Foot Locker Owns 34th Street

Just like Amar'e owns the court...

Hyperbole in titles, yes, and fitting as this Saturday, in the new House of Hoops by Foot Locker on 34th Street, New York Knicks savior Amar'e Stoudemire will be in attendance to celebrate the opening of this gorgeous new store:

My little family celebrated Foot Locker on 34th Street by visiting yesterday evening. We had a stack of gift cards burning holes in our pockets, thanks to Christmas gifts and Melissa of Foot Locker (thanks, Melissa!). And while House of Hoops was on our agenda, we first visited the flagship store down the street because we needed baby kicks. 120 W. 34th has a Kids Foot Locker. Unfortunately, by the time I got running shoes and my husband got running shoes, Baby Herald was screaming, tearing rows of baby kicks off the wall, and screaming. Did I mention she was screaming? She has a very high-pitched scream. It's quite impressive, especially when you're on a plane or in a store or any public space anywhere.
 

His (my male model refused to pose)

Hers

So we never made it to the new House of Hoops. And we didn't get any baby kicks. But the husband got a lightweight Saucony Kinarva running shoe ($90), and I got the Asics GT-2160 ($100) at Lady Foot Locker. I love how Asics fit my foot, and I think this is his first Saucony. It's a lightweight shoe, so I'm curious to see how they stand up to his abuse. And the screaming baby? I'll leave her home on Saturday when I visit Amar'e at the HOH grand opening. Be sure to go here for more information on all the opening day festivities.

The Every Tee

Tricia Lewis, our Fashion Herald blogger, is out on maternity leave. Following is a post from her co-worker Kati, in partnership with our friends at Lady Foot Locker 34th Street .

1 Great Shirt, 3 Different Styles: Sporty, Dressy, Casual

Snag four of these fitted, yet feminine cotton tees at Lady Foot Locker for just $20. This new and more flattering fit, with a slimmer cut is perfect for the gym, office, or daily wear. Choose from a variety of jewel tones to add a little flare to your wardrobe. Chic, versatile, and affordable. What are you waiting for?

Back to Lady Foot Locker

Tempting fall pieces are now emerging in store windows (see Zara sweaters and thigh-high suede boots), but I still groan a little at the thought of buying sweaters in August humidity. And let's not even talk about this new Christmas-in-Summer promotion I keep catching wind of. It's just wrong.

Instead I'll get on the Back-to-School bandwagon with a little 34th Street Lady Foot Locker. Because suede thigh-highs aren't always practical on campus, it's important to stock up on some sporting goods basics.

Neon! Sick of it yet? Nah, true 80's devotees will never tire of neon. Here I like mixing the bright yellow (Calvin Klein Performance yoga hoodie, $39) with some bright purple Chucks ($50). Click and note the double tongue: fold it over for a little pattern detail. Love the plaid.

I made Kati pose with this green Nathan aluminum water bottle ($19.99, comes in several colors). Have you noticed water bottles are the new accessory round town? Plastic is over.

Here's the Nike jacket from above ($50), but worn with a black Under Armour shiny T ($19.99) and a little variety on the feet. Kati and I agreed the jeans need to be tucked into the hi-tops, as this = 80's Rock Dressing 101.

I call it a shiny T, but the Under Armour is really a heat gear training top. Still a perfect accompaniment for these Pony hi-tops (City Wings Cosmo Hi, $64.99). That light green and black retro metal pattern can only be described as "killer." I can think of no better adjective. Pay attention in English class, kids.











Then there's the classic Nike hi-top in grey and white and shiny (Air Prestige, $78). These shoes not only work the neutral grey trend but also mix up the texture with some sparkly silver. Chic, basic, and interesting.

My favorites? Well, I'd be wrestling those retro Pony's away from you Back-to-Schoolers. Hey, I don't need to go back to school to buy a great pair of kicks.

Moonlighting in Bryant Park

As some of you may already know, I also blog for Bryant Park during The Holiday Shops season. And now I'm contributing some shopping posts to our new Bryant Park blog, called "The Bryant Park Blog." Clever, yes?!

Drop by The Bryant Park Blog today to check out my BCBGMaxAzria post. There's a gorgeous store right across the street from the New York Public Library and Bryant Park, and this weekend they are having their first Friends & Family event: 30% off everything, including sale items. Thanks to Lindsey for standing in as my model yet again!

As for 34th Street, you know there are some sales going on there, too.


Gap, giving us 40% off. I'm also eagerly anticipating the Design Editions (Alexander Wang and Vena Cava khakis, YES), should be arriving in Herald Square next Tuesday on the 16th but I am awaiting confirmation. Update: in Herald Square on the 17th, and at the flagship on Fifth on the 16th.



Ok, it's not on sale, but this sold-out-everywhere, refillable, to-go brush is in Bare Escentuals on 34th Street so run, go get yourself one for $29.50!








The Foot Locker Family is rolling out some summer sales:





























And be sure to check out Banana Republic's Father's Day sale special: buy a pair of chinos and get a polo for $15, and buy a non-iron shirt and get a tie for $15.

I also wanted to share a little Fossil for Father's Day, because when I was in the store last week this totally caught my eye:

The Jackson messenger bag, $108


And then the next day their PR sent me this photo! Serendipitous, so I guess that means I have to buy it for the new dad in my life? And borrow it on occasion?!

More Ben Sherman, H&M, and Lady Foot Locker

I refuse to leave my office on St. Patrick's Day as I can watch the parade from here in my aerie (office) and I am seriously allergic to crowds. Thus the photos I would have shown yesterday and last week if I didn't want ginormous posts:

Mmmm, zipper All Stars. See the colors under the zipper?










My homage to the Foot Locker striper, a la Ben Sherman (shirt) and H&M (pants). Hi top Nikes from the Lady Foot Locker.

















All the below from Ben Sherman on the 2nd floor at Macy's Herald Square, full of all the green I didn't wear today. Don't worry, I'm so Irish if you scratch me I bleed shamrocks & leprechauns.

Spring is for Top Downs

Ok, Leighton arrived, conquered, and has floated away in her black Reebok Top Downs, so it's time to talk kicks. Because these new Reeboks for us girls, exclusive to Lady Foot Locker, don't just look good. They're also going to pair up perfectly with your spring wardrobe.

Classic nautical kicking it w/Top Downs. A little New Wave w/polka dot mini & purple hi tops.

Prints are back with us strong this spring. Do a Leighton and wear your Top Downs w/cute dress.



















And here I am in the Lady, showing off that print with the H&M denim jacket. Is this not the perfect commuter look for spring? Heavy on the bright pink, yes, but it's spring 2009, ladies, which is almost just like spring 1983. Remember how we got into the groove in the 83?

Dresses, skirt, jacket, and cardigan from Herald Square H&M. Tank tops and scarves from Lady Foot Locker.
