The Sneaker Report : Kick Off The New Year The Fly Way With These 5 Winter Sneakers
I Almost Threw Away My Timbs When I Wrote This!
Winter Sneakers Are The New Timberlands (For Real Though)
like everyone else in the world, we were very skeptical when we first heard about winter sneakers. I vividly remember my mom’s voice screaming the pros and cons of wearing sneakers in the snow (it kinda stayed with me to this day).

The sneaker industry adapts itself pretty quickly to trends, lifestyles, cultures, and everything that plays in our buying cycle. Their first attempts at putting out winter sneakers were rather unimpressive if you ask me. Perhaps, like every good thing in life: it takes time to get the results in!

2017 was a great year for sneakerheads at large. We saw Adidas kick some doors down with a massive collection of dope releases and surprisingly Nike definitely kept the pace. We saw dope collabs all year and finally, this year we allowed ourselves to consider options rather than getting the same usual brands.
2018 is the year of the openmindedness (as every year should be actually). We’ve have decided to check for ourselves and we can tell right from the start that on design perspective, shoe brands definitely stepped it up this year!
Here are 5 winter sneakers to cop in order to fight the snow while staying warm & fly!

#1 Adidas AF 1.3 Primeknit (For Fly Guys Only)
Price: 239$ CAD at
Here’s a perfect example of what we meant by THEY STEPPED IT UP! The 3 stripes brand really caught the imagination of the sneakerheads this year with amazing collabs and designs.

I personally believe that they’ve been running the ”trainer shoes” trend all year and they definitely brought their savoir-faire into this pair.
The days where you had to tie up your heavy boots for over 5 minutes are gone. this pair is warm enough to wear in the cold but yet fly enough to make a statement.
Can You Really Ask For More?

#2 Vans Super Sk8-Hi (For Bold Guys Only)
Price: 120$ CAD at
Vans and the Jordan brand have this one thing in common, they’ve created classic styles that survived the test of time. The Sk8-Hi shoe is iconic for many different cultures and has hit the urban scene like a thunderstorm in the past few years.
They went Britney Spears on us and did it again with a revamped version of the shoe just so snow survivors like us in Montreal could go through this harsh weather in style.

#3 Converse Jump Boot High Top (For The Conservative Guy Only)
Price: 225$ at
For all our all-black-everything-live-and-die-by-the-simple-things readers, we didn’t forget you. Indeed, Converse definitely brought something timeless and wear-it-everywhere on the table.

Neat, classy, comfortable with that je-ne-sais-quoi that only Converse knows how to create!

#4 Nike Manoa (Because Some Guys Like The Classics)
Price: 75.97$ USD at Nike
This pair right here almost made me drop my timberlands (almost but sike!).

#5 Wampa / Timber By Clearweather (For The Guy Who Thinks Outside The Box)
Price: 350$ USD at
These are not quote-unquote sneakers but they’re not your heavy winter boots either which makes them special from the jump. Clearweather is a brand we’ve discovered in Las Vegas last summer and since then they kept bringing that fire (I wish I could plug the emoji right now).
Innovative, unique in terms of quality, colorways, and materials, this is the no-one-rocks-it-like-me type of winter sneakers.
What Do You Think?
Are you willing to let go your traditional Uggs or Timberlands for those winter sneakers instead? Let us know in the comment section now!

The End Of An Era And A New Start: Dress To Kill Magazine Goes Digital
A New World Order
I hate to break it down to you so abruptly but the world is changing, the world as we knew it, the way we consume, the way we think and even that good old Dress To Kill magazine is going through it.
Read More: Learn About The Black History In Montreal With This New City Tour
As a young and inexperienced blogger back in 2016, I felt deep in my earth that paper was a dying medium and that the internet was about to carry the torch.
a hundreds of blog posts later, multiple attempts at building an online presence and literally trying to digitize the aesthetics & creativity I saw in magazines growing up.
I must admit 2 things: 1. what it takes to make fashion or information enjoyable is very hard to put together and 2 building an audience on or offline is a GREAT feat.
I grew to admire and respect my peers in traditional media because they made the most out of nothing at a time where Facebook and all those outlets were not a thing.
In case you didn’t know, Dress To Kill magazine is not your average magazine by any shape or form.
Promoting Canadian art and fashion from province to province was something seemingly unthinkable but they got it done.
From iconic covers with Lenny Kravitz and more iconic nights at le Mount Stephen to bring the whole industry under the same roof, DTK got it done.
Don’t take what I’m saying as a farewell note because today actually mark a rebirth for the publication.
Indeed, while the world was going all over the place, they went on a well thought out rebrand.
As you might have guessed, the biggest take away from this is the stoppage of the paper version of the magazine.
The focus is now digital but as I told you earlier, DTK doesn’t go halfway.
Their new platform will include an online boutique which once again is going to focus on shedding light on Canadian creators for men and women.

Do you think more magazines are going to make a full transition to digital?

We Ask A Personal Development Coach How To Overcome The Ins and Outs Of The Crisis
It’s all about your point of view
Everything You Need to Know Through The Lens Of A Personal Development Coach
I’m always amazed at how people like to stigmatize the role or relevance of a personal development coach. They’re quick to label it a scam, a fad, something based on nothing but little they did know, they’re coaches around the world who impacts millions and millions of people in a life changing way. I was looking for the equivalent of a Tony Robbins in Quebec, my research undoubtedly came back to the same name: Marc Dumaine.
Read More: Here’s What I’ve Learned About Myself Since The Coronavirus Crisis Started
Mr Dumaine is more than a personal development coach, he’s a man with a story.
Not your average story either. From overcoming alcohol and drug abuse to obtaining a MBA to running campaigns for some of the biggest corporations in this province. Here’s a man of many battles.
Honorable mention too, these days Marc is focused on creating an international platform to impact as many people he possibly can.
The bottom line is this. This personal development coach is not unfamiliar with trials and tribulations, changes and transitions.
That’s why to me, in a time like this where everything is doing a 180 degree, I had to pick his brain and ask him how can you and I get over.
In this Q&A, we indeed ask Marc Dumaine about several things such as how to bounce back from the crisis, his keys to success and much more.
QUESTIONS FOR MARC DUMAINE
#1 How did you figure yourself out as a future entrepreneur and what was the key factor that made you take that route?I was always an artist at heart and found that I didn’t it in any mole. After completing my MBA, I realized that my biggest assets were my differences. I decided at that moment to stop following what people expected from me and launched my own business. To me being an entrepreneur is an art form in itself. I have never regretted that choice since I launched Asana Coaching 10 years ago. #2 How can someone go from being self-employed to an entrepreneur making money without physically being there?The internet is booming with opportunities right now ! Even with the COVID-19, there is a redefinition of the way people consume products and services ! It is a TIME for being creative and look into endless opportunities ! Get out of our comfort zone and start being inspired by people who are already doing it ! Then, build yourself a right game plan with an amazing branding, and you are all set for the best adventure of your life.

If you’re interested in seeing him in action, he’s doing a Facebook live tonight at 7:30 pm and if you’re looking for some light in these dark times, that’s the place to be.
