What a sick performance toasting to the 2 awards the Black Eyed Peas won at this year’s American Music Awards. What better way for them to do it than with Taboo wearing the Black/Gold TABOOXJUMP Zetos. What a phenomenal time for The Peas and for us to be collaborating with Tab. We’re truly quite fortunate.
I know he had his missteps with Rihanna but you simply cannot deny his fancy footwork in this video in JUMPs. It’s like Taboo said, JUMPs are almost made for dancing. The toe character, the strength of the rubber outsole and the sexiness perfectly lends itself to dancing. And if this song is any indication, it certainly seems like Chris is remorseful for what happened. Either way, the shoes look fly.
As many of you are now aware, we’ve entered into a collaboration with Taboo of the Black Eyed Peas. With the successful launch of the collaboration in the US, we’ve decided to take it global. To celebrate, this Thursday, 11/12, we will have an official launch event at our store from 6-9 PM where we invite you to have a first look at the collaborative line. Those who purchase a pair will receive a free gift from JUMP and Taboo, an autograph and photo with Taboo as well as entrance to the exclusive VIP after party at the new club, Juliet, with the rest of the Black Eyed Peas.
The Model Lounge is a place for models to hang out in between castings and shoots. It’s at Delicatessen on Lafayette, not too far from our store. We introduced them to the women’s Vanquish and they love it. Look how cute.
Friedman’s is a store in Atlanta that has been around forever. They cater to men and women with large feet. If you need sizes 14 & up you can check out Friedman’s.
Here’s JaVale McGee and Andray Blatche from the Wizards with one large Vanquish Violet Patent Croco.
The Black Eyed Peas was in town last week to induct U2 into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Kind of a big deal when they’re rubbing shoulders with Mick Jagger and the like. He had a chance to pop into the SoHo store with Apl.
Later on we stopped into Saks to check out the shoes.
Shawn and Louis, Buyer and DMM at Saks met us on the floor.
It got kind of crazy. Kids were offering free dental work from their father’s practice in Brooklyn. Tourists from Italy were asking for autographs. One woman inadvertently asked for mine thinking I was famous. That was exciting.
They’ll be back next week to perform on SNL and at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion show and also for one mega event with us on November 12th. Keep you posted.
