It’s Friday, time to take out the trash. What happened to these shoes? Somebody went a little crazy with the sequins. I know that everyone is designing crazy shoes lately, but those shoes at least look good. This shoe looks like someone’s bad attempt with customizing a shoe. It’s not really just the sequins that I have a problem with; it’s how crappy the sequin pattern looks. Read the rest of the story after the break, including more pics.

Vans 31 CA
Having trouble finding a great tennis classic shoe? Well Vans has added one to their growing stable of shoes. The 31 CA, which looks surprising similar to the Nike tennis classic, has just popped up on the web. The shoes are available now in two colors; grey and black, but each shoe has tan leather on the toe and heel; with the tan leather, the grey color is far superior. What do you think of the newest Vans? Check out more detailed pics after the break.

Top 5 Skateboarding Shoes
Let’s just say I am no professional skateboarder. I have dabbled in the sport, back when boards were wider. I tried, 4 years ago, skateboarding again with a more modern board; quickly learning that skateboarding has gotten a whole lot more amazing. Which means I couldn’t compete. Now my only link to skateboarding is shoes and my old decks. You know my back story and how I have no expertise in skateboarding. What I really mean is that these shoes may not be the best shoes for skateboarding, just the best looking shoes that have to do with skateboarding. See the full list after the break.
