Austin Sneaker Show

Yes! Finally! A sneaker show is coming to Austin on Saturday, August 7th, 2010. You can probably bet that there will be a bunch of Nike Dunks and possibly Supras. Yeah, I know a lot of people (especially skaters) think they've been played out or taken over by the "mainstream", but as long as people still wear fake, over sized glasses, there will be a market for Dunks and Supras. But those won't be all the shoes they'll have. I'm also willing to bet that there will be a ton of Jordans. All you Jordan collectors, start saving up because you just might find those out of production, quickstrike, retro Jordans you've had wet dreams over at this sneaker show.

When: August 7th, 2010

Where: 117 W 4th St., Austin, TX

Shout out to Tekgnar Skate Shop for letting me know about this through my inbox.

Tasseled Loafers?

Yes. It's summer and low tops with no-show socks, or no socks at all, is the current standard. But what kind of shoes can I wear with no socks you ask? Aside from TOM'S, there are always loafers. Not just any loafers, the tasseled kind. Yeah, the same ones you've seen on hundreds of older gentlemen and prep school kids.

For some of you, this is completely unacceptable. I understand. It's a pretty hard look to pull off. It's too nerdy. But can it be done? Of course. Will your friends make fun of you for it? Probably. Are they comfortable on your feet? Hell yes! That's why I bought a pair of my own. $15 on clearance too? Come on! You would have too.

Hamilton 1883 Fall 2010 Collection

Houston's own Hamilton 1883 recently released some photos of their fall 2010 collection. Although the shirts looked good, only a few of them caught my eye. I probably wouldn't buy any of their stuff though, seeing as most of their shirts cost well over $100. I might change my mind once I get rich (or die trying).

Price: $185 (Currently sold out)

On a side note, and for those of you wondering why the price is so high, I'm guessing the price reflects the quality and the fact that they shirts are limited production AND made in the U.S.A.
