Sportie LA teamed up with Dirtymilk to bring us a line of tees. Scope out these highlights:

I like them both, but I LOVE “Cookin’ Up Kicks Since ‘85″. The pizza-box graphic works perfectly with the text. It is definitely on my must-buy list when I get to Sportie LA at the end of June. So here’s the deal- I tell you about the shirts, and you agree not to buy them all out- save me one. Anyway, Sportie LA’s apparel page has more tee examples. Enjoy!

I have started 2 features beyond the standard blog. Sneaker Love showcases sneaker-related art, memorabilia, and merchandise. The first post showcases Jason Markk sneaker cleaning kits. Here’s a preview:

Sneak of the Month will start in June and will highlight a shoe that people will want to know. Sometimes it might be a fresh sneaker that just dropped, or it may be a classic shoe that has held its own over time. Tune in this June to see the inaugural Sneak of the Month.

Why do we do it? Why do we wait in the cold for a fresh pair of shoes? Why do we chase down the few pairs produced? This isn’t like trying to snag a tickle-me elmo for Christmas- this is an ongoing, endless quest for footwear that many people don’t even wear. Sound a bit odd? A bit obsessive? I’m sure it does to outsiders. But true heads know that being the first in your town to rock a fresh pair is like no other feeling. Watching your new kicks snap necks as you walk down the streets always puts a smile on your face.

Some people do it to have the freshest kicks to wear. Some like to have a pristine collection that will never be worn. At the end of the day, though, everyone is drawn to having fresh sneaks that express their individuality and personality. With so many sneaker choices, there is plenty of room for individual taste. That’s what Sneaks Outta Left Field is all about. My personal taste is primarily German shoes- If you see me on the street, I will probably be rocking Pumas or Adidas. True sneaker heads collect sneakers that truly represent who he/she is. Real fans don’t chase blindly after the most hyped release. We sift through the pile of sneakers to find the ones that really fit our personality.

Now you know where I’m coming from. Stop by for sneakers and news that speak to me. Hopefully you’ll find some good sneaks in here that speak to you too. Until the next time, stay fresh.
