REEBOK QUESTION SLIP-ON

I woke up with this idea of what the infamous Reebok Question, worn by Allen Iverson, would look like with a slip-on application.  This is what I think it would look like!  Would you cop or not?

Q.Designs NO.2 Premiere

What up world!  So the hype on the Q.Designs NO.2 has been WILD to say the least!  So to make my customers happy I'm willing to release the crowdfunding campaign earlier for this particular style earlier than what was expected if at least 80 people pledge via my website: www.qdesignsfootwear.com before Christmas.  Click the SHOP tab and you'll see the pledge bracket...there is no money due upfront!

Initially, I wanted to launch the entire line around February but due to overhead costs and Chinese New Year pushing production back, that date wouldn't be until Summer 2014 and you wouldn't have the shoes in your hands until Fall 2014 sometime.  With the campaign for the NO.2 possibly launching earlier, you can expect to have this shoe in your hands in Summer 2014.

So this is the public's chance to prove how much they want this shoe!  It's up to you guys! Share this with family and friends that may be interested!  I truly appreciate all of the support and kind words regarding the brand.  I look forward to possibly giving you something to rock on your feet sooner than later!  

*Note that this NO.2 will release as the Base Model.  The shoe that you guys see in the rendering will be the Elite Model, which will come with performance outsole and insole...this will release later in the year for 2014.

Nike Sportswear SneakerBoot Collection

FRESHY.  SWAGGER.  SWAGGY?  Whatever you use to describe these "sneakerboots" that Nike Sportswear has dropped it better be associated with dope design.  This collection is lovely.  Using Nike's staple silhouettes, they have transformed them into kicks you can rock in the cold winters.  Absolutely genius.  Year round  swagger.  What do you think?

The Shoe Game Just Changed...

Introducing the Under Armour SpeedForm.  This is the shoe that's about to change the shoe business as far as manufacturing.  The SpeedForm is basically a bra for your feet as Under Armour's Senior Director of Footwear Dave Dombrow explains.  The upper is a seamlessly construction with a heel cup made of one material.  Think of it as a comfortable pair of socks built for running.

What makes this shoe so interesting is that the upper was made in a bra factory!  Yes, that's right, a bra factory.  Why?  Because that industry specializes in making products that fit the body comfortably.  Nice approach to solving performance issues with running shoes.  Needless to say I WILL be buying these in late June.  Will you?  Click the link below to read up on this!
