 Adidas X Palace Pro Sneakers

Not all things need stretch, but some things just do better with it.  For Adidas' latest collaboration with the London-based Palace Skateboards, knit takes precedence for part of the pack while suede dominates the other.  Adidas rendered the black sneaker and white sneaker using their Primeknit technology while the grey was done up in pristine paper thin mesh suede.  The result is an amazingly lightweight pack that will be perfect for the summer weather and all-around cool & comfort.  Available now in all color ways at End Clothing.

We have to chastise ourselves a bit because we haven't highlighted any womens shoes from this brand in a while, which is a real disservice to you guys. Not only does Oliberté have great shoes, which includes sandals, flip flops, boots, ballet flats, etc, that are incredibly comfortable, they are a sustainable, fair trade certified footwear brand that also supports workers’ rights in sub-Saharan Africa. This is the Oliberté Praia Wingtip Shoe, a wonderful wine colored women's wingtip that naturally stands out.

We were entranced by the deep, rich hue of the Praia's Nubuck leather upper, the soft take on the wingtip silhouette, its 100% goat leather black lining, coordinating purple poly blend cord laces, water-based PU comfort insole with heel stabilizer, natural crepe rubber sole, and just as before and with every shoe they have, the African floral pattern on the insole and outsole. The Oliberté Praia is available in more understated colors, like the Light Grey Brushed Wax, and Rustic Brown Pullup, but we just love the deep tones of the wine.Get them for $110.00 at www.oliberte.com.

ASICS Alpine Pack

One usually doesn't link summer and Alpine, but in the case of this new ASICS pack, its acceptable.  Their new Alpine Pack is a fresh walk in color and comfort for the season.  The comfortable midsoles and attractive color ways are combined with the patented comfort of ASICS meet with the tan/tan on the Gel Lyte V and the Gel Lyte III in grey/grey.  It's like cool ketchup and mustard and refreshing mint to get you through the season.  Both color ways are available now at Bows And Arrows Berkeley.

This year is the year for silver and pewter are must-have color in womens shoes, so we suggest you stock up on stunning footwear styles like these Seychelles Amulet Open-Toe Pumps that are totally on our list, and will soon be in our possession. We love styles like the Amulet heels, but we especially love these high heels for their perforated leather upper, open-toe, retro-vibe, chic d’Orsay silhouette,  diagonal strap across the vamp, and the 3 3/4" stacked heel. We say go for the pewter, but you may love it in black, or nude, grab your favorite hue for $110.00 on www.seychellesfootwear.com.

Nike Internationalist Premium Canvas Sneaker

With summer upon us there is no better time to get in the mood for warm weather living.  Nike's Internationalist Premium Canvas Sneaker makes looking cool in the warm weather fresh and clean.  The upper is a mix of a nicely textured canvas with leather accents on a retro inspired sporty silhouette.  Summer BBQ fare is channeled with the checkered red & white lining which makes going sock-less as plausible as brining that six-pack to the affair.  Available now at Mr.Porter.com and Dover Street Market in NYC.

Having family in the military, it's a no-brainer that we'd want to honor them and those who fight to protect this country. One way of course is through fashion, but we understand that not everyone wants to walk around looking like they are draped American Flag. Luckily, when it comes to women's shoes, you can look patriotic without going too overboard with the red, white, and blue. Today's Shoe of the Day is the LFL Crime Heels, a great example of high heels that gives you the look of a patriot in and edgy and fashionable way. These stunning womens heels boasts bright blue patent straps across the toes and ankle, coral trim on the toe box and around the insole, a bold black and white pattern covers the heel counter and its statuesque 5" heel, and finally, a gold metallic 3/4" cork platform. With a price tag of only $69.99 from heels.com, it should be a crime to look this good, but luckily for us, it isn't.
