Rihanna was spotted wearing the special edition Puma x Sergio Rossi hi-top sneaker which was designed for the Spring 2010 collection. I’m not a huge fan of the sneakers, but she wears them well. You can cop your very own pair at the Luisaviaroma shop now.
I’m stuck in between really liking this collection and kind of iffy about it. Some of the pieces are too hot not to cop (leather jacket) and their are definitely some pieces I can go on with out (like the sneakers and the one piece). But all in all, it’s a great collaboration with an amazing artist.
Fafi on the collection:
Unlike last collaborations with Adidas, I really wanted to be involved in graphic design as well as styling, all the pieces are inspired by my own closet, stuff I founded in vintage stores or during my trips. This is a very colorful spring/summer 2010 collection to celebrate the end of a cold winter, good times with friends, get noticed at airports and music festivals!
Wow, really? News hit the street last week about Jimmy’s Choo’s decision to make sneakers. I mean, like the UGG x J.C collaboration wasn’t enough of a surprise, wait till you hear the price! Yup, $625! Don’t know who would consider spending this much on a pair of sneakers, but hey, it’s Jimmy Choo!
We here at TLD, love Keds! So hearing about Keds collaboration just gets us excited! I am especially excited for the sequin shoe in collaboration with Alive + Olivia. The shoes will be available at Neiman Marcus, as well as Alice + Olivia boutiques + aliceandolivia, and of course A + O retailers worldwide. Available in four colors — black, silver, pale pink and safari green — each retails for $88.
“I don’t think I removed Keds from my feet as a kid,” Bendet said. “I can’t even count how many pairs I had. We decided to do a collaboration that would bring a little Alice + Olivia fun to the 2010 Keds Champion.”

Have you ladies been waiting long enough? I posted a video last week to see if you could catch a peek at one of the shoes that Hellz Bellz and Vans have collaborated on. Set to be released in February, the Sophie and Hadley will have girls going wild to get a pair in their hands. I couldn’t get the Hellz x Reebok, but these I will NOT sleep on.
The styling on the two shoes reflects Hellz Bellz designer Lanie Barcena’s own dichotomous take on fashion, which she describes as “tomboy chic” and “edgy feminine.” (VIA)
I’m all for “going out of the box” with designing, but these might be a little over the top. But I’m sure Kanye can’t wait to get his hands on these. For their 2010 Spring/Summer sneaker collection Givenchy went up and beyond what is currently on the shelves in the sneaker world. What do you think? These are men sneakers, do you dig ‘em?
How could someone ever go wrong in polka dot sneakers? The latest from UBIQ’s sneaker releases are three new colorways in the Fatima model, all of which are part of the brand’s Polka Dot Pack. Included are black, cool grey, and brown options, each boasting a white polka dot print throughout the uppers, complimented with white laces and midsoles
We recently received a nice little care package from Keds, but upon looking at the Velvet Keds, I think I might have to give mine a make-over! I know I wont be able to cover my Keds in velvet, but It would be fun to do a little DYI shoe make-over. Jeffrey has teamed up with Keds for this holiday collaboration of these velvet classic shoes, in four colors. Love!
At first glance, the sneakers alone are pretty fug, they definitey look like a cheap DYI project to me. But second glance, on my future husband-they look soooo good! He is rockin’ the Christian Louboutin Studded Louis Sneakers, which are from the Spring/Summer 2010 Collection, and retail for about $1,200. Looking good P, looking good.
Our friend Dante sent the TLD Ladies some Pro-Ked Champions! I immediately broke them out of the box and put them on, navy and white. I love the navy because they have a little bit of a gray hue to them. These canvas shoes are really comfortable and cute. The rubber sole puts me back into elementary school because all I remember is running around in them and NOT slipping because the traction was so good. 
One of the things I like most is how thin and narrow they are. You can wear these with really skinny jeans and no bunching happens! They remind me of the Vans Authentic Lo Pro HOWEVER far from the typical Vans that everyone else has. These are also a little more friendly to your wallet.
Another photo after the cut. Thanks for the shoes Dante!
