Anyone who knows me well knows that I abhor glitter.  It gets everywhere and just when you think you've gotten it all, a random fleck if it pops up on the side of your temple three weeks after your initial contact with it.  That's why it took it being in the hands of the brilliant camp at McQueen to make me like it.  This Black & Silver Glitter Oversized Sneaker is a nice update to their newly famed silhouette.  The upper is a smooth, and shiny, glitter covered calfskin that covers the entire sneaker from upper to sole for an sweet effect that is intentionally random.  Go highbrow with trim dark suiting or keep it lowbrow with denim and a tee and prove that all the glitters can be golden.  Available now at Ssense.com.
