Went by to the Asics Fall 2009 press preview a few weeks ago and had the first look at the tokidoki for Onitsuka Tiger Fall 2009 Collection. This partnership has brought together two unique facets of Japanese culture. The Onitsuka Tiger strong history of creating outstanding athletics products married to the tokidoki modern interpretation of Japanese art has created the perfect blend of function and fashion.” The Fall 2009 collection consists of two styles, the tokidoki snowtopia and the tokidoki fabre BL-L.

Christian poe sneakers



Today we give you a first look at a brand that we have not covered before – Christian Peau from Japan.

“Christian Peau is a Japanese fashion house whose design is understood to bridge the gap between modern avant-garde and classical artisan-based fashion. Unlike many cutting edge Japanese designers that have emerged from the last 10 years, Peau’s is much more European in nature. His influences lie in the traditionl artisans from the early 1800s who were understood to be masters in their trade. Drawn from traditional shoemaking and leather master craftsmen,Christian Peau has reinvented the avant-garde in a modern and beautiful manner.

The emphasis is on handmade leather garments- each shoe is made by hand in Japan with an assortment of hand-stained, painted and washed leathers that are compounded and nailed together for a truly unique outcome.”

Thom Browne x Converse Jack Purcell






Impish cutting edge men's designer Thom Browne has collaborated with classic sports shoe brand Converse on a limited edition pair of patchwork grosgrain ribbon sneakers. The quirky take on Converse's iconic canvas Jack Purcell model sells for $1,800 at so-hip-it-hurts Parisian boutique Colette. A pair of original canvas Jack Purcells, designed in 1935 by the badminton champ of the same name, runs about $40. The red, white and blue patchwork ribbon motif was used by Browne for one of his characteristically loopy men's suits in his spring fashion show. Men's style expert Alan Flusser, who called out President Obama's dodgy inauguration ball tuxedo, has dubbed Browne's out-there designs "irresponsible."

Puma x UNDEFEATED Puma Mid 24K Collection




For the women out there who have been longing to have a really elegant and sporty pair of kicks, well Nike has recently produced its Air Troupe Mid of metallic silver and pink color-way.

These kicks will definitely get kicking on the ladies feet. It’s an eye candy featuring pink accents on the open heel tab, shoe laces and outer sole as well as on the tongue, along with the entire bright silver upper.

Ann-Marie Paz, the designer of this hip hop dance shoe, has been researching for two long years to develop such chic and stylish pair. And with that kind of outcome, I’m sure she has nothing to regret about the extensive study.

The shoe also holds a high top designer feel with non-slip rubber sole and lightweight upper which a proper hip hop and break dancing shoe should have.

Not only are this lovely Nike Air Troupe mid for dancers, this may also be worn by women with a high taste for sneakers and those who want to have a little of their hip hop side revealed in a classy way.
