Clae's and Keep's

Finally... Commonwealth has Clae's... (http://www.cmonwealth.com)

I have yet to try on a pair - Let alone see anyone up north with these kicks yet - But when I get the chance... It'll be the "Rollins," though I like the "Russell" as well.

I know in Chicago they carry em at LEADERS 1354 (duh, best store ever), and I'm willing to bet at UNTITLED too, but most likely the N. Clark St. one, cause I was just at the one in Evanston and didn't see any... Then again, I wasn't looking for Clae's. (I was looking for Keeps.)

Speaking of, I made a new friend Saturday. I was at a party and my ace's cousin instantly decided she wanted to be my friend cause I was wearing Keeps. Work for me! I mean, I don't remember the girl's name but... hey.

Keep's (http://www.keepcompany.com) are pretty much sneaks specifically for girls. They make apparel and accessories too, though I haven't ventured that far. My fav pair are "The Ramos" models... cause those are the ones I got at UNTITLED! Yay! Anyway, they are usually canvas sneaks, and nice cause they don't have the bulk of a lot of other unisex kicks. Even still, they have high tops, flats, and everything in between.


("The Ramos" model! Mine are black... but the back is diff).

A major pet peeve of mine is girls who wear kicks with skirts. 95% percent of the time the shoes are too clunky for all that, and 3% your feet are too damn long to be doing that. I can safely say that Keep's could and should be worn as the sneak to fit the skirt. (I generally hate skirts, but to each his own... er, "her" own.)
