VANCOUVER TRENDZ [THURSDAY]

Kick-Ass Kicks

January 24, 2008

Nothing says “springtime” like a brand-new pair of kicks. Now we know we’re jumping the gun here, but it’s been winter for just too darn long, and we’re urging everyone to bring spring a little closer, a little quicker - starting with your feet.

These ladies’ chucks from Nike remind us of a patchwork quilt (which makes sense, seeing as how they’re called the Blazer Mid “Patchwork”) and Neopolitan ice cream (which doesn’t make a whole lot of sense). These trainers’ trademarks include lots of stitching, different colour combos, and the ability to provoke kick-envy at 200 metres.
 
What’s more, these sweeties were released just this month, so act now and be the coolest kid on the block - and the first to bring in spring. Available at Livestock, 239 Abbott Street.
