MAILBAG (non art edition )

[highbrow]

I figured maybe a mailbag for non art work, hopefully it will be somewhere people can post items they get in the mail to give us a good laugh or what not. I am going to start with a gift I got from a friend who works for W+K ( google it they do nike ads, i'm a mac ad, etc. ) so it is art related but not really art, did I mention I use to own over 1000 pairs of deadstock sneakers, well here is something to help that ocd continue.








Sorry so pic heavy ( hung resize if need be ) happy to say however this is the only pair mailed to anyone in GA,FL,TENN pretty much the entire south east

That is awesome. I'm not really into shoes but those are really cool.

A little backround on them
The upcoming full-length animated film, Coraline, were made possible by hundreds of talented people and the imagination of Neil Gaiman. Some of those creative minds also had a hand in creating the Coraline Dunk above. Taking the handcrafted style of the film as inspiration, this special edition features a unique hand sewn black visible seam on the upper. The director Henry Selick (also the director of The Nightmare before Christmas), designed the oversize buttons found on only 100 pairs, and fifty boxes contain actual props from the movie. This pair comes with a cat and mouse lace locks and matching tails and a pair of cotton candy from the movie. Also a nice detail is the glow in the dark outsole completing the overall nice package

it really is. it isn't typically my style but it's got a vintage feel that i love :heart:

Fantastic, this is so much fun, clown shoes why

[marcusslo]

sweet kicks highbrow

all of you have got some fun stuff coming thru the mail!

[devours]

Thanks for the kind comments. I usually do not buy statement jewelery, but that piece looks elegant with a vintage feel and is so beautifully made. However I have never had the pleasure of wearing or owning clown shoes. I need to know the story behind those Charity, but please don't tell me you have size 18 feet in real life.

This is one of those rare times in life where FORM and FUNCTION came in equal measure! Not only is it a beautiful design (Luca Trazzi) but I can pull a near perfect shot of espresso every time with this machine - blindfolded!

I really wanted to share this with you guys. This arrived in the mail this week and I have been so excited. This particular model - Tag Heuer 6000 has been discontinued for years, and certainly considered vintage within their product range. Usually retails for around $3k, I have been hunting this spectacular GREY color for years. I finally managed to buy a new one for myself from overseas and so I am stoked! I had owned a NAVY color for a while, but the rarer GREY was always eluding me.

So this weekend, I feel pretty confident I am going to discover a unicorn somewhere...and I will post that too when I do.
