Alife’s Chuck Toe Sneaker (Pearl)

Alife makes a damned fine shoe. Not only do their offerings (at least the more minimal styles) appeal to each and every one of my aesthetic sensibilities, but after being a proud owner of two pairs, I can also say they’re a durable and reliable wear as well. Ahead of the warmer weather, I was looking for a suitable addition to my kick collection, and what do you know: Alife’s Chuck Toe Sneaker fit the bill on multiple levels.

Besides being relatively inexpensive ($85.00), especially after considering the shoe’s quality and brand status, the Chuck’s pearl finish is the perfect look for both brunch in Park Slope and beach soirees. Pick up a pair and have the luxury of dressing up or down for a number of different occasions.

Romika 2010 Pirate and Korsar

German accessories brand Romika have come out with a project aptly dubbed the Tennis Ball Pack. We’ve seen similar packs from Nike, Reebok, and various other shoe brands over the past few summers and now Romika is trying their hand at the look. The two-shoe pack includes the low-cut Pirate and the chukka-inspired Korsar. The pack features two color ways, green and yellow. A vulcanized sole and matching laces completes the shoes. While certainly brighter than we normally prefer, these are high-quality shoes that will definitely turn some heads.

Unfortunately, these are not available stateside quite yet and there’s been no word when that day might be. However, you can pick some up from Japanese online retailer Flauge. Check out a full look at the Tennis Ball Pack after the jump. [High Snobiety] Continue reading →

App Magnets by The Jailbreak Collective

These just released App Magnets from Brooklyn-based Product Art company Jailbreak Collective are, in our humble opinions, the coolest magnets ever. Here’s the schpeel from Jailbreak:

“In order to bring the magic of the iPhone into the third dimension, we asked an artist to reach into the iPhone home screen and literally pluck out the apps. Then we added a little magnetism. And best of all, we mass produced them so now you too can own your very own set of 3-D App Magnets!”

At $12.99, the set of 18 epoxy magnets–packaged in a large cardboard iPhone replica–includes classic icons like Safari, YouTube, Mail and Maps. In an intelligent let’s-not-get-sued maneuver, the company made each icon a little bit different from Apple’s original versions. Act quick if these are up your alley as Jailbreak says they’ve nearly sold out of their first run. [Gizmodo]
