Party feet


Named after that tiny island of the night, Ibiza, these little bombers are perfect for your all night dancing. My first car was a Ford Fiesta, I just wish id been kitted out in both and wearing a red bull t-shirt and pocketing a mini bottle of Vodka to complete the "party 4 life" theme.
They make me feel like summer.
Where did you get them: small shop in the centre of town- I forget the name

Pumpin

Rewind to Nov'09 and 20 years from the day the Pump was unleashed, 20 stores were given free reign to design their very own pair. The fully functioning pump inflates the air cushion and therefore increasing jumping ability- in 1991 Dee Brown boosted popularity of the shoe when he was seen 'pumping up' his Reebooks (All Star Slam Dunk 0:47) just before scoring some serious dunks and going on to win the competition.
Along with these 20 collaborations the Original pump was re-released in a black-white-grey cw. Info above is roughly how my conversation went with the owner. Pride in your shoes shows.





Same life


The chance of meeting someone with the same shoes (not that they're some Limited Edition or that I payed serious $ for them) completely overwhelmed me..... thoughts that went through my head = " I bet we'd get on really well" "we are obviously similar kind of people" "hey jealous she has smaller feet than me" "we are in a queue for the same night WO ho, similar tastes in shoes and music!!! unbelievable".....Luckily, none of this was expressed out loud.
Where did you get them? Nike store (I nearly exploded at this answer. nooooooo way so did I!)
What do you do? currently studying
You can tell by her answers she totally felt the same way.

2gether 4ever

2 Camareras, 1 couple, 2 pairs of Nikes, 1 love.

If I had a bar id have it here, kinda close to the beach so that I could go swim when I wasn't working, id have a bunch of sneaker pictures lining the walls, worldwide snaps of all styles and sizes, drinks would be long and colourful, quality and enjoyable, food would be free tapas, music would be varied and what I felt like....... but most importantly the waiters would be decked out in the flyest kicks.

Late night love




I saw these at the end of a long night and the owner, complete with super style, nice camera and great chat was a delight to bump into....
He and his girlfriend were from Girona and no sooner had we opened our mouths and spoken the sweet tones of English than an invite to their home if we were ever in town came our way.
Something I definitely have to do and if these shoes are anything to go by then I better get to Girona quick.
All for spreading the love- check out Estels flickr loopindahoop
What do you do: Cook... but you should definitely get this camera, you know.
Where did you get them: Limited Editions.....

What I did miss was the soles

Black Van Man


This is subtelty at its best. This devious pair of Vans are made from bullet proof ballistic nylon, which means their durability would impress even the most hardcore skaters!! part of the second syndicate of Vans (Syndicate 002). Not usually a big Van fan but these are super smooth and through these cold winter days whilst rebounding any stray bullets im sure these would happily keep your feet dry and cosy- kinda James Bond- y
Where did you get them: well their boxfresh, Ive had them since they were released in 2006 but only just been back home to sort out my collection....
Sort out your collection?? yeah I had way to many and I gave away a lot as presents to family and friends...
Hi im size 39!

yes ladies


I used to spend hours and hours on my gameboy-the-size-of-my-head to help ease the pain of car journeys. Mario was probably a favorite and when id had my fill Tetris was the one. Little did I know that in '08 Puma would get on it and give all the gamers out there a little mental pair of brick themed sneakers. Sadly you cant see but the yellow print is falling bricks!! 90's love.

What do you do?
I organize Electronic nights around the city
Im a hairdresser
Where did you get them?
The Limited Editions outlet place in the centre of town
London, Hackney - points to a little "I heart Hackney" badge on her bag.
ahh home. me too
