Christian Laboutin Mikaraja Flat

Christian Laboutin has never been a design house to shy away from statement-making, and these Mikaraja flats are no exception. Constructed from a nearly mirrored patent leather, the obvious focal point of the shoe is the white, gold, and green beaded tassels on the tongue and sides.

Christian Louboutin Rollerboy Spike Plaid Loafers

You’d think that spikes would be the only element needed for these Rollerboy loafers ($1,295) to grab attention, but apparently it wasn’t enough for Christian Louboutin, as they’ve added plaid. Released for Fall/Winter 2011, these shoes feature colorful plaid cotton covered with silver spike studs.

The new fall winter 2011 collection offers plenty of studded options to appease any shoe fan, from trainers to loafers and lace-ups, which have redeeming qualities despite some resembling a little too close to those infamous red sole's.

Prada Spring/Summer 2011 Wingtip Espadrilles vs Prada Fall/Winter 2011 Shoes

The success of Prada's Spring Summer 2011 Espadrilles Brogues sees this popular design make a comeback for Fall Winter 2011. But this time, the summer element of using jute rope trimmings (espadrilles style) has been removed and exposing the stripe detail sides on the soles. Colours are also adopting a more sombre tone, in deep burgundy and timeless black.

Jimmy Choo Fall/Winter 2011-2012 Men's Shoe Collection

Calf Monk Strap Crocodile

The collection has nice basics though: a biker boot, loafer, monk strap, sneaker, etc. I was looking for atleast one standout shoe amongst the line. But then again, when I think about what Jimmy Choo women's shoes are classically known for, it's top-notch craftsmanship and extreme comfort (even if they're 6 inch stilettos). So maybe the men's shoes will stick with that same blueprint for now and creatively branch out later.

Hermès Custom Vans Slip-Ons

 

What’s a guy to do when his favorite sneaker company won’t collaborate with his favorite fashion house??? Well, Robert Verdi took the collaboration into his own hands by kindly requesting that Vans make him a few pairs of custom kicks out of his vintage Hermès scarf collection for his personal use. We have to admit, the end result was brilliant! This marriage between upscale prints and rubber street soles make the collaboration seem like a typical case of the old saying, ‘opposites attract.’ On the contrary, the union of Hermès and Vans make more sense than what meets the eye, by the use of the two distinctive materials that represent each company. Since 1937 Hermès has been designing their classic silk scarves, which elevated the company to an iconic status. Equally so, it was 1966 when Paul Van Doren sold his first pair of Vans on the streets of Anaheim California, with the same rubber sole we see today. The rubber of the shoes, and the silk of the scarves, are the two materials in which society identifies these brands to be. Though Hermes and Vans are from opposite worlds, they both found their identity, and stayed true to it!
