Quoting SneakerFreaker, it is truly a "Minimalist Masterpiece", a definite JUANT. No doubt!

What I like about the overall concept is the modernness of it. It might not be a classic silhouette that I usually look for but in an Industrial Designer's point of view, the design is awesome! Yeah, it might be patterned from the Y-3 Qasa, so what?!

I also have a few dislikes about the Tubular - the leather parts at the upper and heel counter. From a far, I'm sorry to say this but it looks off. If only they had done it like the toe box design print, this would have been more awesome! Also, I think the tongue is a little too high. Don't get mad at me, this is just what I think, ok? Who am I to judge anyway. I still love the Tubular!

The Tubular is coming real soon and will be made available worldwide! According to theshoegame.com, it's gonna be sold at $110. I need to see it up close before I make a purchase. I'm still in love with my SL Loop anyway.

Check out SneakerFreaker's interview with the man behind the adidas Tubular, Nic Galway here. He's my new design hero, by the way.

Umm... Why, Nike... Why? Why release my Sneaker Lust, my ULTIMATE JUANT in women's sizes only? Why is it only available at Suppa in GERMANY?! Talk about torture!!!

Ugh... Just look at the beauty of its simplicity. There may be a lot of awesome sneakers out there but this one is at the top of my list. To be honest, I can be happy with just this one (but with a lifetime supply HA!). I don't care about other sneakers, anymore. I want you Cortez!!! 

Restock... Please.

If you love the Cortez and have the same cravings as I do, check out Suppa, here.

If you could have your own shoe, your official shoe, your signature shoe, what would it be?

Mine will definitely be the Cortez. I have been juanting this ever since! (Thanks to Proline Sports Center in Rockwell Powerplant, I was able to find a pair!) This is my ultimate JUANT! Nike, if you happen to come across this blog, please please please please please bring back the Cortez! PLEASE RESTOCK!!!

What I really like about the Cortez is the classic silhouette. It's so simple but it just speaks to me. I love it! You can never go wrong with this pair. Just pop on your favorite shirt and jeans and let the shoes do the talking!

I didn't know my office shoes looked like a dolphin.

It's been awhile since my last post because I haven't found anything interesting to talk about. There wasn't a JUANT! What?! 

Then this happened yesterday. Pfft. But with this happening to me early in the morning, I was able to come up with my own 10 commandments for buying shoes. It may apply to you or not but I will certainly follow these rules from now on!

10 commandments for Buying Shoes

1. Thou shall not buy cheap ass shoes, you'll regret it (photo above). Instead of saving, you're wasting your money.

2. Thou shall sleep on a desired pair. When you wake up and still want it and can't get your mind off of it, do it.

3. Thou shall not covet thy neighbors shoes, find your own pair and make it yours. But it never hurts to like their photos! Make them feel good.

4. Thou shall keep shoes clean, it reflects your personality. Take care of them, you'll never know when is the next "GO" signal!

5. Thou shall not spend on stupid expensive ones, you can buy a lot with that amount and

you'll be much happier. Unless you're rich then go right ahead!

6. Thou shall invest on quality, and not the name. There are far more affordable shoes with great quality. The name comes second.

7. Thou shall make your partner know about the shoes you want, if they recognize it and like it too, isn't it sexy? Am I correct or am I right?

8. Thou shall purchase the right size for you, sales people may have opinions but you should know what you need.

9. Thou shall know what you want and don't go with the hype. Don't buy it just because it's a new drop and everybody wants it, you'll end up looking like everybody else. AND AND AND you'll just be disappointed if it's out of stock in a matter of minutes.

10. Thou shall thank the person/people who bought you shoes. They love you that much.
