Fila Follows In The “Biting” Game….
So Check The Program….
Last week I was trekking down Broadway with my sister just taking and roaming around town until I ran into my local Foot Locker store. Only to take full view of the front window - which featured a collection Fila sneakers. I stood in front the shiny glass window - baffled by the new Helmsman sneaker. Now everyone feels the need to be “inspired” or what have you….but there does come a time when “bootlegging” becomes a major problem. With the economy at an all time low…..and couturiers increasing their price points, fashion junkies are stuck between a rock and a hard place. Anyone who loves Prada knows that the America’s Cup Trainer has been a constant favorite on the streets, so to see Fila’s newest collection of Helmsman sneakers is some what a slap in the face. Has Fila come down to this? Wasn’t it once a respectable sneaker brand? Unlike the Prada America’s Cup $350 price tag - you can cop the “poor mans” version anywhere between $80-$90.
Do you think that Prada should take action of Fila? Ladies & Gents….it’s time to sound off!

…I first seen these in the Source or XXL mag. I respect their “inspiration”, but I’m a big believer in having the “real thing”, and if I cant afford to cop said “real thing”, I will obtain something else of another brand that is the original of that brand. Example: I was, and still am, in love with the LV Papillion Damier, but my pockets said Naw. So, I instead went to Loehmans and got me a lil Michael Kors to hold me down. I would however buy these for my Dad, he wouldn’t mind.
