Dope Ambition

European women, especially Parisian women, have the reputation of being effortlessly chic and forever fashionable.

And rightly so.

Ohhh. Scarrrry. I was perusing the nets and came upon these bad boys. I dig them, although maybe not for myself.Plus I have a hard time with reptile inspired sneaks; they remind me a little too much of pimp shoes.

 Sneakers News gives us the details: “The Nike Blazer Mid Premium pictured above uses a green lizard skin pattern on the upper, evoking the other half of Nike’s classic ‘Godzilla vs. Barkley’ ad campaign.  We saw these before as part of the Fall 2009 preview, alongside an edition with clawmarks on the side panels, but we’re still unsure if that timeframe is still accurate.  Stick with Sneaker News for updates.  Photos: Snoop80/eBay.”

Props.

Oh my lawwwwd. These photos were taken in arid conditions but are leaving me feeling steamy. This yummy photography hails from Exit magazine. So many aspects of this shoot are ridiculously delicious: the multi-zip thigh-high black boots, the bondage-style white bathingsuit, the landscape, the sex-goddess of a model, (Rosie Huntington-Whitely), and every shoe in every shot. Period. Breathtaking photography makes me wish I was a photographer. Until then, drool with me.

Yaaaay! I loves it when Nike does a little somethin’ somethin’ for the ladies, because 9/10, the effort is dope and effortless. Here is an example of a shoe I’d love to rock. The Air Max 1 is namely one of my favorite shoes by Nike next to the Dunk and the Blazer. This shoe comes in the sexy combination colors of red and black, but the red is all in the detail instead of being overwhelming. Call me stupid, but sometime I think all-black female sneakers can look ugly and trashy, but these the exact opposite. These ladies sneaks are clean and classy. Perfection.

Okay, Okay. I like girls with a  little quite a but more curves, but Miranda Kerr is flawless and beautiful nonetheless. Here she looks stunning in a white gown at the ESPY’s. Yes, she is a little skinny, but she does model for Victoria’s Secret, so cut her some slack.

Anything new or unheard from Lupe is more than welcome on my site. I actually listened to it and of course, this track is dope.

So I have seen everyone from Jay-Z to Brad Pitt rocking Kanye’s collabo sneaks with Louis Vuitton. More expected, though, is CuDi’s support of the shoe, which he was seen rocking at his concert with Asher Roth at the Nokia Theatre in New York. Myself and many others included agree that the collaboration was a success and that the sneaks are definitely dope and wearable; the only problem for me is price. They start around 700 dollars a pop, and those are the more inexpensive joints. 

DOPE, no?
