Taylor Momsen Goes Viral for Nike

Posted Jan 18th 2009 at 11:00AM by Tiffany Neal

Filed under: Style in the News



After the many years we have spent our hard earned dollars on Nike sweat suits and sneakers, we still have absolutely no idea what "Just Do It" actually means. Nonetheless, the shoe company has managed to successfully associate the catch phrase with several iconic products over the years with equally epic ad campaigns.

Case in point: Gossip Girl cutie Taylor Momsen's viral video for Nike. In the clip, the actress is suppose to be hawking sports bras and shoes. However, after all of the super swift martial arts moves Momsen performs, while trying to escape the crowd of paps, we could have sworn it was in reality a one-minute short for an upcoming Billy Blanks project. Watch and enjoy.

Nike, now making edible sneakers

Posted Aug 15th 2008 at 3:45PM by Tiffany Neal

Filed under: Accessories, Shoes


Admittedly, the invisibility cloak we waxed lyrical about a couple of days ago is much cooler than this latest sneaker to come out of the Nike camp, but we're suckers for fine cuisine, well, yummy-looking giant cheeseburgers, more specifically.

We're almost certain that no one from Nike's in-house design team had anything to do with the creation of this edible sneaker, but if they are smart, they should definitely start manufacturing a similar prototype. Preferably, with no ketchup or tomatoes, thanks.

What really gets us about the hamburger shoe, though, are the noodle shoe laces and the little piece of what appears to be a slice of tomato that doubles as the lace holder. Brilliant.

Nike releases riding boot for the Olympics

Posted Aug 8th 2008 at 11:01AM by Josh Loposer

Filed under: Accessories, Clothing, Shoes


Equestrian styles haven't changed a whole lot in the past century, and apparently Nike thinks it's about time to stir things up. As part of their Olympic footwear preview -- in which Nike rolled out new shoe designs for 32 Olympic events from gymnastic to archery -- the famous sneaker brand gave us a glimpse of their take on the equestrian boot. Needless to say, the shiny, modern-looking design is getting some mixed reviews.

They're called the "Ippeas" -- that's Greek for rider -- and at least one rider objects to the Nike's redesign. She called them "the stripper boot of the horse world." Don't think too hard about that quote. In our opinion, the boots don't look too sexy. We see more of futuristic Star Wars resemblance. See what we're talking about? The black leather with the red piping looks like something Darth Maul would wear. Not only that, but the funky zipper across the front, and that weird spur thing -- we think maybe Nike got a little too techno on these babies.

On Location at the Hancock Premiere

Posted Jul 7th 2008 at 12:27PM by Michael Buckner

Filed under: Events: On the Scene

Michael Buckner is a fashion and celebrity photographer who travels around the world taking pictures on the red carpet. He gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the hottest entertainment industry events.

(Click the image to see more photos from the premiere)

Big summer premieres always draw a large crowd on Hollywood Blvd. Monday night was no different for Will Smith's Hancock premiere. Stars Will Smith, Charlize Theron and Jason Bateman walked the red carpet through piles of toppled cop cars and taxi cabs with their respective significant others. Casts from the past Tatyana Ali, Queen Latifah (in a sick pair of Nike Women's Dunks), Amanda Peet, Virginia Madsen and so many more showed their support for yet another super hero movie this year.

Jada Pinkett Smith looked stunning in a green dress with bright blue Indian-style earrings.

Right when I was zipping my camera bag shut Will, Charlize and Jason walked all the way back down the carpet for a group shot, but all in all, it was a great day for summer premieres -- especially since most celebrities don't want to come out to their friend's openings any more.

And now... Barack Obama sneakers

Posted Jun 27th 2008 at 10:44AM by Josh Loposer

Filed under: Accessories, Shoes, Celebrities with Style


Barack Obama's face has already been featured on flags, t-shirts, and even designer men's underwear. Now, some dude named Van Taylor is hocking Nike Air Force sneakers, hand-painted with Barack's face and slogans, online for $500 a pair. We have to hand it to the guy, it's a brilliant idea. We think he'll still be trying to fill orders when the 2012 presidential election rolls around.

When people start painting your face on shoes, you know you've reached a level of popularity that is both awesome and freakishly scary. We can't remember too many celebrities who've had the honor of being depicted on footwear. Oprah's face has never been on a shoe. Che Guevara? Jesus? It's pretty much just Michael Jordan and Obama.

If I were an aging, dorky, white presidential candidate -- I would certainly be worried about my chances. Maybe someone in the McCain camp should start hand-painting Sperry Top-Siders.

Wimbledon is fashion central, at least for tennis

Posted Jun 27th 2008 at 9:17AM by Cat Lincoln

Filed under: Clothing, Celebrities with Style



Maria promised to change up her Wimbledon outfit, and and she came through. Her "menswear-inspired" Nike outfit is a decidedly sexy, sheer top with a tudexo "dickie" embellishing the front. With the matching white jacket and white shorts, she could as easily be on her way to lunch as to a championship match.

Players frequently blend in at Wimbledon, where everyone is required to wear white from head to toe. A few, like Sharapova, manage to stand out despite this restriction.

Five-time champion Roger Federer, also sponsored by Nike, does it with a surprise look each year. Others, like Rafa Nadal and his manpris, have their own unique and consistent look that they bring to every match. Not to mention regular fashion notables Serena and Venus Williams, who are almost as well known for their fashion off the court as they are for winning on the court.

Check out the fashion high points of Wimbledon Week One in the gallery.

Maria Sharapova changes it up at Wimbledon

The Wimbledon grand slam tournament started on Monday, with top seeded trendsetter Maria Sharapova surprising everyone by wearing shorts this year.

The Nike -clad Sharapova going butch is a big surprise. Usually Maria is the girliest of girls on the court, with long blond hair, long earrings and short, flirty skirts. Last year her white Wimbledon dress was inspired by Swan Lake. One year she even wore diamond encrusted shoes.

Join us for a spin down memory lane as we check out Maria's past Wimbledon fashion choices in the gallery.

Tender toes tout Pure Care diabetic relief socks

Posted May 9th 2008 at 8:19AM by Cat Lincoln

Filed under: Clothing


If you have tender toes, then you know that working out can mean more than just aching muscles. The wrong socks can rub your feet raw with rough material or sharp seams.

Many, many times we've been really cooking on the elliptical machine, thinking, "We're finally going to fit into that sample size dress!" only to cut the workout short because of painful blisters from our socks.

Just because Earth Day is over doesn't mean we should go back to stomping our carbon footprints all over the carpet. The thing is that Earth Day is every day and if we're not careful Earth may be the next Pluto. Hey, it could happen!

That's why we're pleased to bring you the 'Trash Talk' shoe from Nike. Yes, Nike. Big companies can have a heart, too.

This eyewear is money

Posted Mar 30th 2008 at 8:34PM by Whit Honea

Filed under: Accessories, Style in the News, Celebrities with Style

It's so money it doesn't even know it. Claw Money to be exact. Claw is the handle, so to speak, of an ex-graffiti artist named Claudia. She was the queen of NYC before moving to L.A. and going legit with a career in styling and costume design for music videos. Her clients included KORN, Brian McKnight, GNR and Ice Cube.

She returned to New York and did some television and print ad styling work for Nike, Guinness, and Footlocker, to name a few.

Now she writing books and designing all kinds of stuff, some of which we may show you in the future, but for now you'll have to be content with these sweet shades, the Nuggets ($300), Gazelles ($250), and Aviators ($230). Sweet shades, indeed . You know your future is so bright that you want to wear them.

Puma will buy Hussein Chalayan

Posted Feb 29th 2008 at 4:07PM by Kyle Hepp

Filed under: Style in the News

Running against stiff competition like Nike and Adidas, Puma has been struggling in recent years. And really it's hard to compete with Stella McCartney designing for Adidas and Nike basically having the backing of every major sports superstar out there. But Puma is putting it's best foot forward. They recently decided to buy the Hussein Chalayan fashion label.

For Puma's fall 2009 line, Hussein Chalayan will supervize "the creation, design and collection of (Puma's) Sportfashion collection."

Chalayan will work out London, which makes sense since he already has a name for himself there. He's won Best British designer of the year twice.

Alexander McQueen already designs for the Puma and I don't really know how much it's done to invigorate the company. Really, Hussein Chalayan isn't a household name for people outside the fashion world. I don't know how much this is going to help the ailing Puma brand gain street cred. Although, maybe since the label is more well known in Europe it will gain some ground for Puma over there.

Good luck to Puma, but I have to say, I'll be sticking with Adidas!

Retro fitness gear anyone?

Posted Jan 31st 2008 at 9:00AM by Josh Loposer

Filed under: Accessories, Clothing, Shoes

I run at night, so it doesn't even matter what my shoes look like -- but still I can't get myself to buy the standard, dorky-looking running shoes for some reason. That's why I was super excited to see that Nike is bringing back the old waffle style running shoe.

They may be low tech, but I don't care. Give me retro nylon and suede leather and I'll whip you up and down the hike and bike trails.

I might even buy these babies at a second-hand store, but I prefer to stink up my own shoes. I found these at Finish Line, but I'm seeing them all over the place. Best thing Nike has done since Air Jordans.
