Big things to come in '10 for LAWF

2010-01-03T14:15:00.005-05:00

2010 will be a very big year for Love Affair With Footwear. I want to thank everyone who has been rockin with us from the start. February will mark a year for the blog. It's been a good year. But there is so much more to come. The website is going to go under construction for a while. So bare with us. Please know that you will be amazed by the new look and feel following the construction.

More LAWF apparel will be coming in '10. Yes we have the "Monogamy Blows" tee and the hat, but we have so much more in the tank. Look out for the fall lookbook (October '10). I think yall are going to be very impressed by the things we will be doing this year. All I can ask is that you continue to rock with us and promote to those who have yet to be put on to this movement. Once again, the site will be under construction. So bare with us. Everything should be back to normal by Feb 1. That's the goal I'm putting out there, and that's the goal I hope my team will stick to.

2010...LAWF

If you did happen to get a pair of the oh so coveted Space Jams, I found something that would be the perfect complement. Above is a poster that I found on http://www.osneaker.com/. The poster is entitled Space Girls. It features two beautiful women having a little "fun" while rockin one of the most coveted sneakers of our time. What more could you ask for?

I just ordered this for my room. Besides being just a hot ass poster, it is also a collector's item. Only 500 made people...be one of those 500 and cop one of these. Even if you didn't get the space jams, this is still a nice pick up.

The Madness is over...Space Jams '09

2009-12-25T19:26:00.004-05:00

The madness has passed. December 23rd will forever be known as one of the biggest sneaker release days in history. If you were on twitter or any other social network after 12 am, you certainly saw many updates concerning the oh so coveted Space Jams. The picture above shows just a little bit of the madness that occured. I guess some people really wanted these shoes huh?

Some who stood in line were blessed to get a pair; some were not so lucky. Were you one of those lucky few?

Visvim

2009-12-22T18:22:00.002-05:00

Visvim.com is a new online shoe outlet I discovered. You will find a wide range of fashionable shoes that are sure to catch many an eye, because...quite frankly...they're quite freaky. From boat shoes to high tops to suede clogs to slip on women sandals, Visvim does it like no other. These kicks are honestly some of the most originally designed footwear I've seen in a quite while and even if they aren't as "main-stream" as some of the more well-known shoe brands, they actually s*** on most of the things people these days call shoes. Check out Visvim now, in time to cop while they have the holiday sales going on. Some kicks are going for as much as 49% off (why not 50, I have no idea) dropping prices of $350.00 down to as little as 179.88. *gasp* And if you find these prices outside of your pockets grasp, honestly you can still enjoy these shoes as eye candy, because you'll definitely see a pair on my feet in the near future. Rock with me.

The Space Jams

2009-12-15T15:58:00.006-05:00

I am not really a big fan of Jordans. I've maybe had 5 pairs in my entire lifetime. Each of those pairs were used for hooping; not casual wear. But as X-mas '10 approached, I had yet to think of something that I wanted until I had a long conversation with a good friend of mine. She is an avid sneakerhead and she was explaining to me the magnitude of December 23rd. I told her once again that I am not a big Jordan guy, but she insisted it did not matter because...."These are the Space Jams ma nigga."

After listening to her very convincing argument, and doing some independent research, I have decided that these are what I want for X-mas '10. The shoes are probably the most coveted Jordans ever made. Sneaker blogs have been talking about this release since late 2008. The release date has been moved several times, but it is now officially set for December 23rd.

For those who know nothing about the ever so desired Space Jams, here is a little background info:

The official name is the Air Jordan XI Retro (Black/Varsity Royal-White). The XIs were originally released in 1995. They were the first shoe that Jordan wore following his first retirement. The Bulls went an NBA record 72-10 that year, which helps contribute to the shoe's popularity.

The shoes received the "Space Jam" moniker after they were worn in the legendary 90s movie, Space Jam. When Jordan rocked the shoes in the movie as Bugs Bunny's right hand man, the jumpan logo was purple. When the shoes were released to the general public in late 2000 with a blue jumpman logo rather than purple, they were quickly soaked up by consumers. December 23rd will be the first release of the shoe since.

The Space Jams could previously be found on eBay for close to $1000. This proves the shoe's value. So in essence, by purchasing the shoe on Dec 23rd, you could be making a sound investment. So whether you are a sneakerhead who will rock these in the streets; or a collector who will keep these in the closet (like some friends I know lol); or just a random dude who wants to make a profit in a couple months/years...these shoes are a must have on Dec. 23rd. I'll be at my local store at 8 am on the 23rd...will you?

Oh yea...P.S.--LAWF just had a come up yall. The bulk order of the LAWF snap backs will be ordered soon (end of the month soon!). 120 hats will be available. They will be placed on the LAWF online store as soon as they are ordered. They will be on sale for $25. Just keep the eyes open...

Tim Duncan + Swagged out shoes = Oxymoron

2009-12-12T17:04:00.002-05:00

Yes...the most boring player in the NBA now has some of the most unique and swagged out shoes to date. Tim Duncan, the San Antonio Spurs' all-star power forward, has had pics of his latest player edition kicks leaked. The shoes, known as the TS Commander LT Skeletals, were originally created as a halloween promotion. Duncan apparently liked the shoes so much that he continued to rock them.

And why blame him? These are pretty dope. The top of the shoe features the bone structure of Tim's foot; the sole of the shoe also sports Tim's bones. The shoes are currently only available for Tim (and his closet homies I'm sure). But they could be produced for the public soon...just keep the eyes open. If these go for public sale, I will certainly need these for hooping.

More LAWF Sightings

2009-11-25T23:45:00.007-05:00

This s#$% aint no joke people. I'm still receiving more and more love each day in reference to these hats. Once again if you want one, send your info to loveaffairwithfootwear@yahoo.com. You will be put on the list. I need just 70 orders to go ahead and make a bulk order. The hat will go for $25. I feel like that's nothing for this wonderful creation. Then again....I may be a little biased (lol).

But if you send your name to the email above, you will be put on the list and have the first chance to buy the hat. This also means you will get yours before anybody else.

Help me push this movement people....LAWF.

Also shouts out to those photo'd above: Bryson Green aka THE Lawf Artist, the partner in crime OK-O-YEA (lol), and Christian Bell.

2. The LAWF "cheating eyez" logo on the back panel right above the snap back

3. The LAWF >1 Monogamous symbol on the left side

4. Green top button to complement the green under brim

5. "Love Affair With Footwear" continuously written throughout the inside of the hat

Once again, if you want a hat, email your info to loveaffairwithfootwear@yahoo.com

Let's do it....THE MOVEMENT IS PROGRESSING

Wale--Attention Deficit

2009-11-10T16:14:00.003-05:00

Wale's inaugural album, Attention Deficit, just hit stores today. I am dying to cop this album. XXL magazine apparently gave it an "XL" (out of possible XXL) rating. All of my friends who got the leak say its dope. I've been on this whole, "I will not listen/support leaks thing" for a while; and I decided to keep it up for Wale's album. After calling all the big name spots, I finally found it at some small spot in Little Five Points. Hopefully I can find a ride and get it today. This new wave of hip-hop is so exciting. I think XXL's Class of '09 freshman will go down as THE strongest class for years to come...Wale, Curren$y, B.O.B., Asher Roth, Kid Cudi?? Come on now...who's coppin the Wale album....and when I say cop I mean either iTunes OR an actual HARD copy...

P.S.--Sorry for the delay between posts. It's been an EXTREMELY busy year so far. Hopefully all my hard work will pay off and yall will see the results...till then...LAWF.

Snap back samples coming soon....pics coming soon....YEEEEEEEEEEEEEA

2009-10-24T12:59:00.004-04:00

I'm not feelin these as much as I would have a year or two ago. As each shoe only boast one color, there is a clear lack of variation. Some people may be able to pull them off though. I'll stick to the tan and brown colored chukka boots. You can't go wrong with those. I can't say the same for these...

LAWF Hats have been ordered. Sorry folks. Only a couple samples ordered for the homies this time around. You will hopefully have a chance to order your own soon. In case yall forgot what they look like, expect a post to remind yall.

The Fall of Supra

2009-10-07T22:14:00.003-04:00

Here are some pics from Supra's '09 holiday line. I mean they're aiiiiiiiiiiight. What happened Supra? Oh how one was once so hot? It's crazy how things are literally hot one semester and not the next. I was big on supra last fall. Now...you probably won't ever catch me in a pair. I'm glad I didn't OD on em like some people. Fill my closet with hella supras and then be SOL. I know I'm not the only one who feels this way. I'm going to blog one day about the ever evolving trend of kicks. It's crazy. Till then.....LAWF.

Hats coming soon. Girls tees coming soon. Hella sh%#t coming soon. So you know the phrase...for those who don't....just keep your eyes open, and keep being unfaithful

Curren$y performs in Atlanta/I meet Curren$y

2009-10-03T19:03:00.006-04:00

For those who don't know, Atlanta hosted/is still hosting their yearly hip hop festival this weekend. The festival is known as the "A3C Hip Hop Festival." It features 150+ artists at 33 different events. Friday night at "The Five Spot" in little five points, my favorite artist in the game, Curren$y peformed. He was the second to last act of the night.

The show featured a number of "up and comers." Me and my dude Jamal became cool with one of the acts that performed before Curren$y. Dude's name was "Mike Terror." Him and his dj rolled around Atlanta with us before the show. Shit was completely random, but it was cool as hell.

Anyway, Spitta hit the stage around 1:30. As soon as he hopped on stage, I knew the shit was gonna be epic.

Spitta rapped all the faves. "Spit Vicious", "Blown Away", and "Modern day Hippie" just to name a few. He even rapped a few tracks from his mixtape with Wiz Kalifah, How Fly. The whole concert, I was standing above the crowd as I rapped to every track that he performed.

After he finished his performance, he left the stage. I was just chillin waitin on Jamal so we could roll out.

All the sudden I see Curren$y coming towards me. I was hoping I'd get the chance to dap him up and say good show.

I noticed as some other people were trying to talk to him, but he really wasn't payin attention to them. He pointed at me and said, "Im tryna holla at that nigga right there."

Dude comes up to me, daps me up, and says, "I do this shit for you." That shit was the cap to an amazing night.

That's why he's the fave. Not many artists do that these days. In all the commotion of mainstream rap, artists tend to lose that true connection with their fans. This dude peeped me in the crowd as a dedicated fan during his show, and then found me after just to let me know he peeped the dedication.

Shouts out to Curren$y for an amazing show. I was salty as hell though because my phone AND camera died so I didn't get a pic. But its all good. That surely won't be the last time I see Spitta live. Next time a pic will definitely be taken.

Kid Cudi Album Review

2009-09-22T12:22:00.004-04:00

As promised, our artist Bryson Green delivers his review of Cudi's album. His (Bryson Green's) mixtape is coming soon. I told you it was happening...LAWF x Bryson Green. Oh yea...a collection of up and coming artists may be arranged for a little "Up and Comers Club" type thing (lol)...The LAWF Music Group...? What yall think?

Anyway, here's the homie's review.....

Kid Cudi: Man On The Moon: The End Of Day

Album Rating: 3.5/5

Ok, so times have changed. Hard core rap is wack. Soul samples? Eh, leave it to Kanye. And really…really skinny has replaced really baggy. And amongst this new generation of change (which everyone seems to say about anything happening post Obama) there are young guns on the Hip Hop scene ready to split the shit wide open. I for one am a fan of these young rappers with swagger just as tough as the ol heads; because I quite frankly get tired of Jay Wayne Ye and TI all the time. These new kids on the block are ripped and primed with the tools essential for a complete takeover of the mainstream Hip Hop market…And then there’s Scott Mescudi. The black sheep of the bunch. But with a huge first single to boast, Cudi’s album released on the eve on one of the biggest albums of the year; and sizes up pretty well, if I may say. A native of Ohio, Cudi’s debut album, and supposedly his only, Man On The Moon: End Of Day was released on September 15, 2009. Early into the album the thematics make it seem as if you were listening from balcony seat at the opera. The beats knock with a feel of new soul, and Cudi seems intent making a movie of his life.

About seven tracks in though, in the Night Terror Scene, it becomes obvious that Mr. Mescudi looks to (vividly) drown in his own sorrow, and I fear to watch him would haunt me with the ghost of Phil Collin’s In The Air Tonight. The album feels so depressing at times I feel I should only play it to myself, as if to let others hear it would be spreading misery. A bright sport for many comes with “Simple As”…where hard drums met an ODM sample, and Cudi’s choppy flow and wordplay is crack. Although Cudi does officially give birth to the word “sapping” on this album, the guy does show rhyme skills here and there. On feat Billy Cravens he claims “But Ima be on time, when my stars align.”

Top to bottom, this may be the best album Hip Hop has seen in awhile (and let us not confuse a collection of songs with an album people). I personally like that Kanye didn’t take the reigns on every track, and I tip my hat to Cudi’s selection of beats, each complemented him to the tee. He introduces a new style, along with a new flow that many other “mc’s” are soon to be mimicking. And he has the ear of most hipsters under age 26. Being that he is 26 himself, I can’t help but draw comparisons, and feel that this album may have a College Dropoutesqe effect on Hip Hop…but then that thought is quickly batted from my mind..but it is there. Cudi is good, he will be the new guy to blow, if he keeps at it. But I don’t think he will, and quite frankly I don think he can. I don’t know if he can evolve the way the great artists do over time, and I don’t think he can hit a Man On The Moon: End Of Day every at bat. But I may be wrong. This album gives me faith; faith in not simply Hip Hop, but in music..good music. Faith in Cudi; hell man I feel this kid so much when Heart Of A Lion I feel like its me screaming “No No No No, Yea, No Yea.”

This is experimental. It isn’t rap. Before I’d heard the album I assumed it’d be his mixtape Kid Named Cudi times 10. And I was correct. This is not rap, it’s something else, but I like it. I think Cudi is on to something. He just shouldn’t be so sad all the damn time. I like Cudi Zone Cudi a lot. A whole lot. He has no genre, but he does have a debut album. And it is worth giving a listen because it is worth identifying with. You set the stage Cudi. It’s your time now Kid.

I just had to post this sighting. Yes..for those of you who don't know, this is Love Affair With Footwear's "Monogamy Blows" tee. If you don't get the meaning behind the phrase, comment and I'll explain. For those who don't have one of these precious tees, we will be coming with more soon...Just keep the eyes open, and keep being unfaithful.

Shouts out to my boy Kellz rockin the tee in the pic. Shouts out to whoever took the pic also (lol).

Kid Cudi Album

2009-09-15T22:23:00.004-04:00

Yes. This is not a shoe post.

We are attempting to "diversify the porfolio" a little bit. Rather than just sneaker posts, we are going to try to add posts about whatever. Music, Technology, News, etc. Basically whatever the hell we want.

Now don't get it twisted, the focus will still be FOOTWEAR. Don't forget the name...Love Affair With Footwear. Don't forget the slogan..."Infidelity at its flyest." We are still going to stick to the roots....LAWF

That being said. Kid Cudi's album came out today. I don't know about yall, but I've been waiting for this album for a good minute.

I copped it around 11 am today with the homies Bryson (THE lawf artist) and Jamal. We even "broke in" the album Cudi style. Had to do it in honor of Cudder (lol).

But yea...I've given the album one full listen so far. I can never make a full judgement off of one listen; so I will definitely be giving another listen or two all the way through before I can make an accurate judgement.

Expect a review(s) from the homie and LAWF artist Bryson. He will be reviewing Cudi and Jay's new albums.

Also look out for his mixtape. LAWF and Bryson Green will be pushed. The collab is official.

LAWF X Bryson Green

Keds x Opening Ceremony

2009-09-11T00:36:00.002-04:00

Bold moves are being made with these. Keds and Opening Ceremony collab with this collection. This collection is themed around the USA's colors (red, white, and blue); with a touch of western themed design. Each pair features a red bandana lining with striped laces. I digg. What yall think?

LAWF Snap Back Hats....yes

2009-09-03T15:35:00.006-04:00

Yall may not know, but we are seriously trying to push this. LAWF snap backs will be our latest piece. The public will be able to pre-order soon. For right now, only a select few of my polygamists get to rock these. They're hot though right? The only error is that the >1 logo you see on the right side in the pic, should be on the left. It has already been fixed by the company though. So its allllllllllll good. The hat features: an invisibly stitched red crown, black top brim, neon green under brim to match the top button, the "unfaithful eyes" on the back, the >1 polygamy symbol on the left side, and "Love Affair With Footwear" printed repeatedly on the inside. I think I did a pretty good job with the design, huh?

What yall think? Yall gon cop one?

A Name goes a long way

2009-09-03T15:19:00.004-04:00

First off, I'd like to personally apologize for the lack of posts. Its been a while. I, and my team, have been extreeeeeeeeeeemely busy lately. But no excuses.

LAWF Snap back hats have been designed. Me and my polygamists will have a small order; and we will then make the hats available for pre-order. Pics coming soon

Anyway, BBC/Ice Cream will be releasing these in their Fall/Winter '09 collection. Personally, I don't think either pair is that hot. I mean the white ones are aiiiiiiiiiight I guess. These type of releases just prove that its all about the name. A large amount of people will buy these for the simple fact that they are BBC/Ice crean...smh. It's cool though. If you think they are hot, you can cop em here.

Hottest shoes out

2009-08-14T20:29:00.002-04:00

K-Swiss is really changing the game up with the release. These will be released later this month on August 29th. These go hard...foreal. K-Swiss collaborates with Partners & Spade. I don't know how much these will retail for, but whatever the price. You need to cop em. With only 266 pairs being sold, you need to hop on these quick. Not only do you get the shoes with your purchase, but you also receive a limited edition ping pong table. Steal? I think so.

That whole paragraph was a joke. Well everything but the limited ping pong table part (lol). Wack?Uh, yea. Anyway I don't know who is going to be unfortunate enough to cop these, but I feel sorry for them. August 29th. I guess Katrina won't be the only disaster to happen on this day now...smh.

I can say that cuz I'm from N.O. by the way (lol).

Ahhhh Perks

2009-08-06T13:03:00.003-04:00

For those of you who don't know, Dwayne Wade (Miami Heat superstar) left Converse and is now with Jordan. It's about time. I always felt Converse was never a respectable enough basketball shoe brand to fit the superstar status of Dwayne Wade. Maybe he was trying to "bring em back" in a sense...I don't know. Whatever the case, he has officially left the brand.

This picture, posted by D-Wade on his twitter page, is apparently HALF...yes...HALF of the Jordan branded shoes that D-Wade received by becoming a member of the Jordan team. While I am not surprised at the amount, it still is something that needs to be recognized. Many brands have been said to do this for new members of their "teams." Supposedly the perk for becoming a member of Pharrell's Billionaire Boys Club/Ice Cream team is a truck (U-haul size) showing up at your house filled with BBC/Ice Cream apparel. I have heard that singer Teyana Taylor was one of the latest to be blessed with this perk.

Anyway, congrats to D-Wade. I am certain that your stint with Jordan (however long it may last) willl be waaaaay more profitable and productive than your years with Converse. Converse apparently offered D-Wade unlimited Chuck Taylor Converses; but he was ironically not a fan of the shoe. I think D-Wade is pretty happy with Jordan's gifts...

Sho nuff...Shofolk

2009-08-05T12:38:00.005-04:00

Shofolk is the sister brand to "Folk", the British clothing brand. Shofolk produces...Sho...es...

And in the ongoing quest for the next "Boot" (After the utter collapse of Timberland, ACG, Blazer Boots, Yo Mama...), I just want to let the footwear world at large know, THERE ARE OTHER OPTIONS! The "andre boot" has beautiful frame, comfortable and relaxed, yet different enough to make sure that they can be worn in various settings. With bootcut or rolled up slim fit jeans, chinos or otherwise, these boots have the potential to do great things. Can you work these shoes?

Gucci Flash x Mark Ronson

2009-08-05T12:26:00.003-04:00

I know, I know...to dislike anything Gucci is like...fashion suicide...? But, I just can't, in any good conscience, admit to enjoying these shoes. They look like a freaky "Sperry-PF Flyer" hybrid...and if I'm going to be paying whatever astronomical price these shoes are sure to run for, they need to at least look up to par. Now that I have that off my chest, I'll tell you what they are. Gucci and Mark Ronson have done a collab for the Gucci sneaker flash line, which will be offering 18 pairs of men's shoes and 2 pairs for women. They will be opening up their own "flash" sneaker stores in about 7 locations around the world, and will stay open for about 2 weeks. These shop locations are as follows: New York City, Art Basel Miami, London, Berlin, Paris, Hong Kong and Tokyo. If you are feeling these like brail, hit up any one of these fine retail spots, and stain.

Posers

2009-08-04T12:03:00.002-04:00

Come on now Converse. Don't you hate when you can tell somebody is trying to be something they are clearly not? Well Converse is officially the newest poser you will come in contact with. Apparently this shoe is part of their "Skateboarding line." Really? I had no idea they even made SB shoes. What skateboarder is seriously going to buy Converse over other popular boarding shoes like Volcom or DC? I feel like these should be rocked by Julius Erving and the Philadelphia 76ers back in the day. Converse just needs to stick with the classics. That's what they were known for, that's what they are known for, and that's what they will always be known for. I'm all for changing the game up and trying new things, but not in this case. Thumbs dooooown...

Bape Mandals.....?

2009-07-26T23:05:00.004-04:00

I guess BAPE is just trying to hit all avenues of footwear these days. Once again, they continue to bite the structure of other shoes and just add their own twist. These are just whoa. I can't really see anybody wearing/and or pulling these off. Then again, Pharrell will most likely throw em on with a Billionaire Boys Club tee, some Ice cream cargos, and some shades. Then go strolling down the beach and be the flyest thing with a pulse. I don't know though, these are pretty questionable. Bape Crocs coming soon....?

What's Next?

2009-07-26T14:40:00.005-04:00

Apparently Supra decided to take a little play out of the Jordan playbook and come out with baby sized sneakers. Babies can now be fly as hell before they even completely understand what a shoe is. I don't like the move of making baby shoes though. I think it compromises the overall effect of the brand. Supra is already dying out in my opinion. I bought one pair a while back, and that will probably be the last I buy (unless they just come out with a must have). The possible eventual release of more "hot kicks" for infants poses the question, what's next? Infant g-shocks, infant ray bans, infant levi skinnys? Who knows....

Bape Bouncing Back

2009-07-24T15:06:00.003-04:00

After some very questionable releases from BAPE in the past few months, they appear to be back on track with these. With Nigo stepping down, and their releases following his resignation not being very "BAPE like," one would have had reason to be concerned for BAPE's direction. I guess every company is allowed a few slip ups. These are definitely a hot release. These type of releases prove more and more that Timberland boots are buried in the same grave yard as Air Force Ones. Rest In Peace to both of those previously hot shoe brands. These Bapes, known as the "Manhunt Boots," would be a very nice look for the winter. Props to you if you can cop a pair...

2009-07-21T10:00:00.003-04:00

The "Nike Air Force 1 Fish Scale Print Pack" will be a part of Nike's Fall 2009 collection. I don't understand how Nike can release shoes such as premium SB Blazers, Yeezys, and premium SB dunks; and then add these atrocities to the mix. Fish scales? Come on. Scales and/or print of any animal do not belong on footwear. I feel like Air Force One has lived its life, and it is now time to just go on to its after life. Remember those days that you just had to have a fresh white and black pair? Air Force Ones used to be the s#!t. They also carried so many different names. It seemed like each city had their own individual name for them. New Orleans--"Gnikes"; New York City--"Uptowns"; Shreveport--"forces" (lol); ???---"ones". So whether you called them Gnikes or uptowns, I think it is safe to say that you probably don't call them anything now since they are not even warm anymore.

New LAWF Design/Logo

2009-07-14T14:15:00.004-04:00

We are continuing to push. You will be graced with more and more designs as we get them. This newest one is simple. Just LAWF with a heart drawn up in our own special way. You will see this on all types of LAWF apparel (hats, hoodies, t-shirts, etc). So just keep the eyes open, and keep being unfaithful.

What do yall think?

The ruining of Classics...

2009-07-11T13:03:00.005-04:00

If nobody is aware, I feel that fusions are one of the worst sneakers ever made. I hate fusions. It's like they are combining a lamborghini with a corolla. You just don't do that. I hate fusions. They compromise the legacy of the Jordan sneaker. I just hate them. Did I mention I hate fusions? lol

Anyway, these have to be the worst I've seen yet. So I just had to make a post. Dubbed the "Air Jordan Force Fusion XIII," these combine Air Force Ones with possibly the most recognized Jordan of all time. Putting a velcro strap on 13s?? Come on Nike. If I didn't follow sneakers, I'd swear these came from one of those "factory variant" sneaker sites like cankicks.com or somethin'. The White/Black Varsity Red don't drop until November 21, and the Black/Varsity Red-White don't drop until December 19. So thankfully I won't have the possibility of seeing someone rock these atrocities for a while.

LAWF

Going against the norms...

2009-07-10T15:32:00.003-04:00

Vans has seriously been coming hard lately. If you follow LAWF you will notice that they come with A LOT of different designs. This pick, dubbed the "Cojo" may turn some Vans regular heads. The model is simple, but different. These will come in a suede or herringbone upper. The sole even consists of renewable charcoal lining which make them eco-friendly. So let's help the environment and cop these...LAWF

P.S. October/November will be big months for LAWF. Yall know the motto...but in case you dont, "Keep your eyes open, and keep being unfaithful..."

Giuliano Fujiwara Kicks

2009-07-08T00:49:00.003-04:00

Hey all you new-fangled kicksters! If you know anything about Shoegame, you know that your footwear collection isn't complete without some completely off-the-wall, argueably "not-even sneaker"-esque shoes. I don't know about you, but I love these shoes. They don't look like anything I'd ever consider wearing, and I'm really big on doing the unexpected (even if the unexpected is unexpected by me).

They have a sleek rainboot look that is...honestly...kind of ugly...and I like it. The European flair reeks of modernity...giving the wearer an elegance that many shoes lack because of the orthodoxy that is involved in designing them. I feel as though these will turn heads, raise whispers from onlookers, and hell, who knows...if you're lucky, you may even gain a few new haters. But they are extremely individualistic, and if you feel them, you feel them.

More From Giuliano Fujiwara...enjoy...destroy...Draco Malfoy...whatever.

Plain and Simple...UBIQ '09

2009-06-30T09:13:00.004-04:00

This pick from UBIQ is a nice one. Since timbs are slowly dying out, there needs to be a new option as far as "the boot." Seems like that "boot" is turning into Nike ACG boots; but sadly, I am in no way a fan. These are a nice mix between chukkas and boots. The Fatima SLs will come in three leather colorways: black, white, and tan. And the plaid inner lining is a nice touch.

Reebok Omni Pump- Seven Deadly Sins Pack

2009-06-18T23:38:00.004-04:00

Since we here at lawf don't mind occasional partaking of the deadly sins, I have taken a like to this new release. Earlier this week Reebok three of the pump omni lites from their "Seven Deadly Sins" Pack. Eack sin is represented by a separate color with the current releases being greed as electric yellow, pride as purple and sloth as azure. Each sneaker also includes corresponding lace locks and inserts. Lookout in August and September for the last four colors of this pack that will surely have you LUSTING.

Nike Blue Lobster

2009-06-17T12:45:00.003-04:00

For those who are familiar with Nike's "Lobster Dunks," you will notice that these are similiar but with a blue colorway. These will be known as the "Blue Lobster Dunks." And yes, this is the actual packaging for the shoes. The shoes will come sealed in a plastic Hazmat bag in the custom concepts styrafoam casing. The shoes will also include a t-shirt, lace locks, and a hang tag. These are set to drop June 20th at the Concepts store; and if they are anything like Nike's last Lobster dunks, they will retail for about $150. These would be a hot pick up...

Jeremy Scott Adidas Originals: BY ORIGINALS NIZZA II HI PACK

2009-06-11T14:39:00.003-04:00

Jeremy Scott does it again. Perpetuating his footwear designer steez, he creates these shoes, centering them around the familiar Afrikan motif of cultural pride. Using Kente pattern for one pair and globe layout for the other, the designs point to the outside world as a source of inspiration. Way to think outside of the box Mr. Scott. When I find them, I'm going to cop them. Believe that.

Nike Dunks Hi Premium

2009-06-08T11:35:00.002-04:00

The London based streetwear brand Cassette Playa has for the second time now done a collab with Nike, producing these very unique and innovative sneakers. I don't have much to say about them except I'm feeling them. They will be released in October at various shops and a few select Footlocker locations.

Vans June '09 Releases

2009-06-07T19:08:00.002-04:00

Half cabs are always a good look from Vans. They are hot and yet do not cost a grip like other sneakers. Along with the two different half cab colorways, Vans will also be releasing an edition of the TNT II Mids. This edition will sport a black upper threaded with yellow, and will feature "Anti Hero" on the heel. These can currently be purchased at HUF, and will hit select Vans retailers in the near future.

Nike SB Mid-Top Premiums: A Love Story

2009-05-31T22:03:00.006-04:00

Once upon a time, there was a lad by the name of Lincoln Ashire Winsbury Ferginton (although he was usually called 'Lawf' for short). Lawf was known for his monogamous relationship with his footwear, that meaning he only had one pair of motherf****** kicks. How he kept this relationship going for so long, I know not, but he did so until his 18th birthday when his brother sat him down for a talk.

"Look Lawf," his brother started, "I know how much you love your sneakers. I mean, you guys share so much history. But I think...I think it's time you moved on."

"No," Lawf shouted, "I love my babies dearly! They've been there for me when no one else was!"

"I understand Lawf," his brother muttered, "but look at them. They're on their last leg. And in all honesty, they're kind of played out. No one wants to be seen rocking some else's sloppy seconds Lawf. Think about it."

Lawf looked down at his feet and although he hated what his brother was saying, he knew deep in his heart that his words were true. His all white Air Force Ones were now a dingy shade of Mother of Pearl, the shoes strings gray, the toe was scuffed beyond recognition, and the toe was *gasp* creased. Tears filled Lawf's eyes as he looked at his once pride and joys.

"I guess I have to do what I have to do," he thought to himself. With a heart-felt sigh, Lawf gently pried the Ones off his feet and carefully and quite lovingly threw them in the trash.

"What am I to do now," Lawf asked his brother, "I can't just walk around single," he muttered as he pointed to his feet.

"Not to worry little brother, I got you covered. Close your eyes."

Although slightly disbelieving, Lawf closed his eyes. His brother was a true shoe guru, and if he said he had Lawf covered, it was undoubtedly true.

"Okay, you can open your eyes," his brother said.

So Lawf did just that, and the sight he saw was so beautiful, so gorgeous, it brought tears to his eyes and a tingle to his toes:

"Oh big bro," Lawf cried, "they're...they're so beautiful! I don't know if I can choose any specific one!"

"Choose," his big brother asked, "who said you had to choose one?"

"What do you mean?" Lawf whispered.

"Welcome," his brother whispered back, "to your love affair with footwear."

Nike Zoom Harbour SB- Fish

2009-05-31T21:42:00.004-04:00

These sure are a catch (get it? because they're called the Fish edition)...hahaha...haha...ha...UM...I'll stick to blogging...

Anyways...I'm really feeling these a little bit. The color scheme is very warm, what with the sexy pastel green fish scale pattern, the light pink rim, and the white outlining. And with the warm weather soon approaching, a purchase like this will be anything but fishy (okay, okay, I'm done).

Adidas Doley Low

2009-05-31T21:23:00.003-04:00

iRocks with these summertime beauties. The swirl patterns give these shoes a lot of workability that other kicks lack. Outfits can either play on the straight color or can work with the secondary color of the kicks and compliment the shoes (as I'm sure all of you fashionistas and fashionistos already knew). The white base of these sneakers gives them the typical "summer clean" look that many shoes are going for, and if you are on your "I'm a big kid now *boop* *boop*" and can keep these shoes crisp, this will be a NICE purchase.

P.S.

The fact that they are Adidas instead of one of the more "mainstream" brands is NOT a downside; in fact, in a fashionably forward setting, it may set the wearer apart and above some of the other Nike/Supra/DC heads. Mmmm...how does that taste?

Vans Vault Supercosa--Summer '09

2009-05-26T16:17:00.003-04:00

These are an interesting release from Vans. Inspired by a biker look, these shoes come in two colorways: Brown and White. They also features perforations that provide ventilation for your feet during the hot summer months. These are currently going for $110. They also come with a Vans edition bikers hat...

The Boys-High Top Cleanliness

2009-05-20T18:03:00.003-04:00

"The Boys" is a clothing brand based in South Korea. They do things. I don't know why I like these so much, after all, they look like every other pair of black patent leather high tops I seem to be running into nowaday. I just don't know. Maybe it's the sleek classic look the toe of the shoe gives, like an extra-dope pair of Converses, or that one badass velcro-strap that gives the shoe a slightly Adidas shell-toe kind of feel. I don't know if it's a good or bad thing if I like a pair of shoes because they remind me of a different pair of shoes, but regardless, you'd catch me with a pair of these on my feet.

Diet Butcher Slim Skinny Sneakers

2009-05-20T17:56:00.003-04:00

Oh wow...these are really...something. I'm not one to critique kicks on people, but if you can pull these off...you're a God. These look like a colab between Nike ACGs and...if Megaman started a shoeline? I don't know, I'm just not really feeling these. I understand the patent leather movement for sneakers, however, these just look juvenile. What with the bulky base and the sloppy ankle/lower shin support, these shoes seem better suited for a Super Nintendo video game than a runway...I just can't say I give these the okay...*womp* *womp*

Foreign Flyness

2009-05-20T17:39:00.002-04:00

Le Coq Sportif...hmmm...yay or nay? And the "yays" have it! I do declare I'm really feeling these kicks. They have a crispness to them that alot of American brand shoes lack. The natural texturing combined with the simple color schemes make these a very hot buy. Anyone wearing these kicks should expect a lot of "damn homie, where'd you cop those?"-esque comments, and rightfully so. This is very popular brand with the Italians and French...and who even wonders why? I want them.

For the ladies...Nike Women's Air Troupe SWT

2009-05-20T15:02:00.002-04:00

These are an interesting pick for the ladies. I'm diggin the colorway and the design. For $88, these are a nice choice that aren't too expensive.

Newest LAWF logo...

2009-05-17T20:54:00.002-04:00

The distinctive phrase, "keep your eyes open, and keep being unfaithful...", has officially become a distinctive logo. The LAWF Unfaithful Eyes aim to represent one who is being cautious about their affair. This will be seen on many pieces of apparel from LAWF in the future. Many more designs and logos will be coming soon. So stay tuned to the facebook group, "Love Affair With Footwear," and the facebook fan page, "LAWF (Love Affair With Footwear)" for updates. Keep your eyes open, and keep being unfaithful...

Sabertooth Nikes

2009-05-17T19:10:00.002-04:00

Wolverine's archnemesis Sabertooth has been granted his own sneaker by Nike. This Nike Air Max 95 has been dubbed the Sabertooth Edition by Nike. The tongue is the most "stand outish" feature of the shoe: it has been featured with a faux fur trim.

Nike Summer 2009 Collection

2009-05-14T19:06:00.004-04:00

All are avaliable at Proper

Nike Hypermax--Tennis Ball Edition

2009-05-13T22:21:00.003-04:00

This colorway is sure to turn heads. It is impossible to not notice these if you see someone walking down the street wearing them. The colorway is clearly inspired from that of a tennis ball; and Nike did a pretty good job of matching up the color. These particular hypermaxes lack Nike's patented flywire technology. There is no set date for their release yet, so just keep your eyes open and keep being unfaithful...

Sebago Lighthouse Deck Shoes

2009-05-12T22:56:00.002-04:00

I am all about versatility and switching the game up sometimes, but these are a NO. These look like a cross between some step show boots and some boat shoes. Sebago is offering many more colorways, but I definitely think no more need to be seen. These are supposed to hit retailers sometime next week for $140...

Marc Jacob Vans

2009-05-09T17:48:00.003-04:00

Vans and Marc Jacobs continue to collab and put out hot shoes. The shoes feature an electric suede and corduroy combination. The shoes come in three colorways: black/grey, tourqoise/blue and forrest/green; they are supposedly some very comfortable shoes also. If they are priced like previous Vans and Jacob collabs, they should not be too pricy.

Jordan V Pack

2009-05-03T15:17:00.003-04:00

I made a post about these a couple of months ago. They have been officially entitled "The Toro Bravo" Pack. One of the colorways includes a red suede upper, and the other features a 3M material upper. The customized box was inspired by the wooden gates that seperate bulls from their victims. They are set to hit retailers May 30th and will go for $310.

Michelle Obama rocks Lanvin sneakers

2009-05-01T21:19:00.007-04:00

Yes. The first lady was recently seen rocking a pair of Lanvin sneakers. This particular model retails at $540. I have been saying since Obama announced his candidacy that she continues to get more beautiful each time I see her; and this sighting solidifies that statement. The First Fly First Lady...someone may be having a love affair with footwear.

Nylon Mag & Nike Collabo

2009-04-30T21:40:00.002-04:00

If you like loud and bright colors, then these are for you. The shoe model is Nike's Dunk High. The five colorways inlcude orange, yellow, green, pick, and blue. Wearing these will certainly get you more looks than you may want. I like shoes that stand out, but these may be even too loud for me...

New LAWF Facebook Fan page

2009-04-28T18:02:00.002-04:00

We are trying to promote this as many ways as possible. We are still waiting on those stickers. Right now we got the twitter: www.twitter.com/flyinfidelity. We got the myspace which is currently under construction. And now we have a Facebook Fan page. Just search "LAWF" in your search box and you will find us. Become a fan of the page, give feedback, and promote it!

Zuriick Sneaker: Something Like A Sun Rise

2009-04-27T20:46:00.004-04:00

For some reason, these shoes are just gorgeous to me. I'm a big fan of the "Wow, where'd you find those!" response to my footwear, so seeing shoes that I've never seen before really gets me going. These shoes may not have the main-stream fly guy look that so many people seem to want, but the plain linear design along with the modernized flare of a high-top/Velcro-strap combination makes this shoe a winner for me.

Raf Simons Cross Stitch Military Trainers

2009-04-27T00:15:00.002-04:00

In my opinion, these are more art than footwear. Once in a while, a shoe comes along that revolutionizes the way I look at sneakers. I feel like the individuality of this shoe is what warrants it to be labeled as great. This shoe calls for the wearer to have more than "swag", this person needs to be able to articulate who he is and what he stands for in to his entire outfit; because if rocked incorrectly, this shoe could turn out to be a disaster. Raf Simons tossed us a dice roll, but I'm willing to take the chance. However, for $1,073.45, this chance will have to wait until I am much more stunt-tastic.

Speckle Alifes

2009-04-26T23:43:00.002-04:00

Alife has been doing some very nice things lately. These are a hot look for the summer. The speckles cover the entire outside and inside of the shoe. These should be out soon...keep your eyes open for them.

For the Ladies...Metallic Silver Nike Vandal High

2009-04-25T16:10:00.002-04:00

These are a nice pick up for the ladies. I digg the yellow lace contrast. These would definately stand out. They can be found at select Nike retailers.

Unfaithful Sighting #4...Yes...The Yeezys

2009-04-21T16:51:00.003-04:00

Yes, my dude French copped the Yeezys. (Unofficially) He is the first person in the AUC to have them. I'm soooo jealous of this dude right now. I definitely won't be able to cop a pair until the summer. I'm not going to put my dude out on the price he paid; but just know it was a loooot more than the $215 retail price. Regardless of the price, these are the hottest shoes out right now.

Name: Steven "French" Parris

Location: Morehouse College

Brand: Nike

Shoe Name: Air Yeezy

Retail Price: $215

Price he paid: ....you gotta ask this dude yourself

Unfaithful Sighting #3

2009-04-21T16:44:00.002-04:00

Hopefully this definitely becomes a trend: unfaithful sightings about shoes that LAWF has previously posted. These are part of the Generic Surplus Spring/Summer '09 Line. Holy War is stepping that game up. Nore more "Pumai"...haha...its all love bro. Good looks on the feature

Name: Jihad Kheperu

Location: Morehouse College

Brand: Generic Surplus

Price: $70

Bought from: Urban Outfitters

Now this is a little better...Supra TK Society

2009-04-20T23:22:00.004-04:00

I made a post a while back about TK's signature Supra sneaker, and how it was one of the ugliest shoes I had ever seen; that particular colorway was. While the shoe is still not a favorite, these colorways look a little better. Look for these to hit select stores May 15th...

P.S.--In honor of TK being a part of (my favorite rapper) Curren$y's Fly Society crew, I gotta shout out Curren$y's album: This Aint No Mixtape. It can be downloaded here.

New Air Yeezy Colorway...

2009-04-14T20:44:00.003-04:00

The Air Yeezy has undoubtedly become one of the most sought after sneakers of '09. Many collectors were able to snag a pair on April 4th, but some were not as fortunate. The next colorway to drop is Black/Pink. This Black/Red- Grey colorway has been causing much commotion since hitting the web. A date for its release has not yet been given. So just keep your eyes open and keep being unfaithful...

Some things are best kept in the closet....

2009-04-12T23:21:00.002-04:00

These classic Converse have come back on the scene. They should just stay in the Converse vault. This white/black/red colorway was inspired by the Chicago Bulls. Hopefully we don't see Derrick Rose or any other bull rocking these at any of the home games....These are a definite miss.

For the ladies...Vans Vault Uniphant Pack

2009-04-09T10:26:00.002-04:00

As a part of their 2009 spring/summmer collection, Vans Vault is releasing these at select Vans retailers worldwide. The contrasting color schemes along with the unique unicycle riding elephant make them a hot pick for the ladies...

Continued Woes for Supra...

2009-04-09T10:04:00.003-04:00

I am usually a big fan of Supra. But once again I am not diggin their release. First the TKs, now these. These Supra Vaiders come in a Mesh Blue colorway. The color combinations are just ugly to me. These look like they belong somewhere on Duke's campus; not in sneaker boutiques. But if you are a fan, they can be purchased here at a retail price of $89.95.

Coming Soon...

2009-04-06T21:12:00.003-04:00

For promotion purposes, Love Affair With Footwear will be coming out with stickers. These will be all over so keep your eyes open and keep being unfaithful.

The ugliest Supras I've seen to date...

2009-04-05T13:04:00.003-04:00

I'm a big fan of TK (Terry Kennedy). For those who aren't aware of who he is, he is the best and/or most known black skateboarder in the world right now. He also rolls with Fly Society and my favorite rapper, Curren$y. But TK is know for his flyness; and for that reason, I am suprised when his shoes look this horrendous. I don't think I could rock these if somebody paid me. Sorry TK. Better luck next time....pics via Suprafootwear.org

Vans was on such a roll...What were they thinking with this one?

2009-04-05T12:57:00.002-04:00

In effort to celebrate the summer, Vans is releasing these as a part of their "Fruit Pack." Watermelon? Seriously. I don't know about these. Not even for the ladies....But if for some strange reason you are actually diggin these, they can be purchased here.

More from the ALIFE Spring '09 Releases

2009-04-04T13:59:00.002-04:00

Several of these releases can be found at Standard.

ALIFE Spring 2009

2009-04-04T13:56:00.002-04:00

I'm not a very big fan of ALIFE, but I figured I'd show off their Spring '09 releases. Some of them are kind of dope though.

Concern for Converse...

2009-04-02T10:02:00.002-04:00

Converse has always been a popular brand in the sneaker world. Their classic design has been around for decades. I understand the need to evolve, but Converse missed with this one. The "All Star High Zip Pack," comes in three different colors: red, green, and black. The glossy finish on a Chuck Taylor style shoe may be the turn off for me. And the zipper definitely needs to go. I wouldn't have a problem seeing a girl rock these; but if you are a dude, you might want to just stick to the classics...

Nigo Steps Down As Bape President

2009-04-02T09:47:00.002-04:00

I know this isn't exactly a sneaker post or update; but for those who are aware of the sneaker culture, you realize how big of a deal this is. Bape has been one of the most popular and one of the most "faked" shoes of all time. Nigo is reportedly stepping down as president and brand director of A Bathing Ape. The brand was founded in 1993, and has been one of the more expensive and exclusive brands since. Nigo claims he will still remain the brand's designer. He will also continue his partnership with Pharrel as co-owner and head designer of Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream. While his reason for stepping down is not clear as of yet, I'm sure something will develop in the coming future...

Air Yeezy Price and Release Dates Confirmed

2009-03-31T10:48:00.002-04:00

After months of wonder, the Air Yeezy retail price and release dates have been confirmed. The Yeezys will retail for $215 at select Nike retailers. The first of the colorways, Zen Grey, will be released April 4th at NYC's 21 Mercer Store, The House of Hoops in Harlem, and both the 34th Street locations of Footlocker and Footaction (New York City). If you live outside of NYC, you will need to contact your local sneaker boutique to find out when they will have Kanye's Kreation...Photos via Complex.

Vans Vault Needle LX--Fall '09

2009-03-30T12:22:00.002-04:00

This Needle LX model from Vans is set to drop in the fall. The model consists of premium leather, stitching around the ankle, and a rubber sole. I'm diggin the colorways. Vans is continuing to make major moves.

They are here...The Inagural Monogamy Blows Tee

2009-03-27T00:28:00.003-04:00

The first of the LAWF line is here. This is just the first. Please believe there will be SOOOOOO much more to come. I hope yall can digg this. For those who don't understand it of the bat, Monogamy=being in a commited relationship with ONE partner. But for those who are having a Love Affair With Footwear, we certainly know that Monogamy is not possible. That being said, MONOGAMY BLOWS. This first run of tees were made pretty limited. Besides the ones that are already gone for my closest Polygamists, we have a few that can be purchased. If you are looking to buy one, send your info (name, size, location) to loveaffairwithfootwear@yahoo.com. If we have your size we will hit you back. If we don't, be patient because you will see MONOGAMY BLOWS and many more Love Affair With Footwear products in the future.

Simple and Clean...Generic Surplus 2009 Spring/Summer Collection

2009-03-26T12:44:00.002-04:00

Generic Surplus is one of the newer footwear brands on the market. The calm and clean look is a nice addition to anyone's collection. I'm diggin the simplicity; it ain't all about the flash all of the time. Sometimes you just gotta go simple and tone it down a bit. They will also be retailed at a very reasonable price ranging from $55 to $70. They are now available at Standard.

Another Lemar and Dauley x DC Collabo

2009-03-26T12:38:00.003-04:00

DC continues to step their game up with the collabs. Once again, they decided to collaborate with the Brooklyn based clothing company, Lemar and Dauley. I'm diggin these. The shoe is entitled The Lemar Dauley x DC Xander. The official colorway is labeled sea green. They feature a full suede upper. They are scheduled to hit stores soon and will retail for $130.

Vans....Hit or Miss?

2009-03-24T20:26:00.003-04:00

Vans decided to collaborate with UK native and highest ollie record holder Danny Wainwright on this one. These Forty-Four Hi's will be a part of their West vs East pack. The shoes include a lot of features including the safari print on the back, but I think they are a miss for Vans. What do yall think?

If you actually think these are a Hit for Vans and want to cop a pair, you can find them at select Vans retailers. Or if not, you can always try to find a pair your size on eBay.
