I’m glad to hear that one of my favorite charities is getting help from “footwear friends”. Beginning May 27 and running through June 10, pediped™ Footwear will host a Purchases with Purpose fundraiser to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation. During this period, select styles of both Originals and Flex shoes will be marked down. Fifty percent of sales from this fundraiser will be donated to the charity to help grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions. “In these times, it’s more important than ever to give back to the community and bring joy to children who need it.

These  “sneakerheads” (including a couple celebrities) dish all about their passion for sport shoes. Sneaker culture got its start in New York in the 1970s, mostly among playground streetballers and practitioners of an emerging genre of music called hip-hop. Over the next three decades, rappers and basketball players — most notably, Run DMC and Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan — would play integral roles in boosting the popularity of rare kicks. “Run DMC were probably at the height of the whole movement. It was the first time music and sneakers crossed like this,” Peter Fahey, the mastermind behind Sneaker Pimps shoe shows, said of the group’s 1986 hit, “My Adidas.” Check this out HERE!
