The response to my last post about Krazy Bear Kicks was so overwhelming that I felt the need to post another example of their work. The Reebok Ultra Mids shown in this post were posted recently on Krazy Bear’s MySpace page and shows the designer’s love of exuberant colors.

The plain white leather of the Reebok Ultra Mids is given a blast of color by Krazy Bear Kicks. The Reebok symbols are surrounded by sky blue paints that remind sneaker fans of clear summer skies. The remaining spaces are filled with red and black paint that resemble the inside of a watermelon. These choices by Krazy Bear Kicks reflect the changing weather and the upcoming summer season.

The best move made by Krazy Bear Kicks was keeping white spaces on the upper. The owner of these custom Reeboks will be able to move from color to the absence of color as they glance from toe to heel. I cannot wait to see what Krazy Bear Kicks does for Fourth of July, Halloween and Christmas.

This shoe would be available in August but sneak previews have already reached the internet. The photo was borrowed from Sneakerfreaker. The main colorway is white. There is a cackle print on the main body. The lines of the print are in gleaming white and look outstanding. There are accents in red and black colors.

The toe box in cackle print belongs to the main body of the shoe. The accent is a large panel of white leather that extends to the side of the shoe. The midsole is white. At the side of the midsole, there is a thin narrow strip of red accent.

In the midsection of the shoe, there is a large panel of white leather. Above and on top of it is the Nike swoosh in black colored leather. The swoosh is outlined in red thread. The panels of leather around the ankle and heel are lined with red borders. The inner lining of the shoe is red material with a quilted pattern.This lining has a luxurious look. The outsole is black and complements the Nike swoosh.

The best feature in this shoe would be the red accents. They brighten up the shoe. The sneaker has a classic look. I think this could be used for formal wear as well as casual wear.

The physical toll that is exacted on skateboard shoes can lead to costly wear and tear for young boarders. It gets expensive replacing these shoes so skateboarders are faced with the choice of wearing banged-up sneakers or setting aside a special fund for new ones. Supra should gain some points among skateboarders with its new Supra Tuf collection of low and high-top skate shoes. The overall goal of the Supra Tuf series is helping skaters stay on their boards longer without worrying about worn-out soles or uppers.

Supra has put the shoes pictured here through a full battery of tests by its stable of professional and amateur skateboarders. The durable leather uppers protect riders from rocks, dirt and debris during street tricks. These shoes maintain the simple aesthetic used by Supra in its other lines while keeping boarders comfortable. Supra wearers can focus on finishing off their signature tricks instead of protecting their shoes as the Tuf collection premieres in June.

The company Concepts has collaborated with Nike SB to create a Nike SB “Lobster” Dunk. This shoe will be released on May 31. You might like to visit the Concepts website.

This shoe is inspired by New England and its traditional culture and heritage. Sea food is a regular and daily heritage that everyone in New England experiences. So, Concepts decided to use sea food as a theme for the design of this shoe. This sneaker is a limited edition and the first 200 pairs will have a special package. The box will have a lobster claw rubber band, a T shirt, a condiment box, and a poster.

The condiment box would contain a lobster shell cracking tool, a fork, bib, an extra set of shoe laces and a wet nap. The entire set will be placed inside a traditional paper bag.The special launch at Concepts would be providing lobster appetizers too. There would be a lucky draw and prizes would be offered.Each special pack sells for USD 150. The first 50 pairs of sneakers will be sold with a special, limited edition wooden box.

The sneaker has brown, maroon red, black, white and red colors. The border of the toe box is maroon red. The toe box is brown and so is the midsection of the shoe. The Nike swoosh is a deep shade of maroon. The shoe lace is white. The tip of the tongue is white with a red label. It is a good looking shoe. (more…)
