| Where To Find Lola |
1. Nike Spirit II The latest in Nike's cheerleading line, available in inoffensive white and "zen grey," which begs the question: If a cheerleader falls in the forest, will anybody hear? Unsarcastically cool are the 10 interchangeable colour inserts to customize your kicks. Go team! $55US (State side only) 2. Aqua Sock Yes, it's a sneaker, and an amphibious one to boot. Extra-tight elastic laces will keep these nylon sneaks on in the roughest of Ontario Place pool waves. Deep blue with silver/yellow accents, and a super-cool transparent blue sole. Sporty! $14.99 at all Payless Shoes stores 3. Nike Zealot Simple and classic, this is the closest one gets to the platonic ideal of sneakers. Beige or black with a retro zig-zag (Nike calls it "herringbone") sole. $39.95 4. Nike Air Flightposite More H- bomb than footwear, this is an ergonomic, hypersonic, chronic, bionic, gin-and-tonic mamma jamma. Made of some kind of futuristic moulded polysynthetic alloy, it's the least shoe-like sneaker I've ever seen. Available in silver-black and chrome green, and fully Y2K compliant. $249.95 Whoosh 5. Powerpuff Girls Sneakers If only I could fit into these. Transparent lavender soles with little nubblies, hologram accents, even a handy velcro quick-on/quick-off tab for kids on the go. Beats the shit out of anything Mariko Mori ever made. $24.99 at Payless Shoes everywhere 6. Blue's Clues Sneakers Kids' sneakers kick ass. The Blue's Clues shoes feature a paw-print sole so you can pretend you're Blue himself, as well as "left" and "right" indicators printed on the insole. Hey, I could use that! $26.99 at Payless Shoes 7. Nike Air Kukini Tired of pesky laces? Velcro got you down? Well, with its powerful elastic foot web (read: stretchy thing) the Kukini is for you. On top of that, the green ones have elastic that looks just like alien snot. $139.95 8. Nike Air Metal Max IV Just like the Air Metal Max III but one better. Shiny cool metal logos are all over this shoe, proving once again that wearing a lot of metal on your feet makes you run faster. $199.99 9. Lower Eastside I took these handsome black suede-y numbers home with me and two days later they started falling apart. I ultimately blame myself since I live on the south side of Chicago, not the east. From now on I promise to keep it real. $31.99 (Payless) 10. Cross Trekkers Genuine vinyl sneaks with a non-skid, non-marking sole, perfect for gym class. Special features include boring all-white design and a clear plastic blob on the side you can pretend is full of air. $39.99 (Payless) Suggested accessories: Power Rangers Galaxy Knapsack, $11.99; Orange Nike trainer T-shirt, $67.50; Payless Sneaker Laces, $2.99; Nike Golf Clubs, $1600.
