Shoetopia 2011 kicked off without a hitch this past Saturday. Unlike Sneakercon, which was in a auditorium/theater, Shoetopia took place in a bar setting. The ability to get drinks at any corner was a pro, but the dim setting was a con. Limited visibility makes it a little harder for nice kicks to stand out especially for sellers on foot.
My favorite part of these events are the clothing lines. Low key new designers expressing themselves through cotton tees and premium hoodies covered with there best creations. Shoe collectors are there to sell kicks, the designers are there to sell their concept as well as clothing. Clothing means more when you know what it represents. It feels like I'm wearing an abtract painting on my chest and I'm the art expert there to explain its depth. Shoutout to some of the new designers at Shoetopia this year, Dope Mentality, Currency, Casanova and Fort Noir. Check out the pics below...

We have seen these in a cranberry colorway recently. Although the aforementioned release were appealing, Nike struck gold (or silver) with their ACG Air Max Posite Bakin Boot "Metallic Silver." Nike combines elements from the Air Bakin with the ever popular foamposite shell. No word on when these will release or pricing. We will keep you posted.

Art Whino Says:
"Pixel Pancho was born in Turin in 1984. As a child he found interest in color and form, thanks to his grandfather, an occasional painter. Pixel always has had a passion for art and design and knew that this would be part of his life since the beginning. In 2003, he inscribed at Albertina Academy of Fine Arts School in Turin, after two years he transferred to the Academy of Fine Arts in Valencia where he is to obtain his degree this year. His years in the School of Fine Arts has led him to the world of design, graphics, and above all the graffiti and street-art scene. Pixels studies and his determination for experimenting with with different mediums opposed to the classic formula of the academy made him stand out from the others, as he followed his passion for using spray cans and marker and working on out door surfaces opposed to the classic paper and canvas. Traveling between his hometown of Torino and Valencia Pixel Pancho took every occasion to be noticed on the streets, using different mediums such as tiles, wall painting, sticker/poster art, etc. Like every artist Pixel Pancho has been influenced by many different artists of the past and the present, such as the historic painter Joaquin Sorolla, the surrealist Salvador Dali, the political painter group El Equipo Cronica to the more modern Ron English, San and Takashi Murakami. Traveling to countries such as Paris, Amsterdam, Warsaw, Vienna and many others for graffiti jams and expositions in galleries has made it possible for Pixel Pancho’s style to evolve from the simple Robot character to the more complex compositions that we can see in his work today. Pixel Pancho moved back to Turin in 2010 and has opened his first painting studio where he produces his art works. There is alot to be expected from this young and motivated artist, the work of Pixel Pancho has just begun…"
