Return to your youth with this cool new Sneaker Colouring Book. Featuring 100 line drawings of the most popular sneakers from way back in 1916 to present day, it’ll have you churning out new and unique colour ways like a bona fide shoe designer, although if you’re anything like us you’ll probably resist the temptation to sully the perfect black and white images with your own scribblings. 18 major brands including Adidas, Converse, New Balance, Nike, Onitsuka Tiger, Puma, Reebok and Vans are all included, so either way, it’s a great book to flip through while you ponder your next sneaker purchase.
In stores from early July are these sweet new Nike Air Lunar 180s. Blending the classic 180 upper with the Lunar sole with Nike’s Torch material filling the gaps, this is truly a mashup of all some of the iconic footwear brand’s greatest hits. Selling for $160, you better get in quick.

This is funner than it sounds. A group of outdoorsy South Africans use water-repellent footwear to try and run across water. They call it Liquid Mountaineering. We’re not sure if it’s real or fake, but given the right kind of day and the right amount of booze, we wouldn’t mind giving it a crack. I think the principal is similar to skipping stones, but it’s much more hilarious to watch these guys excitedly plunge in to a cold looking lake. What do you think? Are you buying it?

Shorter days. Torrential rain. Cold temperatures. Yes, the winter is here in Australia, but it’s not all bad news as it means that sneaker lovers across the country are hanging up their Havianas and dusting off their favourite kicks.
It was particularly miserable this weekend and the gloomy conditions were less than ideal for shooting, but the look of this sharply dressed sneaker owner brightened up my day.
Alexa is a singer/dancer originally from the UK and she picked up these vibrant Nike kicks while working in the US about 5 months ago and wears them as often as she can for performing on stage, dancing or shopping on wet winter weekends.
