Dropping in a few weeks is what I think is Puma's best release of 2012. I love denim on my kicks and Puma hit it out of the ball park with this one using premium denim, copper foil eyelets and contrast stitching. 

Presenting the Puma States Denim Pack. Available in 3 colorways starting November 12 exclusively at HideOut, Greenbelt 5 for 4,550 pesos each.

That's how many Thess (Puma) received last week for her birthday bash at Fiamma. Thanks for inviting me, dear. It was great to be surrounded by your friends and family! I had so much fun (and we didn't even get drunk). Puma love, yo. That's what's up.

It was Thursday afternoon (Manila time) when I found out that Complex Magazine was gonna release a list of "The 25 Most Influential #NT Members." I said that should be easy and wrote down my own list of 25. Before I knew it, I already had close to 50 names on my list. I could have kept going but I didn't because there was no way I could have come up with a "correct list" knowing how Niketalk has tens of thousands of members since its inception in December 1999.

ONE SOLE

Twice a year sneaker aficionados set their egos aside and get together to showcase their wares (and wears) at the only sneaker collector convention in the country founded by Antonio Aguirre, Jr. What started out as a small group has grown into a bona fide avenue for almost everyone in the scene to exhibit and share what they have while having fun. (which to me is the most important thing)

I know I raise a lot of eyebrows whenever I feature Sole Slam on my site but you know what? The joke is on all the haters who thought they could divide the sneaker community by using this event for their own benefit and making it seem like they are better than the next collector. I deal with one person and one person only and so far we both agree that there's only one direction that we should all take.

FORWARD!

adidas Philippines drops the latest D Rose 3 in a sick, sick colorway inspired by the black and neon uniform of the Chicago Fire Department. Definitely another interesting pair to add to your collection.

adidas D Rose 3 (electricity/metalsilver) - 8,995 pesos.
Photobucket

"The upper is made of rubberized, heavy duty synthetic materials to resemble the strong, protective feel and function of a firefighter’s turnout coat. The three stripes on the back and outsole of the shoe are grey to represent the color of knee and elbow pads on turnout coats and coveralls. The stripes on the back are also reflective material similar to turnout gear, while the black SPRINTFRAME has a smooth, clean finish to signify rubber fire boots.

The inside of the left tongue features the universal cross symbol of firefighters with the D Rose logo in the middle, and the right shoe features a lasered signature of Derrick Rose."

Limited pairs are now available at adidas stores (Rockwell, SM Mall of Asia, SM Megamall, Greenbelt 3, Trinoma, Robinsons Pampanga), Titan and Hoopsville.

I just laugh at people who say "oh he's just a blogger" not knowing that I have been around in the sneaker community for a good part of my adult life. I was doing stuff in the industry years before I started this site in 2008, years before you first Googled a pair of sneakers. I laugh then I cringe. Not because I take offense in being called a blogger but because that's just how I react when people talk out of their arses. They think this blog made me who I am today. Like, really? Drop the labels, stop patronizing me and let's just all enjoy the one thing we share in common. Shoes!

Speaking of shoes I received a pair of samples from a good buddy of mine from Nike HQ. Not sure how new or old these are but I hope he doesn't get in trouble for me posting this.

When local connects dry up I can always count on others to step up. (even without me asking)
