No tired kicks, please.
Any smart sneakerhead will tell you that a snowstorm means high-quality leathers and suedes must retreat to the closet until the weather blows over. No risk in ruining a great pair over something as silly as snow. But still, what to wear? In the past the arrival of bad weather meant chucking on some rubbers (no, not those rubbers) with only one goal in mind; staying dry. Winter has long been an ongoing victory of function over form in terms of footwear.
Any of you been to Rothman’s lately? Anyone ever even heard of Rothman’s? I must have walked by the Union Square store 100 times but never noticed it (my wardrobe beyond jeans is pretty limited), until the other day when I peered through the window and saw suit clad mannequins rocking sneakers. Batman Reeboks are above.
I unsuccessfully scoured the web trying to find information about this new sneakers on suits exhibit, but only found out that they have a relationship with ESPN and provide clothes for some of their on-air talent.
Anyone know anything about this? I’m intrigued, but probably not enough to go back.
Spotted this guy in City Hall Park yesterday. SERIOUSLY.
Yesterday over 40,000 people ran through the streets of the five boroughs in the 2009 NYC Marathon. Some ran for a cause. Some ran for the fun of it. And some simply ran faster than others.
Developing: People matching their footwear to their parasol (that’s fancy speak for umbrella).
That is all.
gotta have soul
I stopped into the Uniqlo down in SoHo to pick up some flannels (so hot right now, flannels) and spied these fresh beats just before I got to the door.
What you know about Clae?
Whether you care or not, I’m sharing what are on my feet today: Clae – Diego. More than anything, I just want to talk about the Clae brand. 16 models deep, Clae has been around for a few years now and is quickly climbing the ladder in the slightly more upscale sneaker category. This might sound nerdy even for sneakerheads, but my favorite thing about Claes are their shape. You need to try on a pair for yourself.
Tim’s get the job done; whether it be in the bar, at an up-scale apartment party, or when you and Paco need to lug 30 2×4′s down to a construction site from you truck.
When you put these on, your basically saying to the world, “Yeh, so what you gonna do about it?” Well said my friend, well said.
At a buddy’s bday party in the far west TriBeCa (almost Jersey) apartment building called Truffles (don’t ask) , I noticed these through the crowded dance floor/living room.
The colorway and old-school design (notice the air bubble) were enough, but throw in that skull graphic on the toe cap and you have yourself a Sneak.
cabrito's pink goat
Though you could say they were behind this whole street food thing in the first place when they opened Shake Shack a few years back, the folks who run Madison Square put together some make-shift food stalls on the plaza between 5th Ave and Broadway next to the Square. Be sure to check out Cabrito’s spicy chorizo taco. The space also makes for some great StreetSneakin.
