Bottega Veneta: Nero Calf Canvas Ankle Boot

Via: bottegaveneta.com



Bottega Veneta presents the Nero Calf Canvas Ankle Boot for Spring/Summer 2011. “This leather ankle boot is flanked by sections of heavy canvas on either side making the shoe both casual and comfortable. The rubber sole is similar to that of a boat shoe.” Not a bad look for those still into the boat idea, but looking for something a little different, which is why it caught my eye.

Summer 2010 - Dior Homme & Maison Martin Margiela (High-Fashion Footwear)

Maison Martin Margiela - Spring/Summer 2010 - Sneakers



This season, Maison Martin Margiela designs leans on retro shapes, simple shades and strong concepts. The stand out pair for me were the oki-ni white leather slip-on sneakers. The white slip-ons come with a medical touch as they are inspired by the simple white slip-ons worn in medical environments such as hospitals. The upper is crafted from an all-over white large grain leather with matching white stitching and textured rubberized grey sole. Definitely stripped to the bare essentials and unadorned, these sneakers are definitely choice footwear for the quirky sneaker purists who enjoy a good back-story but can do without ostentatious coloring.

Kris Van Assche may champion less is more, but he does not skimp on sophistication just because things are kept clean with a cool minimalist attitude. The Artistic Director of Dior Homme has been winning the hearts and minds of sneaker purists over with uncluttered shapes and classic palettes. This black sneaker not only plays with straps, laces and eyelets, it also plays with contrasting texture by mixing leather with suede and what seems like ballistic nylon. The only pop of color comes from the heel panel that mixes khaki with white.
