Adidias is set to drop a new line of Star Wars kicks later this year and it’s safe to say they look fresh as fuck. Those orange Rebel Alliance hi tops are so sick!
Adidas did a previous Star Wars line and they ran from about $80 – $90 in price. Hopefully these are the same or less.
One of the best parts about running a blog that covers everything from videogames, gadgets, and toys to art and fashion is never quite knowing what to expect in my in-box each day.
One of the coolest reader-submitted emails to come at me in some time comes from Jason Little, a photographer and regular Albotas.com reader (not to be confused with this photographer by the name of Jason Little, who’s probably never even heard of Albotas).
Jason, along with his good friend and fellow photographer Anthony aka Tony Rysk, recently did a shoot combining two of my favorite things in the world: shoes and women.
Damn that’s a lot of shoes.
I shot Jason an email asking where all those freaking shoes came from. This is his reply:
Hahaha those shoes are actually my friend Anthony’s. We both did the shoot together, he does photography too an we always work on ideas an ish together. He has around 150 pairs of shoes, which equals 300 shoes, after the shoot was over the horrible task of actually pairing them back up an putting them in the boxes occurred hahaha. Anthony can be seen in the sneaker god picture [above]. The girl in the pictures is Michelle Mystique Lukmani, she’s a dancer/model from Miami, she was down here kicking it and loves my work so me an Anthony decided why not combine her with his ginormous shoe collection, an that’s how the magic happened.
You can check out more Jason Little photography on his DeviantArt or DAPortfolio page. You can also check out Tony Rysk’s Deviant Art page right here.
Be sure to check out the gallery below for pics from the sneaker shoot as well as a sample of Jason’s other works.
If you’re an aspiring artist, game designer, toy customizer, or wannabe so-and-so of any kind, feel free to hit me up at brownkidd@albotas.com and if you don’t suck, I’ll feature you on the site!
Legendary French female street artist Fafi has teamed up with Adidas to create a limited edition collection of ladies sneakers. Fafi is best known for her canvas work and handpainted graffiti featuring sexy girls in cute outfits. It’s nice to see that she’s been breaking out into the fashion world a little more lately.
First up is the Stan Smith shoe featuring some Fafi doodles. This one goes for $105.
Next up is The Sneeker featuring Fafi’s featuring the only male character in the Fafi universe, Hmilo. I’m not quite sure what he is. He’s just sort of a seal/blob thing. These kicks go for $105.
These are the Honey Lows. White, simple, and clean. This pair features an embossed pattern of Fafi’s signature and they run for $95.
These Honey Mids are my personal favorites. Ladies, if you rock these, you automatically get +100 sexy points. It’s just a sketchy little comic across the whole shoe, and it’s way cute. This pair goes for $95.
Okay, I know I sad that last pair was my favorite, but the more I look at these Superskates, the more I start to change my mind. They just have this whole attitude about them. +10,000 sexy points. $105.
If any ladies out there are interested, you can pick up these highly limited shoes from the Bombing Science store.
I’d fuck a girl wearing these no matter how fat she was. I’d just have to ask my girlfriend if it was okay first, but I’m sure she’d understand. I mean, they are some pretty fresh kicks, so I think that counts for a free pass.
As a public service to all fat, ugly chicks who have trouble getting dudes to go near their grody-ass crotches, pick up a pair of these limited edition Reeboks from Schuh and thank me later. You can also feel free to send me any n00dz of you wearing nothing but the kicks.
D00dz, would you ram a chick if she had these shoes on? What if she kinda’ looked not-so-good? Ladies, would you let your dude bang another ho if she had these shoes on? What if you could get a pair for yourself afterward? I know how bitches be lovin’ shoes. Any fugly chicks out there use these kicks to get laid? Leave a detailed account of your success in the comments.
Tim Burton’s upcoming CG-animated 3D movie 9 is set in a post-apocalyptic world about these burlap sack robot things called Stitchpunks. The look a lot like Sackboy, only a bit creepier.
To celebrate the movie, Pony has made a limited 99 pairs of burlap sneakers which will be given away through a sweepstakes at Hot Topic. The shoes will come out the same day as the movie, 9/9/09.
Check out the mis-matched lace hole thingies. I really can’t tell if I like these or not…
Daniel Reese aka Brass Monki is a 21-year-old shoe customizer who kicks major amounts of ass at what he does. Hit the jump for a sample of some of his customs and concepts ranging from Mario, Sonic, Tetris, and Final Fantasy to Freddy Mercury, Sin City, and Kill Bill. There’s even a freaking Twitter shoe!
The Phoenix Wright games for the Nintendo DS are among my favorite games of all time. I’d rather display these custom Phoenix Wright Vans slip-ons on a shelf than wear them, but that’s just me.
Puma’s new 917 Lo Mega! shoe was inspired by everyone’s favorite world-saving robot from the year 20xx. I’d imagine that wearing these shoes would make your life just as difficult as the Mega Man games, what with all the harassment you’d get. These fall under the “nice to look at, but I wouldn’t wear them” category.
