Sneaker of the Day: Nike Crown x Dunk High Premium Hightops

Mighty Crown x Nike Dunk High Premium

These are way hott. Check out what Sneaker News says about this:

Back in 2006, Mighty Crown collaborated with Nike Sportswear on the Nike Dunk High, creating a regal colorway of brown tones using their signature crown logo on the upper. It features just two basic materials (a soft nubuck and a shiny patent leather), but for 2011, they've taken the Dunk High to the very brink of customization. The asymmetrical material blocking on the upper adds a unique contrast to the tonal-black shoe, and you certainly need all fingers to count the number of different materials that make up the shoe. Elephant print, matte croc skin, glossy snake skin, ostrich skin, distressed suede, *catches breath* woodgrain, suede, smooth leather - the list goes on.

Sneaker of the Day: Maison Martin Margiela Spring/Summer 2012 Sneakers

Sneaker of the Day: Supra Skytop 3 Sneakers

Supra Skytop 3 Sneakers

I love SUPRAS!! These are sneakers of the day for THE ONLY JAIDEN. The design is so simple yet captivating. It's not over-the-top, meaning it can be dressed up or down (the gray ones, not the blue ones below). The gray sneakers can be worn right with dark denim jeans and a T-shirt or Ralph Lauren polo shirt (gotta have the classics).


COP YOURS AT SUPRA or your local sneaker shop!
What's your fav color?

Sneaker of the Day: Christian Louboutin Spacer Flat Sneakers


These are indeed some SPACE-AGE looking shoes, but they're still cool.

CHECK OUT the sneakers of the day: CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN Spacer Flat Sneakers for approximately $1,200. One day, JAIDEN, one day....

The belts around the sneakers give it a unique feel, ROCK-STAR, craziness, head-turning vibe... in contrast with the smooth look of the leather surrounding the entire sneaker.

Sneaker of the Day: Nike AIR PRESTO Makes Explosive Return to Shelves

Nike Air Presto   Summer 2011 Colorways @ NikeStore

Does anybody remember when these first came out?? Talk about early 2000s nostalgia. Check out the return of the NIKE PRESTO. They are described as sturdy in construction, yet very flexible and CRAZY COMFORTABLE... I would know, I had navy blue PRESTOs when I kickin' it in middle school (8th grade).

Nice to see this back...

Sneaker of the Day: Car Shoe Suede Sneakers

Selectism - car-shoe-grey-trainers-04

...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:

Weekend SPOTTER: Usher Chillin' In NYC + Katy Perry w/ Hubby Russell Brand


Both singers USHER and KATY PERRY were spotted over the weekend on two separate occasions, chillin' in COOL but EXPENSIVE COMFORT (yes, sometimes there's a high price to pay for comfort, literally).

Usher's blue sneakers were ILL (even ILLER, if worn right)! It's very OUTER SPACE and different; I like DIFFERENT! They're by Diet Butcher for $720 *Fist-bump to USHER*. He dressed it down just right with premium denim jeans and crew neck shirt.


And here's Katy Perry with hubby Russell Brand in her UBER-expensive CHANEL sweatsuit...
Scroll down if you want to see how much it costs.


Cost of CHANEL sweatsuit:
Over $3,000 !!!
It better do some TRICKS or somethin'!

Sneaker of the Day: Adidas Original x Jeremy Scott Sequined Sneakers

adidas Originals Metro Attitude Logo   Black   White   Sequins

This is decidely a feminine take on the Jeremy Scott sneaker. This hott line of sneakers have been making new colorways back to back and I have to say that these are pretty cool; sequins almost never go out of style, depending on which clothing item it's placed on. 

And I strongly believe that guys will wear these; I guess SEQUINS are not only for girls.

Check out more views of these sneakers:

Sneaker of the Day: Chivalrous Culture Hamachi Sneakers


These are seriously some HOTT sneakers. Chivalrous Culture teamed up with Diggy Simmons to produce this fine sneaker (Diggy is quite the 16-year-old businessman) for the masses. The sneaker has a red bottom like Christian Loubotuin, patent leather upper, and just has FULL-ON SWAG.

It will be released April 25th. The first 35 buyers will receive a limited edition bow tie. Hmm... niiiice.

See more pics:

The sneakers look even better with the BOW TIE attached to it.

Sneaker of the Day: Y-3 (Yohji Yamamoto) Neo Classic High Sneakers


These are very interesting. I guess you're wondering how this made it into my "Sneaker of the Day" post. Well, uniqueness always trumps. The sneakers above looks like a $290 sock... as a matter of fact, IT IS A $290 'SOCK'. The sneaker has a sockliner and it's lightweight to feel like a sock.

Very OUTER-SPACE, DIFFERENT; I LIKE IT. Would I wear it, though? No.

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.

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.

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: AIR JORDAN 2011 w/ Skull Candy Matching Headphones

Air Jordan 2011 + Air Jordan III Retro   Headphone Packs

This is just a beauty. Both the AIR JORDAN 2011s and the matching Skullcandy headphones made exclusively for the Jordan brand debuted on All-Star Weekend.

Expect whoever wears the pair to be extra-FLYY, like me *LoL - I don't have these, but I sure like to match. I have matching red/silver/black headphones with a silver/black JOSHUA DAVIS nylon backpack with a bright red interior. 

DOPE!! ILL!! FRESH!!

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: NIKE AIR FORCE 1 XXXV (Black History Month Edition)

Nike Air Force 1 Low – Black History Month 2011

2011 is the 35th year observance of "Black History Month," hence the "XXXV." I know I'm black (of course, DUHH), but this is TOO 'BLACK' for my taste.
