Hi Y’all,

Whew, back on my BS. Yesterday passed by in a less productive way. Lying in the bed like John Lennon, well I wasn’t really protesting against anything but feeling unwell, sick that is. Well it’s all good now, and feeling like everyday is my birthday.

OK, well I have been pondering about the recent emergence of top-siders. I mean few years back I remember folks grinning when some young gun was wearing a pair of these ever so popular sailing shoes or deck shoes might I say, but now different sources are advocating for these kicks.

I mean it’s great that the shoes have somewhat fashionable status at the moment but I just can’t get over the whole “Tea Partay” image presented in an ad for Smirnoff Raw Tea. And I quote, …white tennis visors right down to our toes in a pair of top-siders. I guess these dudes were trendsetters already back in 2006, heh. Got to love the different influencers in the fashion scene. Note: I do not think the actual video is the influencer but the style per se.

Enough about that, do you still remember I posted some stuff about the Nike baseball kicks? Well new images of the kicks have surfaced and decided to share em’ with you folks. The shoes do look great I have to say. The leather and stitching are supposedly same as the leather used in the baseball gloves.

A bit shorter post today I know but I am still in a chill mode, heh. We’ll be back tomorrow with new KIKS TYO Tees so keep your eyes open. Life’s great so enjoy it. I’m out…
