Wear It Like Beckham: Becks Is A Fashion Designer

Josh loposer — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 11:30:00 GMT

Somewhere between playing for two pro soccer clubs on two continents and keeping up with his three boys (Brooklyn, 10, Romeo, 6, and Cruz, 4) how does David Beckham managed to find time to develop and craft his design skillz?

Apparently, Adidas suggested that David team up with James Bond (not that James Bond), the guy who owns the Undefeated sneaker freak boutiques, to come up with a fall/winter lineup for Adidas.

The collection will be made up of American sportswear, with a healthy dose of leather, cashmere, and silk. The shoes -- what I'm most interested in -- will be throw backs to traditional Adidas styles.

Surprisingly, David will not be appearing in any of the advertising for the line -- or so they say. Does that mean he's actually designing some of it? I kind of imagined him just reviewing designs on his Blackberry and replying "looks good."

Does Adidas just wants his name to be connected with the line to help sales? Or do they really want his design input?

Maybe Becks will wear the line out in public or something. Weird.

Slam Dunk! Candace Parker is the First Pregnant Woman on cover of ESPN Magazine

sweatpantsmom — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 22:05:00 GMT

Los Angeles Sparks star Candace Parker is expecting her first child with her husband, Minnesota Timberwolves forward Shelden Williams, this spring. And another first - the WNBA player is the first pregnant woman to be on the cover of ESPN magazine.

“We don’t do a lot of female athletes on the cover. Candace has made it more interesting," says Gary Belsky, editor-in-chief of the magazine. "She’s got Adidas, McDonald’s and Gatorade as sponsors; that’s a pretty strong big three. But it’s still tough to put a woman on the cover for us.”

Parker's cover is certainly a coup, since the target audience of ESPN magazine is the 18-34-year-old male.

While the mom-to-be is excited about her cover girl status, it's her other upcoming event she's gushing about. "I’m proud of my child...and I’m excited about the opportunity to have a child and be an athlete," Parker says. And she certainly isn't sitting this pregnancy out on the bench. "I'm working out three or four times a week. The hard part about being an athlete is learning that when you feel tired you can’t push yourself."

Toddler Adidas, Because Cool Never Goes Out of Style

A celebrity toddler was recently seen sporting these classic kicks. It's hard to tell from the photo, but I'm guessing she was also singing, "My Adidas, I wear them on my feet. People call them sneakers but I ain't no sneak."

At least I like to think that she was.

Find out who was wearing them at Droolicious.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban Do Their Part to Save Starbucks- Maybe

According to the info on this photo Nicole Kidman and her husband Keith Urban are leaving a Starbucks in Nashville, TN. While I've never been to Nashville I have been to Starbucks and I don't recognize those decals. I declare myself suspicious!

Little Sunday Rose must not have wanted anything. They sell kid-sized drinks, guys.

The Madden Brothers Look Blue

They're on a mission from God. I think they're trying to get the band back together.

I know, the Blues Brothers reference is probably lost on most people that would get excited by seeing Joel and Benji Madden shopping at the Glendale Galleria, but they blew their chance of being compared to Run DMC when they opted not to wear Adidas. It was a judgment call.
