My Latest Pair: Adidas Brasic str High ii

It's been less than a month, I know. But these were on sale. Oh well...


I'd spotted these about 3 weeks ago but was reluctant to get them. Came back to the store and saw them on clearance and decided to hurry-up-and-buy!

My Latest Pair: Adidas TRX Retro

Just got these in the mail today. Was kinda 50/50 about the yellow but now that they're here I think I can do something with these. Might have to wait till the spring/summer to wear them though.
If you haven't noticed by now, I have a thing for shoes. Some ugly, some plain, some colorful, most red and black (lol, shot out to Laf who gives me a hard time for wearing the same pair of red/black Adidas all the time), but always a pleasure.

By the way Laf, I know you're shocked I didn't get this colorway:

My Latest Pair

My latest pair of shoes is a step outside of the normal type of shoe I wear. My homie Apuje broke me off with a discount code for Creative Reaction so I figured I'd look on their website and see anything that I liked. As Laf can vouch for on my behalf, I have a thing for shoes with red and black in them (red is my favorite color). So as nature would have it, of all the shoes on the Creative Reaction website, I found a pair that I liked that are black, with red outlines. Go figure.

Here's a picture of 'em. I'm betting that the reaction (get it, reaction as in "Creative Reaction". Yes, I'm that corny) to these will be split completely down the middle. Or completely negative, lol.


I actually think they look kinda bland in the first pic but with some jeans I think they'll come off more stylish since a good part of the shoe will be covered up.

My Latest Pair

If you caught my last post on my latest pair of shoes then you know that I have a strong proclivity for buying shoes. I haven't bought a pair of shoes in a minute so I figured I'd post the pair I just purchased. Shot goes out to Wingenroth for Prime-ing these via Amazon for me.
These are the New Balance Men's RX505. They're actually a cross-country shoe (spikes and all) but I plan on using them to play football in. Why you ask (because I'm sure you care)? Because they're light. I thought about buying a pair of football cleats until I realized how I don't like the clunkiness and weight of cleats. Then I realized just how light the track shoes I used to wear when I ran actually are. Granted, a pair of cross-country spikes won't have the lateral support - in terms of being able to cut east/west with a good grip - like football cleats do. But in the end, I'm not trying out for a spot on the Redskins either so what does that matter, lol?

Sidebar: The Redskins could use me right now though to be honest.

So we'll see how these cross country kicks fare on the football field this weekend. Hopefully I don't bloody too many people with these. LOL.

My Latest Pair

I just copped some new kicks and as @LAFgoesON and @RahOfEyekon can attest to, I have a penchant for copping shoes that I assume no one else will buy or has. I don't really follow trends when it comes to tennis shoes or sneakers. When it comes to boots or dress shoes I'll go with the flow and get some Tims (no Nike Boots though) or some Ferragamo's or Mezlans or whatever else is the standard for quality. But I like to keep my casual/tennis shoe game a lil spicy/different.

I just got the pair below and my co-worker @bwingenroth told me he was feeling them. @Angolia loathes them but she also hated these, calling them "boat shoes". Yet she doesn't call these (which I also have) boat shoes. Go figure. To each his/her own.

The shoes below are actually pretty old so I'm sure there have been dudes with these already but hopefully they've "fallen off the map" (so to speak) so when I break out with a fresh pair it'll come across as stylish and not plain ole' late.

What do you think?




P.S. - Laf, this does not mean that the adidas are getting retired. Imma wear those until they leaning like a dope fiend.
