WORK, WORK, WORK, WORK, WORK, WORK

PUMA women's creative director and brand ambassador Rihanna and global sports brand PUMA kick  off their first creations with the release of the PUMA BY RIHANNA collection with Rihannas FENTY label. Under her creative direction, the first collection introduces the PUMA Creeper, which mixes the iconic PUMA Suede with some punk and a little bit of rebel all in one.

The PUMA Creeper was inspired by the revolutionary punk era from King's Road in London to the LES underground club scene in the late 80's. The clubs have closed down since then but the culture will never be gone, influencing the city's fashion and music scene for years to come.


The classic PUMA Suede was transformed with a platform or also known as a "creeper" sole for a fresh new take. Rihanna also took advice on style from a Los Angeles based menswear designer Mr. Completely to help complete the  PUMA Creeper design. 

The first black/white pair of the pre-release sold out super quick but do not worry because the first three colors of the PUMA Creepers will be available on PUMA.com and other shops who sell PUMA products worldwide from September 25 all the way through the end of 2016 with multiple new colors and materials. 

The Start Of Mr. West

In 2013, during an interview radio station Hot 97, Kanye West let the world know that he'd signed with adidas. The announcement, which came after a period of West publicly bashing his old sneaker sponsor Nike, shook the shoe world, and the product the partnership eventually produced helped adidas ascend to a new level of cool.

But, the first Kanye West adidas sneaker actually happened back in 2005. That sneaker, never known to the public until this year, is seen in full detail for the first time here.

West was in talks about signing with adidas for a collaborative line in 2005. At the time, he was a relatively new name, having just released his debut album, The College Dropout, in 2004. He hadn’t yet really established himself in the fashion world, but that didn’t mean West lacked ambition.

During studio sessions for the recording of his second album, Late Registration, West requested a meeting with higher-ups at adidas to discuss the possibility of working together. They agreed, flying from adidas’ headquarters in Germany out to Los Angeles. But, West’s vision at the time was too big for what the brand was willing to sign on for—he wanted stores, his own line, and his own design team. West’s deal with adidas inked in 2013 would allow him of all of these things.

Part of West’s pitch to the brand was to have them help get his clothing line, Pastelle, off the ground. Ironically, Pastelle appears to be finally happening in 2016, although there’s no evidence of adidas’ involvement.

FRESH

         So today I walked into class with my head down and I see the FRESHEST sneakers I've seen in my life on John Pierces feet. These sneakers were  royal blue with the typical polo logo that is a very eccentric orange, brown leather laces and a white rubber sole. I just had to ask him about his thoughts on these sneakers. " Although these shoes are very comfortable and stylish they are really not that comfortable. I do not think I would recommend these sneakers to anyone else unless they are up for discomfort while looking stylish." - John Pierce
         Shocked by Johns answer to the comfort of these shoes I had to take it to the internet and see some other reviews for myself. One guy on amazon said "The very first time I wore them, my left foot started feeling uncomfortable and began to hurt. Finally it was almost unbearable. My right shoe felt great and there were no problems at all. I could not understand what was going on. I took my shoe off and looked it over good and tried again. Immediate pain again. It didn't rub a blister but it hurt so bad that I just gave up. My feet are more important than new shoes. It didn't rub a blister or make a place on my foot but it hurt terribly. I guess my feet have decided to get different in their old age and I will have to choose much more carefully. I packed the shoes up and gave them to a charity that needs shoes. I do hope that the person who gets my shoes has better luck than I did." Multiple other people also complained about the discomfort of these shoes so I do not think anyone should get these shoes. Although they are very uncomfortable, they are very cute and look good with almost any outfit!

TAKE A BREAK

As your toes start to moisten in those tightly tied sneakers all day, your feet start to feel as if they need to breathe and break out of those sneakers. Sometimes you just need to take a break! But never take a break on being SUPER STYLISH. With these hot bedazzled platform flip flops you will never look back on any other shoe for those days that your feet just need a break from sneakers. With these you will never be out of style and neither will you ever be the least bit uncomfortable while rocking the cool bedazzled platform flip flop. Your feet will still have the arch support necessary for a comfortable day on your feet. Arch support is probably one of the most necessary things on an off day so that you keep your feet in shape and prevent from cramping when you get back to wearing your sneakers the next day. Your feet will never forgive you if you DONT wear these on your break day because these are the only shoes that will keep you looking fresh, comfortable, and fit throughout your day. They are perfect for any person, boys, girls, men women, and even babies!

It's LIT

These fresh new kicks are not only super comfortable and fresh but guess what?! THEY LIGHT UP!

So now wherever you go wearing these shoes there's no excuse for walking in gum because you can see everything in the dark, they're like a flashlight for your feet. They change colors, from red, blue, green, yellow, white, purple, pink and even orange. The lights on these shoes can flash to liven up any occasion by 100%, have the colors change throughout the night, or even just keep the color stagnant to show off your favorite color. If you are into crazy colors, comfort, and looking super stylish these are definitely the shoe for you. 

These are definitely the flyest kicks of the century!

Flip Or Flop?

Are you supposed to run in these or are you supposed to strut your stuff? You don't even need to go to the gym while wearing these because they are so clunky and heavy that every step is a workout in of its own! The whole point of this type of shoe is the comfort and style of a sneaker but more fashionable for everyday and to help out the shorties with a couple of extra inches.

PROS:

More comfortable than stilettos 

Easier to walk in than stilettos

Makes your feet less achey after a long day

Very unique style

The heel isn't very obvious so it does not bring attention to height differences

CONS:

Very heavy to walk in 

Does not have a good arch support like a normal sneaker would have

Not the most appealing to the eye

I would recommend these sneaker wedge heels to anyone who likes to take a risk with their wardrobe  and would like to try something new. Also if you would like to be a couple of extra inches taller but still want to be as comfortable as possible than these are most definitely the shoe for you!

These sneaker heels have so much potential but I don not think I will be following on this trend any time soon. Let me know what all of you wild fashionistas thing of this crazy new trend.

Nike Free 5.0 2015

Over the past several years the Nike Free 5.0 has consistently been one of the best selling athletic shoes in the United States. Step foot into any school or gym and you are definitely going to see many people sporting the flexible , comfortable , and colorful Nike Free 5.0s. They have to be the most colorful, and the most comfortable shoe (they feel like you are walking on clouds!!!) which makes them one of the best selling sneakers all around.

The Nike Free 5.0 2015 is lightweight, flexible, and insanely comfortable. If your sole reason for wanting to get these kicks is for casual use, it is highly recommended because you will be looking fly while feeling like you are flying.  They are just THAT GREAT. For running, they aren’t fast and they aren’t super cushioned so not the best choice for an all-around trainer, but for short to moderate length runs where you want a very flexible, minimally controlling ride with some cushion they are a solid option.

Over all these sneakers are highly recommended for a daily use and or light work outs!
