Okay wow, I halfway thought the Adidas Originals Snow Chic was a joke but with Asics coming through with something equally wild perhaps this is a herald of the coming winter season for Women's footwear?

Seriously, take a look at these shoes. It's like a cross between an Onitsuka Tiger, a ski boot and a leg warmer. Roll these things down and it's like DAYAMN! Me I'm super fly. Supa Dupa Fly..

Inspired by the Sunotore RSSP boot which was developed for the 1983 Olympic ski racing team, the Snow Heaven 72 features suede uppers with the ability to cuff the top at any thickness. The bottom half has a water resistant lining.

$99 and wild. Available in 3 colors from Zappos.

DC Shoes has re-released and revamped their original "Clocker" shoe featuring soft synthetic leather uppers, thermoplastic toe cap, and foam-padded tongue and collar.

Not sure what the graffiti design is about. A collab possibly but a cursory search hasn't provided any clues. Pretty dope nonetheless.

$65 and available in 4 colorways at Zappos.

This is the famous Adidas Gazelle Mexico, from the "Materials of the World" series. A nice design for sure but know your history and check my boy Sonny who did this shit by hand back in May on a custom pair of Adidas Adicolor's.

Just in time for Fall (?) comes this highly stylized boot from Adidas Originals. Inspired by Adidas' rich history of supplying winter products for ski season this boot takes a chic shit all over those hideous Uggs women were wearing the past two summers.

Not bad for $100. I can think of ONE person who'd rock these but that's about it. YMMV!

High Snobiety has the full deets on perhaps the most anticipated series of Nike Air's yet - the "One Time Only" series featuring the Air Max 90, Air Max 95 and Air Max 97 redesigned and released with Air Max 360 technology.

Slated for release are The originals, The Deluxe, Clerk Pack, and Woven Air Footscape.

I'm going to be calling the local shops to find out about availability before the drool collects into such a large puddle beneath my feet that I'm truly slippin'

You know your sneaker fetish has hit ridiculous proportions when you're best friend presents you with a pair of extremely limited and rare shoes and just sits back to wait and enjoy the look on your face when you open the box.

That was the scene some 3 weeks back when my hookup gave me these UK Made New Balance 575 reissues saying something about only 3 being released for all of North America. Needless to say I'm stoked with my second pair of New Balance UK's. The quality that goes in to the UK models is award winning and the comfort and details really show.

I actually wait until a JL post before wearing any shoe I buy so imagine how busy I've been to not have worn these all this time so I could get the chance to take pictures and post here before rocking 'em out!
