If you read this blog, you're probably the type of person that never takes their sneakers off, even in the winter. It's true that winter isn't such a big deal for inhabitants of bigger cities like Prague, as sub-zero temperatures are pretty rare around here (still, you never know - a giant snow storm might be just around the corner). But why wear chunky winter boots when you can put on a pair of Converse sneakers from their new Mountain Club collection. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGNXySm

Everything has a story. A pair of sneakers, a brand, a store, or a personality - all of these can tell a story. However, each story is reflected in its container.

The older we get, the less it sucks to find a soft present under the Christmas tree. If you're at that age when a big mysterious-looking box doesn't get you all hyped up anymore, you should take a look at our selection of socks, because you can never have too many of them. Especially if you don't live at your parent's place anymore. There's two types of people. The ones that only wear black or white socks, and those that make their socks full-fledged parts of their outfit. I'm sure we can all agree that
