Jason Markk x Staple Sneaker Solution Set
(16 January 2008) - It sounded like a good idea, but when we first heard about Jason Markk sneaker solution, we had our doubts.

Nike Considered: Long Ball Lace
(14 August 2007) - We've never had a problem getting behind Nike Considered's eco-consciousness, but there have only been a few styles that we'd actually, er, consider wearing. Following suit, new to the Considered family and taking a page from the Footscape series, Nike introduces the Long Ball Lace. With the looks of a deconstructed baseball, it's not really for me. But it's environmental cred is even more...

Creative Recreation Fall 2007
(20 July 2007) - Until now Creative Recreation's busy line of sneakers available in dizzying numbers of colorways hasn't quite appealed to my taste for subtler, clean-cut shoes. But their new Fall 2007 collection swayed my opinion. The Rocco, Colombo and Ponti (pictured above from L-R, click on image for detail) immediately caught my eye for their more grown-up, understated approach. I like the move towards more monochrome...

Emma Hope
(10 July 2007) - I've been wearing a pair of Emma Hope's luxurious signature sneakers since last year, loving what I saw as a neat twist on the Smith aesthetic. Only after a bit of digging did I discover that she previously designed for Paul Smith anyway. With an elongated, yet low-profile shape, the shoes are taken to the next level by the materials used. Calf, pony and...
