All Things Chill

I’m going to pick up some new kicks today – some gray surplus Jack Purcell® sneakers from J.Crew. I’ve been wearing my old pair of Campers for so long that it’s time to rock a more subdued set of footwear. They were great everyday shoes and went with pretty much everything but [...]

What do you do when your company is suffering from 3 bad cases of brand identity? ADD ANOTHER ONE TO MESS IT UP EVEN MORE OF COURSE! According to Little Jenny C, Gap Inc. has created another brand… this time focusing on shoes. The new online-only site, Piperlime.com joins the already [...]

…but if I still had plans of keeping the red iPod nano and the Nike+ module, I’d definitely get these shoes. I introduce you to the Air Zoom Moire+ (style# 314496) in “steath” and “industrial orange” (color # 081).
An incredibly lightweight and flexible running shoe, the Air Zoom Moire offers up a super comfortable [...]

I got new kicks!
Cole Haan Aleck Strap Loafer
$165.00
Style # C04894
Modern strap slip-on in soft polished and buffed leather. Fully leather lined. Brick red sock lining. Sleek flexible rubber sole.
They’re not as light as my Tsubos (I still love them), but they fit great and keep my feet as snug as a bug in a rug… [...]

Does anyone have Camper shoes? I tried on a pair yesterday (Yay moblogging!) with a lot of help from Barumi, one of the nicest sales associates you’ll ever meet. The shoes are a rich, warm brown with orange soles. They look great and stand out, without becoming TOO work un-friendly. [...]

A rough-n-tough ,yet kinda smart-n-classy square-toe offering from Puma? Yes please!
With its motobike story PUMA sets a new benchmark in the world of motorsport footwear. The V11 stands for a sneaker low cut, which features many motobike influences, such as gear shifter, specialized motobike outsole and a lot more.
The V11 runs for $100. [...]

The Puma Taper in black. HOTT. Ok. So I’ve been looking for a good pair of kicks to sport (translation: shoes to wear) while I’m out on the town. Something subdued, yet stylish enough to be noticed by those who would actually care to notice them. They might seem [...]

The Ecco Beta Sandals for Men. Thanks to Ally for the company. Picked ‘em up a couple days ago @ DSW. Super comfortable and a wee bit lighter in weight than my Tsubo shoes from a while back. They’re slick and seem durable enough for daily wear and tear. I’m [...]

It’s still cold in Chicago. I like to wear layers and keep warm, but seriously… it’s freakin’ Mid-May. I don’t want to have to keep a hoodie in my car trunk just in case it gets sub 50°’s outside. As chilly as it is outside, it helps to have someone close by [...]

No single image can encompass the multiplicity of tasks women go through during an active day. Nor can a single image describe the diversity of the women [...]

From Cool Hunting:
Puma, Vexed and Biomega teamed up to create this highly functional, yet totally minimal bike. I had the chance to try it out last week and was pleasantly surprised. I was expecting the looks would exceed the comfort and function. As it turns out, they’re evenly matched. This team has managed to create [...]

Nordstrom’s had their men’s annual sale over break and I picked up some sweet kicks @ a semi-decent price. Here’s info on the Tsubo Apogee:
Transcendent style with comfort to match, these slip on casual mocs from Tsubo are simply amazing. Smooth full grain leather upper in a casual slip on moc style with unique [...]

Quick Post. From Gizmodo. Fun Slides Carpet Skates:
The promotional material claims these carpet skates are like, “socks on a hardwood floor,” but having lived with hardwood floors for some years now, I can’t imagine Fun Slides are quite as splinterific. They do look kinda fun, though, and there’s a carpet puck accessory available [...]
