My Line 7 Shoes!

Our forefathers can walk barefooted to carry out all sorts of their daily activities right? Imagine back then, everyone doesn't need to hook up a pair of shoes to walk around. No need to tie your shoelace, no need to wash your shoes and definitely no need to polish it! A great example are the hobbits in the movie LOTR! Then again their feet are pretty thick back then. Ha :D These days, we can't walk around shoeless anymore. Why? Because we might get injured...the eggs of tape worm could penetrate through our feet and grow in our body etc.!

No shoes, no problemo!

So shoes are indeed important right? A lot of us have different shoes to cater to our different daily activities. For example, you slip into your Nike basketball shoes if you want to slam some balls; you put on your shiny, black leather shoes when you are off to work; and you show off your green Croc while strolling around in the park with your pet dog! Different shoes for different occasion right? Likewise, I only have a pair of shoes for all virtually everything I do!

Ta~da! My Line 7 Shoe!

Enter my Line 7 all-in-one shoes! Although it is neither Adidas nor Nike, I still love it very much! Unlike a lot of you who have different shoes, I only have this baby of mine to accompany me to everywhere I go. I use it to play basketball, jogging, badminton, playing futsal, working, traveling and dating (with my wife)! You see how omnipotent it is! Then again you can say that I'm stingy or poverty stricken! LOL :D

My "Omnipotent" companian!

Do you guys know why I am so attracted to this brand, and not Nike, Reebok or Adidas? Well...it is because of the No. 7! Yes! I love number Seven very much and that's why I love shoes from Line 7! Actually this shoes of mine is meant for badminton...but heck, to me it is very special shoes that follows me wherever I go! I bought for only RM59.90 and it has lasted about 7 months now. Sounds like a pretty good bargain for me since it is a multipurpose shoes! :D

Don't you just love the "7"?

So how about you guys? How many pair of shoes do you have? Do you have different shoes for different activities? Mind sharing with us the brand too? LOL :p Have a nice day folks. Take care of your shoes ya.


The Sneaker Obsession: Exploring the Love and Price Behind Iconic Footwear

Sneakers have evolved from functional footwear to a cultural phenomenon, capturing the hearts and wallets of individuals worldwide. You can wear your sneakers on a leisurely walk or to a fancy dinner with Paso Robles wine. The love affair with sneakers extends beyond their practicality, with enthusiasts embracing them as a form of self-expression, status symbol, and collector's item. However, this fervour for sneakers often comes at a high cost. In this article, we delve into the reasons why people adore their sneakers and explore the factors contributing to their steep price tags.7 Factors That Are Driving The Sneaker Obsession1. Fashion and Self-ExpressionSneakers have transcended their utilitarian purpose to become a powerful fashion statement. They allow individuals to express their unique style, personality, and interests. Sneaker enthusiasts often meticulously curate their collections, selecting shoes that resonate with their aesthetic preferences and align with current trends. The diversity of sneaker designs, colours, and collaborations provides an extensive array of options for self-expression, creating a sense of individuality and personal identity.2. Cultural SignificanceSneakers have become intertwined with popular culture, music, sports, and streetwear. Iconic sneakers are worn by celebrities, athletes, and musicians often influence trends and create a sense of aspiration and admiration. Sneakers serve as a symbol of cultural relevance, representing a connection to specific subcultures and communities. The desire to be part of these cultural movements fuels the love for sneakers.3. Limited Editions and ExclusivityOne significant driver of the sneaker obsession is the scarcity and exclusivity associated with certain releases. Sneaker brands often produce limited editions or collaborate with renowned designers, artists, or influential figures. These limited releases create a sense of urgency and desirability, as collectors and enthusiasts strive to obtain a unique pair that holds both monetary and sentimental value. The exclusivity factor elevates the perceived worth of sneakers and contributes to their high demand and prices.4. Craftsmanship and QualityPremium sneakers often command a higher price due to their superior craftsmanship and quality materials. Sneaker brands invest in research, development, and innovation to create comfortable and durable footwear. The use of high-grade materials, advanced manufacturing techniques, and attention to detail enhance the overall aesthetics and performance of the sneakers. The combination of craftsmanship and quality justifies the higher price point for those seeking a superior wearing experience.5. Brand Prestige and ReputationSneaker brands with a rich heritage and strong reputation often command a higher price tag. These brands have cultivated a loyal following over the years by consistently delivering iconic designs, innovative technology, and quality craftsmanship. The association with reputable brands adds an element of prestige to the sneakers, enticing enthusiasts who value the brand's history and legacy. The perception of exclusivity and superior quality linked to established brands contributes to the elevated prices.6. Resale Market DynamicsThe booming sneaker resale market has also contributed to the high prices of coveted sneakers. Limited releases or highly sought-after collaborations often sell out quickly upon release, leading to increased demand and scarcity. Resellers capitalize on this demand-supply gap by reselling sneakers at significantly inflated prices, driven by the willingness of enthusiasts to pay a premium to acquire rare or sold-out pairs. The resale market further amplifies the perception of sneakers as valuable and drives up their prices.7. Marketing and HypeEffective marketing strategies and well-executed hype-building campaigns play a significant role in driving the popularity and price of sneakers. Sneaker brands utilize strategic collaborations, celebrity endorsements, social media campaigns, and carefully orchestrated product launches to generate anticipation and excitement. The hype surrounding limited releases creates a sense of urgency and fuels the desire to own a specific pair of sneakers, driving up their perceived value and price.The love for sneakers is deeply rooted in their ability to merge fashion, self-expression, cultural significance, and exclusivity. Sneaker enthusiasts are captivated by the opportunity to showcase their style, connect with cultural movements, and own coveted pairs that reflect their passion and identity. While the high prices of sneakers can be attributed to factors such as limited editions, craftsmanship, brand prestige, and market dynamics, it is ultimately the emotional connection and perceived value that drive individuals to invest in these beloved pieces of footwear.Images credit: Shutterstock

Air Jordan 1 Washed Black Sneakers

When referring to something as "washed," the connotation is typically negative. Urban Dictionary defines "washed" as "a term for a general feeling of exhaustion, fatigue, and lack of motivation." Thankfully, Jordan Brand's most recent Air Jordan 1 colourway, "Washed Black," does not adhere to this depressing definition. The "Washed Black" is the type of wash that is fresh, clean, and pristine, featuring a largely subdued colour scheme with some compelling material adjustments.Air Jordan 1 Washed Black SneakersFor the uninitiated, this Air Jordan 1 Washed Black is a smoky, suede-supported style which is Michael Jordan’s first signature sneaker.

A Zoom Air bag stuffed within the forefoot of the midsole unit delivers rapid energy return for basketball players on the floor.Dominating Black ColourwayThere are numerous distinctive touches that allude to his personal life. The slogan "I Just Didn't Quit," which is tattooed on his calf, and the coordinates for his hometown of St. Louis are located on the TPU piece. "Living Proof" is printed on the outer sections of the rubber, referencing his friendship with Bradley Beal and how he mentored Tatum during his path to the league.

What if, however, your flip-flops include a detachable hood that can be worn to transform them into appropriate footwear for chilly weather? Behold the Havaianas x Market Zip Top Slides Flip-flop that can do both!The Havaianas x Market Zip Top Slides Flip-flopThe newest collaboration between the two companies, this shoe boasts a brand-new shape that can transition from summer flip-flops to winter-ready puffer shoes by removing the upper. Yes, this item has a removable, insulated puffer upper that zips on and off, allowing you to wear the same flip-flops throughout the colder months of the year as you did throughout the summer.Change From Flip-flops to Full FootwearThe Havaianas x Market Zip Top Slides are a pair of flip-flops featuring a thicker sole and broader straps than the brand's typical sandals. In addition, it appears to have a somewhat broad profile, which should facilitate the addition of the upper. And sure, it appears to be a beach-appropriate flip-flop with zipper teeth on the footbed's edges. The zipper teeth that they included, however, blend in rather than stand out, so that unless people are paying great attention, they are difficult to see.Transformable FootwearThose zipper teeth are, of course, there so that you can attach the supplied quilted upper, which transforms the once-open slippers into insulated puffer slides. How warm is this outerwear? It appears to be the type of sufficiently insulating quilted uppers typically found on slip-on shoes designed for cold weather. Sure, it's still not the type of shoe you'd want to wear when strolling about town during the winter, but it does appear to be the kind of footwear you wouldn't mind wearing while clearing the driveway or going to the local takeout joint.Versatile and Comfortable Flip-flopThe Havaianas x Market Zip Top Slides combine a cushioned footbed, an EVA foam midsole for comfort, and a rubber outsole for traction, but with a rice pattern on the outsole that appears more appropriate for the beach than slick and cold terrain. Therefore, this footwear is probably best suited for keeping your feet warm indoors throughout the winter, while allowing you to play outside during warmer months. These are paired with a thong-style toe post, broad straps, a nylon zipper, and a polyester quilted covering.Fancy Such Convertible Footwear?The toe post and straps remain in place at all times, regardless of whether the shoe is in flip-flop mode or winter shoe mode, so your toes may always be secured on the post and straps. Even if the top becomes a touch loose, this item will be less likely to slip off your foot. The upper comes with a cinch on the back, so you can tighten it if it wears a bit too loose (although, judging by its appearance, the upper is supposed to be a bit loose). The Havaianas x Market Zip Top Slides come with a price tag of US$120 (RM549). For more information, head over to Havaianas' official website.

Behold the amazing Timberland Floating Forest by Stefano Boeri. In an effort to highlight the significance of urban greening in the fight against climate catastrophe, the architect Stefano Boeri collaborated with Timberland to design a tree-filled pavilion that floats on Milan's Darsena. This architecture reminds me of The Valley in Amsterdam which focuses on the luxuriant forest as its theme.Timberland Floating Forest By Stefano BoeriTimberland commissioned Boeri and his team to build an installation for the Salone del Mobile design event in Milan that would educate the public on the significance of regenerative materials and methods. The final "Floating Forest" exhibit consists of approximately 600 plants and 30 species that have been examined and chosen for their environmental benefits in urban settings. Definitely, this will be a welcome addition for the urbanites.30 Species of Plants on Floating ForestBoeri claims that this Floating Forest is a green graft in the heart of Milan. It is an ecosystem capable of expanding natural biodiversity that will activate environmental benefits connected with urban forestry in conjunction with other green spaces in the city.

Inside, information regarding Timberland's own sustainability efforts is displayed throughout the "forest" The aromas of the selected flora and wildlife are palpable and touchable by guests.Experience Forest on an IslandDesigned to be multisensory, the walk through the exhibit stops at four essential locations relating to distinct senses and enables visitors to gain additional knowledge through virtual reality (VR) experiences.

Experience 02 is dedicated to the brand's GreenStride soles, which are composed of 75 per cent sugar cane and tree-derived rubber.Timberloop Take Back ProgramFinally, Experience 03 looks beyond the brand and out into the city, and through augmented reality interventions emphasizes the good impact that nature could have on the environment of Milan. At the conclusion of the project, all of the trees will be donated to a local non-profit organization, while the materials used to construct it will be repurposed.It's All About Environmental ResponsibilityCan you spot the Timberland logo?"The Floating Forest's objective is not only to express new forms of environmental responsibility and new ways of inhabiting and modifying urbanised environments but also to provide a site of intersection and reconciliation between the natural realm and humans," the brand stated.Do you want to visit this Floating Forest?As part of Milan Design Week, Floating Forest is open through June 12.

The overlays, which have what looks like a smooth finish, the quarters, which have perforations, the collar windows, which are done up with perforations, and the collars, which have rough ridges, all have distinct textures that set them apart from one another.The Sneakers for Rui HachimuraYellow is used in a prominent way on the Air Jordan buckles, the midsole parts, and the lower heel moulds on these shoes. Additionally, felt-infused tongue patches that are fitted with the Taxi-inspired hues are included in the package. The colour scheme of these kicks brings to mind the colour scheme of the Air Jordan 12 "University Gold" shoe, which was released in the year 2020.The combination of Yellow and BlackThis reminds me of Pikachu and Transformers Bumblebee too! 😂Take a closer look at the official photographs of the sneaker that are displayed in the gallery located above, and keep in mind that we anticipate them to be available in the following weeks.

Sporting giant Nike and NBA superstar LeBron James have just unleashed the latest eye-catching Nike  LeBron 19 Hard Hat Colourway. By putting out a striking new colourway of the Nike LeBron 19, called "Hard Hat," LeBron James and Nike are drawing attention to the significance of having a strong foundation. Heck! I think this sneaker should be the de facto shoes for those working in construction. Check them out to see if you agree.Nike LeBron 19 Hard Hat Colourway SneakersThe all-yellow silhouette is scheduled to release this summer, demonstrating that it is essential to possess the appropriate resources in order to construct a team that is capable of winning a title. Canary yellow is used as the basic colour throughout the shoe, including on the upper, the eyelets, the midsole, and the characteristic marking that is printed on the plastic panel.Snazzy Yellow ColourThe yellow foundation is contrasted with black ornamentation, which can be seen on the hazard-striped Swoosh on the lateral ankle and the LBJ logo on the tongue. The need of establishing a foundation is brought attention to by a printed graphic of an excavator that is shown on the heel, which is placed above translucent panels. This graphic is consistent with the construction brand which I thought is kinda cute but at the same time sends out the strong intended message.With Bold "Under Construction" GraphicsThe design of the Nike LeBron 19 Hard Hat Colourway is finished off with a white Air bubble sole to complete the look. I thought this pair of sneakers is both practical and fashionable at the same time.

To give this ultra-cool shoe its contemporary look, a square toe has been added. Interestingly, a black leather strap around the heel with the 1066 theme branding completes the look. I wonder why the strap is not polished to complement the whole package?The Shoes For The Knight In You!Apparently, as leaked by Instagrammer @myfacewheno_o-it was claimed that this medieval footwear is not really the most comfortable sneakers for you to put on. Then again, making the statement is the main idea here, no?

Nike Air Zoom AlphaFly NEXT Ekiden has just been released to celebrate the annual relay race marathons in Japan. This pair of sneakers is launched to commemorate Japan's most-watched annual sporting event. It will be the perfect homage to pay tribute to Ekiden season whereby several multi-stage relay marathons are being held all over Japan.Nike Air Zoom AlphaFly NEXT% EkidenIn Japan, one of the most well-known modern Ekiden races is the Hakone Ekiden. Teams of 10 male students from different universities in Tokyo will participate in the popular Hakone Ekiden. It was reported that as much as 50% of the Japanese population watched last year's edition of Ekiden. Hence, it makes perfect sense for sporting companies to push their brands during this event.Adorned in glorious orange-golden hues!The Ekiden is organized over the duration of two days and each runner is tasked to cover around the distance of half marathon before passing the baton to the next runner in the team. The word "Eki" can be translated to "station" in Japanese while "Den" can be defined as "to convey". So Ekiden is actually coined to pay homage to the ancient Japanese transportation system when government documents were hand-delivered via horses and men who covered long distances.I love the design!Hence, the latest Nike Air Zoom AlphaFly NEXT% Ekiden will see the Atomknit uppers and split mid-sole.be graced in gradient Amarillo, Healing Orange and Magma Orange hues. The lateral and medial sides of the shoes will be adorned with glow-in-the-dark eye-stays and fractal black swooshes.

However, I predict that the sneakers will come with a price tag of US$199 in select Japanese retailers.
