balenciaga metal plate shoes

One of my favorite HK TVB artistes, Bosco Wong is undeniably a fashionable guy. He is bold enough to wear something that is eccentric. Well, I always believe that good looking people, no matter what they wear, will also look good. This Balenciaga metal plate shoes is extremely interesting but limited in practicality. What I care about this shoes is whether the iron plates in front will get rusty one day.

my new D&G aw11 highcut #5

This is my 5th pair of D&G AW11 runway sneakers. I guess for this SS12, the last season of D&G,  I won't be getting anymore D&G shoes, this might as well be the last one, for good.

d&g brown lowcut butterfly

Brown shoes, perfect for Autumn Winter yet I have none. Would this D&G Butterfly be the one I have been searching for? Asos has this now. Not expensive though, at GBP144 now.

my new D&G aw11 highcut #2

My obsession for D&G AW11 colorful hitops continues with some crazy 'procurements'. This is the blue version of the red-yellow 'Rhino'
that I bought in during the AW11 lauch of D&G by Club21 in early October. The strong blue color on suede is too hard for me to resist. I realise that it has a green version too and I am eyeing it already.

dsquared2 hitops aw11

Undoubtedly, DSquared2 makes hardy and nice sneakers. Made in Italy with quality material and workmanship, they could last for a long time. I like this high top because of its color combination of maroon, black and brown. GBP430 at Selfridge if you intend to invest in a pair of great high cut sneakers.

And yes, I am a fan of high cut sneakers. I rarely buy low cut ones :)

pierre hardy aw11 beige sneakers

Love at first sight for these Pierre Hardy sneakers. Despite the recurrent design, I do not mind at all owning them again and again in different colors and materials. TheCorner carries these gorgerous shoes now. More shoes to lust for now, and I still have Pierre Hardy in the boxes, untouched.

adidas x b.snowboards vulc low kazuki

I thought Kazuki x Adidas collaboration ended with SS11. Until I saw this Adidas x B. Snowboards by Kazuki series. The speciality of them is none other than the fleece lining. The embossed logo of the B. Snowboard is at the tongue. As usual, the very signature of KZK design, the stripe heel tap is retained. The brown color looks great, and Endclothing is selling them at only GBP95.

my new converse missoni aw11

Popular, well shoes are usually gone fast. So I just grabbed these two when they were released without any hesitation. Converse x Missoni AW11 collaboration is proven to be another notable success. If you check out most online stockists, the sizes are running out extremely fast, especially the popular size US8. I would not stop buying the next season SS12 as well.

These websites carry AW11 Converse x Missoni shoes:
endclothing.co.uk, aloharag.com, tresbienshop.net. If you are in Singapore, do check out my favorite boutique -  Surrender.

margiela aw11 brown wool sneakers

Maison Martin Margiela AW!! brown ankle cut sneakers with wool. The brown is not uniform, rendering a rugged overall look. The strap added behind is simply ornamental I think. This model seems to be a hybrid from the classic replica series. SSENSE is selling now.There is a black version at Margiela E-boutique.

my new D&G aw11 highcut #1

If you have been reading my blog, you know that I love colorful shoes. For AW11, there is only one designer that makes me crazy - D&G. Despite the you-might-think-very-cliche Mickey Mouse and Coca Cola print apparels, I consider myself totally conquered by almost every single pair of D&G runway sneakers of AW11. I just got this pair off D&G boutique by Club21 at Mandarin Gallery Singapore a few days ago when they held a AW11 runway pieces launch party. I grabbed the sneakers without a second thought! And the post is marked #1. Yes, I am collecting D&G AW11 sneakers and the rest will soon be unveiled.

This model is called "Rhino". The cutting is sleek and I have to tell you how comfortable wearing D&G sneakers. I have worn many sneakers from various labels and D&G is one of the best that gives very high comfort level of wearing. Do check out D&G online store too if you are tempted.

givenchy aw11 urban sneakers

I am now quite careful when buying Givenchy sneakers. This is due to the variation in the cutting that somehow slipped my mind in the past, impulse driven apparently. Yes, not all Givenchy trainers come with sleek cutting. My beautiful grey  "Tom" highcut is one good example.

However, this newly released "Urban" Sneakers from SSENSE looks quite sleek due to its slimmer cutting. The use of different grey tones and material textures, even  the shoe lace in bluish grey,  does make the overall appearance interesting. Anyway, this highcut model, I believe, is recurrent. I remember seeing something as sleek too in the past few collections.

maison martin margiela aw11 highcut sneakers in dark grey

Maison Martin Margiela recurrent high top sneakers is in dark grey for AW11. What I love about this high top is that there are some patent parts incorporated into the leather body, so that the grey outlook does not appear to be too monotonous. The grey also appears in different tones at different parts. I already own one in dirty yellow and I need to tell you this, Margiela's shoes are very comfortable to wear!

adam kimmel aw11 green wool hitop

Green shoes are extremely hot for this AW11. Adam Kimmel high top sneakers in black leather and green wool is an interesting attempt. I am sure wool is not so easy to maintain but this material is just inescapable in many AW11 items. You could get this at Tresbienshop.net now which is also offering free worldwide shopping for a limited period. Made in Italy.
