by Matisse Sheena
Sheena writing the biggest order ever! lol Sorry we are a day late with Sheena’s rant, but I am assuming most of you weren’t in the office on Friday anyway, so we are probably right on time!

Kanye’s expensive taste is the source for his imagination when it come to fashion. In typical press-ready fashion, Kanye West teasingly flaunted his tomato-red, self-designed kicks at Paris Fashion Week this past January, months before the shoes would be available for purchase. The time has come, however, for the pricey pairs’ release in collaboration with Louis Vuitton. How much? hehehe……

The Miami SMOTA Trade Show
by Jorge the Intern
There’s a bunch of new articles that are to be posted about my trip to the trade show in Miami. So be on the lookout as we highlight these companies, wholesalers and manufacturers alike, this week and the next. The traffic wasn’t as full as we had hoped for, but I had fun because it gave me lots of time to talk with the exhibitors and have them explain to me their company in detail. Supposedly, I hear that SMOTA will take place i…
Notes From The Field
by William Weiss
Notes From The Field – Fraternity…Shoes…Strategy….and Lots Of Liquor There’s nothing sexier than a 6AM flight out of Grand Rapids. And nothing more conducive to deep reflection than the mescaline-like haze of a hangover (I stole that line from Lester Bangs; if you have to ask, then we can’t be friends). Lucky for me, I found myself in this exact position this morning, and it allowed me to consider the past week of my l…
