I can’t help but look at the shoes of pedestrians. What I see on NYDC16 is lots of Nike Roshes. Lots. Probably the prevalent sneaker that I’ve noticed. There are quite a few Nike TR trainers too. For all the success of Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors, I saw lots of GS hats […]
Nike’s Roshe Run line of shoes was an underground hit for sometime, but since the beginning of 2013, its visibility grew and grew. Today, I know the Roshe Runs are truly mainstream after seeing them at Macy’s. Yes, Macy’s, a neighborhood Macy’s. And not simple colorways either. For the men, there’s the Roshe Run FB. […]
So what other nuances did I observe on the East Coast in DC and NYC? Five Guys Burgers and Fries Well, I already mentioned that Five Guys Burgers and Fries is nothing new. Unlike Hawaii where lines were constantly long, there were no lines at many of the Five Guys we passed. Jordan Retros and Nike […]
Our last day in New York and our last CityPass stop was the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. There’s not much to say other than this. Okay, I do have something else to say. Do these canine cutouts actually work? Unfortuantely, we couldn’t get tickets for pedestal access or climbing Lady Liberty, but the […]
So the froyo at Bloomingdales was good with some service issues, but what about the kicks collection at Bloomies? Not bad, not bad at all. Besides the usual array of cross trainers, there were some interesting pieces to admire. The pinnacle had to be the classic Air Max 95 in neon. I didn’t check, but […]
Maybe it’s purely coincidental or it may be an effect of Hawaii-born Marcus Mariota, but Nike has been releasing several Hawaii-themed goods. There’s the Mahalo Marcus shirt, and now there’s the Air Huarache “Aloha” and Roshe One Print for the women. Then there’s the “hot lava” colorways like this Air Jordan 5 for girls. The […]
I so wanted to love these shoes, but in the end, I had to pass on them. The Adidas Tubulars have been out for a few months and while they caught my eye, I just didn’t act…until I saw someone wearing them. The silhouette of the Tubulars was distinctive, but the texture and colorway muted […]
Looks like Nike is pushing the new Kaishi line to the masses with releases at Sports Authority. Will the “next Roshe” be as popular as the Roshe Run line that shares visual similarities? The Roshes started boutique but then gained widespread popularity, and now you can find them pretty much anywhere. I guess Nike wants […]
Why oh why has Nike released the Roshe Run “Santa Monica” pack in Europe? These kicks scream of summertime fun. When is the summertime fun hitting the U.S.A.?
The ramen burger is a perfect example of a collaboration of cultures – the American beef patty meets Asian noodles. Sounds simple enough that both you or I could recreate this collabo at home. Just don’t do it. Confess. You’ve thought about it. Cook a few packages of Sapporo Ichiban and sizzle up some May’s […]
Just in case you were wondering why the athletic shoe department at Macy’s got a boost of style, know that they are now operated by Finish Line. So instead of the more traditional sneakers you’ve seen at the conservative Macy’s, you’ll see some flash like the Nike Roshe Run (for both men and women). The […]
There I was in the beginning of November ready to contain my kicks buying bender. I had everything I needed kicks-wise with my latest addition of a Roshe Run. I needed no more kicks for 2012. Then Black Friday came. Nike online features a clearance section as always, but couple that discount with an additional […]
