Greedy Genius - Dyno

The Dyno is Greedy Genius' latest model that will be debuting in Spring '10. It clearly draws inspiration from a few places, but in the end is definitely its own shoe...






"For the first launch, Dyno will be exclusive to Europe only. It features a nicely padded tongue, royal blue canvas, full grain leather, white eyelits and a slight mix of metallic patent leather trim."

I'm a day one Greedy Genius fan, and personally they continue to impress. Although I reaaallllly wish that the tongue wasn't leather, and maybe could do without the padded collar. But all in all, a very nice looking shoe and I think that the blue is a nice color to debut it in.

Peep Below.

Greedy Genius Cool Breeze Paulo

More Info:HSB

Me: I’m in there. All Day. Anywhere
Jeff: I'm smashing and I'm a let niggas know I'm smashing!
Sewz: Yeah, I'd rock 'em with some black jeans and a simple logo shirt. Just to avoid "doing too much."
Coburn: No way would I ever cop. Gross.
Griddy: …not my cup of tea. Not Coppin.

3C v 2N

Supra Cruzier Low Grapes Colorway

More Info:Ctothejl

Jeff: I'm not smashin'. They're too much like the 5's. I'm not tryna be on my Syracuse shit. Damn Supras, you finally let me down.
Me: HELL YEAH! I don’t even care that they look like 5s. I’m smahsin’ these. Hard. I’m madd the toes look like Dunks tho.
Joel: Dope sneaker. I rock purple and that green is tough. I skate but never in white sneakers so these are strictly for getting fly, no shredding in these.
Steve-O: I like the color way for these but I hate low top sneakers, so I probably wouldn't buy these.
Jenny B: Definitely no, they look kinda grandma-ish

3C v 2N

Gourmet Holiday 2008 Footwear

More Info:HSB

Jeff: I'm not smashing and I'm gonna be mad @ my manz if he smashed.
Me: Uuuuh, I’m doin it. But only on some grown and sexy vibe. You know, like pea coats and shit.
Steve-O: I like these. They are nice and clean. And they look better than the Jordan 10's.
Pierre: not even close to my style. No cop
Noelle & Ron’nise: these are wacc...they look like somethin' my grandpa would wear. Ron'nise said they look like playboys...I don’t know if that’s the name of the shoe, but she said that’s what her father calls 'em.

2C v 3N

Orchard Street x Reebox Re-up Lux

More Info:HSB

Me: I’m Good. These aren’t for me. But I respect the originality.
Jeff: I’m not smashing, too much...but nothing really significant going on.
Coburn: Good use of color ways and interesting laces. A dope pair of sneakers. Coppin.
Griddy: These look kinda hot. I’d consider them.
Steve-O: These are plain wack.... Next!

1C v 3N v a Shakey Choice

Louis Vuitton x Stephen Sprouse

More Info: SwaggerDap

Jeff: I might smash just to see what they working with, but it’s either gonna be a big L or I’m making History. High risk.
Me: No Way. Goodnight
Coburn: Too wild and eye catching I can only imagine the price tag. Not copping.
Pierre: Looks like clownwear. No cop
Sewz: These make me wanna barf.
Joel: I don’t even want my chick to rock these. Honestly names don’t mean anything to me. It’s all about design. These look annoying to put on, take off and walk in. If they are for girls I can dig it on some photo shoot moves type stuff, but wearing them is another thing...
Steve-O: These are dope. I'm not sure of whether I would really wear them. But they are def. something dope to have in the stash.
Griddy: These are different. Some Kanye / Pharrell shit. Not for me though. No Cop.
Jenny B: By far my Favorite!! And they’re Louis Vuitton, that’s so hot. In loveeee.
Noelle & Ron’nise: these are out of control...they're horrible. Ron'nise said they leave a bad taste in her mouth. The colors don’t go together everything is out of sync - and to her that’s the ugliest sneaker. There is too much goin' on and it doesn't all go together.

..….. And she said that they're not just hi tops...they're super hi tops (lmao)...and she doesn’t know where the metallic gold strap are comin' from and there are too many of them...maybe if they were low cut they would look better

Greedy Genius - Year of the Rat

Greedy Genius is a little late with this Cool Breeze year of the rat model, but it came out tough, so I guess it's ok.






After I missed out on the Morks and the Ato Matsumotos I'm still dying for a solid red shoe. These might be the ones, especially since Cool Breezes are so comfortable.
The gold accents and stiching on the smooth red leather really make this shoe pop.

Set to release this month to limited Greedy Genius accounts.

Greedy Genius Apache

It seems like Greedy Genius blew up quick, with their bright colors and great use of 3m, and then once they got that huge distribution and humbled their designs they sort of fell from the lime light. But now they are comming out with the new "Apache" model.

well if this is a sign of things to come then i think they're back on the come up.



with the early 90's look and obnoxious tounge the Apache is definitely lookin nice to me.... especially if we see it in some more colorways

Supra! Welcome to the Sneaker Game!

In recent years we have seen sneaker companies like Greedy Genius and Cr8tive Recreation that have been around for a minute finally get the recognition that they deserve for their innovating design in a market that sees more than its fair share of "borrowing" ideas.

well after the wild success of the "14k" gold skytops released in late '07, it seems that this year the sneaker company to take that role may just be Supra

pictured above is the Supra NS Trinity that will make its debut in the spring and cost just over $210. With this model they are making the brave move of stepping into the "high end" shoe market (which i personally consider any premium shoe over $200 retail) which is an especially suprising move to see from a skate company.

but they will also keep comming out with fresh skate shoes with more of the street style as seen here with the Skytop Comakazi, which is dropping sometime this week.

so keep a look out for Supra this year. i have a feeling they're gunna turn some heads.
