Since our feet never stink (okay, maybe sometimes), we usually don’t wear socks with our boat/low slung shoes. One reason also is that even though the so called low cut socks are suppose to look like you are not wearing any, they usually still show which looks tacky. With the Mocc Socks, you can now achieve the sock-less look. Because let’s face it, its never cool to rock out with your socks out.
Converse if giving the Chuck Taylor a summer look and calling it the “Chuck It.” This lightweight Converse All Star features a breezy mesh upper that’s lined at the front and toe making it a perfect summer shoe.
The APL Concept 1 Shoes weigh only 15 ounces and are made from space-age materials, including a patent pending Load N’ Launch technology which is designed to provide an “instant” improvement in vertical leap. Now we don’t actually know if the instant boost in your vertical is true or if it makes a significant difference , but the shoes do look sweet and if the boost is true, even better. So basically this device along with high performance materials such as microfiber mesh and special anti-microbial lining, make these kicks unique from the rest on the market.
Traveling can be a pain, especially if its not for pleasure, and especially going through the security line when you have to basically strip naked. The Puma Flyer Folds are the perfect travel shoe. They save time by having a collapsible heel so its easy to slip on and off and will get you through the security line in no time. Although they are pricey and you can technically step on any of your shoe heels for easy slip on and off, it’s a great concept and we wouldn’t be surprised if other shoe companies were to follow suit.
Since we always have an eye out for awesome kicks that you can wear casually as well as going out, we had to post these. Fin’s is introducing the Amalfi Collection on their site. It is a limited edition range exclusive for Summer 2010 and incorporates luxury linen material from supplier Alicante. The capsule collection is inspired by the pared down simple chic of the 1950’s Italian Riviera. It comes in three colors and models named Revello, Sorrento, and Positano.
Nike has just unveiled there latest creation, the Mercurial Vapor SuperFly II.

They feature Flywire tech, an adaptive stud, directional blades, and a carbon composite chassis. Plus they look pretty sweet. These will be available April 2010 at all Nike retailers and also www.nikestore.com and www.nikesoccer.com.
We have a special place in our hearts for Sperry shoes and J.Crew has just given some fine tuning to these classics .The shoe’s Chino upper gets slightly distressed while the inside is lined with the brand’s signature cotton chambray. Looks like we’ll have another shoe to add to the list for this summer.
Furthering their relationship, Dr. Martens and Stussy once again collaborate for a refreshingly clean lightweight summer shoe with The Hambleton. The canvas shoe will be available at select Dr. Martens retailers and Stussy chapter stores worldwide in March 2010 in navy, ecru or black. Inspired by the California casual styles and an European summer staple, The Hambleton features a clean silhouette with a reinforced EVA wedge outsole, Stussy Deluxe woven logo on the tongue and SS logo on the heel tab.
If you’ve ever been a fan of Stan Smiths, we are pretty sure you’ll like these Tennis Classics from legendary street wear icon Hiroshi Fujawara equally if not more. The design is minimalism at its best. They feature tasteful gold foil accents on the heal and tongue which compliment the subtle shine of the sneaker’s white leather upper. These will be available at Nike Sportswear retailers January 19th.
Being that we are huge fans of Chuck Taylors, we had to give credit to these boots. The Militiary/Chuck inspired boots are wrapped in distressed olive twill and feature leather uppers, a rubber toe cap, and a belt detail to ensure just the right fit. The Converse by John Varvatos JV Bosey Boots add style to any winter attire.
