Sneaker Spotter: Nike Air Griffey Max

Nike Air Griffey Max


The thing I really like about these sneakers is that they have an 'old skool' style to the shoe.

I spotted these sneakers in footaction store, in the girls section! (I was surprised to see such dope sneakers in the girls section). 


These sneakers are also available in men's sizes and a wide range of colours! if your looking for something plain try the black and white pair which can be pretty much be worn with everything! 
or if you want to stand out try these! 

The prices of these shoes can vary between £70 - £160. This depends of sizes, colours and styles (e.g limited editions). 

I also recently spotted a sneaker that is similar to Nike's Griffey's. 



Reebok Question Mid which i think are super dope! although they are similar to the nikeys the suede material adds originality or 'uniqueness' to this basketball sneaker!

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!

Peace and loveeeee

Watch out for those Fake Jakes!

I hope you guys are all aware of fake websites that are selling fake sneakers! This post will show you some of the do's and don'ts of choosing websites to buy your sneakers! :)

Do's..
  • Now eBay do sell some genuine sneakers, but you have to be careful because there are some sellers who sell fake sneakers! I would recommend air19710617jordan who sell amazing genuine jordans! I got a pair from them and the are still in immaculate condition! 
  • www.kickz.com/ ... a DOPE website! they sell the best of the best from all brands; Nikey to Supra to Reebok! 
  • Another website ..www.solebox.com... this is a German website but have pages after pages of some of the dopest sneakers for both male and female which may not be in normal stores. Prices may become very high so be aware when coming to postage and packaging 

DON'T!...
  • I advice you not to even enter this website! >>> WWW.NIKEDUNKTOPS.COM = FAKE FAKE FAKE.. now who sells heeled nikeys like this!? nikedunktops.com possibly one of the most fake websites on the net! 

  • The thing about fake websites is that they use photos and describe photos like there real then when you orderd them and they eventually come to your door (if they ever do get to your door),  the sneaker will look like there leaning in every direction and the sole will start to drop off, e.t.c e.t.c, you get the drift.
  • You will also be able to tell if its a fake website because on the categories bar there is a list of every single shoe under the golden sun! now what shop sells iron man nikeys..!? ...WWW.NIKEDUNKTOPS.COM




























Please be very careful when buying your sneakers online!

*www.nikedunktops.com may only possibly be fake, authentic shoes not always guaranteed 

Peace&Love xx

The 'Jordan' Craze!

Hello ladies! So i am aware that everyone seems to be wearing Air Jordan's every left, right and centre... And i bet you guys are thinking that they're too typical or cliché to wear sometimes and that people think they're off tumblr or something. WELL I have the solution to this very very common problem! Try the unusual Jordan's- personally, i think the ones that are less common are nicer.. but hey, thats just me! 




These are Concord 9's... They are quite common among men in the black and red, but i think the patent black and white ones are classic, and sooo not cliché! 









These are Cool Grey 9's... I am only aware of these being one of the latest crazes in it US. Over here in the UK, i have seen very few rocking these... but when they do, they look GREAT! 













These are Grape 5's, and my personal favourite! They have only recently come back out after 7 years! They are becoming a little bit more popular over here, but the colour schemes compliment each other, and will be sure to look great with whatever outfit you decide to pair them with.



Something i have noticed, and found reaaaaally annoying is that over here in the UK,  the range of Jordan's sold for men are far better than the range sold for women! And when we do find a pair that we like... they are never in our size! This is why i tend to buy my sneakers over in the US, however, i have ANOTHER solution haha! Order your kicks from sites in the US... but make sure they are reliable and you order them when they first come out. There are also lots and lots of underrated sneaker shops like 'The Locker Room', you just have to find one near you... Do your research! You will not be disappointed! 

If you need help with finding the right pair or locating a store, comment below and i will try to help!

Enjoy! Xxx
