Neutral pumps are practically not the most fashionable pair when trying to make an impacting statement. That was history. Camilla Skovgaard has dared to change it with what we can call the Saw Plateau leather heels. This set is anything but understated and demure. All the credit for its eye-catching value goes to the 5″ stiletto heel that is supported by a set of teeth carved in a serrated rubber platform.

Luxury fashion house Armani has decided to team up with sports label Reebok for some adventure with running shoes. The new collection that they have come up with will be laucned during the men’s fashion shows in Milan. This one is dubbed the EA7 collection and it consists of sports styles under the category ‘The Runner’ and some sophisticated styles under ‘Mega Chic’. These footwear come at a time when fellow Italian designer Salvatore Ferragamo launched some sneakers with Yohji Yamamoto. Even Kanye West’s successful association with Louis Vuitton and Nike sneakers could have led Armani to join the bandwagon.

So we do know one thing that fashion has been combined with shoes several times before. Then what’s new and special with what Armani and Reebok are here to offer us? Well, their collection has been translated as the most sports-centric among them all. We think that the design got a lot of experience from the fact that Armani co-owns the Olimpia Milano basketball team.

Luxury world has recently started witnessing some real cool collaborations and detours. We mean how one luxury brand joins hands with another one to concoct a real treat of a fine item. And then there are occasions when say fashion house will create some spectacular furniture for homes that afford it. These are just a couple of situation we just love to hear and talk about. Take this instance where Porsche Design goes on board with Adidas to create a new collection of footwear as part of the spring/summer 2010.

The theme is ‘water/snow’ and from what we hear, these kickass shoes are not meant for just Porsche fans alone. In fact, any discering collector of real cool shoes would be more than happy to own one of these. Very smooth, this collection indeed knows how to keep a low profile while making a real strong impact.

Traditionally, boots have always meant to keeping you warm through the coldest times of the year. Then came the rather overwhelming fashion sense that drove shoemakers to make them look good. And it was Nancy Sinatra who followed suit with her ‘almost a paradigm’ like song, These Boots Are Made for Walkin. But now, all these paradigms will experience a major shift. Miu Miu has launched a pair of boots that will not necessarily fight the cold for you nor would you wanna rough out the weather in them (or should we say, fluttering in society dos is more like the course of action you’d wanna undertake). All this without the slightest sound of complain.

Take a look at these knee high boots by the trendy fashion brand started by Prada for the young and spunky women out there. And these spell glam thanks to a heavy adornment of Swarovski crystals on the heel. Then there are the sexy cutouts all along the shape of the boot.

Adidas tasted Swarovski when creating the crystal studded skating shoes some time back. And the taste of luxury blood (figuratively, of course) stayed on in the mouth. As a result, the sportsgear maker has now decided to come forth with a heavy dose of glitter to make your Christmas and New Year celebrations a very sporty and luxurious event indeed. We are talking about the pair of limited edition Swarovski x Adidas Jeremy Scott Wing Crystal Sneakers.

Boy, with a name as grand as that one can expect nothing better than the very best. Priced at $3,697, this pair of sparkling white shoes, have an extra sheen owing to the many many Swarovski crystals embedded in its surface all over. You heard it right, these Adidas Jeremy Scott Wing sneakers feature a fine quality leather that is completely covered with precious ices.

You can tell a lot about a man by the shoes he wears. And the impression is going to be a pretty strong one (in a good way, of course) if he is wearing one of ECCO’s fashionable creations, we think. The brand has given quite a few delicious footsie options to avid golfers in the past. And living up to its reputation, once again it has something that other brands will have a tough time matching up with. The new Premium 109 collection is exclusive to say the least.

This limited edition has quite an impressive range of croc skin golf shoes that have been made to order by extremely skilled and talented artisans at the company owned facilities. A very unique process of production involves the latest in technologies and the best in professional expertise.

Next time you spot one of the hottest eye candies around climbing out of that extremely hot Ferrari, we suggest you’d take a look at what his feet are wearing. You bet on it, it will be Tod’s. The Italian shoemakers friendship with the exotic car brand goes way back. So much so that the two are almost synonymous to each other. Now, that could be a possible consequence of the fact that Ferrari’s chairman sits on the board of Tod’s. We are not sure. It’s just speculation.

The companies’ reps tell us that the two kindred spirits have joined hands to create an exclusive line of driving mocassins that car enthusiasts will have a hard time resisting. The Tod’s for Ferrari line consists of three models that go by the names – the Lecetto with laces, Lacetto Tubi GT with tassels and the Mascherina  Griglia with a grille of the iconic 250 GTO emblem. The first one comes in colors red and blue while the latter two stick to black and brown suede.

Famous pop-singer-cum-celebrity wife-cum-designer Victoria Beckham has Paris Hilton following in her footsteps. No we are not implying any wedding plans for Ms. Hilton in the offing. In fact, it is the ‘designer’ streak that brought up the comparison in the first place. The ‘love her, hate her but you cannot ignore her’ Paris is back in news with the launch of her very own line of shoes. And this one is solely dedicated to all the pretty brides in town.

So far, the collection features four very stylish shoes for women all set to walk the aisle. The names of these models are Senorita, Belina, Destiny and Regal, and all of these feature a bow as an integral element.

Time has come (in most places across the world) to grab your skates and sip hot chocolate in a skating rink with your bumchums. We are not suggesting any major deviation from that except for some real luxurious and classy skates to replace the rather common ones you already own. We are referring to a collection that goes by the name of ‘In the world of animals’ that comes with 15 different models of stylish skates that have been hand decorated with sparkling Swarovski crystals all over.

In fact, we hear that famous figure skater Anastasia Grebenkin, who is also known as an actress and radio broadcaster, was quite perturbed with the missing sparkle in her attire required for an otherwise flawless and elegant sport. Well, now she cannot complain anymore.

The holiday season is almost here. One month is just enough time to equip yourself with good presents for both oneself and those near and dear around. And you will agree when we say that Christmas and New Year deserve you stepping up in the style quotient too. Nothing is too blingy or snazzy for the festive mood. In fact, the more larger than life, the better it is. Take the Mirror Mosaic Strappy Sandals for instance. These come from the fashion house of Thakoon and promise to bring a much needed zing to your Christmas or New Year outfit.

OK, they are over the top but definitely in a good way. These dazzling pair of footsies flaunt silver mirrored leather with brick-efect paneling. The black suede trim gives a very clean finish. Even the cutout effect along with the angled peep toe opening lend their own magic to the whole affair. Your feet will sure be pampered!
