Never too young...

Just wanted to introduce folks to a lil female sneaker fiend, Bella Ruiz from Staten Island. She's five and digging her Bordeaux Spiz'ikes! Looks like she already knows sneakers can brighten your day...

Thanks to Jesus Ruiz for sending this in.

Doernbecher 4 Campout Niketown Chicago = CHAOS!

Friday night on Michigan Ave in front of Niketown there was utter CHAOS!!

Lori, Brenda and I went back down to Niketown to show some love to the sneaker heads in line

and to our surprise there was craziness!! Police, Lists made by people in line, screaming and yelling and chaos all around!

Brenda, Lori and I opted to not campout for the DB's but thanks to @sole_closet we ended up with some great shots and a great quick video of the night!

Katy, Lori, Brenda Bee and I :)

Here is a great pic of the Chicago Police kicking everyone out!

But at the end of the night and with the rising of the sun everyone who waited patiently got the shoes they wanted!! Good Ol Chicago Politics for ya....You look like a sneakerhead there for you must be up to no good... Crook County at its finest. haha

Spike Lee signs Spi'Zikes at Footaction!

This was a hell of a weekend for sneaker releases!! This particular one for the highly anticipated NY Knicks colorways of orange and blue was extra special to lucky New Yorkers who shop at Footaction on 34th St. because Spike Lee stopped by to talk about the release, upcoming projects, working with Tinker hatfield & Michael Jordan to create the Spi'Zike, and signing every pair purchased along with raffling off 2 pair! Take a look at MORE PICS and check out the video below!

SPARC your sneakers customizing event - Roxtoberfest RECAP!!

I AM BACK!!! It's been a while, yes, however I have been busy with orders and events like the one i am blogging about today. This past weekend myself and Pinkeye were invited up to Boston to participate in Mass Art's customizing event for Roxtoberfest at DS4SI (Design Studio 4 Social Intervention) along with other great Boston artists and people from Boston stopping in to see the studio! We were given our choice of either a pair of crispy white canvas Chucks, or the newest vinyl toy, STANCE, a blank sneaker canvas! Most of us chose the Chucks, and the coordinator of the event asked that the pair I customized be done for her granddaughter, which was such an honor!

Pinkeye's rendition of Charlie Brown's Great Pumpkin episode just in time for Halloween, and my       design for Mass Art's Euka Holmes' granddaughter, Song.

Pinkeye and myself enjoying a day of painting in the community!

Boston artists, Logan, Aziza, and Jesse along with 2 other artists enjoying sneaker artistry together!

FSF's own Lori even participated, designing a pair for a friend's daughter!

Reebok graphic designer Shaona came with a pair of exclusive EA7's(see MORE PICS) on ready to have fun and paint!

To keep our motivation going, Public Kitchens provided us with some very tasty vegan food including their infamous jalapeno cornbread!

There weren't as many guests as expected, but it was great to just paint with friends! Check out MORE PICS!!!

Get back but don't scuff my kicks!

Was surfing the tube of you and came across the gem. I'm digging it! Seen a few pairs that I need to hunt.

What about Maya Moore's sneaker?

With Maya Moore being the first female basketball player signed to Jordan Brand, this could be a big deal in women's Jordans! Like Jeter, Wade, Melo, and other athletes signed to Jordan Brand, there has to be a signature shoe that encompasses Maya's personality, style, and performance on the court. I've spoken with a few of the ladies here at FSF, and we agree that it would be appropriate if FSF combined our talents together to create a Jordan sneaker with both Maya and FSF'ers around the world in mind!

That being said, tomorrow is media day for the Minnesota Lynx and there will be an online interactive chat session with Maya and the other players from the Lynx! THIS IS OUR CHANCE TO BE HEARD FSF!! Let's make it a combined effort to let Jordan Brand know that WE WANT IN on the signature sneaker designed for Maya! Visit these sites LYNX BASKETBALL LYNX TWITTER and LYNX FACEBOOK tomorrow from 10:30am - 1pm and ask WILL FEMALE SNEAKER FIEND BE DESIGNING HER SIGNATURE SNEAKER? along with any other questions you may want to ask! THIS IS OUR CHANCE LADIES!!! Let's show our support and push the movement forward!!!
