Step into the Darkside for Your Summer Sneakers
The Darkside Initiative just received a gang of new sneakers for your warm weather rendezvous, some of which should spark memories of summers long gone. For all you true sneaker heads, the Air Max ’90 is usually a popular pick, and this time it receives an updated ’09 look with shiny patent. If you’re up for a punch of color, go for the purple/white pair, but for those who are not so bold, the silver/black/red will be the go-to pair for everyday life, from running errands to running the track. My personal fave, the Air Max ’95, has been re-released in a colorway popular to Frisco folks, orange and grey. Thankfully the shop thinks of the ladies, because although the ’95s are men’s sizes, they ordered down to a size 6, equivalent to a women’s 7.5 (sorry for the tiny feet!). If your old pair from high school has been around the block one too many times, it’s now time to upgrade!
Those that favor the new new have a few choices to pick from. The Blazer Mid “Bamboo” just breathes summertime with its woven look and green accents. And…these are strictly for the ladies so rock them out to make the fellas jealous! For something on the dark side, opt for the black/metallic pewter pair with subtle hints of snakeskin, or even the Air Rift in a similar colorway. With the ninja-inspired split-toe box and easy-access Velcro elastic straps, you’ll be able to swiftly handle your business and pleasure. Then, art and Dunk lovers alike can feel fly with the latest “skinny” silhouette that feature French textile designer Paule Marrot’s feathers pattern. Again, this is only for the females. The Darkside Initiative has you covered!
Cop these kicks at the shop at 1827 Powell Street in San Francisco. Don’t sleep or you’ll be left in the dark.
