September 11, 2008 - As you may know, the fashion industry’s big trade show, MAGIC, took place a couple weeks ago in Vegas. The weather wasn’t the only thing that was hot, as hip designers abounded at MAGIC and sister shows Pool and Project.
On the footwear front, the following brands were brought to our attention:
Nat 2 - Perhaps the most interesting and innovative footwear collection we’ve seen in a while, Germany shoe brand Nat-2’s “2-in-1″ design features removable, interchangeable uppers that transform your basic sneakers into more breathable, comfortable slides with the flick of a zipper. Recently nominated for a 2009 Design Award, it’s only a matter of time until the rest of the world catches on.
United Kranes: If you’re searching for a good-looking shoe to wear while perfecting your badminton skills, consider your search over. This unisex sneaker brand is “dedicated to the world of indoor sports,” and features sick-looking kicks with “soft rubber soles, Ultra Sprint Foam cushioning, and Ultra Anklock TM design” to optimize the game (of life) for athletes and enthusiasts.
Keep Company: The company’s new hitops pays homage to age-old traditions and the handiwork of women everywhere. Stripes abound in woven Mayan fabric straight out of the highlands of Guatemala and hand quilted morning star pieces light the way on the latest Guerra offerings. Tip your hat to the labor of ladies around the world, sit back and get inspired. 100% cotton canvas. Molded rubber sole.
