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!

Salena Interview Up on FSF

What do Michelle Obama, M.I.A and Malcolm X have in common? They've inspired Salena Barnes, herself an inspiring and aspiring artist and female sneaker fiend from Berlin, Germany. Read more about her and her art in her interview with FSF journalism intern Janine Simon here.

Throwback-Estelle 1980

For those of you who think Estelle is a newcomer your are mistaken. The British Lauren Hill as I like to call her has been out for quite some time and let's hope she doesn't go off the deep end like Lauren did.

My OBAMA Kicks!!!!

Hey ladies! It's been awhile, but I have to get that end of the year/holiday bread to stack for the 1st quarter!!! I wasn't going to do an OBAMA Custom because of the ones that customizer VAN did early on in the campaign, however I received a call from a client who wanted me to do one for them badly!!! Let me know how you like them ladies!!! For those who want their own pair, the only way I will continue to do OBAMA Customs is if everyone who wants one really makes them personal to their beliefs and thoughts about him so no pairs are alike, so get creative!!!

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)

5 year old girl can dribble her ass off

Check this lil girl out! She's killing it with the dribble, and she's only 5! I put money on her being a lil FSFer too...watchout!

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
