And black satin, and magenta and green and pink and even a limited Colette exclusive blue. The much anticipated and even somewhat hated (I would not be one of those haters) Sergio Rossi x Puma collaboration collection is set to drop this January 26th at Colette. The Italian brand teamed up with Puma to up-date Puma’s iconic “Clyde” sneaker which first came on to the scene in 1973. The collection is the perfect combination of sexy meets sneaker. Satin covered classic “Clyde’s” and a high heeled version that takes us back to the early 90’s, this is a collection not to be missed. Where my chiffon baby doll dress at?!?!?
On my most recent trip to NYC I managed to get out and about and hit up the FILA launch party for their “Melrose” sneaker. This MissBehave sponsored event had the people lined up down the block…in the rain. Big thanks to Christine from MissBehave, good looking out lady! Radio Rose held things down and provided a most excellent soundtrack for the night. All the ladies where in the house this night…ATWG, Female Sneakerfiend, Highsnobette, Bubblegum Pony and Erin from MadeMe. And of course Nina Sky. These ladies do the damn thing! More beautiful in person they held the crowd at attention as they preformed…they even got the people to “put your hands up in the air”. Um, I was busy videoing, so I opted to not “put my hands up” but enjoyed the evening nonetheless.
The Melrose in action!
See more picts, nails did and videos of the ladies of Nina Sky doing the damn thing…including their version of the Eurythmics “Sweet Dreams”, sooooo hot!
Since Carrie Mundane’s SS08 runway show “Future Primative” for her lifestyle brand, Cassette Playa, we’ve been wondering: “When, When, When?!?!?” When will those Nike Blazers be available for the mass market or at least those few that have the “right” connects or in this case have access to a Tier 0 Nike account. The collaboration between Cassette Playa and Nike has been hot in the streets and tomorrow, Dec. 13th the UK release will be happening at the CP x Nike Pop Up Shop at Nike 1948 Space, which will include new limited edition and archive pieces from Cassette Playa.
SAT DEC 13TH
11:30 - 6PM
@ NIKE 1948 space LDN
477 - 478 Batemans Row, Shoreditch, EC2 3HH

The US release has been pushed back a week, sorry ya’ll!, so we’ll have to wait until next Saturday the 20th to get ours stateside….practice patience.
Watch here as Ms. Mundane speaks about her collabo with Nike:
Sneaker Freaker did their annual “Best of the Best” feature in Issue 14. If you can’t wait to get your hands on a copy, you can check out the feature online here. We did you the favor of sorting through and picking out what the ladies in the industry thought. Did you think I would choose any other shoe? Pro Mama for life! Haha, check out what the other ladies including M.I.S.S. Lori from Female Sneaker Fiend, M.I.S.S. Mafia from Sneaker Freaker, Tara from Trash Bag Aesthetics, the Club Zonder Filter ladies, and many more after the jump. (more…)
A few months back I gave you a peak of the exclusive Sneaker Freakette Smurfette tee. Now, I’m here to say that you can have one too!

“Walking in a winter wonderland” . . . Ok, well maybe not in these deadstock L.A. Gears. And, as much as we love snow covered streets, snow is most certainly not a friend to your precious kicks. We like the cold that comes with these winter months as long as we are snuggled up by a cozy fire where we can keep ourselves, and our kicks, dry and warm. Perhaps with a cup of hot cocoa with tiny marshmallows, like M.I.S.S. December’s thumbnail perhaps? However you do it this holiday season, do it with your nail kit tiiiiiight! We wish you, yours and your kicks the happiest and healthiest of holidays, and much love and new sneakers in the coming year!
