NBA Shoes 1: Dirk Nowitzki

May 18, 2011 //

Dirk is on fire these days tearing up the NBA playoffs. The 7ft German has simply bean unstoppable lately, just ask any Lakers fan. Some might suggest this is due to the fact he is 7ft tall and can shoot over pretty much anyone not named Dwight Howard. You know you are good, not when you are making over $10 million, but when people are talking about what kind of shoe you wear. So the question at hand is what kind of shoe does Dirk wear. After doing a little digging I found that Dirk would wear the Nike Air Max Spot Up during the 07 season.

Happy Earth Day!

April 22, 2011 //

So it’s earth day, I’m not sure how people celebrate earth day. Are you suppose to go for a hike? Bake a cake and sing happy earth day? Or maybe take some time to think about this great planet we live on. I was thinking today and realized that if we can make a some simple changes to our normal way of life, the sum of those small changes will make a big impact. One thing we do is all wear shoes. So why not purchase and wear shoes that have zero to minimal impact on the earth. That’s why I love Simple Shoes and write about them way to much. I like a company with a conscience and a playful attitude. I also know they have Simple Shoes Free Shipping Coupon at Oopon for Mothers Day. (or you could call it mother earth day)

But, I figure the feet is a good place to start. Game on!

Now watch this. It’s awesome!!! Seriously, do yourself a favor and watch it.

Men’s CARport from Simple Shoes

April 11, 2011 //

I really really want to get a pair of shoes from Simple Shoes. My current pair of new balance, which are now very old balance shoes are super worn out. I can only apply so much glue to a shoe before it’s just better to move on. Anyway, I was browsing the simple shoe website and I really liked the Men’s CARport shoes. It was simple and got really good reviews.

Here is the description of the shoe from the Simple Shoe website:

Men’s CARport – Elastic slip-on sneaker with hemp and certified organic cotton blend uppers
Vegan shoe! No animal products or even animal byproducts
Recycled PET elastic laces. Best slip-on shoe ever…
Certified organic cotton lining and footbed
The “pedbed” (the cushiony and supportive stuff at the bottom of the shoe) is made of EVA with BIO-D to make it biodegradable and latex foam for comfort
Partially recycled shoe – the bottom of this shoe is made from a recycled car tire, with vulcanized rubber sidewalls
The foot form inserts are made of post consumer recycled paper
Shoebox made of post-consumer recycled paper, soy based printing ink, natural latex and starch based glue

I might just put in my order for a pair of these bad boys. Oh, and there is a 10% off Simple Shoes Coupon at Oopon if you want to save a little extra =)

The Self Sustaining Shoe

April 6, 2011 //

I hear a lot of people taking about a carbon footprint. What if could buy a shoe that leaves the tiniest carbon footprint possible. Wouldn’t that would be sweet! Well I did some internet digging and stumbled across this really cool shoe company called simple shoes.

Here is a little bit about them taken from their about us page:

With all the over-built, over-hyped products out there, it’s pretty hard to ﬁnd sustainable shoes that you can live with. So we started Simple, your stereotypical, anti-stereotype brand offering good shoes and a big dose of reality.

About a gazillion pairs later… give or take a few… we’ve managed to learn a few things. Well, actually a lot of things. And none more important than this: HOW we make our shoes is just as important as WHY we make them. That means finding more sustainable ways of doing business so we can make a gazillion more.

Which pretty much is where we are today… at the crossroads of here and now, aware of our responsibility to the planet while trying to pay the bills. The nice little shoe company getting in touch with its inner hippie.

I’m pretty sure my next pair of shoes will be simple. I like their message, and I like their shoes. So when you get a chance, grab a cool one and browse the simple shoes website. Even if you are not buying shoes it’s pretty fun to see what they have and read their descriptions. Also, if you want so save some money hit up our friends at Oopon for for simple shoes coupons.

Hello World. Hello Shoes

January 20, 2011 //

So this is my big hello world moment. My leap into the land of all things shoe-tacular. I’m excited. I’m already inventing new words (see shoe-tacular). But, I’ve been wearing shoe for most my life, so I figure I should have some insight on the subject.

Anyway. I’m going to be writing about shoes. This could be a total disaster or more beautiful then this. I’m guessing we will land somewhere in the middle. So hello world. Hello shoes.

Hello world!
