Listen Up Ladies and of course Gentlemen! HUF, San Francisco will be debuting two new sneakers at 808 Sutter Street tomorrow morning. Yup that means all you die hard fans better set your alarm clocks. The first sneaker comes in both mens and womens sizes. Designed by Hanni El Khatib with the ADIDAS client in mind he was inspired by “1920’s railroad workers and the Johnny Cash album ‘Blue Train’â€?. These cool sneakers also come with a pinstriped shoe bag and T-shirt. At $128.00 pop these are definitely not recession prices but will have you kicking “the bluesâ€?. Of course nobody should go empty handed. Check out these HUF X Chukka snakeskin sneakers by VANS. Sleek, Fresh, and Fashion Forward. All these sneakers are Limited Edition so expect em to sell out quick! See you there.

Here are a few more picts from the Adidas Original Party that happened in Berkeley a few weeks back. The ladies of Hot Tub are no joke. They hella go! They get stupid, hyphy and dumb! There’s moshing, rolling around on the ground, usually some stage diving (if there is a stage) and most certainly crowd surfing. All bets are off when they throw down, even the mannequins aren’t safe!! See more picts and video here.

Rolled out to the Adidas Original Store in Berkeley a couple of weeks ago. Hottub rocked the party hard, see the action here. We rolled 3 deep and decided to all rock out Mama joints!
See head, shoulders, knees and toes after the jump!
The fresh and funky ladies of Hot Tub performed at the adidas Berkeley store a few weeks back on July 18th and we had the pleasure of watching them turn the store into a full on dance party. I don’t think the shop was ready to have these ladies perform in store - they were like a whirlwind running to different corners of the shop, on displays and mannequins, and of course, dancing it up with the crowd. Check out more pics and videos after the jump.
A few weeks back the M.I.S.S. Crew was in full effect to check out It’s Pop It’s Art hosted by iLL-Literacy, a Bay Area spoken word crew. There were four of us that made it out: Lexx, Michelle, Liz and myself. Here’s a peak into what Lexx and I wore - Michelle and Liz’s outfits coming up shortly!
If I remember correctly, I was having a pretty bad day and had to drag myself out of the apartment. Comfort is always key for me and I took it to new heights by going out in sweatpants. I know, I know, I am officially contributing to the pajamafication of the U.S.A. It’s not my fault that they are the best sweatpants EVA. Anyway, you heard it here first, Sweatpants Are The New Black.

Summer, Summer, Summertiiiiiiiiiime! Introducing M.I.S.S. July, the Upper Playground Adidas Superstar BBQ. Part of the 35th Anniversary Expression Series, what doesn’t say Summer more than a BBQ! So you know we had to hook up some finger lick’n nails…all the necessities for your ‘Q: Hot Dogs, Chips ‘n Dip (please believe those are real chips and French onion dip, we certainly don’t play, especially when it comes to nails…and food!), Drank, Hamburger on a Sesame seed bun, and some watermelon! Just thinking of summer and bbq’s brings to mind a certain back ‘n the day song…and so we leave you with this…
Yeah I got on sneaks but I need a new pair
Cause basketball courts in the summer got girls there
The temperatures about 88
Hop in the water plug just for old times sake
Break to ya crib change your clothes once more
Cause you’re invited to a barbecue that’s starting at 4
Sitting with your friends cause y’all reminisces
About the days growing up and the first person you kiss
And as I think back makes me wonder how
The smell from a grill could spark up nostalgia*
*All song Lyrics from “Summertime” by Will Smith…Duh!

As you probably know, M.I.A. came to town a couple of weeks ago. See our write-up of the show here. Local favorite, Hottub, was the opening act and I had the opportunity to style out my girls in the band. We got to the venue at 4 p.m. and rocked it until midnight…and then the after party. It was a long day but the most fun ever! Wanted to share with you some of the behind the scenes action and what the ladies wore. Get a detailed look at their looks at The Goods! and make sure to peep tons more picts after the jump!
