Click for show website!
I have never been to the Capsule show, so I really enjoyed reading this article!! Refreshing coming an old shoe doggie such as Will to because we all know he is somewhat hard to impress! haha&#8230;Okay, I had to give him a little bit of sh*t because if I didn&#8217;t he would think something was wrong.    I love how PBR is making its way into the footwear industry&#8230;this is the second post in a row&#8230;]]></description>

I spoke with the CEO of FANSHOES a couple weeks back and I am so happy to hear about their fast growing success!! Gabriel Ankamafio-Adjei is excited to continue to expand and there is tons of potential!  Maybe, he should make a Lebron shoe designed by the owner of the CAVS&#8230;now that would be interesting! haha  Anyway, it seems Gabriel is in the right market at the right time and I can tell from speaking with him tha&#8230;]]></description>

How exciting is it that I met Seth Campbell the founder/designer of UES all the way back a couple years ago when he first launched his line?? Now he is partnered with Steve Madden and his business is taking off! We stopped in to catch up with him at the Steve Madden showroom during FFaNY and in all honesty, his designs are getting better and better!  We also met, Jamie Jankowski who is the new Brand Man&#8230;]]></description>

Amsterdam June 2010
 
Hi Everyone! I hit the streets of Amsterdam this past week just as the summer sale season was kicking into full gear, and the early fall deliveries were hitting stores. Compared to last summer, much of the ‘street’ look remains very similar – bright pops are still out in full force, however interviews with local merchants and a look at some of the early fall product seems to indicate this trend has&#8230;]]></description>

They almost look almost like normal sneakers which I am sure will be attractive to the customer!  I also think the name is catchy.   I am a fan of the folks at New Balance and I wish them much success with this launch!
