How do I know all this? I've written copy for many, many shoe catalogs featuring the wacky Weitzman-isms. For Spring 2008, for example, we will be encountering Weitzman styles named Obladi (as in the Beatles song), Jellystone, and Buckup.

But enough of my Russian language geekery-- want the shoes! “Sputnik” is just Russian for satellite… literally, if you want to break the Slavic root down, it means something like a little thing with a circular path.
