Need For Speed | Adidas Pure Boost ZG Prime
Light, fast and stylish! Everything that a male running enthusiast could ask for and lots more. That's the all new Adidas Pure Boost ZG Prime men's running shoe for you. Super light running footwear, that improves performance, helping you run fast with great energy. Weighing just 8.7 ounces, the Adidas Pure Boost ZG Prime was recently launched in the country, with a special run across South Mumbai. The runners included a mix of professional pacers, members of the Adidas Wolf Pack and select running enthusiasts (including Team Dancebee), who took the stretch from Chowpatty to Gateway of India by storm.
In a vast market filled with different types of shoes dedicated to running, the Adidas Pure Boost ZG Prime is a breakthrough innovation. The upper is designed with adidas Primeknit, which is carefully engineered to naturally expand with your foot while you run, in order to give the runner a more comfortable fit and help reduce irritation. The stretch web inspired outsole flexes and perfectly adapts to your stride, ensuring a smoother run. The midsole has a lightweight cushioning, while the trademark Boost by Adidas ensures that every step ahead is charged with unlimited supply of energy, which results in a better pace.
We tried the Adidas Pure Boost ZG Prime in two trials - one during the South Mumbai run at the launch and later, during a few sessions at the gym. This gave us an idea of how the pair of shoes work in both the natural and artificial environment. Needless to say, this super light yet amazingly efficient pair helped our team member's pace and ensured the run was a smooth affair. The fit was unbelievably comfortable, and one of the best when compared to some other new shoes in the same niche / price range. The pace increased at every subsequent outdoor run and we were extremely happy with the results. Ditto in the gym, where our cardio workouts on the treadmill reached an all new level with these beauties. Plus, the fact that they look stylish is an added bonus! Our only issue? We hope Adidas launches these running beasts in other colours as well (The blue pair available in the US market looks stunning!)
So far, our team member's experience with the Adidas Pure Boost ZG has been a terrific one. If you are looking for a pair that can help better your pace, provide great comfort and look stylish - all at the same time, then look no further. The price you pay for the benefits in return certainly makes the Adidas Pure Boost ZG Prime a true winner.

The Converse Chronicles
Everybody loves a pair of funky and stylish Converse sneakers. Almost everyone, be it a kid, college student or working professional, has used a pair of Converse for years (even till the time it gets completely worn out. Sentiments, you know). For a brand that started off as a rubber shoe company in 1908 and eventually turned to making sneakers, Converse has certainly come a long way and has a very special place in the heart of every sneaker head. It was in 1920 that the All Star range came into existence, and since then, there was no looking back. Their philosophy of making a pair of Converse sneaker an integral part of an individual's life is both unique and special. After all, we all love a good pair of shoes, don't we? You can play, live and run around the world in them. And when you get them customised, they become a part of you. Because, they are made by you.

The ‘Made By You’ campaign is a first of its kind, that will allow Converse loyalists to interact with the brand in a big way. The Chuck Taylor All Star series proves that the Chuck is not just a sneaker, but an idea. Every new pair carries a powerful message. Your Converse sneakers becomes a blank canvas that is waiting to be filled. The customised pair becomes unique celebration of your unique and true personality.
Taking the popular legacy forward and to celebrate the ‘Made By You’ story, Converse Inc will be anchoring the 1st ‘Made By You’ exhibition in Mumbai and it's happening at Infiniti Mall, Malad. The exhibition urges Converse fans and true sneaker heads to get their oldest pair of Converse (that best defines them) to the exhibit and become a part of the ‘Made By You’ international story. In addition, you also get your own ‘Made By You’ portrait. But the most exciting part of the campaign has to be the customisation process! The campaign would involve the brand offering its consumers an exclusive opportunity to add their unique personality to a pair of Converse sneakers, extending the experience of 'Made By You'. A graffiti artist will assist guests in customising their pair of old sneakers or a newly purchased sneaker, using a wide variety of stencils and spray paints, creating a sneaker which will be unique to them and will carry forward the campaign of 'Made By You'.
That's not all! There are several celebrities who also swear by their pair of Converse and some of them will be sharing stories of their favourite pair at the do. Some of the prominent Indian faces include VJ Rannvijay Singha, singer Anushka Manchanda, who will be present at the exhibition.
So come, be a part of this fun and memorable Converse 'Made By You' celebration and share your sneaker loving story with us, all day at the Infiniti Mall (Malad) on October 18 (tomorrow). PS: If you are dropping in anytime around 3 - 4 pm, Team Dancebee and I will be around to indulge in some sneaker customisation. Do drop by, join the fun and say Hello. Enjoy the sneakerlicious weekend!

The Sneaker Lust List | Top 5 Sneakers for SS 2015
What’s a shoe fanatic without a brilliant collection of sneakers? Everyone loves shopping for footwear and apart from the usual pumps, stilettos, brogues among others, we all love spending a good amount from our savings account on a fancy pair of kicks that can spruce up any outfit. This season, the international market is flooded with some stylish and versatile sneakers that we can’t stop eyeing. Pair it with distressed denims and graphic tee or add some funk to by wearing it with a dress, a cool pair of sneakers can never go wrong. While hunting for some footwear (and adding some to our wish list), we decided to compile a list of the best sneakers, that certainly needs to make its way into our wardrobes.
Nike Dunk Sky Hi
C’mon! Admit it. We all love the Nike Dunk Sky Hi collection. Every season, Nike surprises us with new colors and fabrics, making it difficult to choose just one favorite. If the Red or Blue dunks left you wanting for more, you will be delighted to see the new Coral dunks, or even the white, blue and purple ones. Oh! And did we tell you, we are totally lusting over the brand new leather dunk-sky hi? We saw them at the recently held Nike Press Preview and well, we couldn't have asked for a better eye candy!
Vans Brigata
A happy pair of canvas sneakers is perfect to add a vintage or school girl charm to your outfit. We came across the new Vans classic range called Brigata, which takes inspiration from nautical hues and elements. The range is divided into three types - Vans Brigata, C&C Brigata and the C&L Brigata - and couldn’t stop going gaga over it. If the basics like white, grey or black are your thing, then opt for a simple pair from the Brigata collection. Or if the nautical inspired hues are your thing, then go for the Brigata C&C range. If want to add a funky touch, go for the C&L range, which includes tonal laces and contrast liners. Who said canvas sneakers had to be boring white, eh?
Converse Cons Weapon Invader
Bring out the military diva in you and show off your attitude. Wear these cool Converse Weapon Invaders when you are all set to steal the show and invade the streets. Planning to head out in the night in these beauties? Well, get ready to shine, as the Weapon Invader has a glow in the dark outsole. The gold detailing provides the perfect finish to this strong and stunning pair.
Puma x Solange Wild Wonder Sneaker
Fun burst of colors and tons of metallic fun! Am I talking about a party? Nope! But one look at the beautiful Puma x Solange Wild Wonder collection sneaker and you can’t help but get your party mode one. Although this collection was launched last year, we continue our obsession with these babies. The fun silhouettes, textures, unique designs and the use of mesh underlays (perfect for summer) make this one a winner! Oh, and those graphic mid soles are the bomb.
And last but not the least! Here’s presenting the super lust worthy pair of sneakers this year.
Marc Jacobs fringed low-top sneakers
This stunning fringed slide-on pair is currently topping almost every shoe wish list. What’s not to like here? One look at that quilted detailing at the heel or the sophisticated fringe, and you will know what I am talking about. Since fringes is a much loved trend this season, this skate-inspired sneaker is definitely a must have if you can afford to splurge.

Top Footwear Brands | Spring/Summer 2015
“Give a woman the right pair of shoes, and she can conquer the world” – one quote that every girl can relate to. We have all had those days when we enter a mall or log on to our favorite online shopping site, only to fill our bags (or cart, if online) with tons of shoes. Sneakers, wedges, platform heels, boots, loafers, moccasins, and pumps among others, there is so much out there for shoe fanatics. C’mon, who wouldn’t love seeing a pair each of these divine beauties in their wardrobe? While there are a variety of brands that stock up on footwear, there are some that leave us wide eyed with their stunning collections. For those who are on the lookout for a brand new pair this season, we have got together a list of footwear brands in India that we can't stop loving (in no particular order).
Nike
All the fellow sneakerheads in the house will agree that we can never get enough of the vast variety that Nike offers us, be it for training, running or just for everyday swag. Nike is one brand that keeps experimenting with shoe technology. After falling in love with the Dunk Sky-Hi and Air Max 2015, we have now got our eyes on the brand new Nike Roshe Flyknit, which was launched on March 5. These shoes are all set to take comfort to another level.
Charles & Keith
One look at some of their yummy footwear and we challenge you to leave without buying a pair. On a personal note, I have always been a fan of their ankle strap sandals and platform heels in classic hues like white and nude. Their latest collection includes some stunning flat sandals with gold detail, colorful wedges and loafers in fun prints that can spruce up any outfit.
Steve Madden
When the heart wants to splurge, a pair of Steve Madden is what it needs. We all love their sexy peep toes and platform heels, don’t we? Especially those that add just the right amount of bling to your party outfit. And some of their new metallic slip ons look gorgeous.
Vans
Love pairing your dresses or that favorite sweatshirt with a funky pair of slip ons? Or are high top sneakers totally your thing? Then Vans is sure to steal your heart. They have got some really interesting pairs in different colors, patterns and silhouettes. Wanna get creative? Then customize your shoes and show the world your own quirky art. Creativity meets style. This is fun!
Metro
When it comes to footwear, Metro is one brand that caters to consumers from all walks of life. Right from affordable sandals for everyday use to studded heels for an evening affair, they have got everything under one roof. Metro is well known for their variety that includes all kinds of styles, right from casual flats to studded wedges and even Kolhapuris. Metro is also frequented by those who look for comfort over style.
Adidas Originals
These guys are making us fall in love with their street style vibe, one collection after another. The face of sneakers is fast changing, with constant evolution and experiments, and Adidas Originals is nailing it big time in that department. This season, we can’t stop loving their collaborations with Rita Ora, Kanye West and of course, we are looking forward to the much anticipated ‘Superstar’ collaboration with American music artist Pharell Williams.
Got a favorite footwear brand that you swear by? Let us know on Twitter - @priyaadivarekar and we shall collect the top tweets to check which brand stands out as the most loved.
