The late DJ AM was a huge sneakerhead during his lifetime and a large portion of his unique shoe collection is now on eBay. As expected the prices for his very sought-after shoes are incredibly high, but proceeds from the sale of these shoes go toward the DJ AM Memorial Fund.
If you’re a sneakerhead yourself or if you just want to help out in some way and get something neat in return, you can check out the 100+ shoes over at the DJ AM Memorial Fund eBay account.
Thanks Benny!

David Brownings created these papercraft Nike shoes and is offering to create custom papercraft sneakers in your choice of colors for $45 USD (+s/h). Not a bad gift for a sneakerhead. Thanks Ivy!

DC Shoes commissioned a custom motorbike to be built that used a series of shoes in place of standard dirt bike tires. It took six months to build, but it looks like DC Shoes actually got their wish, and they asked Travis Pastrana to test it out on a dirt track.
Watch the video below to see Travis do a couple of tricks with the shoe-bike and also destroy it by burning the rubber on the back tire. Nice!

Converse Skateboarding is releasing a grey Converse CTS in their holiday 2009 collection and I want a pair. Maybe I’ll get one tomorrow.

Just received a pair of Chrome Kursk shoes in the mail today and I am very well pleased with the result from Chrome’s most recent new product development (which I posted about previously).
The Chrome Kursk shoes are made from the same high-quality and durable canvas that just about every Chrome bag is made from and you get the feeling right away that these sneakers are well equipped to take on the roughness of a place like New York City. And because each shoe is made specifically with bicycle riders in mind, there are some features like the reflective patch on the heel and the tough rubber toe that should make bike riding more enjoyable and safe. The wonderful thing about these shoes is that they are incredibly rugged without adding much bulk (which is often quite annoying when you’re switching shoes regularly and having to adjust toe clips to a different shoe shape/width/or height. The Kursk shoes should fit just nicely into your toe clips.
In addition, I think it was a very nice design choice for Chrome to go with metal aglets at the end of the shoelaces. They add a small but important aesthetic feature that speaks of the level of detail put into each shoe. For $70, the Kursk is a comfy deal — both for your wallet and for your feet.
No complaints here so this product gets the Doobybrain.com seal of approval. Check out some images of the shoe below.
