Nike: Back for the Future

Remember how space-age the idea of having self-lacing Nike sneaks seemed in BTTF? Well we are now well and truly in the future and apparently they're not that space-aged. Nike have produced a pair which were relatively simple to make and the limited stock will go up for auction with all proceeds go to Michael J. Fox Parkinson Disease Foundation. Awesome.

Mark Ronson for Gucci sneakers.

Gucci is launching a "pop-up" sneaker store that will travel the world selling a select range of sneakers, including a unisex city-specific pair of sneakers designed by DJ Mark Ronson. The store is said to be coming to the likes of LA, New York, London, Paris, Berlin, and Tokyo, staying at each location for only a few weeks.Despite his fashion designer sister Charlotte Ronson, some view the partnership between Gucci and the DJ an odd choice, but Ronson claims:

"I spent many, many years as an avid sneaker collector, so I wanted to make sure these Gucci shoes were truly special from an aesthetic and collectable point of view."

Nylon Nikeheads

Today I had the urge to wear my Nike Blazers to work and got a few compliments. Then tonight I came across this video on NYLON.com - a joint party between NYLON and Nike promoting their one-colour neon sneaks. Only available in Nike and Urban Outfitter stores in NYC and LA, unsurprisingly the shoes keep selling out.
