Sneakers for Sporters!


Hello all! We are up and running again! This post is dedicated to all those sports lovers, whether male or female! I will not only be showing you the most specialised kicks for your specific sport, i will also be showing you which ones are fashionable and will  DEFINITELY get noticed whether you decide to wear them during sport or not...


For all you runners out there i reccomend...

PUMA! PUMA PUMA PUMA! You could never go wrong with Puma, especially for running! Puma have a dedicated area on their website for runners, which should be of great help if you're having difficulty finding the right pair for you. However a great generalisation for most runners, recommended by me are...the FAAS collection. These FAAS running shoes vary in light-weightness and foam types and amounts, changing their potential speed ability and efficiency in your personal running purposes, they are found by using the FAAS Foamscale.





Another recommendation for runners are Nike Free Runs..


Now, there are three different models of these running shoes, each one modified slightly with release. However I can personally say that all three are great running shoes. They are designed to take the shape of your foot with more wear and running. These too are surprisingly light-weight, and have taken the world by storm, not only being running shoes, but also as a fashion statement. They are available in a wide range of colours, usually with matching laces.




And now for the ballers....
Basketball is a sport not so common in the UK, but for those over here that do play and all of our viewers across the world.. We do ACTUALLY know our stuff lol! A few brands come to mind when thinking of basketball, and surprisingly Jordans aren't at the top of my list!


Firstly..
Reebok Kamikaze II's


These were broadcasted a short while after Reebok introduced their Hexatile sole modification for support of the heel and comfort. They are also unique in their appearance and design!








Also..
Nike Air Flight Huarache

These are classic yet timeless basketball kicks. They are favoured as they are light weight and offer maximum support.









And finally..
Air Joran IV

These are so common in the urban fashion industry, that their main purpose is side-lined. This are in the category among the best footwear for basketball. These were discovered by many famous ballers after the success of Michael Jordan's launch of his line in 1989. They are known for being supportive and also ideal jumping 'slam dunks' hence the flight logo.




And now for the skateboarders...


VANS! Such a versatile shoe, however they were originally made for all of you skateboarders out there! They are available in different shoe types and colours making each pair exciting. Saying this, many pairs have been created simply for fashion's sake.. but this shouldn't stop you from rocking them while you skate.










Converse are also seen as a useful shoe in the skateboarding industry. You will know from our previous posts that they come in various styles and colours.








Nike Skateboarding Satire Skate Shoes.. So many 'S's' lol. These would have to be my personal favourite skating shoe (appearance-wise), as they are not as common as the previous two suggestions. These play a huuuuge role in the urban fashion industry too, and come in many different colours.

Enjoy! Xxx

One for the Lads

Just cause we are girls doesn't mean we don't know anything about boys sneakers. Right now we are going CRAZYY over the Nike Air Force 180 mids! (Such a beauty!). The smallest size is a UK 6 which is unfortunate for smaller sized feet and girls (like me).



These sneakers have been worn by some top celebs in the music industry! Including Jay-Z, Kanye West and Bow Wow. They been simply rocking these sneakers with a pair of jeans, a shirt or a crew neck. Another beauty about these shoes is that they are not as expensive as you think! The prices vary between £60 - £80, which I think is very reasonable, and you can choose between white/red, black/green (my personal favourite), grey/black and black/purple. 



'Sneakers looking fresh to death, im loving those shell toes' says Estelle! 


We're gonna go back in time to the Adidas superstars! A pair of these plain white bad boys go with practically anything! They will look super dope in the summer with shorts! Jay-Z is on a role! 




How about the adicolours? Change the three stripes? 

Okay there's one more sneaker I've been loving for awhile now is the Air Yeezys designed by Kanye West himself. These are a lot more expensive though! These fly kicks can be dressed up with trousers or you can dress it down with a pair of jeans. 

Air Yeezy 2
Air Yeezy 1
The thing I love about these trainers is that they glow in the dark, so when you go to a party your feet will catch people's attention and your friends will be able to see how fly your sneakers are!



Please be careful when buying these sneakers because a lot of websites sell fake ones! A website I recommend is Flight Club New York which sells both the Air Yeezy 1 and 2 starting from $2300

Prices start for $1500

Peace and love xx

New Changes!!

I know this blog is specifically targeted at girls, but we've decided to spice it up and start catering for others needs. So starting from today we will now be doing posts for both the male and the female sneaker loversss!! Tell your friends to tell their friends about our blog!
