Shoes Of The Day

Meet the new Lebron VII.  LeBron released his new shoes last week in Akron, Ohio.  Here is what LeBron had to say about his shoes “The new LeBron VII takes my signature line to a new level of innovation,” said LeBron James. “As the demands of my game evolve and increase, Nike consistently designs and develops shoes helping drive my on-court success.” Does he need more success on the court?  Talk amongst yourselves.

Now to follow suite from the previous shoes review, we would like to highlight the designer.  These kicks were designed by Nike designer Jason Petrie.  Not only does Jason draw shoes for Nike, but he also collects them.  Nice work Jason.

Buy them if: You have $160.

Forget about them if: You don’t.

Happy Shoes of the day shopping!

As of August 11, 2009,  you now have 8 new stylish reasons to shop at Payless.  We were selected as wear-testers for the fresh, new Jeff Staple designed “STPL AIRWALKS.”  These kicks come in five very cool styles for men; including the 50/50, the Gambit, the Heaven slip-on and the Terrain.   The ladies get three styles to choose from.  These limited-edition shoes are just in time for back-to-school shopping and won’t break the bank with prices ranging from $30 to $50 a pair!

The samples we received were the Heaven slip-on to wear and review.  The AIRWALK Heaven is a comfortable lightweight, no-lace, slip-on shoe.  We liked the unique and fresh illustrated design and comfy insole.   We didn’t like the slick feel of the non-marking sole.

What? Heaven Twin Gore – MENS STPL X AIRWALK

Why? Because you can get these off and on in a hurry.  Sunny Southern California was the primary inspiration for this canvas upper.  The print on the shoes was created by designer jeffstaple featuring illustrated print of wind, water and waves.  The Heavens are made of fabric, rubber and other man-made materials.

Where? STPLxAirwalk limited-edition fall collection is exclusively available now at select Payless ShoeSource stores and Payless.com.

You need them if: You want a fresh pair of designer kicks that don’t look cheap!

You don’t need them if: You’re “off the wall” about your Vans.

Our take on these shoesoftheday:  Comfortable slip-on shoe and perfect if you’re headed back-to-school, or to California on a budget!
