Majority of us all have a pair of sneakers in our collection which mean a great deal to us. Most likely something we wouldn’t even dare taking out on the streets do to how much they mean to us, or do to how limited they just are and knowing the fact you will probably never get your hands on another pair. Some people have rather nice sneaker display cases which they have constructed, others simply just stack the boxes up in corners and closets.

If your one of the many who have those grails sitting in a box somewhere it’s time to take one of the sneakers outta the box and display it with pride with a sneaker display frame case provided by Sketchy White Van. The frame/case is available in two different sizes, one to accompany a high top and the other for a pair of low tops.

I have to admit, when i saw these on TSG i was pretty impressed. The low top version could of been centered a bit more in my opinion to fill up the gap but overall the idea is nice and the construction looks on point. I am even considering picking one up myself to test out and see how it looks on the wall. They defiantly are a little on the bulky side, but what else would you expect for something holding a sneaker within it. Both the high top and low top model are available for $75 exclusively through Sketchy White Van.

Every sneakerhead out there has that old beat up pair of kicks in the back of their closet which looks as if they are about to fall apart. You know, the pair you may have went hard in to many times on the court, or quite possibly a pair you just use to rock on the regular which has caused them to suffer from the elements you come across on the streets.

Theres no reason at all for those sneakers to just sit in the closet, no matter how beat they may look. With The JGoods Sneaker Restoration Kit by JGoods its easy for anybody to breathe life back into their old, worn, beat shoes. With the help of this kid your sneakers which you once considered un-rockable can fit right back into your daily lineup again and look fresh again.

As i was cleaning up a pair of kicks today, the Jones Beach Air Force Ones to be exact, a friend had mentioned how he feels that i spend way to much time cleaning my sneakers. I will admit that i do clean my sneakers quite often, but then again doesnt that just go to show the love i have for them? Its sort of like my cars, another love of mine. I clean them atleast once or twice a week cause i cant stand something that i have a passion for looking as if i neglect it and could care less about how it appears. For a few minutes we got to arguing back and fourth about the matter, him saying i clean my sneakers to much and me saying he doesnt clean his enough.

Due to that we have decided to put together a poll asking our readers how often they clean their sneakers. Click here to check out the poll and vote!!

It goes without saying that Starks Laces makes some of the nicest and highest quality shoelaces on the market. In the past we’ve featured a few of their laces such as the Tribe Called Quest Shoelaces. Since we just took a look at the Air Jordan 1 Phat Low Polka Dot Pack i figured i would post up these new laces from Starks Laces which are dubbed “Dots”. It should be obvious where the name for these comes from. They look like a pretty nice fit for the Polka Dot Air Jordan 1 Phat, if polka dots are your thing that is. Even if these dot shoelaces arent your thing you need to hit up the Stakes Laces website anyway and check out all the other hot designs.

Starks has been known to create some of the best quality shoelaces on the market. I have a few pairs myself and i can defiantly say they are worth whatever you may pay for them. Some of their design ideas are great, such as their newest design here which is a tribute to one of the classic rap groups of the 90s, A Tribe Called Quest. Starks presents you with the Tribe Called Quest shoelaces which are designed using the same colors in the artistic and colorful “The Low End Theory” album artwork. With the splashes of neon colors these are right up the alley with the colorful Fresh Prince style Will Smith use to rock from the same era. I can already think of a few sneakers these would make a perfect match with. Check out the Starks website or hit up your local Starks retailer and demand a pair of these now.

Artist/Designer ST!ZO has been working on a lacelock design and here were have an image of his first set. These are called the ‘Dont Hate’ Lacelocks and they are a limited run currently available for $20 a piece. There will be more designs to come in the future, as we have seen other custom lacelocks on custom sneakers done by ST!ZO but for now this is the first release to the public at a price you cant beat. Check out the AOKAY Official website for more info.

A lot of people have asked me if i knew of any resources of how to laces your sneakers different then the regular old cross over. The first thing that came to mind, or i should say person rather, is Ian. Ian wrote the book on how to lace your sneakers in many ways. The book i speak of by Ian is called Laces and it comes in a very cool setup. On the outside of the book there is an actual pair of laces for you to practice on after reading what Ian shows you. Besides for just the book itself, Ian also has a site which includes over 30+ shoelace designs to get you started on your sneakers. You can pick up this shoelace sneaker book directly from Ians website for the low price of $14.95. Check out the site here.
