These Vans shoes were getting incredible buzz last week and it is much deserved.  They look fresh as hell.

Saw these in GQ and decided they are my new summer favorites. Superga Torino’s are classic italian sneakers that have been around for over 75 years, and they are classic enough to wear with a suit or just about anything. Pick them up for $65 here. If white is not your flavor, they come in a ton of colors and leather.

Kind of like DQM’s bacon kicks of yore, but not.

The Adidas ZX500 Synthetic.

I can’t believe this shoe debuted 20 years ago!  That would put me at the age of nine or ten when my parents finally got fed up with torn sneakers and blessed me with the opportunity to buy a ‘skate’ shoe.  The Cab is going to back on store shelves this June, and back on my feet soon after.

Vans have been a part of culture for over 40 years. So why has it taken this long for them to come out with a book? I am not sure?  As of June first though, you can have the complete history of growth and success for the Vans brand.

The folks over at Nike 6.0 sent us over some promotional goods for their collaboration with Mr. Zogs Sex Wax. Basically, the surf wax in the shape of a Nike. Personally, the first time I ever heard of Mr. Zog’s Sex Wax was around 13 or 14 years old, and my friend’s cousin from California (I grew up in Ohio) sent him a bar. Well, when his mother saw that the bar was called sex wax, she freaked out on him, took it away and grounded him. This then lead to the random threat of drug testing…..The moral of the story, the bar symbolized rebellion. In the end, my friend found where his mother had hid the bar (they’re always hiding shit…moms) and kept it hidden in one of his dresser drawers. in his room, but it became a punk rock pin of one-up-manship.

If you’re a collector of Nike, or a surfer, or you just like sex wax and want to rebel, we are going to give some wax away. Send us your best photo why you need the wax. I know its vague, but that’s the point. Everyone has a reason, and people like pictures.

Here’s a little video from Nike 6.0

Check out these little gems. The Clae Romare Hi available at FUSShop. We were checking out our new subscribers to our twit and found this shop out of the UK.

Adidas originals are just that, original. It has been trendy for a while to wear sneakers with suits. It’s not a new idea, but if you’re going to rock that style make sure your choice of sneaker is original, and simple. Please do not where trainers. Think of them as a dress shoe with a rubber soul (not a prada). A solid color usually works best.

But it seems like Os Gemeos got behind the design of these Nike Air Max’s. Fresh for the Summer.  As always, buy them in Japan.

For the 60th Anniversary of the Desert Boot, Clarks created six special editions to the collection.  We are most fond of the style above, which contains a convenient pocket to help you stay fly through the driest times.  If only they weren’t in that material with those stitches and that ugly, pretty boy blue.  Ugh.
