OMG.

Look what I found on High Snobiety. These are the Puma 'The List' Gold Classic Sneakers Pack. These can most likely be found in sneakerhead boutiques or like a really good sneaker chain like Jimmy Jazz, Underground Station, or some' like that.

If you find some hott sneakers elsewhere, let me know.

But these PUMAs, worn right with your fav jeans... THEY TAKE THE CAKE.

GRAY Can Be The New BLACK: See Kanye West Gray-Style

Good morning, check out Kanye West's gray style.

I'm a GRAY-lover. I have a variety of gray clothes from gray Chuck Taylors to my favorite gray military jacket. It's a CAN-DO, a wear-anywhere. It's a shade lighter than black and you don't have to worry about whether your choice of clothing is too dark. Gray is safe. Right in the middle. It can be the new BLACK this spring.

Kanye was wearing a nice gray hoodie (perfect for any cool weather) and black suede Ann Demeulemeester (long name) sneakers. His whole look could do no wrong, EXCEPT... IT COULD LOOK MUCH BETTER if he could do a few more crunches. It's Kanye's own spin on GRAY STYLE. What's your gray style?

CAMOUFLAGE FACTOR: Pointer x Comme Des Garcon SHIRT Collection Shoes

I have a feeling that CAMOUFLAGE will be making a significant trend in 2011. No, I'm not talking about you scouting out the closets for your dad's old hunting jacket (EWW...), but I'm talking about camouflage used on different pieces of clothing... like SHOES!

Here's an interesting play on words. Company COMME DES GARCON created their SHIRT collection, which gave people, including me, the impression that there were camo shirts that I was going to see... but I was wrong. They were SHOES which were released last month. They look interesting enough to 'peek under' some denim jeans or to be worn with a military jacket or vest that falls around the hues of the camo.

Thumbs Up for this kind of CAMO, even though I don't wear CAMO; I might try a little bit... I like trying different styles to see what suits me best...

Sneaker of the Day: Car Shoe Suede Sneakers

...And we have another one! Check out these CAR SHOE grey suede sneakers that I found on Selectism. I really like sneakers like these because it's very versatile and can be worn with almost anything, even a suit (preferably a summer canvas suit).  I have 4 or 5 pairs of these kinds of shoes (Pro-Keds and Aldo) and I can wear them to work in the morning and then out to dinner with a blazer, later in the evening.

See more pics of the sneakers:

Baller BRANDON JENNINGS and Rapper TEYANA TAYLOR Spotted At REVIVE

GRRR... and I missed; I didn't even know that Brandon Jennings and Teyana Taylor were in town in metro Detroit shopping for shoes at sneakerhead store REVIVE in Birmingham, MI. This was apparently news for Birmingham, news for Detroit sneakerheads, and news for me since I spotted the above picture.

I might pay REVIVE a visit and see what's up...

But check out the hot shoes both of them were wearing (WAIT-- I thought they broke up?? Maybe they're just friends now). Brandon Jennings was wearing Christian Louboutin suede studded sneakers for $1,095! Mmm... gotta have a pair--when they go on sale, and yes, these high-end labels DO go on sale. And Teyana Taylor was in the classic Air Jordan 3 Sneakers for about $150.

 

Man, it's gettin' warmer, and I'm not just talkin' about Spring's warm air front (finally reaching 70 degrees this weekend!).

I woke up this morning to these crazy yet beautiful shoes by Raf Simons' Fall/Winter 2011 Collection. These sneakers stick close to the Raf Simons usual design, but are taken FAR OUTTA BOX with the different colorways.

Check out more of these ILL sneakers (there are more colorways, but this is my pick):

Sneaker of the Day: GIVENCHY Star-Studded Sneakers

The sneaker of the day is the GIVENCHY Star-Studded Sneakers. Not that I would buy it, but I think it's quite interesting, simple sneakers which has a POP FACTOR as an "alter ego" to the otherwise somber mood. The stars could be slightly smaller and more in number to make it even more attractive and more worth-- I think--the $631 it costs.

Sneaker of the Day: Comme des Garcons Snakeskin Sneakers

UpscaleHype delighted me this beautiful (but frigid) morning with these Comme des Garcon sneakers. They are very unique in a way that the detail of the sneaker is embossed gold sneakeskin leather (also available in bronze). It['s also available in "shoe" version, meaning no "sneaker soles."

It's priced at $385 for the gold and $340 for the bronze.

Sneaker of the Day: NIKE ALL-COURT MID CANVAS TZ

I have this HEALTHY FETISH (funny how those two words almost never go together) for canvas sneakers. there's something so clean and sobering about them, like a fresh canvas before a painter first touches it with his paintbrush.

I bring you the Nike All-Court Mid Canvas TZ, collaborated with Stussy. No "Swoosh." Just bare canvas. Drops March 1st.

So pure the shoe is... *Inhales.... Exhales....* 

Sneaker of the Day: PUMA x UNDEFEATED CLYDE

This is a nice classic that I found on Highsnobiety, it's a revival of the old Clyde sneakers. PUMA did a great job, from what I see, redesigning the sneakers by keeping the soles but removing the PUMA designs from the top end of the sneakers and just infusing as much of the Clyde influence as possible.

This is a project that is reportedly will be ongoing for years, so this phase of colors (black, dark green, gray, white) will drop on April 10, 2011.
