Bodega x Saucony Collabo Kicks = A Nice Reminder That There's More To Sneaker Collecting Than Just Nike.


"Head on over to Bodega’s newly launched site to check out two colorways of the recent collaboration with Saucony. Although the white colorway is sold out, they still got a decent size run of the other two colorways. You can pick them up for $125 each"

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: People occasionally confuse my palpable disdain for retro-sexuals as grumpy gutter "hate", but, anybody who knows me knows that A) Chris Live AKA Shaker was born, by mandate of GOD, without the petty "hate" gene as a component of my DNA structure and that B) I L.O.V.E. history. Now, because I am physically unable to "hate", my contempt for these day-glo douche bags is directly attributable to the fact that they lazily cherry pick only the most obvious surface representations of vintage Hip Hop and don't have the integrity or the intellectual fortitude to delve deeper into our rich collective history and culture.

Case In Point: Yes, Adidas, Puma and the heavyweight champion of sneakers Nike are the best of the breed when it comes to kicks, but there were a few other brands out there that made some models that caught the eye of the flyest kids. Saucony was 1 of those brands. Sure, some of their lesser models made it to the bargain bin @ V.I.M. (once, "The Greatest Jeans and Sneaker Store In America") alongside perennial losers like Etonic and Voit, but Saucony dropped some dandies as well. With that said, these Bodega x Saucony collabos are right up my exclusive alley. I have never wanted to look like a corny carbon copy of anybody else and that's what Livestyle is all about.

While we're on the subject, I need to see alot more appreciation for K-Swiss kicks and cream Filas. Yeah, super shout out to blog follower/style leader Alex Aleika ... he definitely knows what time it is! Good shit.
