I want to start this post by saying, I know a certain lady that is gonna lose her mind about this!!!!! And I know a lot of you are gonna be hyped but this lady is gonna be on some next level hyped-ness!! The ladies of Club Zonder Filter made it happen…and it’s about damn time! Josine and Kristel are longtime lovers of L.A. Gears and have designed a limited edition version of “The Stardust”. It will be released in September at the world famous Patta store in Amsterdam and then availalble to other countries soon after. Read what the ladies have to say about it after the jump!

Landokicks has something new for the ladies! Contact him at landokicks@hotmail.com  for ordering details.

After a temporary hiatus from the scene, it seems as though once popular sneaker brand, British Knights, is seamlessly making its way back into fashion.

They currently have an online store where their storied sneakers can be purchased as well as t-shirts that bare the company’s logo.

In addition to the throwback merch, the site boasts a gallery full of vintage ads and ask readers to send in stories of their fondest memories associated with the shoe.

As if  you could forget, the first M.I.S.S. downloadable calendar featured a lace pair of BK hi-tops. If only the new kicks, looked as cool. *sigh.

In case you’ve been living under rock, allow me to make one thing clear:We lurrrvvve sneakers here at M.I.S.S. Crew.

From metallic Nike hi-tops to vintage LA Gears, we’ve always had a weakness for finely crafted and well-designed kicks. And we know we’re not the only people with this problem.

So, we can understand why Vanessa Hudgens would be interested in crafting a song that pays homage to her favorite pair of sneakers. But - oh, my! - what was she thinking when she laid down her tragic vocals on her new single, Sneakernight.

Not only can she not sing (and that’s after all of the fancy production, yall), but the sneakers Vanessa and her video co-horts are wearing are pretty, uh, well, bad.

Land O’Kicks just got some new shoes for the ladies!  All the shoes are 2 Legit 2 Quit and can be ordered over the phone or online.  Check them out . .

More after the jump . . .

Keep Company has updated their online store to include their first hi-top, the Guerra, in an array of stripes and patterns perfect for hot summer days. Here’s how the ladies describe the Guerra model: “Inspired by an outing with writer, world traveler and raconteur Gigi Guerra, we made a shoe as sleek and slick as the lady herself. Hit the streets and stop complaining about ankle support.” Haha. I definitely love me some hi-tops and the Keep selection has a “so fresh and so clean” look to them that translate so well for the long days of summer. Check out the other colors and styles here.

Our favorite sneaker freaks from down unda have devoted their site to the ladies this week on Sneaker Freaker. There are a host of new sneakers reviewed that will be dropping in the coming months plus interviews with Erin Magee from Made Me, Yasi from Cultist, Jee-Nice from Anattitude and Valdmir from Kendo LA along with a host of newsflashes from Hayley Mei, Dame Deco, Hellz Bellz, Roxy Cottontail, George Terrific and much much more. Someone’s listening to the ladies! And, while your on Sneaker Freaker don’t forget to check out the Sneaker Freakette forum.

While tourists won’t be able to buy knock-off Louis Vuitton and Goyard handbags on their summer trips to New York anymore, counterfeiters in Los Angelas are still to be reckoned with — branching out into the underground fake sneaker market.

On Monday, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers in LA  confiscated 18,560 pairs of fake Nike sneakers tightly compacted in two shipping containers that had just arrived from China.

Perpetuating as if the cargo was holding drainage pipeline fittings, the sneakers were soon discovered by Long Beach officers once they began their inspection.

Apparently, the Nike knock-offs were valued at $521,000, which is about 1.5 million dollars less if they would have been real.

The LA Times reports that shoes like this usually are “sold on the internet, in mom-and-pop stores or at swap meets.” But, if we can all be honest, do we really did the negative feedback on the Ebay sellers account to know Marc Jacobs never created $60 Air Force 1s with Nike? And with a green see-through tag hanging from a pair of cheap shoe laces?

Didn’t think so.

Sneaker Freaker magazine just launched a new forum just for the ladies called Sneaker Freakette. This is a great place to meet other ladies who take their kicks seriously and want to be in the know. Maybe you just want to post your collection and see other ladies’ collections. Or, maybe you just want to know what other ladies’ think about upcoming releases. Whatever the topic, Sneaker Freakette is a great place to get a dialog going about shoes, shoes, shoes!

Just got word that Kendo is hosting a sale this weekend in the area behind their store. I’ve been to one of these sales before and they are crazy! You will definitely find some good deals. Happy Shopping!
