Nike Air Griffey’s on Portland Trailblazer’s Center Meyers Leonard

Formal Sunday: These oxfords are ridiculously classy. Talk about a black dress shoe that sets itself apart from anything out there. The bubblegum pink outsole is the perfect pop of color, especially for the up and coming spring season. Two thumbs up 

I don’t know how to react to these. I think I love these new chukkas. They remind me of a mix of Keeps and Cole Haans. I can just imagine pairing these up with a nice pair of 511’s and a chambray oxford shirt. Cool and laid back. From Visvim, FBT Reno JP *F.I.L. Exclusive $675

This week, I am so fortunate to have my cousin and her husband in from Amsterdam. Talk about a love for the Air Max. With my brother Josh( nolostmotion.tumblr.com) & Joan and Patrick

Womenswear Wednesday: female oxfords are in high demand & these Angela Scotts are nothing short of phenomenal! The two tone color way has spring written all over it and the brogue details on the forefoot makes this pair very special. Photo by Kristen Somody Whalen.

Thriller Thursday: Could it be? A newly owned Cole Haan x Nike collaboration. These long wingtips smashed up against the coveted Air outsole with a waffle skin…This photo makes me think about the potential for a Cole Haan x Free footwear coming out in the future. The possibilities are virtually endless and the fact that Cole Haan is no longer owned by Nike doesn’t rule out any future collaborations among the two footwear companies.

Womenswear Wednesday: There was a time not too long ago that women had a limited choice of shoes to wear to be considered fashionable. High heels to extravagant sandals, women around the world took pride in having something on their feet other than a piece of canvas or synthetic material held together by shoe laces and glue. Now, women have embraced the sneaker. I feature one of my favorite fashionable sneakers on women, the good old Converse All Stars. Sneaker wedges are on the rise and I even saw an tv advertisement yesterday selling wedge inserts for your current high top sneakers.
