Y-3 "Nice to Meet You" Sneaker by Ami Kealoha

We love New York, everybody loves New York, but the latest to proclaim it is Yohji Yamamoto with this limited-edition Y-3 shoe that inaugurates the new Y-3 store opening in Manhattan today. Made using Japanese denim from Yamamoto's fabric atelier, we're digging the futuristic look and who can resist the charm of the title, "Nice to Meet You," printed on the insole? Only 50 pairs are out there, retailing for $500 exclusively at the new store. Get thee to the Meatpacking!

Tretorn NY Store and Gullwing Collection
Along with the recent opening of Tretorn's first NYC store, their recently announced Autumn/Winter 2008 collection, called Gullwing, is full of shoes riffing on the preppy classic in ways we can get behind. The Skymra, for example, swaps out laces for asymmetrical elastic bands, transforming the classic silhouette of the tennis shoe into an avant-slip-on. The canvas version ($70) in bright yellow with a...
