I initially wanted this category to be about random sneaker photos, but I’ve now decided to re-tool that idea and center ‘sneakHer snapshot’ around female celebrities who’ve been spotted in kicks.  The first celeb is Brandy, a singer I have stanned for since her debut in 1994.   She’s a fantastic artist and has a super great name (haha!) and she’s trying to step her sneaker game up, which I respect.  She’s snapped here rocking the ‘Princess’ 30th Anniversary Reebok …

I contemplated doing a “Could It Be (GS)” post on the Lebron 9 P.S. Elite series when information initially hit the web.  Part of me didn’t want to spark up interest in something that could potentially lead to disappointed fans, so I opted not too.  The $250 price tag for the men’s size initially left me believing a grade school size run would never see the light of day, but thankfully, I am wrong! Retailers have begun to receive their …
