Gray and Orange Revere mids

I was reluctant to try these out when I first got them because I thought the orange was kind of weird. It reminded me of a hard hat or something. I got over that quickly though and now I wear them all the time.

Reveres are pretty solid and have a good amount of support for walking, biking and etc. The orange is more versatile than I first thought; I can wear them with a lot of my odd colored shirts.

Skydiver Blue Star Player 75

I'll have to admit that these are not my most comfortable pair of Cons. The color though, so cool! Skydiver blue mono.

Also, the material used is more like that of a jacket. Not the leather, suede or canvas found in most Converse sneakers. The Star Chevron logo is welded on rather than sewn.

You won't catch me with these on my feet too often so if you do, take a picture.

Phaeton Gray/Black ERX300 Hi

I'm a big fan of ERX300s, high or low, to begin with but these are my favorite pair (for now). This means obviously, that I hardly ever wear them. I'm not ready to have beer spilled on them just yet.

It's a very basic color scheme but I love it; I think it looks great. Using leather for the Star Chevron logo underneath the suede of the same color creates a nice effect. I've tried using both white and gray laces but I think that black looks the best.

Careful for the lobster.

Black & Cranberry Weapons Mid

These boys have been getting a lot of play lately. The two colors work perfectly together and can be worn with just about anything.

Match that with the comfort and badassness of Weapons and you're pretty much unstoppable.

Fastbreak!

You might think by all of this that I cannot live without having access to scores of pairs of my sneakers. Not true. I travel as light as humanly possible; this means with (gasp) only the pair of sneakers on my feet.

On my latest trip to NYC I decided on these great Fastbreaks. It was wise as they proved sufficient for all of the inevitable walking. The leather and canvas combo brilliantly offer support and flexibility respectively.

So comfortable.

Black/Black/Runner Yellow ERX300 Hi

I wore these Saturday night for a bike ride from Waltham to Allston. It was cold and these were a pretty solid pair for the ride.

I ended up staying the night, waking the next morning to pouring rain. I sucked it up and rode the bike to North Station to take the commuter back to Waltham (thank god they let you bring bikes). By the time I made it to the station it was hailing.
When I got off the train in Waltham it was snowing.

Needless to say that these got some serious breaking in this past weekend. Pouring rain isn't the best thing for suede. We all have to make some sacrifices sometimes.

If you look closely, you'll be able to pick out the difference between the leather and suede. I really like the touches of yellow. My favorite thing about these though are the yellow soles. I've toyed with the idea of using yellow laces but I'm not so sure. We'll see.
