My new MARC by MARC JACOBS bandana

Went to the store on Mount street today...

VOILA!

Nike Air Mocs...will never fit me!

I'm sooooo upset...finally manage to find a pair of Nike air Mocs in my size (uk men 6) and they TOO BIG! so I asked my mate to get me the next size down (uk men 5.5) and guess what? THEY'RE TOO SMALL...

"FML" excuse my french that's not fair!

In the size 6 my feet look like 2 boats next to each other and in the size 5.5 my toes are just squeezed to the front of the shoe...tried without the insole. I've got a bit more room but it still hurts!!!!!!!!

These are the ones I tried on...

 

...but these are the ones I really want...I wrote a post about them in September

Love Nike...xxx

What is SNEAKERPIDIA?

Sneakerpedia is the first encyclopedia dedicated to sneakers.
Sneakerpedia is a community run “by sneakerheads, for sneakerheads” and “powered by Footlocker.”
It's a bit like Wikipedia but for sneakerheads.

Here's a little introduction...

Sneakerpedia Trailer from Sneakerpedia on Vimeo.

Of course when you need to launch a product whatever the type, promotion is key...so they hosted a party in Queen of Hoxton in London and I was there...all the guest had the the opportunity to create their profile on sneakerpedia.com in exclusivity before the public launch next year...

IT WAS FUN FUN FUN...
