Sneaker Con Washington D.C was the very first time this event had been held outside of NYC and boy was it a success. Not only did it attract over 2,300 sneaker heads during the seven hour event, making it the biggest turn out ever recorded, but the music and the energy felt here was one never acquired before. DJ Leo Rodri definitely did it up with the music. The pictures below should speak for themselves. There was also a large adidas Superstar constructed just for the event and it engaged fans to leave their mark on the gigantic shoe- I know I did 😉 (see pic on previous post) Check out the videos I posted on Twitter. 🙂
As I look at the Nike heels I wonder, ” are they finally catching on that a lot of woman don’t wanna wear sneakers ?” Sneakers can be stereotyped as looking like you don’t put that much effort into your look. But there are some girls that hook them up pretty nicely and even look very put together with their sneakers.
For all of those girls that love Nike but don’t wanna take off those sexy heels- here’s the pair for you.
The rest of you, what’s your opinion on these Nike heels?

Is this what fashion has come to? Last night, host of America’s (and Canada’s) Next Top Model, Jay Manuel debuted his much-hyped collection for Sears. With top dollars spent on splashy campaigns and a media circuit run that would make your head spin, Manuel’s new line ATTITUDE left a lasting first impression.
The show, which ran an hour late, opened with a mini-montage that documented Manuel’s deep involvement with the label, from concept to completion. From sketching to sewing, the clip almost had us fooled that Manuel created the pieces himself, but alas his title still read “Creative Director.”
As the lights dimmed and music blared, the first look hit the glossy black runway and the show’s “special guest” arrived, veteran model Yasmin Warsame . What followed Warsame’s power strut were a string of work wear looks that spoke to the masses. From mundane to matronly, Manuel’s high fashion taste didn’t seem to cross the border.
But where were those references to “worldly inspirations” that influenced the collection? Perhaps it was Manuel’s nod to fallen star John Galliano and the boudoir make-up from his Spring 2011 show in Paris. Although the look was flawless then, Manuel paired the finger waves and penciled brows with oddly belted purses and faux-fur apparel.
After 37 looks, and a model who geisha-ed down the runway, Manuel (dressed in a Tom Ford suit) took his bow to an awe struck crowd. Although some looks weren’t to my liking, others were very striking and perhaps a great new look for Sears.
I am excited to see what looks he has in the coming seasons. It’s been confirmed the silver-haired host will bring us many collections to come.
