Kid Sister Shockhound.com Interview

Generic Surplus!!

Generic Surplus is a spin off brand of The Generic Man shoe collection established in 2006 in NYC. The brands offer simple but fashionable kicks at an affordable price.

Generic surplus shoes are readily available here but The Generic Man collection is only available in select boutiques in NYC and LA.

"The generic man doesn’t need branding and logos to make him feel confident or stylish.
He understands the significance of quality construction and clean, simple, refined lines.
The generic man is confident enough in himself to accept simplicity." -thegenericman.com
couldn't have said it better myself.

Creative Recs aren't going anywhere.

My obsession with Creative Recreations came a bit late in the game but they are still some of the sickest kicks around and some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. I'm Loving the two strap Dicocos available on urbanoutfitters.com (Pictured Below) : D The Cesarios (one strap) are still awesome but I'm seeing a lot of shoes with multiple Velcro straps coming into play for fall 09. I mean check out the sick Reebok Classic remixes I posted the other day. Multi colored Velcro straps?!?! Who doesn't want those?! I don't care if they are girls' shoes! haha.

These can be pricey for some people ranging from about $95 to $130. I will be continuing my shoe obsession for the next couple posts for KICK WEEK highlighting much more affordable/ fashionable kicks. Stay tuned ; )
