Best One for S***r by SummerSeventySix
I appreciate simpler shoes these days, although still with a twist, like these new ones that have been designed for S***r (aka Swear London) by graffiti artist Best One. Coming over like a cross between traditional Vans and a straightforward plimsoll, the dashes of color take them to the next level. The above picture, which is the only one we have, probably doesn't do them justice.
UPDATE: We've added a better picture of the pink colorway (right). The shoes also come in grey or white, which you can see in the initial picture here.
They're expected to arrive this month in stores like Colette in Paris, Opening Ceremony in NYC and, of course, Swear in London. They're likely to cost the equivalent of around £50.

Tretorn x Acne Sneakers
Tretorn may not pack the brand punch that Nike does in the States, but to tennis aficionados in Europe, this Swedish athletic company is practically a national treasure. Founded in 1891, the company established itself worldwide with their signature sneakers and tennis balls. As a part of an ongoing collaboration, Swedish designers Acne Jeans have released a new spin on one of Tretorn's most timeless...

Call of the Wild
Every day this week we're writing about the things that really caught our eye at the top British casualwear show To Be Confirmed last weekend. London-based Kai and Sunny are the designers responsible for Call Of The Wild, a label that's quickly done well through both word-of-mouth and blogosphere recommendations. I caught up with Kai at TBC, and he talked me through their thinking...

Tagür AKA Blank
Like the better mousetrap, we're constantly trying to design the more stylish sneaker. Burlington-based Tagür is upping the ante with their AKA Blank shoes. These white shoes are an artist's canvas (made from a specially treated paint-friendly surface) on which to express yourself. If you don't feel inclined, just set up one of your "artsy" friends with a Sharpie indelible marker and let 'em...

Alife Pump Tennis
Alife and Reebok have teamed up to redefine the tennis shoe by hybridizing it with a tennis ball. Their Pump Tennis appears to be coated in actual tennis ball felt (click the image to zoom). I don't think it will add much to your game besides distracting your opponent, but will certainly win some cred points. No word yet on availability or edition. Thanks,...
