Custom Kicks in paperback

A new book that showcases customized sneakers has hit shelves. Custom Kicks, by Maki, is chock full of awesome, inspiring images. I am impressed by how many artists are featured in this book, from big names like Jon Burgerman and Jeremyville to artists I haven’t heard of before (but will have to keep an eye on). Here are pics of some of my favorite sneaks:

Happy 4th of July!

Sneak of the Month (July 2008)

It’s time once again for the Sneak of the Month! July’s highlighted sneaker is the Adidas ZX 750.

Last month featured a sneaker that I had actually never worn before. This month, I am showcasing an excellent sneaker that’s been ’round the block. The Adidas ZX 750 has nearly everything I like in a sneaker- Good color palette, mix of mesh & leather, and best of all, it is actually comfortable. This is the sneaker I turn to when I can’t decide what to wear. It’s colorway makes it versatile because it can go with white, gray, black or green. While other sneakers might hide away in their protective box, the Adidas ZX 750 is always on the move, interacting with the outside world. It has the bruises and scars to match. This sneaker also is wallet-friendly- I scooped it up for only $30! You could have an army of 750s for the price of one fresh release. With versatile styling, rugged construction, and low price, the Adidas ZX 750 is an excellent Sneak of the Month.
