White Vans Man: Pete Sparrow shows what makes Vans special

Pete_Sparrow_White_VANS.jpgMaybe its something to do with the fact that shoes for the last few years have been low profile (read: thin soled) but there's something about the chunky soles on a pair of classic Vans canvas boat shoes that is looking very right now. Gorgeous photo blog Backyard Bill captures the essential cool of white Vans in the latest update, featuring the charmingly named Pete Sparrow. This UK-born-Manhattan-living adonis pairs his Vans with everything, from swimming shorts and rolled up indigo denim to, my favourite, these pale, loose jogging pants.

Of course photogenic Mr Sparrow could make pretty much anything look cool, but I stand by my assertion that thick-soled Vans are looking pretty hot right now, making them anything but just another pair of white plimsolls. Also seen recently in my Unis shorts post, Office have Vans in stock in a range of tempting colours besides white, the navy ones being notable for their nautical air.

New Puma Suede

puma-suede-collection-3.jpg

Puma have been digging around in the dead stock closet and come out with a butt load of new Suede colours hitting the shelves at the end of the summer. Puma Suedes akin to the Reebok Pump, the Adidas Shell Toes and the Nike Air Max1 are mega players in the sneaker world, never looking dated and always being refreshed with new colourways.

If you really like to draw attention then why not team a pair of these with some bleached denim when they drop late August. Available from Wellgosh and other top retailers.

Lusting after McQueen S/S10: time machine, please?

alexander-mcqueen-spring-2010-sneaker-02-405x540.jpgIt seems in fashion we always want to be at the next destination, now. So it is that we haven't even hit August yet and some of us are already thinking ahead to what to wear in the fall. Of course, the fact that collections are shown out of sync with actual seasons doesn't help. An extreme example I'm faced with is wanting ALL of the McQueen shoe collection from S/S10 right now.

Selectism.com have been giving sneak previews of the McQueen S/S10 shoe collection, when THOSE paint splattered lovelies, will apparently also be available as trainers. Picking up on the folk-art patchwork and paint splattering seen in his recent film-presentation-as-show in Milan, the trainers seen here feature both of these themes as gorgeous detailing. Patience is, I guess, a virtue but in the wicked world of fashion it is sometimes sorely tested.

Poll: ASOS tasselled loafer

fringe tie deck shoe tassel asos mens footwear.jpg
Tasselled loafers have been on our radar for yonks now, and this summer saw deck shoes really break into mainstream menswear but are we ready for a hybrid?

ASOS seem to think so with their fringe tie deck shoe, it has all the retro casual of a deck shoe with the dandy addition of a tassel. As if that wasn't enough it also features a kiltie, we are big fans of the little fringed tab! What do you think? Take our poll and let us know!

Spot the Difference: Nike revamp the Air Max

nike air max maxim reissue.jpg

On the left, you have the original Air Max 1 which dates back from 1987 and on the right, the revamped Air Maxim.

Tinker Hatfield, the original Air Max designer entrusted Jesse Leyve with the revamp who said: "We took the original Air Max 1 design brief and ran it through a present-day filter" It's amazing how something over 20 years old looks as fresh as it did back in 1987, but we're currently torn between the old version and the new one.

The Nike reissue is hitting their pop-up store in August and the Maxim will be released nationwide in the next few weeks.
