On January 18, 2012,  Nike announced that the beloved Converse corporation will launch several collections of skate shoes in Spring 2012.  As part of the Converse Skate Ambassador Collection, pro skaters Nick Trapasso, Anthony Pappalardo and Kenny Anderson will each have shoes released on February 1st, 2012 .

Partnering with the professional skaters was inevitable — Trapasso started his own company, Life Extension Skateboards, along with fellow skater Patrick Pasquale. “Trapasso’s signature shoe is called the CONS Trapasso Pro and will feature a multi-density sock liner and full memory foam collar that are designed to conform to the skater’s feet” (Yahoo). Trapasso’s Converse will be available in either suede or leather and either black and white or gray and cranberry, while Pasquale’s will be canvas or suede, available in brown and black or gray and red. Anderson’s skate shoes, the KA-ONE, will “come in black and red, red and parchment, parchment and white, black and white as well as black and parchment” (Yahoo).

With so many materials and colors to choose from, skaters are sure to do their next ollie in style (whatever an ollie is….).

Friday, January 13th, 2012

hank moody

For those who may not know, Hank Moody is the main character of the show Californication and is the smoothest ladies man currently on television.  So what’s Hanks story?

Occupation: Writer

Signature look: Black T Shirt and dark denim jeans paired with a sport jacket (Dressed Up) up or a leather jacket (Casual) and of course his signature sunglasses and Blundstone boots.

The Hank Moody look is easily achievable with the help of Blundstone, but whether or not it’ll improve your robot-like approach to women is whole other story.

The Perfect Pair: Men’s Style

Wednesday, January 4th, 2012

men's fashion

For months now we’ve focused on the ‘Perfect Pair’ of shoes for women and today it’s the man’s turn. Pair the perfect FRYE combat boots for a day in the city or one in the wilderness (how manly!).

For the city boy: Match your Frye Rogans with deep green pants and a simple silkscreen print tee. Since you aren’t exactly the man-bag kind of guy, accessorize with a simple black and white watch.

For the rugged outdoorsman: Thermal pants, a knit sweater, and a weatherproof coat go best with your black boots. Since you’re so “manly” man-cessorize with a metal hinged cuff.

The Perfect Pair: Men’s Combo Pack

Tuesday, January 3rd, 2012

men's fashion

Most men need a little “guidance” in the fashion department, that’s why we’ve come up with a brief  ”combo pack” guide. Unlike women, men need socks daily and often have little to no idea how to mix and match their boot/shoe and sock combinations (we understand, it’s confusing).

If you aren’t the bold type, stick with grays and blacks, but if you’re feeling adventurous add a print in the mix — you’ll stand out and you’re sure to get compliments from the ladies (Possibly men too. We can’t guarantee anything). Start off simple and work your way to prints because it is not the easiest task even for the oldest fashion aficionado.

2012′s Winter Boot Of Choice

Tuesday, January 3rd, 2012

duck boot

According to both The Cut and Refinery 29, the 2012 Winter Boot of Choice is the L.L. Bean duck boot. While it may not be our first choice for “Boot of the Year”, the century-old brand has recently tripled their sales of the boot. Originally intended for men, the drastic sale increase has spurred duck boots for women in both blue and pink (because apparently women only wear blue and pink).

The lightweight, durable, and affordable boots may seem…what’s the word…CHUNKY, but they are your best bet come snowfall. With the L.L. Bean duck boot’s surge in popularity and its upcoming 100th birthday, will you be jumping on the snow boot bandwagon?

new year's eve

It may be easy for women to find New Year’s Eve shoes, but for most men the task is daunting. Here is a brief guide to NYE shopping for Men:

1. Stick to basic black, which goes with everything and is classic.

2. Don’t spend more than $150 on shoes you most likely won’t wear more than a handful of times per year.

3. Oxfords, loafers, and evening sneakers are your friend.

4. For the love of all things fashionable, match your belt to your shoes!
