DROOL. Major drool. Recognise the silhouette? Looks familiar doesn’t it. I’m sure luxury shoe brand Feit took inspiration from Nike‘s hi-top blazer sneaker. I’d be lying if I said I’d heard of this brand before, they’re definitely luxury with the price range. £200+ but that the appeal is too much, I want. The brand’s latest Hand Sewn Reconnaissance collection features a Hand Sewn Superclean Low, High and Stitchdown model in three different leather colourways. Each one has been constructed using the brand’s unique building process – all handmade. That’s a rarity, I don’t mind paying that much money for a pair of kicks that are limited. This collection should be available at select retailers worldwide soon.

Vans Vault are venturing out for their SS11 footwear collection where they’ve teamed with Japanese designer Taka Hayashi. Here we have a classic Vans model with a twist, a bizarre layer of ostrich leather on the outside of a shoe displaying a nice blend of earthy shades of brown, grey and off-white. I love this shoe it’s very unusual; the simple detailing on the outside has managed to give it a unique look. I hope they’ll be available here as I look forward to wearing them next year.

Last Saturday sneakerheads filled the streets of SoHo for the annual event Sneaker Con 2010. The event supplied these sneaker obsessed sneakerfeins with over 40 vendors and the ability to buy, sell, and trade kicks and clothing as well. The good folks coordinating Sneaker Con gave Y&Y the opportunity check out the event. Sneaker Con was ultra packed with the line wrapping around the block all for one common love interest; Sneakers. More after the cut.

Girls’ birthday soon? Not sure what to get her? Adidas SLVR have dropped something new, a sneaker and wedge shoe hybrid obviously for women they have called The Women’s Slide. The slide is constructed from interlocking leather sections that wrap the foot with minimal contact, a cushioned leather and rubber outsole which is super comfy. The shoe is simple and elegant reinterpretation of the summer classic and is available in silver, black, white and in yellow… which you can check out after the cut.
