November Photo Contest Ends Tomorrow!



[Sammianthaa in the pumpkin patch.]

Vans Series--Amanda Lopez photo exhibit



For those of you lucky enough to live on the West Coast (of the US), check out Amanda Lopez's first gallery exhibit of the very cool True Story: the Vans Shoe Series. These self-portraits of sorts are taken across the world during her travels to Los Angeles, Pinar del Rio, Mexico City, Havana and Teotihuacan. It's a figural self-portrait, a diary, almost a graf-like proof that "hey, I was here". Thought of in reverse, it's a Vans version of "Where's Waldo?"... Enjoy!

FSF Sneakart Party on KarmaloopTV!

For those of you who didn't get to it, here's a nice peek into FSF's SneakArt party at Re-Up in the Fall.



Thanks for coming KarmaloopTV!

Today is International Transgender Day of Remembrance



Some of the youth I work with are going to a vigil for Rita Hester, who was brutally killed in Boston ten years ago for being a transgendered woman. I can't go, because I have a work event tonight. They asked me what I was going to do to honor the Day of Remembrance. So I'm posting this to honor the day and the youth who teach and inspire me everyday. If you'd like more information about events today or the issue in general, check out http://www.transgenderdor.org


It's cold out here in New England!

You may well live near a community center or youth program of some sort which would be happy to add your extra coats to a coat swap or clothing donation they do for the holidays. If so, please take the time to bring over that coat you ONLY wear to match that certain outfit like twice a year! However, if you're not sure where to go, or you want to get some slick swag for your efforts, Sean John and MMHighlights have teamed up with this nice offer in NYC:





Note the dress code: I think the party is hating on sneakers! But have fun...

P.S. If you live in Boston, I know BAGLY is having a coat swap at the Community Church (at Copley) next Wednesday at their Community Potluck. Feel free to drop coats off or pick a coat up, and get a free dinner! (6pm-9pm)

New Women's Nike Dunk-Volt

Yes a new sneaker that I'm actually looking forward to purchasing. The new Nike dunk Volt just dropped this week for us gals and start at $99.00. All I have to say is Nike kinda redeemed themselves with me after making that wack-ass "scorpio" blazer. Good Job you get a gold star!!!

Why We Love Puma!



Happy 60th Birthday to a brand that gets it! First of all, Puma Californias fit my foot like no other. But second of all, in this week where my theme has been about how sneaker companies need to bring their heat out in smaller sizes, let me say this: Puma's birthday heat, pictured below, comes out starting in a men's size 4! Now is that so hard?? We love you, Puma.





Puma Clyde Anniversary Editions, $80 at puma.com





Puma Roma 68 Anniversary Editions, $90 at puma.com

Also, visit puma.com to see if a Puma Birthday Party is coming to a city near you. 20% off the whole store, plus giftbags, DJs and more...

Thanks to nicekicks for the nice pics.

New small sizes at Land O Kicks



Land O Kicks does NOT sleep on the ladies! Check out the heat AND the small sizes!

And don't forget, if you want other kicks to come in youth sizes check our petition below, or just email us at submissions@femalesneakerfiend.com and tell us WHAT kicks you want in WHAT size. We're passing on all the info to the major sneaker companies, along with the petition.

AF1 all black gumsole




These look just right for winter. No white to mess up at all! And I'm a fan of real gum sole. Click on these images for larger ones, or head over to footlockerunlocked. They'll be available at Footlocker on November 29th.
If you want these in small sizes, let us know what size! (See petition below.)

What sneakers should come out in smaller sizes?

Looking for the latest Tier Zeros? What about the sweet adidas or NBs pictured in the next posts? Some of us just need to be in the right place at the right time with the right cash. (Not that that's so easy these days...)

BUT OTHERS HAVE NO CHANCE WHATSOEVER! Thousands of girls are totally ignored by the sneaker industry based on the size of their feet. They're the ones sleeping out to get Jordan Packs or special releases, only to find out they might as well resell them cuz they're 3 sizes too big. Or they're making the most of it, getting good deals on kid size kicks, but also knowing there are many that they'll never get.

So we gotta get sneaker companies to understand, to believe, to recognize. What can we do? Click HERE to go to the FSF petition for exclusive kicks to come out in smaller sizes. Sign the petition, and in the comments tell us how you feel, and exactly what sneaker you wish would come out in what size. We promise to pass this information on to all the major sneaker companies. We already have thousands of signatures, but let's go for 8,000 in 08. Show 'em we mean it! Spread the word! I think they're starting to hear us...

adidas high top heat for early 2009



These adidas Forum Mid Gruns are good for the earth (relatively, I'm sure) and quite beautiful. Fabulous materials. I better start saving my pennies! (from highsnobiety)

These sweet blue and orange (not grun) Attitude Mids are coming to our friends at Overkill.

Speaking of Overkill, they have these Gruns right now:


130 Euros, starting at Euro size 42.

New Balance "Outdoor Jacket" MTG580...

Wow, these upcoming MTG580s from New Balance are sweeeeet. I love them all. These are allegedly inspired by outdoor jackets (not to mention the current rage for all-one-color kicks, which I really like). Great materials (including waterproof goretex), great colors and textures...you even get both regular laces (my choice) or bungee style ones with lace locks. The folks at Streething say these are only gonna be available in Southeast Asia in January. I hope we get them a little closer!
(note to all crease-haters: Goretex does crease. See above.)

Fila Melrose and Melrose Scarf

Fila's bringing out some new kicks "just for the ladies". These two variations on a theme are called the Melrose and the Melrose Scarf. No word out yet as to whether Nas will be sporting them...



(The top two are the Melrose, the bottom two are the Melrose Scarves.) As usual, they seem to have a blend of Fila style and style-you've-seen-somewhere else. But that's cool... You tell us what you think.

Made of synthetic leather and textile leather. Sizes: women's 5-10, 11. $70. Out 11/15 at Lady Footlocker, Footlocker and Nordstroms. And rumor has it there's a Fila Melrose Party hitting NYC in December...

All the way from Chile

It's not everyday you get kicks from Chile. Do you have any?? Okay, then. The nice folks at Support Footwear gave me the honor of being one of the first in the US to rock their kicks, and I think it's pretty cool to have a brand launching from WAY outside of the Portland ordinary. Although I don't usually go in huge for the skater kicks, I'm gonna rock these with pride.

bdga x Saucony Courageous Runners are here!

The guys at bodega don't mess around and don't play favorites. This new collaboration with Saucony is inspired by 90s colors and high school sports uniforms, but there's nothing JV about it. They've taken the classic Courageous runner model and mixed luxurious leathers with high tech reflective 3M and ballistic nylon to create another great sneaker. And of course they've added some sweet matching gear, too. It all goes on sale tomorrow, so get in line!

Be a Sneaker Ambassador


OSD wants you to represent your 'hood on what people are wearing and sneakers folks are looking forward to being released. Here's your opportunity to your own Internet Sneaker Show with YOU as the star!!


OSD Ambassador Program Overview:

The OSD Ambassador Program (OSDAP) enlists sneaker personalities and enthusiasts from around the United States and the world to cover the sneaker-scene, from their perspective and on their community, all-the-while allowing their personality to shine through.

The video footage must be filmed (mini-DV or Hard Drive) and edited by the Ambassador, edited and featured on one or both OSD video channels— www.o-s-d.tv and www.wosd.tv.



Why should YOU become an OSD Ambassador?


Because it's a great way to get you film career off the ground by documenting a topic that has far reaching interests.


Because what film-maker or reporter, new or old, wouldn't want to submit content to their core audience knowing that it will be viewed and appreciated?


Because the OSD Ambassador Program allows you to connect with other like-minded people that are some of the sneaker culture's premiere personalities and business people. Being an OSD Ambassador may assist you in creating other business ventures that may or may not be sneaker-related.


And last, but certainly not least, because everyone needs an outlet for expressing their love for sneakers. We've created it, so why not use it? If you don't someone else will. Believe that!


For additional information:

Please contact Dee Wells at 508-579-2108 or send e-mail to ObsessiveSneakerDisorder@gmail.com.


We Did it!!!

Yes history is finally being made!!!! I never thought this day would come. And thanks to us, we have finally have an African-American President!!!!!

Tuesday, November 4, 2008

I AM PART OF HISTORY!!!!


Ladies & Gents! Boys & Girls! Dogs & Cats!!! I JUST VOTED!!!!! AND LET ME TELL YOU..IT FELT SOOOOOOO GOOOOD!!!!! I had to be at work this morning at 6am so I could not do it this morning. While I was at work all I kept thinking about was casting my ballot for Obama and history! After the event that I worked, a co-worker and I had to pick up a truck in Northern New Jersey and GOT LOST!!! I was freaking out because I still had to do a report once I got back to my office! I got back to the office around 4pm, finished the report by 6pm, and started to help my co-worker get ready for our event tomorrow when...our van started to act like it was on strike!!! I then had to call our fleet manager and troubleshoot what was wrong with our recently serviced van, which took another half hour!!!! Once we got the van back on point, I then turned to my co-worker and told her we had to go! I had to drive her home because she didn't drive in, and she lives in Manhattan while I live at the top of The Bronx!!! Once I dropped her off and told her to go straight to the polls, I hit 70mph on the FDR Drive to get to the polls myself! All I kept seeing in my head were those long lines televised all week from the early voting states and said to myself, "Self, we are about to be part of history! No matter how long that line is we are going to stand on it, make new friends, chat with old friends, and LIKE IT!" Well, when I arrived on my block around 8:15pm, I was met with surprise..NO LINE!! Whew! I just rushed myself on in there with a smile and told the lady my name so I could finally make it happen! Folks..today was probably the most memorable day in my life..better than any birthday or holiday I can remember. This election means so much to me and millions of others..I could not and did not let anything stand in my way!

adidas says VOTE

Kevin Garnett used to write on his sneakers with magic markers, but he's grown now. This year, he and Tracy McGrady got their own Election Night kicks to spread a message he's been saying for a while: get out and vote. He's also been clear who he's voting for (Obama), but adidas insisted that these kicks just meant to encourage folks to vote............what do you think?




Go Celtics! Go Obama!

Lines for More than Sneakers

It's a beautiful day when more people line up to vote for our President than to buy the latest Jordans...



I know this is happening all over, and I love it!! I believe Obama has re-inspired hope in the US election process. I know he has for me. Now I'm holding my breath for a fair result and a historic new President!

PS-Rumor has it Sarah Palin spent not one cent of that $150,000 on sneakers. You're never gonna see her on FSF!

New Old-School Pro-Keds out now

Pro-Keds' simple and iconic styles are back, rebuilt to original specifications but with some stylish new materials. Classic and classy, if you ask me. I'm looking forward to seeing how folks rock these, and what P-K is up to for their 60th birthday next year...





These are on shelves now, and available at Undefeated (LA and Las Vegas), In Soul (Santa Barbara), West (NYC), 99X (NYC) and online at pickyourshoes.com. More styles and colors available for viewing at prokeds.com

Internet Shopping Guide #1

About a week ago I received an e-mail asking what are some of the best places online to buy shoes from. My response was Karmaloop.com, Zappos.com and Sneakerhead.com. I also thought that it would be a good idea to have a weekly (ill try and keep it updated weekly) Internet shopping guide. So here is issue #1:





All Converse are part of the Sequin line and can be purchased at Karmaloop.com, $85.00.
Use code WN13044 for 20% off

Roxy & Rily also $85.00

GET OUT THE HOUSE Photo Contest


We get lots of photos of sneakers and sneaker fiends at FSF, but this month we're looking for something different: "GET OUT THE HOUSE!" is our November photo contest, and we mean it. Show your sneakers a good time! Take them somewhere nice...

Here are the contest rules:

1) Take a quality photo of your sneakers somewhere you love (or have someone else take it if the kicks are on your feet). It could be in nature, in action or just around the way, but a spot that has meaning for you.
