User Submission

09hope

The picture above comes from my friend Max (Koxa.nu) in San Francisco. He and I have worked on past projects together and he is one of the more creative people I’ve ever encountered. Max sent me this picture recently, and while I wasn’t exactly sure how to incorporate it, I was pretty amused and knew it had to go up on StreetSneak.

User Submission: Words, Beats & Life

DPP_0047

Sometimes the story behind a pair of sneakers goes beyond how exclusive they are or where you got them. The User Submission above comes from Words, Beats & Life in Washington, D.C., where they use hip hop as a vehicle for education. These particular Nike Blazers belong to a Words, Beats & Life student and are specked with paint from writing graffiti as part of the WBL program.

A friend of the StreetSneak’s is capturing the efforts of Words, Beats & Life in a yet to be released documentary, The District Rhyme. From what has been shot so far, TDR looks very promising, important and most of all, extremely dope. Check out the trailer here and go to thedistrictrhyme.com for more info.

Krazi Junction

For those that have been following the site, this is the third time now that we’ve posted pictures of the Krazi Junction brand. Through StreetSneak, I connected with a dude who was telling me about the shoe brand that he started, Krazi Junction. From designing to marketing, he runs all aspects of the brand. He’s always showed love to StreetSneak, so when he sends me pics of his latest designs I like to get them up for the people to see.

User Submission: Sneaking on the Subway

Not even sure what these are

Not even sure what these are

The picture is blurry and the shoe is not recognized, but it is a User Submission with a story, and therefore makes it onto StreetSneak.com. A fan and fellow Street Sneaker captured this pic on the subway, en route to work. After snapping the picture, the (cell phone) photographer was asked, “Why did you just do that?” After a brief pause, no response was given. Some people just don’t understand.

Anyway…does anyone know what the F these are?

This User Submission actually comes from the guy who created the above shoe; the Krazi Junction 41 Flatline. We’ve previously featured a few pairs of Krazi Junction kicks on the site. From what I’ve seen out of KJ, the collection appears to be pretty diverse…athletic shoes, dress shoes, womens shoes, etc. I’ve never had a pair on my feet so I can’t actually tell you how they fit or feel.

Gotta appreciate the hustle of a dude creating his own line of shoes. What do you guys think of the above shoe?

Brooklyn Brewery User Submission

BK's finest

BK's finest

The holiday weekend was a good one, and as you can see from this User Submission snapped at the Brooklyn Brewery, sneakerheads took some time to relax and enjoy themselves. This picture features a pair of Nike Dunks – not sure of the particular model – and what I believe to be a Brooklyn Lager. Beer on me for whoever can accurately name what model of Dunk this is.

Reflections

DSC00313

A friend of mine is traveling in Asia and grabbed this picture for me. I’m not sure if the shoe is like that all the time or it’s aided by the lighting/flash. Either way, it’s pretty crazy looking. It’s definitely a Dunk, and the plastic in the back and upper eyelet area has me thinking that it’s a version of the Presto Dunk.

If anyone has more info about this shoe – what model it is, if it’s always like that with the reflection/mirror effect, etc. – leave it in the comments section.

User Submission (and our first Reeboks)

20 years in the game and still kickin'

20 years in the game and still kickin'

The latest User Submission comes to us via the StreetSneak facebook page (facebook.com/streetsneak), and actually turns out to be the first pair of Reeboks featured on the site. Believe it or not, there was a time when Reebok legitimately competed with Nike. Reeboks downward spiral aside, its always nice to see a pair of Pumps. 2009 amazingly marks the 20th anniversary of this innovative shoe and brings back fond memories of Dee Brown (http://tiny.cc/nr62E) and my own childhood pursuits of this sneaker.

This particular pump is one of two pair in the “Monsters” pack.

Below, we have a bonus – Nike Air Max 1 “Lanciero Brasil” – also submitted by the same user. Big shout out to everyone who sends me pics…keep them coming.

Basket Weaved Laces

chucks

I had these pictures of basket weaved laces on a pair of Chuck Taylors sent to me, and I found them to be pretty interesting. I’ve seen shoes with two pairs of laces – even basket weaved laces – but they never looked quite like this. I don’t know the first thing about basket weaving so you’ll never catch this style of lacing on one of my pairs, but you gotta appreciate the innovation and creativity.

Anyone out there lace their kicks in an interesting or unusual way? Send me pictures…thestreetsneak@gmail.com.
