Ransom and Adidas have been doing some really good collaborative work as of late, and for that I salute them both.  New for Spring/Summer ’12 is the Army TR Low, a low top version of their previously released Army Trainer.    This is a clean and smart, everyday type of sneaker that everyone...

In honor of my wife’s bday I decided to go with an old school kick for today (has actually nothing to do with her bday).  These are called the Nike Challenger, and I think I own a pair but I’m not exactly sure.  Basically I own something with a similar silhouette, but I bought them long...

Upon first finding these, I must say that I was a novice to SeeVees.   But upon further investigation I learned they are a California based brand that “celebrates the casual style of California in the 1960s.”  I can dig it.  It’s laid back, edgy, I’m in!  Their latest release...

Keeping it clean and classic, Converse drops a low top version of last years super hot boot.  The 2011 Holiday All-Star Classic comes in either brown or black, and exemplifies all that’s right in a casual sneaker.   The upper is leather, and the sole is exactly what you’d expect from Converse....

You’ve packed everything: toothbrush, sardines, fresh socks, but dammit your shoes take up too much space. Timberland has the solution. Known as the Men’s Radler Trail Camp, these lightweight hikers come lined with a zipper on the side that allows you to fold each shoe in half and into a...

Dear CMG, I’d like to think I’m a pretty cool married guy, with a deep love for all things retro that remind me of my childhood in the 80s.  I recently stayed up till midnight (or 1:45am if you consider all of the trouble I had with the Foot Action website crashing) so I could buy myself...

Most of you are probably familiar with the NikeID website, where from time to time different Nike silhouettes are offered for customization.  The latest in their offerings is the Nike Toki, which has been probably my favorite for the last few years because of it’s casual versatility, and appropriateness...

We all want to stay warm in the Winter months, but what’s staying warm if you can’t do so in style?  Nike Sportswear drops the Air Royal Mid “Knit” pack, and shows how to accomplish this feat of stylish warmth.   The shoe comes in either a Blue or what their calling a Brown,...

Ah, the perfect pair of casual, go with everything type sneakers.  Seems easy enough to find, but surprisingly it’s often harder than you’d ever think.  But that’s what I’m here for, friends.  So let’s discuss the Converse Shooter First String in suede: a perfectly simple,...

The Nike SB Zoom Bruin is a clean, simple, casual sneaker for grown men like you and I.  A pair of jeans, a couple of simple layers on top, and a nice jacket and you’re ready for the Fall.  The latest release of the Zoom Bruin is the “Binary Blue” colorway, which features a blue suede...

I think that one of my favorite thing about sneakers is the nostalgia many of today’s retro styles bring.  Case in point: The Nike Air Max Command.  These look like something I would have drooled over when I was in 8th grade, and somehow that makes me very happy.  The upper is made from mesh...

Guess who’s back.  Back again.  Umbro’s back.  Tell a friend. I almost don’t even want to say that Umbro is “back,” because though I’m sure they made sneakers in the past, other than their wacky, multi-colored swishy shorts, none of their products ever made it on...

If you were to click on the “Sneakers” category, you would probably think Nike was sending me money to advertise for them.  Well, that would be more of a fantasy for me than a reality, but I will say that the corporate giant simply knows how to consistently design sneakers, and the more...
