The Sneaker Saga

Mmm lovely! I wear sneakers with everything.

[Reply]

Those. are. intense. I would like to see the outfit you’re wearing with them! I’m sure you’ll rock those shoes like no other.

I would have called them “Moon Walkers,” if I had been in charge of advertising!

[Reply]

Wow, shiny! Shame I have such an aversion to Nike and their dodgy business practices.

[Reply]

oooh future-tastic! i have a similar pair of no-brand hi-tops in metallic pink. i think shiny = faster, so good choice!

[Reply]

Ash: Moon Walkers, indeed. I will call them that from now on! These are just for extra-curricular activities. I never wear sneakers otherwise.

Fiend: I have nothing against Nike; I’ve done a lot of design work for them in the past. Also, I am a supporter of Oregon-based companies.

pilgrim: Shiny = Faster is my favorite equation now! Haha.

[Reply]

haha, these would go lovely with some spandex pants and an off-the-shoulder sweatshirt

[Reply]

Yes! I saw these and thought, “She found Michael Jackson sneakers! ” etc.

I used to have a pair of cheap, cheap platform Chucks knockoffs in metallic sapphire blue satin. I loved them, but they were so heavy that they wouldn’t stay on my feet at the heel.

[Reply]

So shiney! I want some now.

Nearly all of my shoes are ‘practical’ because I walk so much, so I really must get myself something jaw-droppingly luscious.

[Reply]

Amazing! You can do a super slam dunk in those for sure! This is so fitting, I just booked tickets for the Orlando Magic game for when I’m in Florida!

[Reply]

RE: Fiend’s comment – you don’t even mind their using sweatshops?

[Reply]

Oh. My. Gawd. These are amazing.

[Are you good at basketball? I've never been good at sports, except a little bit of swimming.]

[Reply]

awesome! they will match your nails!

Next week there will be a photo of you covered in tin foil then the silver transformation will be complete! .. i would probably do that if i had them. I wanted a space themed birthday party this year. Not that people in space walk around in tin foil! But it’s the student way..

[Reply]

impractical sneakers are *always* the way to go. I wear a lot of sneakers at my job and i have found my favourite pair is a pair of “big kid’s” nike’s (i have a very small foot…) that look like this. they’re so excellent!

i love yours though, aw man.

[Reply]

M.E.: You’re totally onto me….it’s all about the MJ look! If he traded in his loafers for sneakers, I hope they would be these Nikes.

amanda lee: I am terrible at sports and especially basketball because I’m short!

Shauna: Tinfoil is totally the way to go! And you can recycle it afterwards…

melissa dominic: I have ‘big kid’ sized feet too but didn’t see anything that awesome! Wow. They’re like pop art for the feet!

[Reply]

Those are too awesome!!
And they’re Nike!
But this only reminds me that I hav to buy real shoes and stop wearing flats to work. Shopping carts hurt!
^-^

[Reply]

I LOVE THEM!

Ash was totally right about calling them moonwalkers. A very Nubby appropriate nick name for them methinks =)

[Reply]

They are quite ridiculous. But I appreciate the aesthetic. I’m a fan of space age-looking stuff. If I had those they would be my “David Bowie” shoes.

[Reply]

I want to see what you wear these with.
<3

[Reply]

Carrie: Yes, very very Bowie.

Star: Probably black leggings and a black shirt. They’re not for regular wear, just for athletics-related outings.

[Reply]

Wow! I’d be veeeery nervous if I saw my opponent stride up to the court wearing those. They make me think of Michael J Fox in Back to the Future; all you need now is a hoverboard!

[Reply]

Oh my gosh. I NEED these!!! These are way too cool. Love them, love the blog, love you!

[Reply]

Team them with some shiny glittery legging, some obnoxious metallic dress, some cool robot sunglasses and some futuristic toy gun – you’ve got yourself a good halloween constume. Heh!

[Reply]

Sophia: Aww, thank you very much!

Emma: Ahahahaaaaa. That would be amazing.

[Reply]

Nubby, silver is always an awesome choice. Have you seen the new white metal vandals? They are so sex! I attached a link to a picture of them… they are so gorgeous from a design perspective.

[Reply]

I’ve been wanting to get a pair like that, all chrome, and cover them in multi-color diamantes! Maybe someday…

[Reply]

I’m a fan of ridiculous sneakers, but can never bring myself to wear them when I have the option of wearing something else. I have three pairs of reebok freestyles, but my favs (and the most ridiculous) are these: http://checkyourself.wordpress.com/2008/05/26/reebok-freestyle-gold/

[Reply]

LOL awesome find! I’ve got silver sneakers this spring, too, because my mom got me a pair of sequined sneakers from Bebe. Yikes. I really didn’t think I could pull that off, but oh, what the heck!

[Reply]

If only you had searched for Nikes a few years back… you’d have been able to get ones that glow in the dark!!

I need some shoes for walking around for hours at Orlando (Disney/Sea world/Universal). Do you think those are good shoes to walk around in? I wasn’t sure what you thought of the comfort for walking in all day. (like the sole being thick enough)
