SPARC your sneakers customizing event RECAP - Roxtoberfest

I AM BACK!!! It's been a while, yes, however I have been busy with orders and events like the one i am blogging about today. This past weekend myself and Pinkeye were invited up to Boston to participate in Mass Art's customizing event for Roxtoberfest at DS4SI (Design Studio 4 Social Intervention) along with other great Boston artists and people from Boston stopping in to see the studio! We were given our choice of either a pair of crispy white canvas Chucks, or the newest vinyl toy, STANCE, a blank sneaker canvas! Most of us chose the Chucks, and the coordinator of the event asked that the pair I customized be done for her granddaughter, which was such an honor!

Pinkeye's rendition of Charlie Brown's Great Pumpkin episode just in time for Halloween, and my       design for Mass Art's Euka Holmes' granddaughter, Song.

Boston artists, Logan, Aziza, and Jesse along with 2 other artists enjoying sneaker artistry together!

FSF's own Lori even participated, designing a pair for a friend's daughter!

Reebok graphic designer Shaona came with a pair of exclusive EA7's(see MORE PICS) on ready to have fun and paint!

To keep our motivation going, Public Kitchens provided us with some very tasty vegan food including their infamous jalapeno cornbread!

There weren't as many guests as expected, but it was great to just paint with friends! Check out MORE PICS!!!

Product Review!!! KASHI KICKS

My girl Lori from Female Sneaker Fiend trusted my sneaker sense when asked by Alex from Kashi Kicks for a product review. After checking out their site http://kashikicks.com and speaking to Alex, I received a package with 2 pairs! The women's model PIANO and the fella's model BBOY Sneaker Factory...both in my size!! Thanks Alex!! I myself don't wear red too much, however I will be shopping for something to go with the BBOY's!! I don't favor pantent leather too much either, however the intricate woven design in the toebox and on the mid panels is cool! The PIANO model is a great concept of creativity with the piano key midsole, lace, and glitter...just a bit too much for me. I do love the fuzzy inside of the sneaker! Had they created a solid panel I would have been all for it! When I was at the Hip Hop Cultural Center in Harlem on Saturday for the Women in Hip Hop art segment, I brought both pairs along to display and the ladies seemed to gravitate to the PIANO model so there are fans ready to add them to their collection!! Check out their site to see more styles!
