Last year, Converse revamped their classic Jack Purcell sneakers with updated designs and patent leather to go along with their iconic rubber toe. It looks like this year they are aren’t slowing down and have produced another update featuring perforated leather. I am digging the white ones… of course.

Once again straying away from its athletic origin, Adidas’ SLVR line promises a minimalist approach to its clothing and footwear. The simple design is exactly what I like from these sneakers.

Putting a twist on a classic looking keds shoe, Alife introduces new colorways to their Public Outrage Sneakers. The two-tone offerings really catch my eye. Available soon at Mita’s.

I was watching the Grammy Awards and noticed these crazy sneakers Lil’ Wayne was wearing during his tribute to Katrina performance of “Tie My Hands.” Designed by Diet Butcher Slim Skin, these have an exaggerated tongue/heel and will definitely be the center of attention.

Y-3 is Adidas’ premium brand, bringing runway fashion to the athletic apparel giant. These shoes carry the trademark stripes of Adidas but have the flair that you can wear on your evening out.

I have really liked these shoes since they came out and the new colorways just add to their brilliance.

Kris Van Assche’s latest installment of shoes. For some reason, Marty McFly’s shoes from Back to the Future II mixed with a Star Wars influence come to mind.

Alfie Rivington Club is an underground shoe store in the Lower East Side of New York. High fashion design sneakers that you’d find on Kid Cudi and Pharrell.
Thanks Dave.

Kanye initially made these popular in the “Stronger” video. Now they have come out with new colorways.

Perforated shoes with straps seem to be a recurring theme for the upcoming season. See link for more pictures.
