ss13 - a season of blues

From top, Prada (Saks); Lanvin, Balenciaga, Margiela (all from MrPorter) and last but not least, Louboutin (Louboutin's online shop). What's your pick then?

ss13 balenciaga sneakers

Not very sure they all belong to the new season collection of SS2013. Loud, vibrant colors are my to my liking and yes the blue one is really love at first sight. Barneys is selling them presently. 

ss13 balenciaga arena low cut sneakers

The new season Balenciaga 'Arena' lowcut sneakers are now available at MrPorter. I like the yellow version but not sure whether the shape of the shoe will fit me well. The eccentric huge tongue part is quite tricky, hard to judge from the pictures. I might have seen the similar ones in the past seasons but could not recall much.Shall wait and see...

more colors for aw12 balenciaga patchwork hitops

This recurring patchworked hitops is definitely the most popular Balenciaga shoes. The seasonal variations for AW12 as we can see include the rugged look black textured leather and the shiny coated leather at the tip area. The transparent soles remain interesting, though it has appeared before. Matchesfashion is selling these shoes now. Apparently the blue version is gorgeous and almost all sizes are out currently.

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.

balenciaga aw11 mix fabric hitop trainers

Balenciaga mix fabric hitops for this season in dark brown and black. The semi-transparent sole is still its striking point. There is another white-red version which I wrote about some time ago. Both are now stocked by MatchesFashion.com.

balenciaga patch work aw11 lowcut trainers

I first mentioned the patch work trainers in red sometime back when I first saw it at Balenciaga.com. It actually comes in the green color version as well, and is now available at Brownsfashion.com for GBP295. I still prefer the red afterall.

more balenciaga aw11 sneakers

Another 2 versions of hi-tops from Balenciaga for this season. The black one in the top has a green tongue which you could not visualise from this side view, while the below one has a purple one. The black version is not something I will go for, but the white version does trigger my impulse a bit. I have seen myself the black version at the local store, Club21 Men and I would say if you are intending to buy a pair of black sneakers, it would make a great choice.  As you might have known that these are recurring models. I have myself acquired one in black-orange combination. There is always a good reason to await the release of the next season if you do not like the colors for the current season.

can't have enough of balenciaga ss11

I am totally infatuated with this Balenciaga trainers. This color combination is one of my favorites of the season.

balenciaga ss2011 trainers with yellow

Having a high cut Balenciaga is not enough, so I decided to compliment my collection with this low cut with the striking yellow leather ankle panel. I like the contrast between grey and yellow.

shoes of ropes, ss essentials

Espadrilles, or espadrilles-inspired shoes are great for spring summer. I initially intend to get the Gucci sandals (third in the image) but when I asked the sales assistant whether I can step into water (why would I step into water right? but just in case...), she said NO as that would definitely damage the rope soles. Is this a reasonable answer?
