Being a <i>Sneaker Fiend </i>over 20 yrs, I've come across many hidden gems. From mom and pop stores to slept on sneaker chains, <b>JD Sports</b> is a great combination of both. Located in the UK, I've been a consumer of theirs for a couple years now. </div>

I was recently asked to select an item to try out from the store and I chose <b>Nike Air Max 1</b>. Introduced in 1987, the <i>Air Max 1 </i>has been a favorite of Sneaker Fiends like myself which made my choice a no brainer. Air Max's are one of the most comfortable silhouettes that Nike makes and always stylish as far as the colorway goes. The package arrived a little over a week from the order date, a big plus knowing about international shipping horror stories that has taken a month or more.</div>

One thing that <i>JD Sports </i>offers are "only at JD<i>" </i>items, which are items that are exclusive to store. Some Sneaker Fiends like to have "exclusives"......still getting the joy of being asked "where'd you get those?!". Another handy lil tidbit being a buyer of international stores, JD has one of the lowest international shipping charges. </div>

With Christmas around the corner, check out <a href="http://www.jdsports.co.uk/home" target="_blank">JD Sports</a>. The website is easy to navigate and if you're in the UK there's several retail locations. There's something for everyone from sneakers to apparel & accessories and you'll get your package in time for the holidays.</div>

Back in August, designer <b>Melody Ehsani </b>posted the above pic on her instagram and I instantly got excited. This will be <i>Melody</i>'s second collaboration with <b>Reebok</b> and it's scheduled to release early 2014. Having seen in person what seems like the final revision on Wednesday, November 6th at a <i>Reebok </i>focus group, I must say the pics do not do these babies any justice! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When I first saw the pic, it instantly reminded me of one of my favorite artists <i>Piet Mondrian</i> because of the colors used. The pair has a gum colored pump accentuated by a gum sole and features "<i>Love" </i>lace locks. However, if you're a fan of the gold spikes they were m.i.a on the pair that I saw, which most likely won't be on the released version. </div>

The <i>Luxe Sky Wedge</i> features an upper constructed of buttery gold foiled leather, two lace options of subtle sparkle and chevron, and golden<i> PUMA</i> lace locks. Double gold straps allows for versatile styling, there's a chevron detailed lining and my personal favorite part, the <i>gum sole</i> which turns almost any sneaker into an instant classic. </div>

On Wednesday, October 30th, <b>Nike </b>opened it's newest running store on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, NY. Located at 1131 3rd Ave, the store has all the accoutrements a runner may need and then some. In addition to viewing the ribbon cutting, merchandise and the store's layout, I got to see the warm-up chant that even got me charged up and ready to go! </div>

One of the awesome features of the store, is the <i>custom tailoring</i> of the sports bras and jogger pants. Something a short(5'2) person like myself can appreciate, having trouble finding something that fits just right. You can be fitted and pick up your garment(s) within a few hours!</div>

<br />
If you're a fan of YouTube's <b>racTV</b> or a follower of <b>@racstagram</b>, you know of the dope items that <b>Rac</b> have been dropping. I caught up with the man himself on the release of his new product the "<b>J Watch</b>" to get a little insight on how he got into creating these products and where he gets his inspiration.<br />
<br />
<b>Introduce yourself to our readers.</b><br />
Hello readers! My name is <b>Anthony Racaniello</b>, but most just call me <i>Rac</i>. I am the owner of <i>racPOP</i> and the man behind <i>racTV</i> on YouTube. Major sneaker enthusiast, creative professional, and general man-child.<br />
<br />
<b>1. How and/or when did you become a sneaker fiend?</b><br />
I became a sneaker fiend as kid, watching Jordan, loving basketball- to me the kicks were an extension of the game. So since Basketball was everything to me, I loved them. As an adult it's the only part of the game that doesn't make my knees sore, so I love it even more!<br />
<br />
<b>2. What brand(s) are you into?</b><br />
In terms of sneaker brands I try and be as open minded as possible- I wear a ton of different stuff from Jordan to Keds! I believe in “wear what you like” and while I may have a bit of a Nike preference my collection is very diverse and I will wear anything that catches my eye.<br />
<br />
<b>3. What sneaker is in your top five regular rotation?</b><br />
Right now I’d say the Anniversary Jordan 3, Aqua Jordan 8, “Knicks” Jordan 13 Low, “West Coast” Lebron 3, and Kobe 8 “Easter.”<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<b>4. How did you get into making the sneaker related items?</b><br />
Its the same old story, right? I am a creative dude, always loved that kind of stuff and always loved sneakers… when I went to look for products only to find they didn't exist I set out to make them a reality.<br />
At first for myself and soon after for every one else too.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPKDwkvfiomatBh6uZUc90CifGpH_RScPNkhnX5EEaDp9Pd4JkkRe7VSheF3qi_8qaBk2wSRPI2E0bydRBmLXfmhKhMpWlMlqLBC6b-gClti2OSOKFKJuG1VigqpxNjV_dkVX2Xrssij7i/s1600/6230324_3087575-plwfr2_l.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPKDwkvfiomatBh6uZUc90CifGpH_RScPNkhnX5EEaDp9Pd4JkkRe7VSheF3qi_8qaBk2wSRPI2E0bydRBmLXfmhKhMpWlMlqLBC6b-gClti2OSOKFKJuG1VigqpxNjV_dkVX2Xrssij7i/s320/6230324_3087575-plwfr2_l.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<b>5. What's your process when coming up with an idea?</b><br />
Its just like back when this whole thing started, it usually begins with me really wanting something, forcing it into reality and then asking my following if its something they would like too- if it is, I start making phone calls to make a release happen.<br />
<br />
<b>6. Have you ever came up with an idea that you wanted to keep all to yourself?</b><br />
The JWatch we just put out, today, was something I definitely wasn't sure I wanted to share, lol. They were expensive to make, I damn near lose money selling them, but in the end it has been worth it to put such a unique product out to the community and watch them get so excited about it.<br />
<br />
<b>7. Where do you see racPop 5yrs from now?</b><br />
Hopefully not much different than it is now, right now its me, and that makes it intimate. My favorite thing about my brand is that it lets me interact with so many like minded people, I'd hate to grow to a point where it became too much for me and I'd lose that experience.<br />

<b>8. Do you have any celebrity clients?</b><br />
I do have some yes. In fact I just finished a custom racPOP order for <b>NFL</b> superstar <b>Darrell Revis</b>! Very cool guy, cool of him to support, pillow came out awesome!<br />
<br />
<b>9. For the people that would like to follow you personally, are you on any social media?</b><br />
I am all over the place! Probably most active on YoTtube at <a href="http://youtube.com/WatchRacTV">Youtube.com/WatchRacTV</a>, Instagram @racstagram, and twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/racattacktweets" target="_blank">@racattacktweets</a>! I'd love to chop it up with the readers, get at me!<br />
<br />
<b>Parting words for our readers.....</b><br />
Really want to say thank you for taking the time to check out racTV and <a href="http://racpop.com/">racpop.com</a>. Like I mentioned, I am my brand so whenever you do it's you connecting with me and that's the best part about being a part of something like the sneaker community. I hope you readers get in touch, and wish your blog all the luck in the world, I'll be reading!Flowerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11106325447590087053noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4156287093313088088.post-39034243675411615172013-09-18T19:51:00.000-05:002013-09-18T19:51:28.646-05:00JEREMY SCOTT x A$AP ROCKY<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

With the fall and winter seasons fast approaching and mother nature getting ready to pass the reins over to Jack Frost, <b>Nike </b>introduces their <b>Sneakerboot</b> collection. With the exception of the <i>Air Force 1 </i>that has already been done<i>, Nike </i>has taken the silhouette's we fell in love with over the summer and added height, traction and weatherproofing. In a nutshell, they winterized your summer favorite! </div>

<b> NIKE AIR FORCE 1 DUCKBOOT</b><br />
The original SneakerBoot, the <i>Nike Air Force 1</i> Duckboot's WaterShield technology and padded wool collar upgrade an icon for the outdoors. Aggressive lugs on the original Air Force 1 outsole–with its classic pivot point design– provide extra traction. The molded vamp on the reinforced toe is made to take on the elements with ease, accompanied by a full-grain leather upper. Metal eyelets and hooks lock down the foot for total warmth and security, but the instantly recognizable AF1 DNA is still present in every element of the Nike Air Force 1 Duckboot design.<br />

<b>NIKE AIR MAX 90 SNEAKERBOOT</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The Nike <i>Air Max 90</i> SneakerBoot gives the groundbreaking Air Max 90's sense of speed an internal neoprene collar that holds and protects the ankle for warmth and support without restriction. Fewer stitched panels offer a clean, modern look, while a winterized outsole provides traction on a variety of surfaces. Reflective accents increase visibility, and the Nike Air Max 90 SneakerBoot still carries the bold color pops that made the original Nike Air Max 90 legendary.</div>

<b>NIKE FREE RUN 2 SNEAKERBOOT</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The Nike <i>Free Run 2</i> SneakerBoot combines the barefoot-like benefits of Nike Free technology with a winter boot height. The deep flex grooves of the Nike Free 5.0 sole and the molded sockliner allow for an optimum range of motion. A full inner sleeve construction covers the ankle for sock-like comfort, while a reflective underlay and color-blocking on the heel make this unique shoe even more eye-catching.</div>

<b>NIKE LUNAR LDV SNEAKERBOOT</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The Nike<i> Lunar LDV</i> SneakerBoot updates a pioneering long distance runner from the 1970s with plush Nike Lunarlon cushioning and a more aggressive Waffle traction system. The ankle collar gives this silhouette a fresh dynamic, and the reflective mesh underlay shines through the laser cut upper, giving this outdoor-inspired remix the capabilities to go the distance like never before.</div>

<b>NIKE ROSHE RUN SNEAKERBOOT</b></div>

The Nike <i>Roshe Run</i> SneakerBoot turns the instantly iconic Roshe simplicity into a fall-winter standard. The Nike Roshe Run's zen-like ease of wear translates to a mid-cut, with a quilted nylon textile at the tongue and forefoot, and ripstop ankle collar for resilience, warmth and support. The unique heel tape detailing and premium boot-inspired eyelets work perfectly alongside the injected unit sole's incredibly lightweight feel and natural motion patterning for the ultimate performance-informed everyday wear.</div>

WNBA All-Star <b>Ivory Latta </b>of the <i>Washington Mystics </i>has teamed up with female-focused company <b>Nfinity Athletic Corporation </b>to launch a signature sneaker. The <b>IL|12T </b>(pronounced Illist) is based on <i>Latta</i>'s initials and her jersey number. <i>Nfinity </i>and <i>Latta </i>worked together to produce a sneaker specifically designed to meet the physical needs of the female athlete. </div>

According to data kept by the <i>NCAA </i>of injuries during the early 1990's, they found that women were three to four times more likely to tear an ACL than their male counterparts. Which is a result of women wearing shoes designed for and catering to the male athlete. <i>Latta </i>told <i>Dime Magazine</i> earlier this year "The majority of my injuries were in my knees. So these shoes give women the stability we need and are also comfortable." The sneaker is ultra lightweight and features <i>BioniqTM </i>technology. According to <i>Nfinity</i>, <i>BioniqTM</i> technology is designed 100% for the female athlete and addresses the typically more pronounced Q-Angle in females. More technological info on the <i>IL|12T </i>is in the above pic.</div>

I came across this old post of <b>Sn'eads </b>by artist <b>Tyree Dillihay </b>that in my opinion reflects today's state of the sneaker game. There's some folks that are so committed to one specific sneaker brand that they refuse to give other's a try. There are so many great brands out there. I've heard some people complain about a certain brand hurting their feet yet they refuse to try another. </div>

The good folks behind <a href="http://connoshoer.com/" target="_blank">Connoshoer</a> have gone Back to the Future on us! With this sleek, easy to use app, you're definitely in 2013, but the whole point behind it feels beautifully 2007. (Back in the day, in online sneaker culture terms...) I say this because you don't search by size or cost. You're not buying and selling. It's simply a beautiful way to share your kicks, fiend for others' and share the love. Functions include easy uploading, commenting, searching, broadcasting across other social media, and more.I haven't had this much fun since SneakerPlay. =)</div>

Are you a <b>Female Sneaker Fiend</b> that wears a size 6 or smaller, saw a dope pair of sneakers that you wanted but was unable to get them because they're only made in men's sizes? I know this plight, and so does <b>Emily Hodgson </b>and <b>Emilie Riis</b>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After writing letters to <b>Nike</b> and getting disappointing answers, <i>Emily </i>& <i>Emilie </i>teamed up to create<b> <a href="http://purpleunicornplanet.com/about/" target="_blank">Purple Unicorn Planet</a>. </b>A fantasy online boutique featuring sneakers we'd love to own but are only available in men's sizes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I caught up with the ladies to find out how they became sneaker fiends and how <i>Purple Unicorn Planet </i>came about. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-86NII-JN6Gc/UfnN8Ku3IvI/AAAAAAAAAv8/ZOTM8_2UXIA/s1600/Photo.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="308" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-86NII-JN6Gc/UfnN8Ku3IvI/AAAAAAAAAv8/ZOTM8_2UXIA/s400/Photo.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b><i>Please introduce yourselves</i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i>Emilie Riis</i>: 27 years old. My passport is Danish but I've been living in London since I moved over to study. I have always worked in advertising and currently work at 18 Feet & Rising as a Strategist. I have been looking for that perfect pair of trainers and my search took me to Miami (the capital of cool trainers). Needless to say I returned empty handed. Talking to friends, searching online I realized that I wasn't alone on my quest and joined forces with Emily. We see a gap in the market, and we want to close it. It’s a very simple question – why are all women’s trainers always so bland? – with a very simple solution – make the cool men’s trainers in our sizes. If we succeed with this, and Nike changes it up, we would be really happy and excited about the fact that we, and all the people who support our mission, helped bring cool trainers to the girls.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i>Emily Hodgson</i>: I'm a 25 year old Creative Producer from London born and bread. I work at 18 Feet & Rising in integrated advertising. Still can’t drive. What a great time to be young – with the internet at your disposal. I feel infiltrated with data overload, and constantly feel like I've had a hunch or had a feeling about something – and not acted on it. From talking with Emilie, we worked out we had similar frustrations with fashion - why could we not buy the trainers we wanted to in our sizes? Fed up of sitting back and watching things play out, you can talk something to death, but actually making it and getting it out there was important to me. And it doesn't hurt that its about fashion…</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b><i>1. How did you become sneaker fiends?</i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Working in advertising you often run in and out of offices, back and forth between meetings and there is no point in making it harder for yourself by wearing 12 inch heels. Sneakers are the perfect footwear for a day in and out of the office as you are comfortable but keeping it fashion and on trend. Working in the creative industries we are both instinctively drawn to good design. Nike has a lot of well designed shoes. For men.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b><i>2. What brands are you into?</i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Of sports retailer brands, Nike has been a favorite of ours for a while. We also like the high-street brand Cos, and was also very excited about And Other Stories when they opened. Of more high-end brands, Stella McCartney always manages to high-end luxe with a London/sports edge. And the French brand A.P.C is doing some really nice pieces for women too – clothes and sneakers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b><i>3. When Purchasing a sneaker, what do you look for?</i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Colourways and trainers style. We are all about the darker colourways and mixing patterns and textures in new and inventive ways. <i><u>Not just pink and purple</u>.</i> We love all the sneakers of PUP – we’re particularly keen on the city pack… only available to men.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b><i>4. What are some advantages in being a female sneaker fiend?</i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Hmm. Sadly at the moment there are probably more drawbacks than advantages. But that is something we are trying to change with PUP.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b><i>5. What are some disadvantages being a female sneaker fiend?</i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
We don’t have enough cool sneakers. The sneaker market caters to the guys and spend less time making nice stuff for us girls. It’s quite frustrating that all the sneakers we like don’t come in our size, and never will. It’s a boys club, which we hope will open up soon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b><i>6. What/when was the final straw that led you to start Purple Planet Unicorn?</i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
We went to a trainer release in an underground Nike shop in London. It said that the shoes would be released in women’s sizes but after queuing for an hour we found out that the shoes only went down to a UK size 5.5. We were so disappointed, and by that time we had already started talking about doing something big, but this was the weekend we decided to actually go ahead with it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b><i> 7. What kind of reaction have you received since starting the site?</i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Empathy and support. We have received personal email from women supporting out cause and cheering us on. They are offering their support in any way they can, from spreading our message on their blogs to putting us on radio shows. It has been great to see how we girls can get together and support each other, even if it’s just to get some cooler trainers in our sizes. Maybe this can teach us to stand together more in general.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b><i>8. Other than the obvious of Nike making smaller sizes, are there any other sneaker related issues you'd like to tackle?</i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
No, we think that is our main goal and where we want to focus on generating a change.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i><b>10. For people that would like to follow you personally, are you on any social media? If so what are your names?</b></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
We are both on Twitter! @EmilieRiis @emilyjh13</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b><i>11. Any parting words for the readers?</i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Keeping on supporting Purple Unicorn Planet with the <b>#PLEASEJUSTDOIT</b> campaign. Send it to your friends, family or even local radio stations! We can only change the status quo if we stand together and show Nike how big our voice is.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There you have it folks! Emily and Emilie are on a mission that I understand and totally support. In question 3, they also highlight another issue most <i>Female Sneaker Fiend</i>'s have that we at fsf coined "shrink & pink".</div>

Pictures of the mint green <b>Nike Air Max 1 VT</b> have been floating around for a couple weeks with mixed reviews. Come to find out, mint has a two sisters to complete the <b>Vachetta Pack</b>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
While the top colors differ, what's unique about these pairs is that they come wrapped in a <b>Vachetta</b> leather midsole. As <i>Nike </i>explains it, "<i>Vachetta </i>leather upper is untreated and prone to creasing, staining and darkening in the sun. As the shoe ages, it develops a unique distressed patina and becomes personalized to the wearer." So in a nutshell, if you and several of your friends have the same color, they will each look different after a few wears. Hmmmm......interesting! Keep in mind that the <i>VT (</i>colored) part of the shoe will remain relatively unchanged. The <i>Vac-Tech </i>top and the <i>Vachetta </i>mid, sit atop a gum outsole. </div>
