K-Swiss, the athletic sneaker brand popular in the '90s (bonus points for anyone that remembers these—thanks, dad) but very much still around, recently announced a very on-trend and chic collection, which dropped last week. It’s a “Clueless” branded shoe collection. Yes, this is really happening. And yes, there is lots of plaid...
If you’ve been keeping up with our latest news on Crocs, you’d know that Post Malone has already released two special editions that sold out in a matter of minutes. Remember that "Damn Daniel" meme? We almost wish that someone would create a parody video about Posty and his Crocs, because he's back at it…
Branded footwear is having a moment. Everywhere you look, big names are collaborating with shoe brands, bringing the promo and retail worlds together. We talked to noted sneakerhead Bill Feldberg, of promo company Something Inked, who gave us the details on the footwear phenomenon. Bill told us about Nike's 420 releases, Vans' licensing brilliance, Crocs' unlikely ascent to "cool," promo sales opportunities with footwear brands and much more...
While Easter Sunday compelled believers to feel holy and anointed, many attendees at the church service offered by Kanye West ended up wholly disappointed. Through the gathering, held in conjunction with the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, fans had the opportunity to purchase Kanye's "Sunday Service" merch. And while the communal nature of the…
On Saturday, 4/20, the day that ganja lovers have designated as their own, Nike released its latest nod to their infatuation, issuing the SB Dunk High Walk the Dog kicks. The shoes feature many interesting decoration features, including a brown mark on the outsoles that looks like, well, dog poop. That's just one of many design elements that make the shoes stand out...
Company stores or exclusive giveaway events are awesome ways for employees to show off company pride and get a few freebies (or at least heavily discounted items) in the process. We saw how much demand there was for Tesla merchandise when one of the branches set up a pop-up shop for workers. But what happens…
We will never find ourselves short on traditions in the U.S., and we are always eager to add a few more to our list. Thanks to a partnership between Dunkin’ and Saucony, it is starting to look as if we can come to expect an annual sneaker release in conjunction with the Boston Marathon. For…
In 'Back to the Future Pt. II' we were all promised that, in the future (which is now the past, actually), we'd all have self-lacing shoes. It turned out to be a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy, as Nike made the shoes Marty McFly wore in the year 2015 as a promotional product. As these…
For the opening track on their 1969-issued eponymous debut album, Led Zeppelin chose to blast eardrums with “Good Times, Bad Times.” Five decades after the release, one can easily say that the English rockers have experienced more of the former than of the latter, and Vans is helping to commemorate the nine-tune masterpiece’s anniversary through…
We are pretty fond of misnomers around here, with Frederic Chopin’s “Minute Waltz,” which takes no fewer than 90 seconds to play, among our favorites. Since the Grammy Awards “gift bag” has come to include items valued at more than $30,000, we are tempted to add it to our misnomers list, as that thing has come to fit enough stuff to give Santa’s sack a run for its money...
