80 Hot Kicks for the Holidays

From Piano Inspired Kicks to Memorial DJ Kicks

— December 9, 2009 — Fashion
I am kind of a know-it-all when it comes to shoes. Seriously, if they have been released in the past four months, I have written about them in great detail. So, it is fitting that I break out some slammin' gift ideas with this set of 80 Hot Kicks for the Holidays. This collection of gift ideas includes everything from Piano Inspired Kicks to Memorial DJ Kicks--basically what every baller will be wanting.

Implications - The sneaker industry is the perfect example of corporations satiating consumer desire for individuality with their eclectic selection of shoes. Corporations may consider drawing inspiration from the sneaker industry and adding much more flash and variety to their wares in order to attract consumer business.
