I’ve always kept my shoes clean. Since the L.A. Gears lit up my path in the early 90′s, anytime I had on some quality kicks, I would avoid |

| I can’t imagine what didn’t make the cutting board. There are spots. There are stripes. Suede, patent leather, micro-fiber, rubber, and faux-crocodile skin. On one shoe ^. And it doesn’t look bad. I would have to assume it was a sort of no-holds-barred situation. They picked out every kind of material and fabric they could find, and tried it out on every style of shoe. Then, they mixed parts from shoe styles on opposite ends of the spectrum. What we have as a result is something reminiscent of some old classics, but with a twist. Timberland style boots, masked in leather, snakeskin, and gold. “Converse” that make Converse look like spin-offs of themselves ^. Hell… The most plain shoe in their lineup has a zipper across the back ^. | |
   They set out 5 years ago to take every shoe to the next level, and they’ve done a damn good job. With nearly 200 styles and over 500 variants, the ex-Vans designers are now amongst the highest on the list to design custom shoes for celebrities (including Diddy and Wyclef Jean). Surprisingly, though, the designers haven’t let it get to their heads… Their shoe prices range from $50 for their trademark design and patterns, to just over $150 for the croc-types. They might have taken it a little too far with this one ^, but hey… If one person in the world likes it, they’ve done their job. Shoes for everyone. |
