It has to be scene to be believed

When i mention Bleecker Street you either think one of two things, and think carefully because the wrong answer can put you in dangerous territory of being considered 'uncool' in the eyes of people you don't know or care about.

Moving along, you either think of cheap beers and breakfast deli rolls in Greenwich Village (NYC, for those still not following), or the new(ish) online store that lets us on the opposite side of this liveable beach ball sample the fahion delights of previously mentioned area.

Recently I stumbled upon, and immediately purchased from Bleeckerst.com, the radical store which is which brings some of the choicest fashion from the streets of NY into Australia for those wishing to say "Man, I dunno where you'll be able to get these kicks, they're pretty exclusive" (which FYI, makes you a dooshbag).



My favourite amongst the bunch is Stamp'd LA who started as kicks customisers and have just opened their first boutique in LA which sports some fly art on the shop walls.

So for those of you looking for something a little different, check out the online shop and recieve some trans-pacific retail loving.

PS. I have thrown up a pic of the new Stamp'd LA kicks I'll be sporting, so if you want to be the only one on the block treadin in them we can organise some kind of alternate weekend rotation, or maybe I'll take mon-wed-fri and you take tues-thurs... we'll discuss later

Pump it UP!

For those who like to walk in style (read: poor people catch buses, rich people wear kicks and walk), last week saw the release of the collab Reeok pumps worldwide to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the radical innovation. Adding to the list of things younger and cooler than myself.

Select stores worldwide recieved ther own collab in limited release; here in Aus through Espionage. Our local flavour is this classic black and white with carbon fibre detailing (fairly legit but not quite 'too legit to quit'). They look like the last thing you might see before realising that you can't hoverboard over water without power, and you'd be right, you can't. Check http://www.sneakers4life.com/

On the other hand, so legit are the french collabs released through boutique Colette in Paris that I stare longingly across the water in a direction that I believe France to be while listening to language tapes in a desperate attempt to find a cool house for my feet (Me donner les pompes et personne n'obtient la blessure... cultured right?!). Aight, that's some radical for your feet, because they deserve some too
