It is so important to go all the way with your product presentation, marketing and image…it goes such a long way with telling your story. This is great!

*I love “BRANDS” who really create a Brand and not just call something a brand because they gave it a name.

March 12, 2010 (Los Angeles, CA) – Android Homme is happy to announce five new styles: the Apollo, Craft Lo, Craft Hi, Moc-1, and Space Deck.

Spring will additionally mark the premiere of low-tops into the collection including the Apollo, an all-leather low-top available in Red and Gray/White. Additionally, the Craft Lo will be available in a variety of premium materials and colorways. The Craft Lo and Craft Hi feature a leather toecap, but the Hi, as well as the seasons accessories, are offered in one colorway, Black. The moccasin inspired Moc-1 is available in Red Suede/Red Patent and Black Suede/Black Patent, and the boat shoe inspired Space Deck features similar materials, available in Gray Suede and Gray Patent. In addition to the new styles, new colorways are offered for the Propulsion and Propulsion II.

Realize. Redefine. Reboot. Reprogram. Android Homme.

Footwear: Number (N)ine for Converse

Converse got together with Number (N)ine for this amazing collaboration!

The collection launches on March 13, 2010 and will be at select retailers. I love the used tennis ball look of these and it is a great departure from the classic Converse silhouettes.

About the collaboration:

Number (N)ine for Converse

Converse announces its Number (N)ine for Converse collection. Some of the last Number (N)ine products available from Takahiro Miyashita’s highly sought-after label, the collection includes Chuck Taylor All Star and One Star shoes that will be available in February and will be followed up later in the year with new versions and Takahiro’s take on the Converse Odessa trainer.

The collaboration seems especially fitting for Takahiro who sees Converse as a sort of beginning and an end. “My childhood started with Converse” he says, noting that with the closing of Number (N)ine, that Converse has a special existence in relation to both his youth and the end of Number (N)ine.

Converse worked closely with Takahiro to create his interpretations of the Chuck Taylor All Star and One Star shoes, which Takahiro considers “authentic and permanent”. Taking a hybrid approach, Takahiro chose to incorporate the asymmetrical lacing of the 1970 and ‘80s era Converse Odessa shoe into his design. The Odessa shoe, which was originally designed for running, was super innovative for its time and a shoe from the Converse archives that Takahiro has long admired. Following the Chuck Taylor All Star and One Star versions, Converse will debut the Number (N)ine version of the Odessa trainer in early 2010.

The collection includes an oxford version of the Chuck Taylor All Star shoe with premium deer skin, yellow shag suede uppers, asymmetrical lacing and a metallic gold star on the shoe’s heel. A One Star version is also available in premium deer skin white shag suede uppers, asymmetrical lacing and a silver metallic star on the shoe’s heel. The shoes global launch will occur March 13, 2010 at select retailers globally. All shoes will retail for $140 and will be available in unisex sizing.

Footwear: Sebago Fairhaven Boat Shoes

Sebago Fairhaven back

I have such a great appreciation and adoration for Sebago for a number of reason that I will share at a later time. They make quality product and it fits me just right. I spotted these Sebago Fairhaven’s a couple months back and I wanted to share them with you guys. The navy colour is so classic and is such a great alternative to the traditional boat shoe.

Gucci has opened up a temporary flash sneaker store in London in collaboration with Mark Ronson. For the launch of this shop they have decided to drop some exclusive Gucci x Ronson sneakers.

This pair is really fresh and I love the grey herringbone touch. Each pair features leather boat lacing and a “Gucci with Mark Ronson” dog tag. The limited edition sneakers also come with unique packaging designed specifically for London.

Footwear: Fall 2010 Vans OTW Larkin

February 22nd, 2010

Vans OTW Fall 2010

Here you have the first look at the Vans Fall 2010 OTW Larkin in purple. The silhouette is just perfect and the perf just give it that luxury feel that I love. I know some of you are going to think it looks a bit like LANVIN but I think it might be a bit fresher. Dropping in August!
