Ace Lace is an innovation in sneaker lacing created by Anna Freed. The patent pending solution laces shoes in a second and provides equalized tension for better support. It also makes for a pretty neat lacing pattern. There's a prototype pair of Reeboks fit with Ace Lace for sale on Ebay and Anna also has a video that shows them in action.

After the successful show, while everyone swarmed the designer backstage, I was able to get a few pics of the hi-tops as they were being put away (click images for detail). While I don't know much about them except that...
T-Book x Peter Schmid Sneakers
With British t-shirt company T-Book's tessellating expressions of love and the German Puma designer Peter Schmid's high and low-tops, these may be the most romantic kicks out there. Laser-burnt with T-Book's clever, M.C. Escher-esque "Don't Kiss Goodbye" (pictured left, click either image for detail) or with their "I Love You" repeating script pattern (pictured right), the process takes about an hour for each pair....
