How did I miss this when it was originally unveiled in June? Woah. This might be the very first Mr. Hare shoe that I will be able to afford, at least I hope so. My bank account should permit me to spend a sufficient amount without feeling guilt, these are more than likely to be less than £150. Mr. Hare’s shoes in recent seasons have always mixed and matched colours, materials and silhouettes – this is not different. The combination of patent black and white makes for an ideal evening wear shoe – I certainly don’t think every man would be able to pull these off. It’s going to take another level of confidence for me to wear these, in fact I may have to invest in a whole new outfit to work with one of these shoes. Haha. More on the reverse.

Oh gosh. Never thought I’d say this about an Air Max but these are super SEXY. Yes sneaker heads, hate on me and call me for not liking the classic air max model that most of you worship. I was never into the sporty sneakers but something about this pair just stands out for me. It’s not just the bright colourway with the contrasting shiny metallic bits – it’s the construction that fascinated me. It’s completely stitch-less – the Hyperfuse is a three layer composite technology invented by Nike. It’s engineered in a very similar manner to the carbon fibre composites in F1 race cars, now that’s telling you something. Imagine the Nike labs with scientists experimenting on sneakers haha. The tech basically fuses together all 3 layers to form a continuous upper that pushes the boundaries of durability, breathability and weight. Originally inspired by the conditions that young Chinese kids were playing basketball in, they were all wearing inappropriate heavy footwear. Nike provides the solution. More on the reverse.

I’ve decided to start a new series post entitled Someone Please Buy Me… a post which will be the home for all my fashion and gadgetry desires. For the inaugural post I feature these Christian Louboutin sneakers taken from the brands upcoming Autumn/Winter collection. The studded Louis high top sneaker has seen the ligh of day in many different incarnations but I think this has to be the best one yet. As I sit here writing this post I am actually salivating at the prospect of owning these beauties. I can just imagine the red sole looking exceptionally pleasing to the eye contrasted against the all black colourway, priced in the region of £1000 I find it hard to realistically see myself wearing these in the near future but one can only hope. So can Someone Please Buy Me a pair.

We do like to keep our fashion related posts relatively prize conscious but there are times when we see things that, even though we know we cannot afford, just have to be posted. Majority if the time the reason is due to the fact that our desire to attain the featured fashion in the post is at an all time high however this is not necessarily the case for this particular post. Giacomorelli have released a look at their impending 2011 Fall/Winter Collection, I had never previously heard of the brand before today but after seeing the collection I feel like i’ve seen all they have to offer before. And I have but just under a different brand name, is it me or do nearly all of these styles bare a striking resemblance to Christian Louboutin? See the full line up after the cut.

If ever I was a superhero then sneakers/footwear would be my kryptonite. My love for shoes far out weighs the capacity of my bank balance but this doesn’t stop my desire to own as my pairs of sneakers as possible. It’s always nice to come across a brand that I previously hadn’t heard of before. Giuliano Fujiwara give us a preview of their upcoming 2012 Spring/Summer sneaker collection a collection in which I only like three of the the seven on show but never the less its nice to see what people are coming out with. Check the selection on the flipside.

It may be summer, or so we are led to believe with this nonsense British weather, but i’m already on the look out for footwear to compliment my future winter wardrobe. On many occasion I have almost parted ways with my hard earned cash in exchange for some red bottoms but i’ve pulled out every time. For those who are wondering what red bottoms are, i’m referring to the red bottoms of Christian Louboutin footwear. Check out these two upcoming releases from their 2011 Fall/Winter collection after the break. They are surprisingly understated when compared to other Louboutin releases.
