The amount I paid for the three pairs is basically the amount I would have paid for one full price pair. No hook up here just some smart shopping.

I did this list while I was in Hong Kong and didn’t realize they were going to publish it, I would have definitely put in the Year of the Tiger Cortez rather than the LeBron VII. That was an amazing shoe for me this year! Most of the shoes on the list are the ones I have been wearing a lot, especially my #1 pick which I’ve worn to every city/country I’ve traveled to this summer. Go check it out!

With just a day left in Hong Kong, I just realized I never showed the shoes I brought along for the six week trip.

AWAY KICKS: Here’s what I originally brought along for my six week stay in Hong Kong, along the way, I went to Florence for a business trip, China to visit my lady’s grandparents, and Shanghai to visit friends and check out the Expo. With that in mind, I was really in Hong Kong for about 20 days.


HOME KICKS: Here are the kicks coming back home with me, the white perf Cons CTS I got while visiting the Converse Shanghai office and ended up rocking since I didn’t have enough shoes to wear. They also sent a box back to my office. The shelltoes I just got from EDC yesterday, the Year of the Tiger Cortez was copped for $50 in Taiwain by my buddy Rocky (Nike Shanghai) and the un-Supreme Blazers was also from Rocky who found them in the office as I was leaving. Many many thanks!!

I did this just a few weeks before I left for my six week trip, Footwear News just posted it. If you don’t have a subscription to wwd.com check out the screen grab below.

Worn: September 29th, 2009

Me in black pants, that’s a rare sight… I went to the Standard Grill with the lady for her birthday so figured that would be a good time to rock these super premium AJ1 and try out a pair of black pants.

L1010944

Worn September 27th, 2009.

It was between the Nike Dunk Tuxedo, Air Jordan 1 Prom and a pair of black patent Yohji Yamamoto Y’s that my friend Steven couldn’t fit. The Air Jordan 1 Prom worked out really well with its extra shiny patent leather, plus I wore the Tuxedo Dunks to my friend Brad’s wedding already so needed something fresh. I might try to rock the white patent Air Jordan 1 Prom or Black Cat Air Jordan III to the next wedding.

I wear these a lot, they are so easy to put on in the morning.

L1230151

Had to do it, this one of the best combination of materials on a pair of shoes in a long time, these are up there with my Ben Drury Air Max 1, he partially designed these too, Kid Robot Air Max 1 and my 3 Decades of Cushioning Tier0 Air Max 1.

Nice little surprise at my desk when I got back from lunch. I’ve been eying these since we posted them here and here. These are way better than the first ones they made for Pacman, these glow in the dark! Thanks to who ever sent them, love the no-note package!

Worn 2/25/2009 – 3rd wearing.  These are probably the oldest sneakers that I own and wear, the oldest pair I own is probably an og Air Max Light but I am going to to attempt to wear that 20 year sucker. I got these off Napsize.com two years or three years ago for $150 or $200 with out a box.
