Glow in the Dark Pack



Freshness posted pics from Prestigious Atlanta of samples of the glow in the dark pack. Normally I will snark on the shoes here, but these are really fun, exciting, and well executed. if you look in the glow picture you can see how two gradients of glow material was used so in the dark you can see the cut of the leather. I am assuming it's leather with some sort of glow material, but it might be a synthetic material for all I know. Glow in the New Sincerity.

AF1 Frankenstein


you know generally I hate patent leather, but these shoes are really fun. I think they make it as new sincerity. These Frankenstein Air Force 1s are coming out in October.
Alife will be releasing this really cool fifty59 hat that perfectly matches the shoes. Again I think this hat is really fun. Both could be enjoyed unironicly together or apart.

Triumvir3 Custom Dunks

I saw these custom Dunks and was thinking, yes they are ugly, but not ugly enough or interesting enough to pass on. it has purple camouflage that will only hide you in a forest designed by Sid and Marty Kroft. Then I saw...



THIS
MATCHING ROBOT!
Holy-moly shit folks. Dear people who make ugly custom sneakers, Triumvir3 has raised the bar. now you need to make a matching gundam robot model. What really amazes me is that the pattern which looks ridiculous on a pair of basketball shoes, but on a robot it completely makes sense. I guess the reason is that if a 40 story fighting robot with 100 foot long riffle showed up it gets it's way. Who are you to question a giant robot's preference for paisley contracting with argyle?

RS100 nitelite

Puma's really pushing the RS100s. these are part of a 3M pack. The Puma 'stripe' and toe will be made out of 3M scotch brite. The Nike's that were made with this stuff look bad ass, particularly at night. People should seriously consider getting a pair. I recommend the blue ones that won't make you look like a homosexual space man.I'm leaving for vacation on Saturday morning. This may be the last post I make for a week and a half. However when I come back there will be over a weeks worth of ugly sneaker news to report on. I am pretty psyched. I would love to get feedback from anyone about what sort of posts they like, what they could care less about.

Tennis Anyone?


On Alife's website they have new pics of the hotly anticipated tennis ball pumps. The title of website says "gone till November." people are taking this as a hint that the shoes might be coming out some time in November. These may be ugly, but IMHO they are good ugly. My only concern with these sneakers is that due to such a high surface area I would assume that they get dirty easily and are hard to clean. These shoes will break necks.
