So me and Amoney was chillin last week after our meeting at Milkshake Kicks and it was a very funfilled night. We had nothing better to do than watch youtube all night till like 3am! But earlier that day Amoney decided to start in her own music/dance video to mclyte's Paper-Thin and I caught that on camera baby! It gets better...We was in Target!
Who needs to go to a club when you got two friends(one with alot of energy to dance), a vid cam, an ipod and a store that sells electronic equipment? Free Fun Folks!
Enjoy...

New Puma First Rounds
Puma just released a new set of their first rounds. The colors consist royal blue and black, and if you look closely you will see Puma's name as an all over print over the shoe. I guess since the Alife x Puma First rounds did so well, Puma decided to run with it. Check your local puma accounts for more info.

New Women's Air Stab
Air stabs are starting to get more shine this year. This release of the stabs consist of frost blue/white/purple colorway and some cracked leather. The stabs have had some decent colorways but I don't know what happened with this one. But then again I'm not really a air stab fan. These are available at Finishline.

NYC's Reebok Freestyle and Event Pics
The final installment of the collection, NYC, will debut in
November highlighting New York's famous yellow taxi and graphic prints
of popular street names. NYC will be represented by actress Sheetal
Sheth, who stars in the upcoming film "Looking for Comedy in the Muslim
World."
Lil Kim reps for FSF! I've seen Kim around before and almost never see her in sneakers. That night she was wearing some black and gold Freestyles that were very dope.
Group shot of the Reebok Freestyle World Collections "inspirationalists" (is that a word?) Nice ladies and yes they all got FSF flyers and promised to check our blog/myspace/forums.

Reebok's Freestyle World Tour Collection
The Tokyo Freestyle sneaker debuted in February represented by
Ai Yasuda, one of Tokyo's first NFL cheerleaders. The sneaker reflects
the city's energy with bright neon colors and an infused foil print
similar to Tokyo's subway map.
This September, during London Fashion Week, the London piece of
the collection will debut in all its patriotic glory as the Tower of
London's iconic raven is embroidered on the Freestyle's heel. The London
collection will be represented by the talented DJ Nikki Beatnik.
The Paris sneaker makes it debut in March and will be
represented by French singer/songwriter Yelle (listen to one of her
songs on our MySpace page: www.myspace.com/rbkexclusive). The shoe
design is a bit femme fatale as it incorporates pink bows with it's
black and red theme.
The Madrid line debuts in July and is represented by top Spanish model
Bimba Bose. The sneakers and products are inspired by traditional
Spanish flamenco dancers.
The New Delhi kicks will become available in May and will be** All pics and text taken from the Reebok Freestyle World Tour Collection site @ www.flickr.com/photos/15980883@N08/sets/72157603947374514/
represented by Bollywood actress Sagarika Ghatge. The Indian-inspired
sneakers and apparel resemble traditional Indian clothing with vibrant
colors and adornments.
At Last, Sneaker Design School
After a couple weeks wondering if I had been robbed, all my materials and new wooden Lasts finally arrived, just in time for the final pattern cutting lesson. A morning was spent getting to know the osilating sanding machine, reshaping the toe of the Last and taking a fine layer of skin off my knuckles- that hurt.
Waiting on materials is one of the most frustrating aspects of trying to plan a project. After pi*sing around with emails back and forth and quotes so ridiculous-I felt like robbing a bank! I swallowed my pride and handed over the hard earned cash for some of the softness leather known to man.
I've basically bought up a cows worth of black leather, and a fellow cow full of white leather. The quote for buying all the different colours I want to work with came to more than two months rent, so it wasn't realistically going to happen. Thinking sideways isn't a newly acquired skill, so re-thinking how the prints and colours are going to be used came naturally. Etching, printing, lazor cutting and flocking are all being tested, and hopefully will achieve some time-worthy results.
A few days have also been spent at a sewing machine, narrowly missing my fingers at times and going over the lines at others.
Below are a couple pics of the best mock-ups I've made so far. I'm currently adjusting some pattern piece's so still have a few more to make.
An answer to the ever problematic sole is also being investigated- my uni doesn't really support the making of sneakers, it's famous for heels so the focus stays there. The cost of a sole unit mold can be in excess of £2000 and thats without fancy bits like an air-bubble, not really realistic for a lone student so I need to find away around that and fake it. Wish me luck....

Women Are Wack
Martha Rosler’s collage Body Beautiful, or Beauty Knows No Pain: Hot House, or Harem (1966-72)
For the first time the United States has a viable female presidential candidate, which gives us an excellent motivation to learn the feminist history that was glossed over in school. Fortuitously, WACK!: Art and the Feminist Revolution, has found its way to New York after premiering at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles last year. WACK! is the first comprehensive exploration of the international foundations of feminist art.
The 120 artists and artist groups work in a broad range of media that reflects the themes of geography, formal concerns, collective aesthetic, and political impulses. The exhibition covers 1968-1980 with a focus on the breadth of international feminist art while also highlighting New York City’s role. The artists featured are both women who were involved in the feminist movement and women who did not necessarily embrace feminist ideologies but were influenced by them.
In addition to the standing exhibit, P.S.1 is hosting weekly events to bring the featured artists together with a younger generation. This Saturday, February 23rd, from 2pm-6pm, the feminist genderqueer artist collective LTTR is sponsoring a roving installation by the editors of their journal to encourage conversation. At 4pm on Sunday February 24th check out Pink Bloque Revisited, an interactive workshop with re-united members of the radical Chicago street dance troupe at 4pm so you can get your dance on before a night out.
Click here for more events.
On exhibit through May 12, 2008.

Converse turns 100! part 3
Dear Converse,
I love the Black 5s Century Pack. It's beautiful, and it honors some of the game's best players who are often overlooked. In fact it inspired me to suggest another Century Pack for you: the All American Redheads.
All American Redhead Spanky Losier (above)
This amazing team barnstormed America for 50 years, bringing some of the best women's basketball to gyms from Alaska to Florida. From 1936-1986, these women played by men's rules (remember early on women's rules were quite different), and regularly beat men's teams. And all this despite the fact that they sometimes played over 200 games a season, had to drive everywhere (in a team limo, not even a bus), and even put on halftime shows while the guys' teams rested. (Like one woman who would kneel at the free throw line and calmly make up to 50 baskets in a row!) Oh, did I mention that they wore Converse?
