Whether or not that title is grammatically correct is irrelevant because you know exactly what I mean. After seeing the Adidas Originals House Party video, with cameos by, among others, David Beckham, Russell Simmons, Missy Elliot and DMC, I checked out the Adidas Originals website to take a look at the new kicks. I was pleasantly surprised to find a full ten new pages of shoes, the best of which (in my opinion) I have posted, after the jump HERE
I think that’s a very fitting title for this post, seeing as it’s true. My style has been compared to that of a hipster too many times, but I just don’t see why. I would say I dress much more like Mikey Rocks from the Cool Kids, with a designer’s eye for jeans and old school sneaks.
Right now, for example, I’m wearing my black and white Campustown classic mid-tops Adidas, a brand new pair of slim-straight leg Levi 504s, and a long Tee shirt with bright colors. Note that I’m not smoking parliaments, sipping on PBR, or listening to MGMT (for now, anyway.)
I’m a huge Adidas freak though. My idea of a vintage tee has always been the classic B/W Trefoil design that kid wears in Dazed and Confused. Anyways I was crusin’ the Adidas Originals website the other day, and I found these. Top of my wish list. The first is the classic Trefoil, magenta on a bright blue background, and it’s hard to see, but stroked in neon green. The second is a hoodie that’s so loud, it would take over whatever I was wearing. If you paired it with anything other than plain white kicks, you’re gonna look like a fool.

Since the early 90s, using flashy metallic colors has been considered tacky, a “no-no” if you will, but in recent months, with the “hip-hopster” (yes, I just made that up) revival, is silver finally “in” again? I wouldn’t go that far, but the new season brings us a few different shiny-colored kicks that will make your mouth water. Not on the shoes, please.
The first is the new Supra Vaider Silver that’s causing a buzz around the blogosphere. Next are the Women’s Creative Recreation Dicicco High tops. Of course, we gotta have the Adidas silver Forum 25th anniversary mids. And last, but not least (in price, that is) are the kicks from Dior Homme designer Kris Van Assche’s silver collection. I didn’t look up the price, but since it’s Dior, it’s probably more than I have. Peep the kicks after the jump HERE
