Etnies Mikey Taylor

The sneakers just became available online at CCS, so if you’re looking cop them with ease, click HERE.

adidas AdiTennis Hi

It’s the takeover, the break’s over. For fall, subtle kicks like this adidas adTennis Hi should be your go-to. Summer tennis is all about crispy white and green Rod Lavers, but these are a sure bet for when the clay-courts are out of play and playing inside is the move. Check for these in December at adidas Originals stores.

adidas Superstar Vulc Slip

Skating in slip-ons? Really? If you have the balls to try we applaud you, but we’re thinking these Superstar Vulc Slip’s make more sense for post-skate sessions. These models are the second make-ups to feature artwork from proven illu-artist Aaron Horkey. Check for them to hit adidas skate retailers around the country in the next few weeks.

Abington Hiker

You left coasters may be still enjoying mild weather, but here on the East, we’re only a couple days away from our first snow fall. Sure we’d love to wear sneakers all year round, but when that hard-white starts to drop, Abington is going to be our go-to. The premium, more limited offshoot of Timberland focuses on quality materials, coupled with a slick design. These Hikers are available now, at top-shops like Undefeated.

Generic Man Chuckman

Enough with the dusty kicks, it’s just not a good look. If you’re looking for a solid step-up this fall, come out of pocket a bit and invest in a pair of classy shoes like this Generic Man Chuckman. You can’t go wrong with an all-suede upper, and while the skittles kids are keeping it bright, kill them with some subtle heat. Available now at high-end stores.

Puma Blaze Of Glory Mexico

Y-3 Honja Hi & Ikuno

Yohji’s still getting money in the drought, and when he starts pumping packs, you fall into even more credit card debt. That’s what the f we call a chain reaction.

Now, this shiny Honja Hi/ Ikuno tag-team isn’t an official package, but good luck on deciding which sneaker to cop. Good thing spending the rent check is nothing new for us. Look for both of these to hit the Y-3 flagship store in New York during the first week of December.
