FRESH STYLES FOR SUMMER

SUMMER IS UPON US ONCE AGAIN, AND WITH IT COMES A LOT OF NEW TRENDS. SOME VERY PRETENTIOUS AND OVER THE TOP, BUT FOR MANY ITS A CHANCE TO TRY MANY NEW EXCITING AND FRESH STYLES AND SEE IF THEY CAN PULL THE LOOK OFF.

FOR ME WITH AND WITH THE WORK I DO, I HAVE ALWAYS HAD A SLIGHT FETISH FOR SHOES, AND SUMMER FASHIONS ARE ALWAYS A GOOD PLACE TO START AND THIS YEAR IS DEFINITELY NO DISAPPOINTMENT.

BOTH NIKE SB AND GRAVIS FOOTWEAR HAVE LOOKED BACK ON THE SUMMER YACHTSMAN LOAFER FEEL OF BRANDS LIKE SABAGO AND ADAPTED IT INTO SOME SERIOUSLY DESIRABLE FOOTWEAR. WITH NIKE'S STEFAN JANOSKI SHOE THEY HAVE TAKEN A SUPER NICE SPIN ON THE BOAT SHOE USING A DEEP MARINE BLUE, STRIKING BRILLIANT WHITE AND TOPPING IT OFF WITH A DEEP BROWN LEATHER TRIM WHICH REALLY WORKS.

FOLLOWING ON FROM THEIR REVOLUTIONARY DYLAN LO SKATE SHOE GRAVIS HAVE ONCE AGAIN TEAMED UP WITH THE ARTY HOLLYWOOD SKATER TO PRODUCE A SUEDE LOAFER. WHETHER THESE ARE IN FACT SKATEABLE WILL HAVE TO BE SEEN ON THEIR RELEASE, BUT I PERSONALLY CANT WAIT TO GET MY HANDS ON A PAIR.

ANOTHER NEW SHOE FOR SUMMER SEES A NEW ADDITION TO A VERY NEW RANGE OF SHOES FROM HABITAT CALLED THE QUEST. IT FEATURES A VULCANISED SOLE AND A NEWER SLIMMER PROFILE SILHOUETTE, AND BOASTING THE ART OF ARTIST CHARLEY HARPER, MAKE THEM A PRETTY DESIRABLE SKATE SHOE INDEED.
