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.

I set up a Flickr page for Sneaks Outta Left Field.  Right now it has the June ‘08 Sneak of the Month pics (that are also on this blog). Enjoy.

Inaugural Sneak of the Month (June 2008)

Drum roll please…badabadabadabadabadabadabumm!!!

Here it is, the very first Sneaks Outta Left Field Sneak of the Month! The ‘centerfold’ for June 2008 is the Puma California Shoe Biz edition!

This pair has been patiently waiting in its box since its release. On June 1st, it was finally unleashed. After getting a deep breath of fresh air, these sneaks roared through town. I LOVE orange, and splatter effects (such as the Puma Jetters) boost this pair even higher in my eyes. I was lucky enough to snag one of the 150 pair produced, and since it is rare, I plan to only wear these sneaks once. What better opportunity than my birthday? These sneaks enjoyed their moment in the sun, and they rest easy knowing that while they hibernate in their box, the month of June is theirs.

Sportie Tees

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

King of Kicks

Cooking Up Kicks

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!
