I admit it. I have a problem. They even have a name for my addiction: Sneakerhead. And when it comes to Yohji Yamamoto, don't get in my way to the checkout line (even if it's online).
Enter Yohji Yamamoto’s new low top patent leather sneaker. The simple silhouette gets the patent leather treatment in three colorways. The mid-sole comes in white and the toe tip in contrasting black. These are now available at eLuxury.
I confess that I am a sneakerhead (see Want It. Need It. Sneakers). So, I am very excited to see adidas collaborate with one of its key athletes on a time relevant-released custom shoe. Especially when they commemorate my alma mater, the Colorado Buffaloes.
Playing his first Thanksgiving Day game as a Denver Nugget tonight, Chauncey Billups will mark the occasion with a pair of kicks. True to his history of coming up big when it counts, Billups will also use the occasion to generate some cash for a charity that he’s involved with.
A limited—limited—number of these gold colored shoes will go up for auction Friday on the NBA's auction site. Billups will sign and number just 11 pairs of these shoes and the bidding will start at a reasonable $100, with the gates open for one week, wrapping up on Dec. 4. All money raised from the auctions will go to the Porter-Billups Leadership Academy.
Want 'em. Need 'em. Go Buffs!
