Thanks to nitrolicious.com for an extensive and exciting update on Nike Considered, recounting its Spring 2009 launch event in NYC on Tuesday.
“For Spring 2009 Nike Considered Design will be featured in all six of Nike’s key categories, including ACG, tennis, running, soccer, women’s training, men’s training, sportswear and basketball. Nike’s best selling running shoe, […]
I got an eblast today from the ONE Camapaign with the subject line of “Platforms Against Poverty,” and I hate (or love?) to admit that my first reaction was to wonder about how SHOES were going to help the global crisis.
My apologies for even admitting this, but it’s worth mentioning because the email invited us […]
What. A. Find. According to Sprig.com, Corso Como shoes are ethically and safely made by hand in Brazil of vegetable dyed leathers, with a portion of each sale going to women’s and children’s charities. These qualities alone are enough to make us love this brand, but on top of that, the line offers literally hundreds […]
Vintage pirate boots are so far beyond being “trendy” right now that I almost hesitated the headline. I meant to write about these babies months ago, and though it’s now hot and summery, they aren’t any less hot than they were in winter and spring. Nevermind the clammy calves; these are worth it. Just look […]
We made a great choice — the shoes are sweet. Despite my suspicion at how they’d look when worn, they look fab. I went with black after all for versatility, and the suede heel sections make a nice variety of textures. They’re surprisingly low on the instep, as you can see, but they’re nice and […]
Today is Earth Day, which, by the nature of my blog, I guess I should be celebrating. So let’s celebrate! It’s all-you-can-eat today…
1) Rashida Jones, better known as the season-long obstacle to Jim and Pam’s imminent romance, even better known as Karen from The Office, has launched an eco-friendly clothing line. Read a not-so-enthusiastic mini […]
Spring is around the corner and my old flats are falling apart. (They’ve lasted a good three or four years… it was due!) I’d rather own a small and carefully-chosen selection of shoes than lots of pairs I don’t wear much, so I’m thinking way too much about this decision — and add to […]
Several years ago, we saw a new side of Nike in the earthy-looking Nike Considered line.
Now, Considered isn’t a line of shoes — it’s a paradigm. At the AIGA Compostmodern conference in San Francisco last month, Nike product designer Jane Savage gave a surprisingly transparent presentation on Nike’s sojourn to become a poster child of […]
Before full-on winter strikes — which will be next week, says my weather man! — a sweet autumn-in-the-park pic from shoe-and-apparel makers Keep Co. Savor the moment!Why I love Keep: “We do Keep for all the women who have their game tight, who work hard to make things happen, who spread positivity and energy around […]
For every pair of TOMS shoes you buy, Tom plants a tree. Just kidding - I couldn’t resist. Actually, for each pair you buy, founder-cutie Black Mycoskie personally delivers a pair of shoes to a third-world child in need. About his 1-1/2-year-old business, my new hero said this month, “It felt like yesterday that I […]
