SNEAKERS COVER A LOT OF GROUND
When footwear reduces to the common sneaker,[url=http://duveticashop.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカ店舗[/b][/url], the demand cuts in opposite directions. People want either the pricey styles that are less than two months on the market and moving fast, or cheap classics that are older than 20 years, have never changed and never will.
It's the Converse star and Jack Purcell smile vs. the Nike slash. Old against new, even on billboards. Sometimes the new is straining to look old. A Gap ad campaign displays "authentic footwear" that look like authentic Converse All Stars.
As with most things current and hip,[url=http://duveticacoats.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカ専売店[/b][/url], the root of the debate lies in the clunky styles of the '70s. The Converse low-top ($35 in canvas, $50 in suede) has been miraculously exhumed as a fashion statement. Airwalk Remedy ($59.95) is a skateboarder's derivative of that. Devoid of stars or stripes or even contrasting laces, Airwalks are so popular that Converse and Nike are imitating the deconstructed style.
The space-age Nike basketball shoeswhile,[url=http://discountduveticajackets.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカアウトレット[/b][/url], are marketed with an intentionally limited supply,[url=http://duveticashop.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカ専売店[/b][/url], so kids line up the day they arrive,[url=http://duveticatrenchcoat.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカサイズ[/b][/url], as if shoes were concert tickets. The latest Air Jordans,[url=http://duveticaonline.halod.com/][b]ダウンジャケットレディース[/b][/url], released in late March, sold out in two hours at the in San Francisco Centre -- 36 pairs at $125 each. In San Leandro, 22 pairs went in half an hour.
Reebok Shaqnosis ($89,[url=http://duveticajacketswomenjp.albirank.net/][b]ダウンジャケットメンズ[/b][/url].99) are named for the Orlando Magician and carry a zebra design that looks like a bull's-eye. Watch feet move in these and you are at risk of getting dizzy or being lulled into hypnotic sleep.
Some basketball shoes lace up the side to resemble spats. Other lacing patterns are so intricate a diagram is required. Some offer the illusion that they are incredibly heavy, though that could have to do with the slow shuffle of the wearers. The Nike Zoom Flight ($109.99) worn by has big air bubbles on the bottoms that make the soles look like shoe- skates.
Each subsequent style seems to be more outlandish than its predecessor,[url=http://duveticadownjackets.halod.com/][b]ダウンジャケットduvetica[/b][/url]; constant change is a requirement,[url=http://discountduveticajackets.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカ店舗[/b][/url].
"Fila seems to be pushing into the next range of very chunky,[url=http://duveticatrenchcoat.webmium.com/][b]デュベチカ通販[/b][/url], in-your-face urban athletic footwear," says , Macy's men's fashion coordinator. "They're starting to mimic almost a snowshoe,[url=http://duveticajacketsoutletjp.albirank.net/][b]デュベティカ激安[/b][/url], very graphic with big bolts of stripe."
"Three months is the longest you're going to see a shoe on the shelf these days," says , manager of the Foot Locker in San Francisco Centre. "It's fashion-driven."
In contrast to the Nike and Reebok basketball styles, which must be absolutely fresh, the classics look better the older and more ragged they get. The high-top with the star on the ankle was introduced in 1923, and the silhouette has not changed since. Colors have been added and a few of the pastels look like the old navy and red shoes that got bleached out in the wash.
Members of the punk band Green Day wear Converse high- tops,[url=http://duveticajacketsshopjp.gengfl.com/][b]デュベティカダウンジャケット[/b][/url], as does rapper Coolio. And these are not paid endorsements. Converse got out of that racket a long time ago.
At the Rolo store on Castro, among the best-sellers in the winter months were One Star vinyl sneakers ($50), which appear put together from the pieces of old diner booths. For summer they have been replaced by One Star sandals ($37) and thongs ($32),[url=http://discount2013duveticajackets.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカアウトレット[/b][/url], which look like something the might wear around the pool.
"The One Star came into vogue with the retro look," says ,[url=http://duveticaonline.halod.com/][b]デュベティカダウンジャケット[/b][/url], Converse category manager for Athleisure. "The male consumer gets on the bandwagon, and then the females who think it's really cool to look like the males get on the bandwagon."
At Lombardi Sports, at Jackson and Polk, the most popular women's Converses are , because they make the foot look small, according to ,[url=http://duveticashop.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカアウトレット[/b][/url], the store's shoe manager.
"It's the strategically placed strip," says Paul, noting that white Purcells ($29.99) outsell the nearest competitor 5 to 1.
Even the GAP,[url=http://duveticaonline.halod.com/][b]デュベティカ店舗[/b][/url], which normally markets its own labels, sold Purcells last spring.
This year the Gap is selling its house brand, though they look like Purcells. One Gap innovation is a lug-soled street sneaker with a suede upper ($38.)
The most popular new Adidas sneaker is the Hemp Shoe ($49.99), proclaimed to be stronger than cotton,[url=http://discount2013duveticajackets.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカ専売店[/b][/url], and with a recycled sole. Adidas shoes, nearly put into extinction by striped copies, are now second in sales to Nike at Lombardi. Like so many retro styles, the Adidas resurgence can be traced to skateboard punks, who have led sneaker fashion for one full cycle.
According to , publisher of ,[url=http://duveticadownjackets.halod.com/][b]ダウンジャケットレディース[/b][/url], the skateboarder's bible,[url=http://duveticajacketsmenjp.albirank.net/][b]デュベティカアウトレット[/b][/url], it started with the Converse high-tops. Then they went to Jack Purcell low-tops, then Vans.
In the early 1990s, skaters discovered the out-of-fashion styles of Puma and Adidas, with a colored upper and white sole. Then came Airwalk. The style is simple -- thick, light sole and dark low-top upper in brown, black or green. Some say Airwalks are a copy of Vans, and now even Calvin Klein is copying the clean slip-on style. "All the designs have come together and they all look like the same shoe,[url=http://duveticajacketsonlinejp.halod.com/][b]デュベチカ専売店[/b][/url]," Thatcher says.
Now that everyone is imitating the skaters, they have no choice but to revert to bright whites, with a toothbrush carried in the back pocket to erase the grease. Look for it on your neighborhood curbs.
