WHY MUST I BE LIKE MY MOTHER ? THIS IS WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE WHEN DOVES CRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Alexander McQueen PUMA footwear collection explores the skeletal structure – the AMQ Spine Luxe showcases a lizard-skin upper with a slicked down silhouette reminiscent of the Puma Clyde. But check out the sole on this slinker! Like Amy Winehouse's reflection, the soles feature a translucent skeleton moulded and carved so intricately it will have you seeking out a fresh wet concrete pavement to leave your mark in.
Adding a bit of height to the AMQ is the Spine Mid Velcro, taking cues from the futuristic and high-end feature that has been taking over fashion circles, the multi-velcro straps. A pure piece of art, it is crafted to create a premium, simplisitic high top, that even Kanye will surely give nods to.
Following in the footsteps of its predecessors, this Cortez draws its inspiration from the Chinese Zodiac - the year of the tiger. The Nike Chinese Zodiac New Year series started back in 2002 with the Air Force 1, celebrating the year of the horse. The Year of the Tiger Classic Cortez is the 9th design and the first Cortez shoe adopted in the series. As Nike's first running shoe, Cortez has been well known for its comfort, lightweight and heritage. For 2010, Nike designers took a new approach to interpreting the tiger. Instead of using the popular yellow stripe print, they used white tiger to reflect its image of power and prestige in Chinese traditional culture.
'If you like pina coladas and getting caught in the rain' then you’ll love the tangy taste of New Balance’s new Tropical Cocktail pack. These chunky CM1001s come in two vibrant colourways: choose from a splash of zesty lime and pine or frosty blue and granita pink. The insoles sport silhouettes of swaying palm trees to send the sunny vibes all the way to your toes. Look out for them in the near future. Thanks to dunk for the news.
Following a stellar Fall 2009 debut hosted by Patricia Field in her personal home on the Bowery, Gerlan Jeans' sophomore presentation at the Audi Forum was a booming culmination of designer Gerlan Marcel's unconventional flair: an expectedly wacky affair chockablock with her idiosyncratic prints (past ventures of the Central Saint Martin's '00 graduate include designing kooky, colorful prints for Jeremy Scott, Calvin Klein, Barbie, and Libertine) and off-the-wall insanity. For Spring 2010, Gerlan steered toward a definite '90s SoCal vibe (think Amber's PVC/plastic dresses from Clueless), accentuated by daytime cotton streetwear recalling a distinct Clinton-era optimism and, perhaps, naiveté. Pot-leaf prints galore (played up by wicked hologram laboratory glasses seemingly ideal for Ernst Stavro Blofeld or even Dr. Julius No) and clear sky-high 'private dancer' heels may have been the most memorable motifs that I've witnessed thus far this Fashion Week. But the truly sellable high points include youthful Liberty-esque cotton floral prints perfectly fit for a romp in the sandbox, a dynamically spirited Doc Marten's collaboration, and a "yes we can" fist pump pattern befitting our current healthcare state-of-affairs.

This Kanye West x Louie Vuitton Sneaker has an upper entirely covered is red leather with sections of red nubuck/suede along the sides, toe, and heel. The back heel sports a quilted flap that’s said to be inspired by the collar of a jacket worn in the sci-fi movie Dune, an interlocking Louie Vuttion “LV” symbol is placed on the tongue, and LV monograms appear on the back portion of the midsole.
