A new Limited Edition collection from MS Sneaker, in collaboration with Shanghai-based concept shop Footmark comes the FutureStep sneakers. As you can see, they created a high top shoe, and a colorful one at that. But what is amazing about this collection is its interchangeable panels with 72 unique pieces that the wearer can mix and match for an almost infinite number of combination. Due for release in five days, it will be exclusively available at Footmark in Shanghai for approximately $440.

You have to fall in love with this pair if you’re willing to pay the price and the shipping fee. Indeed, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

In Europe SNEAKERNESS is the most comprehensive event as far as sneakers are concerned. It provides an international stage for sneaker culture, space to encounter sneaker aficionados and an interested audience, as well as an authentic setting for sneaker and lifestyle brands. On October 10 2009 SNEAKERNESS will take place in Austria for the first time.

For the ones they are simply trainers, but for the others they are THE object of desire, a passion, a fetish and a cultural good. For the latter, SNEAKERNESS is going to be THE must-see event where they can unrestrainedly abandon themselves to vice with like-minded people. Nevertheless, also ordinary trainer-wearers are very welcome to come and assure themselves on-site that sneakers are so much more than just footwear for the daily routine. Collectors, traders, manufacturers, heads and many, many more…all under one roof! But never call em shoes.

EXHIBIT.BUY.SELL.
No matter if Nike, Adidas, New Balance or Puma – it’s all about sneakers. SNEAKERNESS is the first Austrian event for all enthusiasts and fans. There sneakers can be traded, sold or bought at one of the stalls of the hippest Austrian sneaker shops. Rarities, collaborations, exhibitions, exclusive models, lacing schools, art workshops and further specials like sneaker giant Bobbito Garcia aka Kool Love from NYC are reason enough to highlight Saturday, October 10 2009, with a big red pencil.

EVENT DETAILS
BRAND BOOTHS Selected sneaker brands present themselves with exclusive models and collaborations at especially produced booths.

SNEAKERNESS ASKS YOU TO TAKE YOUR PLACE Who wants to trade and sell actively can lease one of the limitedly available sales- and trading-tables for a rental of EUR 50. For further information and advance bookings visit www.sneakerness.com

ABOUT SNEAKERNESS
SNEAKERNESS is an idea from Switzerland and has already taken place twice; once in Bern in 2008 and in Zurich in the following year – and that, owing to widespread media coverage and well-directed scene-targeted methods of communication, each time with 1,250 visitors from all regions of the country as well as the neighbouring countries. As a consequence of cooperations and strategic partnerships with the industry’s top sneaker brands and specialty media relevant to the global scene, SNEAKERNESS enjoys a high and internationally established credibility, that has already brought the establishment to the sneaker scene and that has advantaged and simplified the intended expansion to further European cities. Apart from Zurich and Vienna, also Hamburg, Warsaw and Amsterdam are being discussed as locations. www.sneakerness.com

CANT MISS!

ESPN’s 15th X-Games begin today in L.A. To correspond with the event, Supra has released two exclusive colorways of Terry Kennedy’s signature high top sneaker. With a neon pink or green leather upper and matching sole, these are clearly in the running for loudest Supras thus far. Now let’s see how TK stacks up against the competition in XG15. Apparently him and P-Rod were the only ones to show up for street practice on Monday.

Sick sneakers….neon rulezzzzzz!

Mackdaddy has released some images of the latest style they have produced as part of their footwear collection. Known as the Mackdaddy “Mack Sk8″ the sneakers appear to have a silhouette which looks to be a mix between the Vans Sk8-Hi and the Vans Chukka. The uppers feature a combo of suede and patent leather with suede on the toe, tongue and lace panels with patent leather on the rest of the upper. The uppers sit on top of tonal sole units and on the sole itself it says Mackdaddy.
