Thanks to Julian for sending over a link to the new lacoste spring/summer 06 line. I can’t say that I’ve ever been a big fan but a few of this seasons designs are intruiging. Actually, it’s all about the Rotate Mirage for me. A nice looking kick that is very reminiscent of, and look to be inspired by cycling shoe designs. Thanks Mr. Simpson.

For all you sneaker pimps, Gravis has recently introduced their spring 06 lineup. Guys can check them here, ladies here. Ive only ever owned the Kingpin which held up equally on my mountain bike pedals riding through the trails or walking down numerous city streets. Nice wide platform, good ankle protection, and looked snazzy. The new Kingpin looks equally fresh.

A good look at the new adiColor schemes. Some heavyweight designers with their interpretations. Notably Peter Saville’s uber minimalist G2. Not surprising that he’d get away with introducing a fully white shoe to the green series.

Shoe technology amazes me. The R&D budget that goes into some of these developments must be LARGE. Rightfully so, I think. After all, these little jobs do carry us around quite frequently. Some of the products coming out today, especially the ones that cater to performance related activities are mindblowing. I write this after checking out what is new at adidas, my personal favourite shoemaker. (more…)
