  • REEBOK LAUNCHES CLASSIC LEATHER “OKTOBERFEST” PACK

    I feel like we’re always talking about some luxury brand dropping these thousand dollar pair of sneaks. Or some musician collaborating with another well-known brand to create a pair that sells out in minutes. Worse yet. When released to a store, people have to get a raffle ticket to see if they can even purchase…

  • SNEAKER FREAK FRIDAY | ICONOFLY OBSESSES OVER SNEAKERS

    The French Institute Alliance Française (FIAF) presents the first US edition of cult magazine ICONOfly, diary of an accessory, created by French art director and curator Olivia Bransbourg.

    BucketFeet, the footwear brand connecting people through art, has collaborated with Lollapalooza, for a second year, on exclusive shoe design of the Chicago skyline. Entitled Chi-line, (like Chi-town meets skyline, get it? Teehee.) this launch similar to most of their collection offers the slip-on style fit for both men and women. Even the artwork plays…

  • REEBOK CLASSIC LAUNCH THE VENTILATOR OG

    Reebok Classic launched the Ventilator OG this past Saturday with Kendrick Lamar starring in the ad campaign. Originally released back in 1990, the Ventilator running shoe infused Hexalite technology to provide more comfort and shock absorption for a faster, lighter run. The lugged outsole was designed for on and off-road traction, while the archbridge was…

  • SNEAKER FREAK FRIDAY | NEW BALANCE X KATE SPADE SATURDAY

    There have been tons and tons and tons of sneaker collaborations these passed couple of years. Many times I’ve always believed they were nothing more than an opportunity to get a slice of the urban market pie. These sneaks were typically never comfortable, there price tags brought out the blood lust in many, and at…

  • SNEAKER FREAK FRIDAY| THE RIVIERA FROM AIRWALK

    Back in 1986, Airwalk introduced themselves to the emerging movement of board sports. Having been one of the originators, I remember my sister dragging me along to Gadzooks in the Houston Galleria to buy herself a pair. She wasn’t a boarder, but it was the style in the 90s, and whether you partook in the…

  • SNEAKER FREAK FRIDAY|ATHLETIC PROPULSION LABS

    When a shoe is banned by the NBA for “providing an undue competitive advantage,” you know it’s something to talk about. That’s Athletic Propulsion Labs, or APL, for you. Known for their NBA banned, patented Load ‘N Launch Technology, has launched a running shoe line housing three collections –  The Joyride, The TechLoom™ Pro and…

  • SNEAKER FREAK FRIDAY| KEDS X KATE SPADE NEW YORK

    It’s been quite rainy the last few weeks and there’s nothing like rain to destroy your summer kicks. You know those all white Keds that stay pristine and crisp until the last day of summer – resulting in being deep cleaned and put away until next year. But for those few days we’ve been fortunate…

  • SNEAKER FREAK FRIDAY| SKICKS

    March madness is behind us. School is out for summer. But soon enough we’ll be strategically planning our back to school wardrobe, which for you college bound pupils means purchasing every college item in the bookstore. You know, the hoodies and sweats branded with LSU down the front that will be your uniform for the…

  • SNEAKER FREAK FRIDAY| BUCKETFEET

    BucketFeet, the artist-designed footwear start-up, premiers at Nordstrom this month. Founded three years earlier by strangers backpacking in Argentina, BucketFeet’s mission was to connect others through art. Fast-forward three years and these conversational sneakers have joined the Nordstrom retail arena. Each launch, or installation, as it’s been dubbed to stay with the arts feel, will…

  • ADVENT CALENDAR GIVEAWAY DAY 6 | INKKAS 2014 COLLECTION

    It’s a “Sneaker Freak” and Advent Calendar mashup. We love sneakers here at StyleCartel. More than some should admit, but when you have Marant, Chanel and Celine popping out sneaker collections left and right, you’ve got no choice but to love it. The only issue is that they’re keeping things simple or M.I.A.-ing it up…
