FASHION: Lanvin Spring/Summer 2011 Sneaker Preview

Yesterday morning in Paris, Lucas Ossendrijver and Alber Elbaz showed Lanvin’s Spring/Summer 2011 collection. When asked about the main idea behind the line Ossendrijver said “it was a hybrid behind active wear – but not in an 80s kind of way – and more formal tailoring.” With a focus on fabric, color and cut (and details, details, details) Lanvin offers an interesting new sneaker that falls in line with that hybrid active wear theme. In stores for SS11. High Snobiety via DD

KICKS OF THE DAY: Nike Air Force 1 Hi White/White-Sport Red

This pair was revealed last month and were slated for a July Release. They have already begun to hit stores nationwide.

Like so many Forces that have come before this, the entire upper is white leather. The toe and heel panels are treated to the tumbled variety though, slightly breaking up all the white. Another prized design element is the gum outsole, which happens to sit underneath this pair. The only actual Sport Red elements found are on the tongue tag and heel embroidery.
price: $100

KICKS: Nike Air Max 24/7 - Eggplant [Spring 2011]

Finally a foamposite I definitely can rock without feelin like got moonshoes on!

The “Eggplant” colorway has seen thorough use in Nike Basketball kicks like the Nike Air Foamposite One, Big Nike High, and an upcoming Nike Air 1/2 Cent, but how about an Air Max shoe? Peep this Nike Air Max 24/7 in an Eggplant colorway; taking after all the other Eggplant releases, this 24/7 features hints of black and silver. The question is: is it Foamposite? Based on the stitching it doesn’t look to be, but it could be a similar faux-Foam material used on the Nike Foamposite Blazer that released in 2009. Does Nike have another Foamposite hybrid trick up its sleeve? -Sneakernews

KICKS: Nike Blazer Mid Belt QS [Black/Black]

This mid top comes in a tonal black leather colorway with black outer sole. The leather looks very premium and most special is certainly the addition of the ankle strap. The sneaker is now available from Kasina. Also available in limited quantities tomorrow at proper.

KICKS: Supra EE Avenger 1st Look

After seeing the initial response to these today, I think Supra will be able to get away with the extremely obvious inspiration. In addition to the black nubuck, these will also be available in white leather. More pics & details soon.

Alexander McQueen Puma Tech KO Sneakers

In a continuation of the salute to Alexander McQueen, we present the McQueen PUMA Tech Ko Sneaker in black leather. Unassuming at first, these shoes utilize interesting layering techniques complete with side cutouts. The Tech Ko rubber-soled shoes run true to size and just hit Oak, but McQueen collab picks will undoubtedly sell out fast. Current sizes available are 39-43y. [$328 at oak].
RIP to one of the greatest most shocking and innovative fashion designers of our time. [Alexander McQueen 17 March 1969 – 11 February 2010].
