The elixir call of sleep, definitely need that 2nite… 2nd day in a row of the commute.. A few hundred kilometres later I’m glad it’s Friday... till it starts again the next day.. So after all the driving didn’t have enough petrol to get to gym or an open post 5pm servo - And I felt like a bit of non unleaded petrol oxygen, so a quick skip down the beach (would prefer the Air Maxim Patta above or standard issue), except my current Air Max Safaris have holes in both the toes and worn out sole.

So after spending the night listening to the audio transistor of Blues upstage faultering Cats, a bit of pre-bed #BurnNotice S3E9 (and Holly Hunter’s quirky rowdy cop meets angel interfacing #SavingGrace) hits the spot. Thx gawd Strickler has been dealt with.

Long Way Back

Aired: Aug/06/2009
Michael is forced to team up with Fiona’s brother in order to save her from a dangerous man from her past.

3 new Supra TK Society, my current kick in Charcoal Patent, are out - The Burgundy is prob my fave and the Midnight Blue/Black is Killer too.

Just when I thought there couldn’t be any more new kicks - 2 of my fave brands - Undefeated + Gourmet have a collab soon to be release via SneakerNews : “Gourmet gussied up some of their truly original models this spring by crafting them from epi leather. The coarse material famous from use in French luggage has become their new favourite thing, as evinced by this latest new silhouette. We don’t know the name of this new sneaker yet, but it’s likely to have a big launch because of the world-class collaborator in tow. The white upper has Undefeated’s unmistakable tally on the outer ankles, adding depth to the design that includes a black sole and tongue with red laces. We’ll keep you updated with more info, including a name and release date.”

From the Sperry Topsider site - the Band of Outsiders collab : They might need some help with the copy, its a gr8 product : “In collaboration with Scott Sternberg from Band of Outsiders, Sperry is offering this limited edition style that gives an edge to its Authentic Original with suede fabrics and laceless styling. Still providing wave-siped, non-marking outsoles your feet will be fashionable on the boardwalks of the islands and the big city streets.”

BAND OF OUTSIDERS - CHUKKA BOOT  : “Again, Band has teamed up with Sperry Top Sider, the company with black belt in boat shoes. Chukka boot meets boat shoe and the color is called cracked Champagne. I would call it grey but hey. All suede, rubber sole and lined with striped cotton. White stitches on the top and the red and yellow laces makes them perfect.” - Unfortunately the yellow laces cost $67 more.. amazing how different the photos look..

SupraTalk on the BlueBlack TK’s : “Terry Kennedy has been turning heads in the Blue Black TK Society colorway for quite a while and today we can bring you a closer look at this sneaker. The first thing you notice when you pick this TK Society up is how soft the leather is and the distinct shine the black and blue leather upper has. Again this TK Society comes with a black and white vulcanized sole and white wax laces. The Blue Black TK Society is easily our most favoured of the upcoming TK Society releases..”

SupraTalk Burgundy are prob my faves of new season TKs: “The Burgundy TK Society consists of an all Burgundy Leather Upper with a black and white vulcanised sole topping this sneaker off. The Burgundy TK Society also comes with white wax laces. No complaints about this sneaker, it adds another mature leather colorway to the Supra lineup.” (YouTube clip on the TK Society Burgundy)

Supra TK Society Black Suede Kicks on SupraTalk : “The Black Suede TK Society has been one of the more anticipated upcoming colorways from Supra, with a lot of Black Croc Skytop fans looking to upgrade. The upper consists entirely of smooth black suede, with the monochrome color scheme continuing into the vulcanized sole. Extra white wax laces are also included in the package.”
