Shoe Laces / Laceswap Recommendations Crazy hype is surrounding these pair of V2 Zebras. If the news circulating around are true, there are less than 7000 pairs of these pair of shoes in the world. Last I heard from a friend in Amsterdam, that re-sell prices for these have hit a high of 1000 euros. That is some crazy shit. Of course, like an IPO offering in the stock market, prices always hit a high at the opening date and will then decrease and stabilise in the next few days. For those who wants to buy at re-sell, wait a...

Shoe Laces / Laceswap Recommendations So many Yeezys, yet not one have I been able to cop in retail price. I think the same goes for thousands of sneaker lovers out there but don't fret, the Zebra colorway is about to be released this weekend so you will get your chance :) The Yeezy BREDs is a pair that I would really love to get my hands on. While I am not a fan of the other V2s, black and red definitely caught my eye. The upper is nicely clean with an all black primeknit except for the SPLY-350 branding...

This is less of a review of Jason Markk versus Crep Protect but more of my personal view on my preference. I have had customers asking me if a water-based spray is better than an aerosol spray, vice-versa. Here's an article to summarise the pros and cons between the two types :) I have used both of the sprays extensively in the beginning as they were the two powerhouse brands of sneaker protection. Jason Markk was the pioneer and Crep Protect was the foreign incumbent from the UK. However, both have grown to be a leader in their own right....

Shoelaces / Laceswap Recommendations Triple Black anything is one of the sure-fire ways to get your sneakers to sell out. If somehow, ADIDAS ever finds me for a collaboration (in my dreams), I will probably do an all black colorway with red accents. That shit is going to resell for 10,000 bucks. Since this is a re-release, I will not describe the shoe. You guys should already know that this is mesh, not Primeknit and the midsole is blacked out. Some people would not change the laces as they would like the look to remain as clean. However, I like...

Shoelaces / Laceswap Recommendations KOLOR has been a mainstay collaborator with ADIDAS since the inception of the Ultra Boost sneakers. Their bright,quirky and loud color combinations are a fan favorite and continually sells out  upon released. The latest collaboration between the two sees them releasing an Ultra Boost and an Uncaged version. The Ultra Boost sneaker sees a blacked out midsole with an orange bottom sole. A blue TPU cage is overlayed onto a 3.0 black Primeknit upper with a gold heel cage, reminiscent of the Olympic Gold Ultra Boost. For a shoe that is bombarded with so many different...

Shoelaces / Lace Swap Recommendations ADIDAS Ultra Boost 1.0 are rare finds nowadays, more so the Limited Release 3M Ultra Boost that was released to not that much fan fare. If it was released now, there would probably be a queue for it but I managed to cop it 2 years back without much trouble. When I bought this, I inititally laceswapped it with a black 3M Flat pair of laces, but the colors just did not match well with the Primeknit pattern on the upper. I had to customise my own pair of laces to match well with the...

Shoelaces / Lace Swap Recommendations The world was introduced to the Ultra Boost Silver Pack during the Super Bowl half-time show and needless to say, those kicks were quickly snapped up. Sneakerheads weren't even looking forward to Lady Gaga's performance :P In any case, if you have missed that release, and still wish to cop a pair for retail, we have good news. On the February 16th, ADIDAS will be releasing an uncaged version of the Silver Pack but it will only be available at selected spots. I have to say that these are some nice laces, with the yellow...

Shoelaces / Laceswap Recommendations If any of my readers here is an Ultra Boost fanatic, you would probably would have copped pair either through queuing or paying an obscene amount of cash through the re-sell market. Eitherway, this is the first of many collaborations ADIDAS will be having with many brands throughout the world. THE A.S.S Ultra Boost collaboration features a black and white primeknit upper, with a black toe-guard and heel cage. The lage cage is also pure black with no other color accents. Laces come in solid black, so there is room for improvement there. I would probably...

Shoe Laces / Lace Swap Recommendations In a market dominated by ADIDAS and NIKE, New Balance sneakers were over-shadowed by Flyknit Racers, NMDs and Ultra Boosts. New Balance sneakers were always one of the best looking casual sneakers in my opinion, the simplicity and myriad of colorways was extremely appealing but yet, it never took off as much as the NMDs or Ultra Boosts did. In the past 2 years, sneakers that combined performance and streetwear were the best-selling and appealed the most to the consumers. New Balance sneakers were not really for performance, but more for a casual look....

Today's article will be slightly different, as it will be more on Jogger Pants, another essential component of an outfit to match with your sneakers. Jogging pants were essentially made for people to exercise in. They were comfortable and light, and was easy to to put on. It was unfavorably looked upon in the past if you were caught out with them, but now, everyone seems to be wearing them. But sneaker wear has infiltrated the mainstream culture and normal pants just won't cut it anymore. People want to show off their kicks and in that sense, jogger pants are...

Shoelaces / Lace Swap Recommendations Collabs? Special Releases? Limited Releases? All those have nothing on ADIDAS's original offerings in my opinion. Their Ultra Boost 1.0 Solar Red and Sonic Yellow are part of my essential everyday wear and I am adding the 3.0 Collegiate Navy into my collection this season. This colorway features a blue-gradient Primeknit upper, with a collegiate and night navy mixture, complete with the white BOOST midsole. Click below for our recommended pair of shoelaces for this baby. Check out our most popular laces collections.  - BOOST / NMD Shoelaces  - Rope Laces - 3M Reflective Rope / Flat...

Shoelaces / Lace Swap Recommendations Monochromatic colored sneakers are my favorite ones because they are so easy to match with any outfits. You do not need to stress about what pants or shirts to wear :) In this latest offering from ADIDAS, slated to be released on February 16th, we see grayscale colors, including a PU cage, and updated colors on the BOOST midsole. This Silver Pack is unique for that very reason, that ADIDAS has now forego the white BOOST midsole for one with a silver metallic sheen that matches with they grey Primeknit upper. These also come with...
