords, loafers, mocs, and desert boots, deep down I’m a sneakerhead. When the re-release of the Infrareds was announced, I was ecstatic that I’d finally be able to grab one of my grails at retail. Don’t let hype confuse you though, the Air Max 90 isn’t some [...]

As someone that generally avoids reading at all costs, I do enjoy magazines. I thinks its mainly because of my A.D.D., and the fact that a magazine is just the appropriate length to retain my train of thought without feeling like a lecture.

If I was to describe myself, I’d honestly have to say I’m a realist, not a person to waste time bullshitting you. So if a month ago you asked me if I’d ever own a pair of Visvims, I’d have flat out responded, NO, while crying a little on the inside. Its not that I’ve [...]

My choice is, the black and white leather Sophie. Yes, [...]

Recently I managed to procure a pair of the Fall/Winter 2010 Red Wing Work Chukka, in sage suede, sooner rather then later. What can I really say, if you’ve ever owned a pair of Red Wings, you know the material and build quality will be spot on, the fit will be like a glove, and [...]

Warriors of Radness, Gourmet, two companies I know very well, but never expected to do any type of collaboration, very happy to be wrong. The guys over at Culture Shoq, graced the internets with the first pics, of what will be a summer time staple shoe for me, the collabo Tre. Gray striped cotton canvas, [...]

Soph’s Hirofumi Kiyonaga and fragment’s Hiroshi Fujiwara (uniform experiment) have taken a moment to use their collective Wonder Twin powers, in collaboration with nike, to create a special edition boot for SOPH’s 10th anniversary collection.
