chillin’ out (air) maxin’ all cool

Guys! Happy Air Max Day! There’s no better way to celebrate than a pair of pink Nikes, paper flowers, and Fresh Prince of Bel Air lyrics (that have been slightly modified). What’s so great about Air Max sneakers, you ask? Well, they make it possible to walk on air. That’s awesome. They’re comfortable as heck. And…

sunless Seattle

Last week I went to Seattle for a couple of days. What a great city! And what a great place for a night stroll, as long as you stay dry and warm. I wandered around Pike Place Market for a bit. Did you know it opened in 1907? That makes it one of the oldest…

I see stars. (and they look a lot like a pair of sneaker wedges)

I’m currently drooling over these Nike items: Metallic Sky Hi Sneaker Wedge, Pro Core Stacked Elastic Sports Bra, & Nike Tech Fleece.

My door is constantly covered with the most odd…

rub-a-dub-dub, the Allegheny River is a giant tub!

Visiting Pittsburgh is always an adventure. I finally made my way to Primanti Bros., where the french fries abound. In Pittsburgh, sandwiches come with the fries on the inside. Originally that was to make lunches easier for workers in the Strip District to eat on the go. It stuck around because it’s delicious. I also got to see the Rubber…

uno, dos, tres años!

Wordpress reminded me this morning that today marks the 3rd year of fortheloveofnike. One thousand and ninety five days ago, I started this blog for fun. After 422 posts and 7,016 of the…

seeing sights n’at

So this is a cool Dark Knight Rises fun fact: the building in the first few photos is where Batman and Bane fought. (That’s me channeling my inner Bane in case you couldn’t tell. Ha!) The following pictures are from the Carnegie Art Museum. Which reminds me, you should watch the History Channel’s Men Who…

The Happy Show.

I fell in love with Chicago the day I moved here. Three years later, and I still think this city’s got it goin’ on. Beautiful summer days and free art shows. You have to check out The Happy Show by Stefan Sagmeister in the Cultural Center. It really gets you thinking. I know the sign at the…
