  • So I was going to post some new releases from NIKE. Some new Cortez, a couple Air Max's and Jordan Flight School. But I saw these and was like...fantastic! 

@nike Just when you thought you'd seen it all, Nike wows with an all-new way to quickly and easily get into your shoes. Great for people with limited mobility seeking ease of entry, or anyone wanting a quicker way to get in and go! The entire heel (including the sole) of the Nike Go FlyEase pivots open for a totally hands-free entry.

Step In and Go

The shoe's entire heel hinges open and stays open until you're ready to go. Slip in and step down to make the heel move back into place and secure your foot. To take the shoe off, use your opposite toe to hold the heel and hinge the shoe open.

  • @balenciaga already sold out in Black and white, the Paris high top destroyed kicks.
Being able to wipe clean with a cloth is absolutely perfect. Although there is no telling if ypu can wipe the grunge away!

To get this look there was some spraying and maybe some sanding involved, as well as the outsole color can be painted or applied in the molding process, but each pair should be similar with slight variations. 

PRODUCT DETAILS according to the website

• Full destroyed cotton and rubber
• Sneaker
• Rippings allover the fabric
• Balenciaga logo printed at the edge of the toe
• Balenciaga graffiti logo in color contrast on sole
• Embossed size at back
• 8 eyelets lace-up vamp
• Vulcanized sole
• Made in China
• Wipe with a soft cloth🤣

Material: 100% cotton

  • Finally figured it out. Shout out to @kerbito who decided that his time in fashion is still on the clock. And that his contributions to footwear goes beyond collaboration and failed brands. He's much better off on his own independent muscle.

Last month the collection of "hand" bags and shoes for all occasions hit the internet in retro fashion. At first glance could easily be and ad in a 70's JET magazine!

Pyer Moss @pyermoss graced my (our) old neighborhood with this lux fashion Billboard! Flatbush is feeling this right now. 

“It’s what people expect in this neighborhood,” he said recently. But Mr. Jean-Raymond has built his business on challenging expectations: of what a luxury brand looks like, of what (and whom) it can represent and where it can originate. He didn’t see why the biggest signage in his childhood hub should be any different.(@newyortimes)

  • Feeling this "cameo takeover" during fashion week in Los Angeles with @rizrfootwear !!! 

It's so hard to pull off a footwear runway show without the apparel or models overshadowing whats on their feet. This was a smart show where the shoes did all the talking! It felt very fresh and clean and the shoes broke through all the noise.

Great job letting your designs speak through @terra_rizr
